of reptiles during the last ten years has
acquired competency. He makes spe-

use in preparations warranted to cure
rheumatism. He gets eighty-fve dollars
an ounce for this oil, and it is worth that
to prepare it.
In the first place he has to capture from
100 to 200 "rattlers" to secure the requisite
number of eggs. Then the eggs must be
boiled night and day, and the oily sub
stance SKINNED from the water every half

small iron kettle which Is sealed with wax,
and which has a pipe connecting with q

Starvation in Texas

RIO GRANDE CITY. Tex. July 25.-
The destitution on both sides of the Rio

where tolerable crop was raised, has
caused many deaths from actual starva-

the prospect is dismal

Death at "A railroad Crossing.

ELMIRA, n. Y, July 27.-An accident
occurred about 8 o'clock this evening
on the Erie railroad crossing, near Ed
ridge Park, in which four persons were
killed and two so seriously injured that
the doctors say they are likely to die at
any moment.
The accident occurred while the Rev.
Wellington White was out driving with
his wife and three children, Hattie Hast
lngs. a daughter Of a neighbor, and Susie
McCarty, a nurse girl.
Approaching the crossing of the rail-
road, a freight train, which had been cut
in two to allow vehicles to drive in the
park, occupied the near track. Mr..
White, believing that everything was
clear, and not being warned by the sig
nal man, drove between the halves of
the freight train upon the other track
just In time to be struck by Erie passen-
ger train No. "a, from the West.
MIR. White, his daughter Lillian. aged
nine, Hattie Hastings, aged nine, and
Susie McCarty, aged nine, were instant
ly killed. Mrs. White and child two
years old each received fractures Of the
skull and have been unconcious since
the accident.

CLEARING tn tho Farmers.

The weekly weather and crop bulle-
tin of the South Carolina weather ser
vice, in cooperation with the United
States Signal Service, for the past week
was issued Saturday afternoon and it is
as follows, giving much encouragement
to the farmers in the various sections
of the State.
The total rainfall was about the nor
NAL and we'll distributed, and was bene-
tlcial to the growing crops, particularly
in those sections where the drouth had
prevailed for some time. Temperature
and sunshine have been about an aver,
age amount and have been of material
benefit to crops.
From one end of the State to the
other comes the cheering news that
there has baen marked Improvement
OF the condition of the )tton crop over
thaI OF the previous week. The dry ant
cool weather had somewhat checked
not only the growth OF the plant, but
mad prevented it from taking on fruit
by the recent showers the plant has re-
covered its lost condition and a decidet
Improvement is noticed. Most of tn,
crop is clean and was just in condition
TO be benefited by the rains. The great
est drawback to the crop is the inferio
stands which will necessarily reduc
the yield.
The corn has suffered less than cottor
from the effects of the drouth. The croI
on bottom lands was never better, bll
is young. An average crop may be ex
pected and the yield will be much large
than last years.
The rice crop while in fair condition
has suffered III some sections from
drouth, but as rain have fallen in thos
sections Wnere most needed, the pros
poets are much brighter than they were
at the last report.
