BUT THAT WAS AT THE CLOSE
OF THE WAR
Old Copy of thc New York Her
aid Which Contains Inter
esting Reading
Mr. l> X Fowler showell to thc
reporter the other day n copy ol'
the New York Herald of tho date
April 15th, lyO?. The copy belongs
to Mr. Fowler's mother ami they
lound il the other day in the house.
It is interesting and several looked
at the articles with interest.
Thc edition tells of the death wt'
President Abraham Lincoln. Ile
had been shot the evening before
at thc theatre ami at the time ol'
the publishing ol' the paper thc
identity ot' the assassin was un
known. Probably it should tic
mentioned thal the paper was an
extra.
Tho paper is tour pages, six
columns wide, the width of a
column being considerably more
than the paper of today. In fact
the page of the New York Herald
ol' the dale of I860 was as wide as
the common eight column paper
today. On the front page is a pic
ture of President Lincoln and
three big heads. The first head
tells of thc assassination of the pre *
dent, the wounding of Secretary
Seward, and the other incidents of
the time familiar to every student
of history. The next big head tells
of thc death of the president and
thc hunting of the assassins. The
third big head tells of the procla
mation of President Davis, lt w ill
bc remembered that Richmond had
been evacuated by the Confeder
ates anti Davis and his cabinet had
reached Danville in safety. Davis
was encouraging his men and
promising to hold Virginia at all
hazards. Ile said that he thought
the fall of Richmond was a bless
ing in disguise. It quotes a procla
mation of President Davis in full.
On thc second page is au editori
al on the assassination and thc sum
ming up of the siturtinn. On thc
third page are medicino advertise
ments. On the last page are three
big heads, the I i rsi telling of thc
surrender of Lee at Appomatox,
and thc movements of Sherman's
army, and thc third telling of the
meeting of the cabinet and the con
sideration of allah's in the. southern
states. This is particularly impor
tant as throwing light on tin;
events which came later.
On the front page is given thc
New Orleans markets. Cotton was
quoted at 42cents per pound, and
Hour al S'.i pm1 barrel, lu another
place isgivcil tin account of a train
overstocked with shad which sold
?it $?>0 per i ?air.
The paper was owned and edit
ed by James Cordon Bennett.
The details of current events along
at that tina? as given by the 1 Ierald
are veiw interesting, lt- will bo
recalled that it was just al this
time that Lincoln was assassinated
and about thc time of tho surren
der of the Contederale armies.
This was before the black period
of reconstruction, before the day
ol' the carpet bagger, thc scalawag,
and the hordes of thieves, robbers,
?md vandals, w h i c h preyed
upon thc prostrate south until she
arose in her might and hu ried them
otV and thc white man resumed his
place at thc head of affairs.

DOG QUESTION
FOR CAMPAIGN
MR.. COVINGTON AGAIN EX
PRESSES VIEWS
Says Thai Governor Ansel Paid
No attention to His Sug
gestions
Mr. Editor: Last week a mad
dog 'oil four children in one fami
ly, in our histor state, Georgia. I
And these little ones are in Atlan
ta, taking thc Pasteur treatment.
Listen again: nine white children
and a colored nurse were bitten
since then in Greenville, S. C. lt
appears to me that something
should be dom? to prevent such fre
quent and awful occurcnces. For
it is plain to any sane mind, if
something is not done with the
dog's they will do something with
the people. 1 cal my wisdom
teeth more than a year ago on the
dog question. When I had to un
dergo a like trouble thai the par
ents of these children are now
passing through. I can't think
aboutit yet, without having to pull
oil' my coat and cool.
dust here pardon me for a per
sonal allusions. When our legis
lature was in session I wrote Gov.
Ansel, a reasonable request that
he rccomend to the legislature to
pass ti dog law, that would be
more protection to thc people. 1
pointed out to him that compul
sory taxation would put a lot of
money in thc treasury that is not
collected under thc present sys
tem. That is to say make the
owners of untaxed dog's dig down
in their pockets and pay thc tax.
or dig on thc roads and pay these
I tines. Such a law would raise
more money or raise more stench.
Hut and keep a butting, thc Gov.
seemed to be so intent on raising
tho tax on our homes and nccesi
lies of life, that he treated my
humble, request io the tune of
sweet indifference. I am not com
plaining, though, just stating a
fact that can bc verified by refer
mg to his last message to the gen
eral assembly.
Dear reader are you willing to
have your taxes raised on your
homes anil thc necessities ot life?
when there is more than a hun
dred thousand worthless untaxed
dog's running over om- state. I
am not, and if you ?ire, don't ?ill
speak at once, dust ?is long as the
Gov. is ?it their back and the leg
islature is on their side they will
continue to generate hydrophobia
and lower there tails ?it half mast.
?md spread trouble an 1 consterna
tion in the land.
A dog that appeared to be mad.
passed in dangerous proximity to
my children, only a I'ew days
situe, and 1 feel that it was fortu
nate that none of them were bit
ten. A vicious dog attacked my
neighbor Mr. .) T Hubbard, hist
week ?md torc bis pants. The dog
was not at home %'just prowling a
round" bc was not mad but Mr.
Hubbard was I ?un sure. There
?ire more dogs in this section than
I have seen in years; ?ind by the
time all the puppies get grown I
will be scared to plough in my
own held, with a razor in my
pocket, ?md a pistol in each boot
leg.
lt bas been said that the pen is
mightier than the sword. 1 don't
think the saying bolds good, when
it comes to exterminating dogs. I
have been using the pen some
without any visible results for thc
better. So 1 feel like putting
down the pen and trying thc
sword, I would have something
then that would bring fetch. I rea
lise the fact that people will get
attached to dogs, I used to like
them myself a plenty, but the
day my little Donelle, left for At
lanta, my love and affection for
them loft also for parts unknown,
and I would not care much if the
Devil wanted the last one of them
and I wiis able to deliver the
goods.
I may be called a crank for thc
position I have taken in this mat
er, but if crank I be, I feel that
I ?im turning for the host intewsifc
of thc country, und if any mocan
lives aro sacrificed on these betw&r
legged cusses their blood will be titi
some one else and not on me.
In conclusion, soon candidatos
will begin to tread thc political
winepress, asking for the supports
of tho people. I hope they
give tho dog question their berti
attention. I want to seo Marlboro
send a solid delegation to Colum
bia, that will be willing to scatfoc
dog hair from Oconec's, heigth to
Winyaw bay. So I can enjoy
rare, and real luxury of smellie^
thc odor of dead dogs, so strottg*
tint it would cut the hair in t-y/
nose,
