IN BED WITH A BLACK SNAKE
We are indebted to a resident of
this city for the following, the truth
fulness of which he will vouch for. A
few days ago the people of Riverton,
Va, a station on thu S. V. R. r.,
were aroused by hugh black snake
entering the residence of Mr.. VIM.
McCauley. The room occupied as a
bed room was entered about seven
O'Clock in the morning. Mr.. McCau-
ley having gone to work, the door
was left open. Mrs. McCauley was
confined to her bed by sickness. The
snake crawled into the bed and then
over Mrs. McCauley and nestled down
beside her. Being very much pros
trated by her illness, she was unable
to speak. The colored woman stand
ing near by, ran for help. The first
person she CHANGED to meet was Mr..
Thos. J. Poston, of that place. Being
asked if he was afraid OF black snakes,
he answered in the negative. On his
way to the house, he picked up small
stick, about a foot long. Entering the
room he gave the snake blow on the
head which stunned it. He then pick
ed it up and carried it out and killed
it. The snake measured six feet and
was as thick as a mans arm.--Hagers-

NOT IN THE "BooK TRUsT."-
The statement has been widely circu-

ed it might be true, that John B.
Alden, Publisher, of New York,

monopolize the publication of stand

% to 100 per cent. Mr.. Alden sends
us word that he has not Joined the
Trust, and there is not and never has
been any probability of his joining it.

has accomplished such wonderful re-
suits within the past ten years, in
popularizing literature of the highest

increasing prices, large reduction in
prices has recently been made, partic.
ularly on copyright books by Ameri.
can authors. A catalogue of 96 pages
is sent free to any applicant. One OF
the latest issues from his press is

through years of African exploration
the revolt of the Mahdi, the siege Of
Khartoum, with the death of Gordon
the return of DR.. Junker, besides the

A COMMON SENSE VIEW.

Every man of common sense knows
that when tho balance OF trade is against
the United States the Nation is growing
poorer; and that when the balance OF
trade is in our favor the Nation grows
richer; and history shows that when
the tariff on foreign products has been
materially reduced the industries in
making corresponding products here
have languished; that when the repeal
OF inimical laws has been long delayed,
disaster has ensued, and in some in.
stances the effected industries have been
abandoned altogether.
In view OF this fact it is important that
voters should not lose sight OF these re-
suits Of protection, without which d.
versity OF industries would be impossi.
BILE, except through reduction OF wages
to the level OF other countries. ~
Among the benefits resulting from
protection is the largely increased de-
mand for labor, by which it is possible
for every man to obtain employment OF
some kind II no really wants it. This
comes from diversity Of industry afford
ed. We have now about sixty.six mill
lions Of people in the United States.
about one.6lth OF them being heads Of
families. All these cannot be farmers
and earn the necessities OF life. They
wonld raise enough to eat and large
surplus, but there is not in all the
world a sufficient demand Tor farm pro.
ducts TO pay for their other household
necessities, such as clothing, furniture,
cooking utensils; also sugar, coffee and
tea, which have become absolute neces-
stiles, but cannot be produced In this
country. Outside Of farming there is no
employment at which q majority Of
those who are compelled to work Tor a
living could engage and earn enough to
keep themselves and families from
want. Hence it is that Investigation
Of industries, which can be secured only
through the policy OF protection, is a
necessity to individual comfort and
