The Iog Tax. For many years Germany tried lo control the dogs with a dog tax. Two things were involved the prevention of hydrophobia and the protection of the sheep Industry It was found that the high-priced, highly-taxed dog of privilege could transmit as much hydrophobia and kill as many sheep as any old dog. So Germany passed and enforced a national muzzling law. Results: No hydrophobia in twenty years; absolute protection of the sheep industry against destruction of Kheep by utray dog3. H. I). Stewart.

MASSKY AI.I.OVi:i BOND Darkey, Who Killed Will Palterv.n, Hold For Superior Court l iider $l"o Bond (liven ! Months For Carrying Concealed W'eaKit, But ApK'led. Clyde Massey, the darkey who shot and killed Will Patterson, rolored. at Waxhaw Monday night, was bound over to criminal court under a $1,500 bond on the murder charge, and sen tenced to six months on the roads for carrying concealed weapon by Judge W. u. Lemmond this morning. No tice of appeal on the road sentence was given by Massey's attorney, Mr. J. C. Sikes. At the preliminary hearing yester day tlie State attempted to show that all four of the shots were tired by the defendant; that Patterson was not armed, nnd that Massey shot him without justification. The defense, on the other hand, sought to estab lish that two of the Ehots were tired by Patterson, and that his gun was secured by ills brother after he had fallen to the ground, mortally wounded. The defense also alleged that Patterson tired the llrst shot. The shooting occurred on the Providence road, tight in the heart of Waxhaw, near the residence of Col. J. L. Kodman. Massey was accom panying Broxle Slmonds, a Sandy Kidge negress. from the school house, whore the emancipation celebration was held, to the home where she was visiting. It seems that Patterson had met the woman, llroxie Simonds, some time ago, and that they had been corresponding regularly. But when she came to Waxhaw, so U seems from the evidence, she Jilted Patterson for Massey. Patterson be came Incensed over her treatment, and Is paid to have made the remark at the school house that "he was go ing to square things up that night and leave the next morning." It was also stated that Massey Was aware of the threat made by Patterson. Other witnesses testified that they saw Patterson walking from the school house, following Massey and Simonds, towards town, holding a gun In his hand. But before he ap proached Massey he had placed the gun back in his pocket, it was said. When Massey and his girl readied the spot where the shooting occurred, Patterson nrproached the girl and said: "Unless you do what you said you would, don't write me any more of those white lies." The girl re plied, so it Is alleged: "Well, you stop sending your junk up there." One word brought about another; then the thooting took place. There were several witnesses, but nearly all tell different tales. Masrey escaped after the shooting, but gave himself up later to Consta ble B. J. Winchester. Mr. H. T. Clark, for whom Massey worked prior to the shooting, pave the negro nn excellent- character, stating that he was one of the best darkles in the Waxhaw community.

"Kven if we managed to get through the front door without mak ing a noise, if what Kev. Mr. White says Is true, we would iind the door to the room In which they are play ing locked. By the time we had forced an entrance through it the players would be warned. They would then put their money in their pockets, hide the cards, and the ofii eers would find nothing. Those mak ing the raid could then be indicted for forcible trespass. "Our law, which Is derived from the Knglish common law, declares a man innocent of any crime until his Miilt is proven. It is incumbent upon the State to prove the guilt of a liar ty. or parties, and it necessary that the officers rwetir postivtly thatHhe party actually committed the crime." Feeling that Kev. Mr. White had done the ofilcers nn injustice. Chief (irlflin wrote him requesting that he give the source of his Information in order that the matter could be Inves tigated. The letter reads: "Monroe. Jan. 2. t!U7. "Kev. L. M. White. Monroe, N. C. "My Dear Sir: I have read with considerable Interest the report in "The Monroe Journal"' of a sermon you preached in your church on last Sunday night, when you made the statement that gambling was going on in the Commercial Club and that the police, or the ofilcers of the town, were aware of it nt the time. "Fooling that you, as a loyal cili zen of the town, having interest and welfare of the moral uplift of this community at heart, I request that you communicate to me the names of the parties engaged in gambling ami also the names of the ofilcers cogni zant of the fact.

"I would thank you to lot mo have this Information at your very earliest convenience as I shall endeavor to give it the same publicity as your ac cusation. Very truly yours, C. H.

The Waxhaw Enterprise paid following glowing tribute to the Mr. Henry Niven, who lost his life in automobile accident last week: an "'Henry is dead!' That message, came over tne wires irom i nan one last Wednesday, and us import cart a pall of sadness over every heart in the town. Perhaps there has never been any other instance of such gen uine forrow throughout the whole community. Although he was only a boy, old nu n grieved at his death and every individual felt a personal loss, for he was everyone's friend. "Kindly and courteous, genial, and Jolly, every ready with wit and hu mor, he was a delightful companion. His cheery greeting somehow made the skies a little bit brighter. "Henry had just reached that good time in life when he could under stand the aims and hopes of a man. but had not been hurt by the world's rough treatment which sooner or later takes much of the confidence out of the man whom it buffets about. "The Methodist church wascrowded at the funeral hour Thursday, and if there was a dry eye in the throng it was one in which the fountain had boon drained by hours of anguish. The chancel was banked with ferns and flowers, offerings of love to the boy, and tokens of sympathy to the gtit f-strii ken ones who loved him. from friends who could not be pres ent. And with the flower petals were mingled many tears. "Words express so little when the heart means so much. To the father and mother, to the sisters and the brothers, we cannot express the sym pathy which the heart feels. We can only prlp their hands in silence.
