tory results, and school at The Needles
would accomplish equally satisfactory
results there. The Government GER
tainiy owes something to this commun-
ity of Mojaves, who have had the enter
prise, so rare amongst Indians, to strike
out for themselves and make their own
living. 1t is TO their credit that they
have done so. Had they ioafed around
the reservation and drawn their support
from the Government, perhaps they
would have been held III higher esteem
by the Indian authorities.

which reached here today is disbe-

come from Blacksburg, the head
quarters of the road, and while there
had seen AIr. Albin, the solicitor, and
Mr.. Bently, the vice-president, and
that neither of them had mentioned
the subject. The road had Just re.
ceived about twenty car loads OF
rails, fish plate, etc.,t be used IN It's
completion from Rutherfordton to
Marion, n. c., and large force Of
hands is now at work near Union
and Hickory Grove, n. c., and an
other at Newbelry, S. c. The gen
eral impression here IS that the story
of the roads mismanagement and le-
Gal complications is q blutf.-Spe-

A Snake OF aTcestlc.

HOLLAND, Tex, June lS.-Bud
Brown, who resides short distance
north of this place, had an exciting
experience few evenings ago with a
huge serpent. Bud, it appears, was
on his way home along the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas track, from this
burg, and he had just reached a point
about one and a half miles north OF
Holland, when ne heard queer bel
lowing sound, similar to that made
by alligators in the dead Of night.
He looked behind him and sure
enough, saw q sight that for the
time being rooted him to the earth.
About 100 yards In therear he could
plainly discern a snake Of MOIST Gus
size. The reptile approached him at
a rapid rate, coming so close to him,
in fact. that Bud, with q shrek OF
terror, jumped from q high trestle,
landing in soft sand below, escaping
fortunately, with only a sprained an
kle. Luckily for Bud, some cattle We're
grazing along the track, which the
big snake at once attacked, making
away in a iifiy with a calf and disap-
pearing in the timber.
Bud, who is worthy citizen and
temperate :withal, estimates the
length Of the snake at 42 feet, with q
body as thick as O telephone pole.
He also AYERS that the monster was
adorned with two formidable frangs,
and, in addition, was equipped with
horns about foot and half III
length.

NOT A FAIR COUNT.
The People Of Charleston Are Not Satisfied

The People Of Charleston Are Not Satisfied
With the Census Work.
CHARLESTON, S. c., June l0.-Ihefe
is widespread discomfort here about
the result of the census enumeration,
and there is good reason for believ-
ing that the work has been loosely
done. Several OF the enumerators
gave up their work, and therefore
the time VIII be extended at least un-
I'll tomorrow. The white enImera-
tors seem to have done their work
pretty thoroughly. The negro Gnu
merators, on the other hand. seem to
have done il very loosely. 1t is said
that hundreds of families have not
been counted. There are thirty dis
tricts in the city, each of which was
calculated to show over 1000 popu!a-
ton. Some of these fall from 500 to
600 behind, and it is claimed that
this is caused by the negligence OF
the enumerators. Numbers of cases
have been reported where the emu
merato has refused to count the
members of a household who had
been sent to q summer resort IN an
other State after June 1st. a num-
Der of other cases are reported III
which the enumeration has never even
halted at the house. The last city
census, two years ago, gave apopu!a-
ton of 6S,OO0. It is thought that the
present census Will show q total OF
not over $4,000. It is also said that
the increase in the colored popula-
ton is considerably more than that
in the whites.
