1t Came Near Being Fatal.

Mr.. Erskire Youngblood, son of
Mr. T. S. Youngblood, ofSteele Creek
township was bitten by 81 copper
head snake last Tuesday and came
very near dying from the effects of
the bite. The young man was she'll
ing corn in the crib, and while in the
act of reaching down for an ear, ne
was struck on the little finger of his
left hand by a copperhead snake.
The snake pulled out a piece of flesh.
Mr.. Youngblood hurried to the house
but was almost delirious when he got
there. His arm swelled up rapidly
and turned black, and the swelling
extended to his shoulders, around his
neck and down his back. In the
meantime, his father had mounted a
horse and put out in search of whis-
key, while a messenger was sent for a
doctor. The father went to a dozen
houses before he found one where he
could get a drop of whiskey. He Sc
cured pint and hurried home. DR..
Knox had arrived in meantime and
was resorting to the usual remedies.
1t appeared for time tina t the young
man was bound to die, but the effects
of the poison we're finally conteract
ed, and he is now improving.-Char

A clergyman writes to the Moscow
Gazette from a village in the prov
incc of Kazan as follows: 'Those
who i've i've in towns can hardly
form an idea Of all the terrors of
the prevailing distress among the
rural population. We residents in
the country have opportunities Of
seeing it at close quarters in all its
terrible power. 1t is sad to watch
the sight presented by an ordinary
sick person, but it is far more un-
bearable to look on at hugry, fam
ine-stricken, and starving people. In
my parish there are individuals who
have gone without bread for two or
three weeks together, and are en-
deayoring to nourish themselves
upon grass and leaves of trees.
When they get hold of morsel of
black bread they do not eat it them
selves, but give it to their small
children" In passing through one
village this priest found sixteen per-
sons in the last stages of enfeeble-
ment and exhaustion from hunger.
One woman of this number soon
after succumbed to starvation. This
village numbered 145 houses, and in
only twenty were the peasants eating
their usual food. The distress seems
to be as great in other villages OF
the same district. From other re.
ports which are to hand it appears
that there is much excitement among
the peasantry at the prospect before

The Suicide of the Young Charlotte

A Charleston special in the Consti-

Notwithstanding certain confessions
she made to him in letter received

A General Creed for Presbyteriams


The committee on creed for use
in all Presbyterian denominations
has been holding summer meetings
at Spring Lake Beach, N. J. Twen-
ty-two million PresbyteriaLs, men,
bers of the eighty-one communions
on the five continents, are interested
in the results. Thisis the fourth ses-
sion of the committee. The idea is
to get up short, concise creed to
express the consensus of opinion in
eighty one Presbyterian bodies that
will supplement, not supplant. the
special creed of each. Some Pres
byterians subcribe to the westminster
confession, others to the Heidelberg
confession, still others to the Augs
berg confession. All are Calvinistic
and all maintain form of govern
ment designated as Presbyterian.

Mrs. Mckee Wants AlimOny.

Mrs. Ora Buice Mckee, who was
defendant in the famous murder tri-
al which resulted in her acquittal of
the murder of her friend, Mrs. Win
pie, has begun suit in the court at
Rome, Ga, for almony. Since her
trial Mrs. Mckee has succeeded
pretty well in keeping out of the
newspapers. One story that went
the rounds was to the effect that
Mrs. Mckee was to star in play
built upon that trial. This was in
dignantly denied, however. The
story now goes that Immediately af-
ter the famous trial Mr.. Mckee par
ted from his wife, telling her he
would never live with her again. He
has stayed in Alabama since then.
Mrs. Mckee does not sue for divorce,
but she asks that her husband be
compelled to support her.

To Keep the Pirates Out.

The NC. oyster commissioners have
done very sensible thing in purchas-
ing Il swift steam yacht, which has a
speed of sixteen knots an hour, and
this is the oyster patrol boat-a de-
cided improvement on the old boat
used last spring. which of course was
a makeshift. The new boat cost a
few years ago, at Philadelphia, $27,-
900, and was a private yacht. 1t
was purchased by Commissioner Lu-
cas- for 81, 500, and is completely fit
ted up. 1t was expected that the
patrol work would begin October 1,
but it may begin earlier. The yacht
will be equipped for business.

Precedent Justilies 1t.

Here is something perhaps few peo-
pie know or observe. The Henderson
Gold Leaf says:
Dealers in cigars will do well to
closely study the law enacted by the
last congress in regard to the sale ol
cigars: Section 1902 of the revised
statues says that .cigars must be
sold to the customer direct from the
properly stamped box" A dealer
who takes out a handful of cigars
aud lays them before the buyer to
choose from, or a saloon-keeper who
brings customer a cigar on plate
or gloss, makes himself liable to q
fine of 500.

troyed in that Republic by an earth

escaped the awful effects of the con-
vulsion. At five minutes before two

their night clothing. While the shock
lasted only twenty seconds before it
passed away, the panic stricken were

Pensacola Said to Be Umseaworthy.
When the report was published

steamer Pensacola was unseaworthy,
Mr.. W. 81. Belden, of ST. Louis, Mo-, :,

ship on that vessel. wrote him, ask
ing for information on the subject.
The reply received was as follows:
'You may say that if the ship
was not fit to go to sea the officers
would not let her co. But you are
mistaken. The officers know she is
not seaworthy, but they cannot help
themselves. The situation is this
way: She came here to GO out of
commission after being only two
years out of the Norfolk navy-yard.
The same contractor is here now
that was at Norfolk then, and he
would not condemn his own work
after so short a time. The ship is
safe enough in fair weather, but if
she ever gets heavy blow l would
rather be out of her. When she
rolls the spar deck goes from one
side to the other and all the seams
