The following letter to the Birmingham

is not farmer In the south who will not be
benefited by reading it, and who cannot, if
necessary, achieve the same success.
Every one you may meet. with few
exceptions, have something to say about
hard times, tight money. ETC., and if you

would be about as gloomy as the most Of
the people appear TO be. l have a short
faithful story to tel in your paper. and
hope 1t may aid the wise men in our stats
to arrive at the cause and the remedy for
hard times among the farmers.

horse, a fair set of farming implements,

last week in January, and the time had
come for us to pitch our crops' for the
year. I had q small quantity of corn about
enough, with economy, to feed my stock and
give my family meal for four or five months.

soc what could do. We went to town. 1t
wasn't long before my neighbor had secured
his credit with a note and mortgage, which
he was to trade out during the year.
81 tried to do the same, but it was no go.
The merchants did not know me and l
couldn't make the security they demanded.

The Senate Kills It-A License Sub

COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 1S.-The Childs'
prohibition bill. which passed the House and
is now on the Senate calendar with an I'M
favorable committee report attached, is
dead. There was a caucus of senators last
night to determine what should be done
with 1t. 1t was decided to kill it. When
the Senate met this morning a substitute
was introduced, which provides that before
any license shall be issued petition for the
issuance Of the license to any party must
be signed by 40 per cent. of the freeholders
OF the municipality wherein the busi-
ness is to be conducted; that the
license fee shall not be less than
$500 and that so per cent of this sum must
60 TO the county and the heremainder to the
municipality. The provisions of this bill
are not to apply to places where the sale ol
liquor is now prohibited. The debate or
the measure was adjourned till tomorrow
1t is believed that the Senate will pass thi!
substitute, but 1t is generally predicted
that the House will not agree to suct
compromise. At all events it is safe
to predict that DO prohibition bill will bc
passed by this Legislature, whose term o.
existence will cease next Wednesday night

On Seeing Monster Snake Chewing
His overall.
From the Richmond Times.
Yesterday evening DIR. Wendlinger came
In town from up the Richmond and Ale
ghany railroad with dead snake that was
a regular monster. It was fifteen feet long
and as large in proportion, and was evi-
dently an anaconda which had probably
escaped from some of the many travelling
10-cent shows which have lately frequented
this part of the world. His snakeshlp was
left at the cafe Of Gus E. Delaware, where
a number of people gaEed in silent awe
upon the deceased gigantic reptile.
1t was killed at LeFraiae, on the Rich
mond and Allegheny reilroa d, about six
miles from Richmond by Mr.. Lane, section
foreman on the road. lt is stated that it
crawled out Of the woods and silently ap-
preached from behind a colored boy who
was working near the track. II seized the
oveTalls which the colored boy had on and
began chewing on them. Some one called
to the colored boy 70 lock behind him, and
as he did so he saw the snake and fell over
paralyzed with fear. Mr.. Lane then
seized an az and killed the monster.
Whether the reptile intended to secure a
hrmer hold on the boys clothing and then
throw him, ana after crushing him to q
Jelly eatisg him, or whether it was a tame
snake that approached the boy only with
friendly intent viii never be known. An
engineer says he saw the monster about
two years ago and reported the fact. but
since then nothing was heard of it until
yesterday.
