INDIVIDUAL WEAR AND TEAR.
An Octogenarian Accounts the Accidents
 That Have BefaNen uim.

Eleazer Chace is now over eighty years of age. He is a man most highly respected by all who know him. His has been life of accidents. Some of his experiences are as follows, says the Wilmington Qll.) News:
 q was sliding on the crust when a a boy and slid over a fence, running a stake into ne and making bad wound. Once, when my mother was making soap, I saw a dipper of what I thought was water and drank three swallows. It proved to be strong lye. My mother melted some tallow and gave it to me, and the doctors said that was all that saved my life. Four times l came near getting drowned, twice breaking through the ice into the river, once falling from a raft into the mill pond, and once | fell out of a boat into a river. 1 was nearly killed twice by being thrown from horses, fell from loaded team to the frozen ground and was picked up for dead, and fell out of a wagon and had a leg caught between the spoAes of one of the wheels Once l was driving a covered wagon when the StanchiOn bolt came out. letting the body down. The rein hook caught me in the forehead tearing Q great gash, and when 1 fell out I struck my head on the axle Twice I fell out twelve feet from a staging, once fell down trap in a carriage house on a pile of boards below and started a rib. I stepped on a scythe and cut my foot badly. and q cake of ice fell on my foot and burst open one of roy toes. cut my ankle badly with an ax, broke needle in my heel, which was not removed for two months, and stepped on ten penny nail and drove 1t into my foot, making a bad wound, from which pieces of the shoe and stocking were removed, and which had to be cut open and the bone scTaped. l had a wind lass rope break when trusting up barrel, and it broke out two of my teeth. I have been blown up once when blasting stone and badly burned three times. Ny hand was caught in the feed roll of picker. I was badly hurt once with circular saw and again with buzz plaper; fell on an eightCen-inch belt when 1t was run ming, and on top Of a foUr-foot gear when that was running; twice have fallen downstairs in the mill, the first time hurting my back badly, the sec ond time starting three ribs. In the winter of 1S9I-'92 fell over scale and broke two ribs"

New Use for Rubber.

Good results are obtained by using rubber in connection with an anchor rope in equalizing and relieving strain in dredging, and in measuring the depth and SwiftneSs of currents. For merly a severe strain was caused by sudden jerking in a pitching vessel. This is now overcome by what is called a rubber accumulator, which consists of seventy rubber discs or buffers on a middle rod, so arranged that by com pression they act as a spring. The buyers are cylindrical in shape, two and one-quarter inches in thickness, and separated from one another by metal discs one-eighth of an inch thick, and two inches larger in diameter than the rubberS, which on expansion do not overlap the metal surfaces. In this device it is found that q compres- sion can be had of five feet, which is sufficient to distribute the strain along the entire length of the ship. The ap- plication is made by running the rope from reel located aft to the middle Of the foremast, and then passing it through the rubber accumulation to the end of the anchoring boom, which is a spar thirty feet long. From this the rope with a two hundred-pound weight attached is dropped vertically into the sea.

KEPT IN THE FAMILY.
Trades That Are Handed Down from Fa-
 ther to Son.

It is quite possible that the Japan csc teacher of dancing and department who, few weeks ago, celebrated the one thousandth anniversary of the es- tablishment of his business by a re- mote ancestor, may have done so upon authentic grounds. Still, Japanese do- mestic chronology is apt to become little foggy when you get back few hundred years.
 Possibly more authentic are the two cases which follow. The first is that of the family of Aaron, who practiced the duties of the priesthood continu- ously from B. c. 1920 to B. c. 5SS, or for 732 years,
 The second is that of the family of Purkiss, whose ancestor found the body of William Rufus in the New Forest in the year HOO, and who car riGd on the occupation of charcoal burning generation after generation, until the last of the family died, in 1S46.
 This makes seven hundred and forty six years-that is to say. the Purlziss family burnt charcoal for fourteen years longer than the descendants of Aaron performed the duties Of the Jewish priesthood, not counting the time it had done so before the death Of Rj1f1S

A BATTLE wiTF. SHAKES.
Horrors of a Night in Southern Will
 derness.

