NOVEL WAY To KILL A snare
Ore day last wetn. Tom Elwood, who
is well known III I'll .fiottc, was in town,
and filled mp pretty considerably on the
arden. Ga his way home, a colored
man driving his wagon he discovered IA
moccasin snake by the road side. He
ord red his driver to stop and got out
to Kill the snake Catching his snake
ship with a strong grasp in his right
hand, about aanid,hIpo, the reptile
showed vigorous fight and bit Eiwood
three times on the arm. Becoming IN
cen>ed at such treatment he asserted
with an oath thai he would not be out
done as a biti>t, and attempted to get
the snakes head into his own mouth
with "a view Of s~eturning the C ,%mpliment.
10 his attempt to do 50 the snake again
bit him severely on the cheek, which
only rendered hin more furious. lie
finally succeeded IN getting a death grip
on the snake with his teeth and actua IL
bit off It's head. Strange to say the
snake bites, usually considered pois-
onous, had no appreciable effect upon
Elwood, who now announces that he /,
a rampant anti-prohihitionist, because
he thinks the whisky in hun at the time
probably saved his HE. Ii he will GO
back to first principles we think he viii
find good reason for being on the pro
hlbltlon side, because none but a drunk
Ell man would tackle "A snake after that
style. - ChuriOtte Observer.

Our Schools.

As recently remarked by us there are
many encouraging signs of North Caro-
lima growing greatness and prosperity !:
and chief among them Is the growth and
expansion Of our Schools. The old say
ing,-'IHe ~schOointISter . dbrOdd
will no longer hold good for o o we
shall have a plenty of s~choolmasters at
home Indeed, already may be seen a
~perceptible increase IN our home schools,
and a falling of in the number OF youths
sent North for schooling. We venture
to say that there are fewer Carolina
bows at Yankee schools and colleges to
day than at any time IN fity years past
except fur or five years immediately
succeeding the surrender. Everybody
knows how blindly jackasSlcal u PEG
pie we're in this respect before the war.
We with our own eyes have seen some
$50 or 800 Southern students paradlug III
the single city of Philadelphia about the
time Fort Sumpter felt, and for week.
afterwards every train for Richmond
was ladened with returning Southern
boys. And for every boy there was a
CIR, contributing TO slur u " schools,
and enrich those of our sectional foe.
Thank God the day has come when
the diploma Of Southern institutions
are sufficiently respectable to be framed
in any gentleman library.
We repeat it l. a gratifying sign OF
progress to see our schools stepping out
Of the Rip Van Winklian rut, and be
ginning TO show some energy: lSt, by
advertising 2nd, by STRENGTHENING their
corps Of teachers; 81, by improving
their school buildings. The State owe
a great deal to Maj. Robert Bingham
for settingth the example III these respects,
particularly in advertising. lie has
been blamed, aud in some cases actually
accused Of char!atanry. This Is often
the fate of enterprlslng men bu when
the enterprise succeeds, the world Is
ready to withdraw its censure.
Mai. Bingham, like Bennett Smedes,
succeeded to an old school, long
established, and long settled into
time honored custom. But the
young man wisely recognised that
the greatest draw back to South
ern progress was this bit OF un-
due conservatism, which has led gener-
alton after generation TO shuttle along
in the shoes of its forefathers simply be-
cause they 7cere the shoes of It's grand
sires although nothing like SO neat,
shapeIy. serviceabie, and suitable as
more Observation-Disclosures.
Bingham saw that if we would keep
our youths at Southern schools, We must
make those schools, as we'll known and
as popular as Yankee institutions.
SO he first got a good corps OF teach
ers and thea began to advertise. He
spent a good deal of money with the
press; he went to all parts of the State
making speeches, he carried his cadets
to the State Fairs and elsewhere, and
in short, he bowed the horn of Bing-
ham school long and loud. Some teach
ers sneered at 1t; many persons doubted
it's good taste.
But see the result He has brought
hundreds Of pupils from all parts of the
South: many of whom afterwards went
to our colleges; thus spreading the fame
of our State. He has built up a young
college, and his receipts run from $40, :
900 to ST., 900 a year.

OLD NIcK's SUMNER CROP. judy
ing from the telegraphic reports, Old
Satan has flung aside his sickle, and is
reaping his harvest with a forty horse
power steam reaper, thresher, and
binder. -Niagra Falls is often called
the Jumping-off Place" Of late it
has been a quite fashionable resort for
fast folks, fools, and teilos-de-se. Last
week an handsome woman, nearly
naked. was dragged out of the whirl
pool below the falls. Next day an
handsome man, utterly naked, was
dragged out. They were recognised as
a couple who had come To town the
previous week. One was Mrs. Sadie
Stewart, wife of a wealthy merchant at
Solver Creek New York. She was
aged 80, the mother of five children,
yet fool enough to drown herself for
love of the man. He was DR.. + II.
Howle, aged 40, father of a large fami.
ly, "a man Of fine physique, and bril-
liant mind, yet fool enough to drown
hiuself for love Of the other fool. The
two had been the subject of scandal for
a long time, and there was trouble in
both families from the day the Doctor
went to Stewards to pay his first profes.
sional call.-The killing Of Gov. Hen
drick's nephew by the Indians in Next
co was a AVA affair. When the coach
was stopped, all the passengers fed he
stopped to shoot !; was captured, mutt
lated, and tortured to death. He wrote
on a scrap Of paper offering 800 TO the
finder, if he would hastento Chihuahua,
and bring troops to the rescue. The
Indians could read and lost no time no
time in putting him beyond rescue.
