Tucker Indignation.

The miserable whisky peddlers
are stirring the righteous indig-
nation Of the good people of Tuck
err county, We clip the following
from communication in the
Tucker Democrat,over the signature
of "Citizen :"
"The time has come when the
question should be decided wheth-
er law or whisky shall govern this
community, and all law-abiding,
llberty-loving, honest and peacea-
BILE citizens should fly to the back
of the Mayor and help crush this
poisonous reptile and eradicate it
from our town. There can be
$500 easily raised in one day to
carry on the prosecutions of Grim
mails who deal out whisky IN open
violation of law, and if necessary
$1,000 can be raised. If the sale Of
liquor is not stopped here the par
ties selling it should be handled as
roughly as the law will permit, for
they show no mercy to their vic
TINS"

Moving the Legislature.

A W. G. T. U. delegation recent
ly had occasion to visit the Ten

after listening to the arguments
presented, was so moved by them
that collection box was passed
round, and some 5000 raised for the
Union on the spot. When you
touch mans home you touch his

PROTEST..


With deep sense of the, grave response
bility resting upon this hour, and with a
conviction of duty SO Overmasterng that it
will not permit us to be silent, we solemnly,
and in the presence of Him whose name we
bear, PROTEST az ainst the action of this Con-
vention in committing this Christian organ
ization to the aid and support of a political
party
/. This action is wrong in principle. A
moral reform association, having as its test
of membership a total-abstinence pledge,
ought not TO ally itself with any organiZa-
ton, political or otherwise, h aving no such
test of membership
II. 1t is specific abandonment of that
spirit of liberation and OF Christien courtesy
which has permitted harmony of action
with wide diversity of opinion. 1t estab-
fishes new test of allegiance, and is a prac-
tical refusal on the part OF the majority, in
the interests of a political party, to recognize
that equality of rights which is the sure bas-
is of permanent organized effort.

III. III contravention OF this equality of
rights, while processing to leave individuals

an entirety, including that of the opponents
of this policy, in the UNFOLDING and advance
ment of political party to which some of
our members, as individuals, refuse allie

COMMISSIONER BUTLERS SNAKE.
1t Makes Things Very Lively for Passengers 4
RAILWAY Car,

Railway Car.
From the Louisville Courier-J ournal.
Commissioner of Agriculture Butler, of
South Carolina secured seven-toot coach
whip snake, which he decided TO take to
Washington and present to the department
of agriculture. The coachwhip being nom
venomous reptile, Mr.. Butler concluded to
carry itin bag, and for this purpose he So
lected two sacks. On the train he met
friends and told them of the remarkable
snake, and his friends naturally expressed
desire to see it. Mr.. Butler, going to his
seat reached down and drew forth the bal,
around which he carefully felt with one
hand until he touched the snakes head,
which he grasped firmly. There were
about twenty-five passengers watching
the proceedings. One negro, more curl,
Gus than his fellow passengers, moved
up to get a better view, Just as Mr.. Butler,
having grasped the snakes head, jerked the
bag away from it, and seven feet of the snake
began colling, squirming and twisting about
the car. The snake coiled its body in all
manner of forms and whipped its tail around
in the manner peculiar to its variety. Yells
were heard at once, and, jumping from their
seats, the thoroughly frightened passengers
went tumbling down the aisle and out of the
car door on to the platform. The negro
whose curiosity led him close to the scene,
lodged, but not in time to escape a cut by
the snakes tail, and with sincere "Oh,
ipru, AulaSSN y nc went out OF the
window feet foremost, catching the window
as he jumped. lie held on until brakeman
came up and drew him back into the car.
The snake in the meantime had cOiled in
numerous folds around the legs of the car
seats, and MIR. Butler being unable to release
his hold upon its head, found 1t impossible
to unwind the snake without help. The
passengers wanted to kill it, but Buffers
friends came to his aid, and af,er time the
snake was unwound and safely replaced.
From the time that this incident occurred till
the train reached Charlotte, Butler, his
friends and tho snake had the second-cass
car to themselves.
