Salisbury, N. 0.. May 23, 1917
.There are numerous com
plaints of chickens injuring
neighbors' gardens. This is
an important matter that de
serves consideration and peo
ple who have chickens should
be considerate enough of
their neighbors' welfare to
keep their chickens at home.
It is bad enough to have
'ene'ti own chickens scratch up
the garden and it is too
much to expect your neighbor
to tolerate it. No one wants
to kill his neighbors' chick
ens, but the law gives him
this right after giving the
owner three notices to keep
them Off of his premises.
A negro woman was haled
into court the other day and
taxed with the costs for per
mitting a little poodle dog to
ran at large without a muz
zle on. This is nothing short
of the rankest injustice and
a specimen of littleness of
which an enlightened people
ought to be ashamed. There
are hundreds of unmuzzled
dogs to be seen on cur street
every aay, large, vicious
dogs, belonging to people
who know the law and are
perfectly able to purchse
muzzles and. if the law is to
be enforced, all should be
treated alike, or it should be
repealed. This thing of
dragging some Negro into
court and taxing her with
costs while the more able and
"dlliberate guilty" are allow
ed to go free is a blot on our
civilization, We think very
lettle of an officer who will
show such unjust partiality.
Feer Hsases Burned YesterdaY.
A rather serious fire on the
east side of the southern
Railway's main line on Chest-
nut Hill yesterday morning
completely destroyed four
cottages and a barn The fire
originated in the residence
occupied by a Mr Keith and
owing to a high wind spread
Quickiy to the adjoining
houses on each side, one of
which was occupied by Mrs
John Trexler and the other
by Mrs Morris. The flames
then crossed a narrow street
-and consumed a cottage oc
cupied by Charlie Hartman
and also destoyed a barn
near by All were burned
to the ground. The occu
pants saved a part of their
householi " goods Other
nearby homes were endanger
ed by sparks fanned along
nd at great distance by the
high winds
ine nearest nyarant was
jou South Main street about
two blocks or more from the
scene of the fire.: The loca
tion of the fire was at a point
between the Yadkin railway
just where it leaves the main
line roadbed and the Good
man Lumber Company's plant
and first reports comi ug to
the city were that it was the
lumber plant burning and a
great crowd flocked to the
scene. The barn destroyed
belonged to Mr Link.

Ever see a $ Mark on a Tombstone.
In glancing over a dailey paper
the other day, we found the no
tice of a farmer's death and in
the obituary a paragraph that
seems worth passing on:
"For twenty years Mr. Mitchel
has been chairman of the local
school committee, giving his
whole-hearted support to the
school, the education of the
youth of Rolesville being his
one great ambition. It is gen
erally conceded that to him is
due the credit for the fact that
the school is the social center
of the communit3T that it is to
day." And the gratifying fact is that
all over the South we have an in
creasing number of men and wo
men who, when their obituaries
are written, will likewise have it
said of them that they didn't live
for self alone, bnt did something
worthy and specific for the good
of the community. There has
always been a desire among our
people to help the commnnity, but
until lately it hasn't found ade
quate means of expression. "A
dollar mark is something you
never see on a tombstone," says
Dr. D W Daniel. "A man may
give his life to making money,
but he wants something better
skid of him when he dies." And
now with all the new forward
movements in tha South, a man
may easily work so that this
something better may be said.
Ask yourself what unselfish
movements you are helping for

City Election.
The city election, which
was a very quiet affair, only
200 votes being polled, took
place here yesterday, the
voting being done at the us

there was no opposition to
the Democratic nominee?