Fishing and hunting are recognized as Florida's favorite pastir1es. Daily parties leave fer the interior for such sport. Among the many experiences which have been met with recently none excels the horrible ordeal which two men from the north went through few days ago. The two left St. Au- gustine on fishing tour to go about sixty miles from here. All along the stream is a barren wilderness of scrub by undergrowth, powders, rocks and stones. Being tired and sorefooted after their days journey, the men made themselves comfortable on the surface of a moss-grown rock. Aftera hearty meal they both fell asleep. One was shortly afterward awakened by something choking him, and feeling found his strange collar to be cold and slimy. 1t was a very fine specimen of the snake species which was girdling his throttle. The monster was soon dispatched, and the two men were about to lie down again, after ridding themselves of the intruder, when they found themselves literally surrounded by the reptiles. They were going to decamp for a more congenial climate, but, when about to leave the rock, hiss ing and rattling became more audible, and it was but few minutes until it was as loud as ordinary toned voices. The men, finding that they were sur rounded, broke branches from the stubby undergrowth of pines and com menced flashing the writhing sea of darting, hissing snakes. Realizing that they had an al-night job, they secured rocks and larger sticks and be- gan killing the reptiles in earnest. The noise seemed to awaken the whole barren waste into a hissing and rat ting forest.
 Each man began the slaughter with redoubled vigor, vainly trying to fight their way to the stream, some hun dred yards away down a hill. They would gain a few paces of the distance, only to be driven back again to the rock. The rattling and hissing be- came so loud that their voices became scarcely audible unless close together. The hair on both mems heads stood up like bristles. while their arms were OACONA-oCdLl1Lh IC IliC S1OONo. 114C stench from the sralzy battlefield was almost unbearable and sickening in the extreme. Within three hours after the first snake had been killed hun dreds, if not thousands, had met a sim liar fate. Both men were badly bitten and their legs and arms began swell ing rapidly. The hours wore slowly by and the slaughter continued. At last morning came and lifted the cur tain of night from a most appalling scene.
 For fifty feet all around the large rock lay heap of stunned, squirming and dead snakes, and as far as they could see all around the barren waste was a seetling tide of reptiles that came toward the rock with maddening fury. With difficulty they managed to reach the river and soon arrived at a cabin, where medical attendance was given. The hair on both mems heads had turned almost white during the night, and it will be weeks before they can fully recover from the effects of this fearful encounter.

Immediate Action Needed.

Columbia Register.
The railroads must be taught that
they are not supreme in South Caro-.
lima. Through the Intervention of
the United States Courts they have
defed the authority of the State and
set its laws at naught. They must
be brought to a proper sense of their
obligations to the State, even if it
takes an extra session of the Legisla-
ture to do it. An extra session would
cost the people Of the Statesome Il. oley
but they are willing to pay, for the are
fighting for a principle, the princi-
pie of States rights. 1t was just
such a spirit which provoked the cry
in 1912 of millions for defense, but
not one cent for tribute" The peo-
pie are willing to go even to the ex-
tent of revoking the charters of such
roads as fail to to respect it's laws.
There should be no delay in this
matter; the railroads ought to be
brought up with around turn at once,
The railroads have flung down the
gauntlet of defiance to the State and
have nullifed one of it's laws and de-
fed its sovereign power to collect
revenue to run its government. Now
let them beware; this is not an age
in which railroads can boss the peo-
people.

trains chained to the tract in diff
ferent parts Of the State are causing
temporary cessation of traffic and a
corresponding suffering and injury
to co~nsignees Of freight.
10 say the least of it, the State
has a prima facie case, and it is only
a demonstration of partisanship and
prejudice to hold the State, through
her officers, entirely responsible for
the unfortunate condition of affairs.
Our morning contemporary, the
State, in an effort to dismiss this
feature of the cas- from the pending
controversy and relieve the railroads
from any portion of blame, says that
1T is not the wish of the railroads
that their trains are chained to the
tt, cls and prevented from perform
ing their functions, and therefore
they cannot be held responsible"
Far indeed, is it from their wish"
that they should be thus dealt with,
but it is a primary principle of justice
that those who ask equity must do
e~quity-one cannot take advantage
of his own wrong, nor can the plea of
defense be completely established
unless the party, making such claim
can come into court with clean hands
and evidence of not having provoked
the difficulty.
In the matter under consider
alton it is a pertinent question
to ask the railrcai companies if they
come within the scope of these we'll
defined principles.
South Carolina as a sovereign State
has an undisputed right to eract
laws for the levy and collection Of
her taxes and through her officers
has the highest and most solemn
right to enforce the collection of
those taxes as prescribed by her
existing and duly enacted
laws.
The State is acting upon her dis
tinct and sovereign rights and
should not be INSTRUCTED by hostile
opposition which is nothing short of
an invasion of her reserved and
righteous powers.
We therefore deny the proposition
that the federal co,rt hoe
