Gib soft Drug S^bre MAD DOG SCARE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD General Assembly of 1817 Enacted Laws Regulating Dogs in North Caro lina. Raleigh News and Observer. That agitation for the regulation of dogs to prevent hydrophobia is not a new thing in North Carolina is shown by the following laws which were passed' by the General Assembly, of this State more than one hundred years ago: Laws of 1817. “An act increasing the power of the commissioners of incorporated towns, in regard to dogs within the same. ’Whereas, the , number of dogs kept in the towns of this Stnte. as well as by slaves as by free persons, have so in creased a* to render them a nuisance, and greatly to increase the dreadful malady Hydrophobia. , “Be it enacted by the General As sembly of the State of North Carolina and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That the Commissioners of every incorporated town in this State shall have (lower to impose such annual tax on dogs kept within said town as they think proper'; and to require the pet-sons owning or possessing said dogs,; to return same in their list of taxable, property, in the same manner as other taxable property is by jaw required to be given in for taxation.” It was further enacted that if dogs were not returned for taxes that the! Commissioners might declare same to be nuisances and ordered killed, if the tax was not paid after 30 days notice to the owner. The same Legislature alsa passed a law entitled “an act. concerning mad dogs, which read as follows: "Whereas that most dreadful of all maladies Hydrophobia has become much more common than formerly by reason of the negligence of the owners of dogs: for remedy whereof, 1 “Be it enacted by the General As sembly of North Carolina, and tt is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That whenever the owner of any dog shali know or have good reason to believe that his or her dog or any dog belonging to hfe or her slave or other person in his or her employment, has been bitten by a mad dog. and shall neglect or refuse immediately to kill the same, he or she so refusing or neglect ing shall pay the sum of twenty-five pounds, to be recovered for the use of hipn or her who may sue for the same, in any court having jurisdiction there of, with costs. “And it is further enacted, That lie or she so refusing or neglecting) as afore said. shall be further liable to pay all damages which may be sustained by any person or persons whatsoever by the bite of any dog belonging as aforesaid.” Clflss gonial.

He Say* He Believes Christ Was Only a Great Jew. Dayton, Tenn., July 22.—Forbidden to examine Clarence Darrow on the wit ness stand concerning Che Chicago law yer's religious views, William Jennings Bryan administered the examination through the medium of a statement. Nine questions were propounded and answered shortly afterward by Darrow. Mr. Darrow expressed his agnosti cism toward what might be back of the universe and itß origin, declared he looked upon the Bible as any other great book, believed “the Christ that was foretold in the Old Testament was simply a great Jew who should deliver the Jews from physical bondage,” and did not believe in miracles. He said he still was seeking evidence upon the pos sible life beyond the grave. Mr. Bryan’s questions were preceded by the following statement: “In accepting the invitation of the defense to testify. I did so on condition that I might question the attorneys on the other side in the same way. “IVhen the court reached the con clusion that such testimony was In competent and expunged it from the record. I was precluded from asking thi questions which I had prepared. I give them below, and it will be seen that they are as improper for the trial as Darrow’s, but as proper for the news papers. “If the gentlemen are as ho post as they constantly protest that they are, they will not object to a frank state ment of their views. Before the court and in the proffer of evidence, they con tended that, the theory of evolution is consistent with the Bible. If so, why was the case not conducted by conspicu ous champions of Christianity? “If their answers show that they do not accept the Bible in its orthodox in terpretation as it is accepted by the people of Tennessee, then the public will be compelled to believe that instead Os defending free speech or religious liberty, they are attempting to force the views of a minority—whether those views be described as religious or ir religious—upon thp children of (lie majority in the public schools. “The questions which I would have asked Mr. Darrow. Mr. Malone, Mr. Hftys, Mr. Newman and their less con spicuous assistants who sat in the tpcoml row and manufactured the poisonous gas which their chiefs em ployed are as follows: “1. Do you believe,,,in the existence >f God as described in the Bible? “2. Do you believe that the Bible is the revealed word of God. inspired and rustworbhy? “3 Do you believe in the super natural Christ, foretold in the Old Testament, and revealed in the New Testament?” “4. Do you believe in tile miracles re corded in the Old and New Testaments? “5. If you believe in some, but not all of them, please name a few of those which you accept and those you reject, with the reasons for the same. “6. Do you believe thbt Christ was •onceived of the Holy (Fhnst and born of the Virgin Mary ns recorded in Matthew and Luke ? “7. Do you believe that Christ rose from the dead, aa described in the four i AND CONCORD THEATRE THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY v ik*'' EwPjja Sits* stll I SPECIAL NOTICE—We cannot honor merchants free tickets on this Extra Attraction this week.

Do you believe in the immortality of the soul? * “9. if you believe in evolution, at what point in man’s descent from the brute is he endowed with hope and promise of a life beyond the grave?” Mr. Darrow’s answers were: “Mr. Bryan has seen fit to ask me to answer nine specific questions. Os course, I speak for myself and, myself alone and of my present opinion which I am always ready to change. “1. I do not know of any description of God in the Bible, although we are informed in one part of it He is a spirit. If Mr. Bryan would describe what me meant by God, I could tell him whether I believed in his God. The question of what was meant by the word was direct-, ly put to counsel for the state and one of the attorneys in Mr. Bryan’s presence said he believed God was like a man and was a magnified picture of a man. I do not believe in this kind of a God. As to the origin of the universe and what is back of it, I do not pretend to know. I haven’t the intimate acquaintance Mr. Bryan says he has. "2. I think there is much of value in! the Bible. I do not believe it was writ ten or inspired by God. I believe it should be taken as every other book, and that there are portions shat are sub lime, as in any other great book which by a figure of speech might be called in spired. I might even say this of Mr. Bryan’s ‘ln His Image’ if I could find any such portions. ‘'3. I do not. believe in nny super natural Christ ns foretold in the Old Testament or revealed in the New Testa-, ment. I believe the Christ that was fore told in the Old Testament was simply a great Jew who should deliver the Jews from physical bondage. “As to 4, 5 and 7, I do not believe in miracles. T believe the universe acts and always has acted in accord with im mutable laws and that whatever force may be back of the uni venae hns never violated these laws. ”8. I have been searching for proof of this all my life, with the same desire to find it that is incident to every living thing, and I have never found any evi dence on the subject. “!). I have no knowledge on the ques tion of when man first believed in a life beyond the grave. I am not at all sure whether some animals may not’ have the same hope. The origin may have arisen in vivid dreams concerning the return of the dead, or, for all I know, from actual evidence of the re turn of the dead. “I have never tried to impose my views of religion upon any human being that ever lived. I have a right to my own views and would fight as haid to protect any other man's views as I would my own.” John Calvin Hancock Died at Home Wednesday Morning.
