could be so instantly effective in
a creature of such sluggish cir
culation.
There can be no mistake about;
it; he meant to kill himself, and
he did, too. Of the last 1 have the
most satisfactory proof, for as I.
picked him up and examined him
carefully from one end to the other
there was not a mark (save the
bite) or a bruise on him. The
light strokes that he had received
from the whip were not enough to
hurt him, still less to kill him, yet
he was dead, for I put him in my
saddlebags and carried him to
camp, and then skinned him, and
I am sure he could not play pos
sum through all that.

An old-time Jeffersonian-
Democrat, who has retired from
politics altogether, says that he
wants the campaign meetings
closed in all the counties except
Edgefeld, and that the State ex-
ecutive committee ought to cancel
all the present appointments, so as
to arrange for holding a meeting
in every township of Edgefeld
County. Then let the Reform
voters of that county hold a;
primary, and which ever candidate
gets the majority let the people of
the State acquiesce in the result.
It would save lots of trouble and
shun a great deal Of profanity, ex-
cept in Edge6eld.-Greenville

CORRESPONDENCE
For the ADVERTISER.
Happy Day at Parksville-The
Closing Exercises of the High
SchOOl-Dr. Kilpatrick's
Sermon and Gov. Shep-
pard's Address.

Mr.. EDITOR: We have just
closed prosperous session of oul
school, The commencement came
off last Monday and Monday
night. The sermon was preached
to large audience on Sunday by
W. H. Fitzpatrick, D. D., of Geor.
gia. His subject was "Lear1l of
me-" words of the great teacher,
Jesus. This sermon was very fine
indeed, practical, clear, deep, and
impressive a great feaet to the
soul and a stlmulant to the intel
lect.
The exerciees opened Monday at
9 A. M, and at 1870 the literary
address was delivered by Gov. J. C.
Sheppard. He made an excellent
speech, it was deep, broad, clear,
and practical. It was we'll received
and very highly complimented by
all who heard it. We were fortu-
nate in gettiug the Governor for
this service, for we needed the
stimulant which his speech was
calculated to give.
The exercises in the afternoon
and at night were exceedingly in
teresting. The writer thinks that
he has never seen them excelled
anywhere. The hall was densely
packed at night in spite of the fact
that there was au admission fee
charged at the door.
We have secured the same teach
er, Miss Willie Hudson, for an
other year, with Miss Emnie Kill
patrick, who has just graduated at
Lagrange, Ga, as music teacher,
Miss Birdie Respess declining to
return.
We propose to open the next ses-
sion, a graded school, in Septem-.
ber.
Respectfully,

over to one of the wagons, and got
from the driver his long four-in-
hand whip, and with this I returned
to the snake. I for { him about
where I had left him, and when
he saw me be tried to run away.
They are sluggish creatures,
however, and cannot 60 very fast.
I had a fancy to tease him
little, and I swung the whip 80
that the end of the lash in falling
would tap him gentl yon the nose.
AS soon as he felt it, he snapped
back like a watchspring into a coil
sounded his war note, and turned
his head quickly from side to side
to discover his enemy, his forked
tongue darting necessarily from
his mouth.
I was some twenty or thirty feet
away, keeping perfectly quiet, and
he did not appear to notice me at
all. 1 fancy their range of vision
must be very ehort. After a few
minutes he lowered his ugly head
to the ground and prepared 70 glide
away in another direction. I let
him get fairly started, then I tap
ped him as before, and again he
coiled to strike.
This was repeated a number of
times. The snake always started
away in new direction, only to
meet that uncomfortable and ex-
asperating little tap. After each
stroke he would prepare to fight
and would look in vain for his
assailant; and with each encoun-
ter his anger seemed to increase.
At last, having tried unsuccess-
fully every avenue of escape he
became beside himself with rage.
His rattle buzzed necessarily. He
raised his head nearly half his
length above the ground and
swayed from side to side. His eyes
glittered like jewels, aud his forked
tongue flashed from his mouth like
miniature lightning. His head be-
came broad and fiat, and his whole
body seemed to swell with venom.
Suddenly, in an access OF fury,
he turned his head, and with the
full force o. a swinging blow of his
neck, like the down stroke of a
sabre, be drove his fangs into his
own body. He kept his hold and
did not withdraw his fangs. His
body writhed and twisted for an
instant, and his muscles contracted
violently once or twice. Then his
head sank down the fire faded
from his eyes his coils relaxed,
and be was dead.
I was astonished. I did not think
lit was possible that the poison

SENATOR BUTLER.

It was nearly z O'CLOCK Wnen tne
turn of the Senatorial candidates
came. 1t was Senator Butler's
time to speak first. He was greeted
with a fairly general round OF
hand-clapping. After speaking OF
tie beauty and fertility of
Marlboro County, be predicted
that times were going to improve.
After some other general talk The
speaker took up the discussion of
the monetary question. He advo-
Gated free silver, asserted that he
had fought for it with might and
main.-The cause of complaint
which he had against the national
banking SYSTEM, or rather the true
weakness of the national banks,
arose from the power of the banks
to expand or contract their currency
at will.
Turning to another subject Gen
Butler said that Mr. Ellerbe was
right when he (Ellerbe) said that
the public officer who discharged
the auties CT his office with fidelity,
honesty and impartiality had done
everything that could he expected
of him.
About this time it looked like
rain and everything was being
hurried up as much as possible
Gen Butler said he was not going
to speak long. He had been Senator
for eighteen years. His record was
before the people. He had tried
to do his duty. If anything coulc
be found in his official life which
should be criticised it should bt
made public. If Governor Till
man could make any charges
against him be should make them
Up to the present time he hac

ton. But he would speak of them

more thar it liked Tillman. In fac
he expected it liked Tillman the
best of the two. When the Cover
nor had to fund the State debt b.
went straight to Wall street to &C
oomplish it. On the contrary b.
had been receiving threatening
letters from Wall street telling hin
what the would te do to him if h
did not leave off his fight for sill

or eight hundred people to tn
meeting at Rock Hill. He failed t

would say that he had nothin
whatever to do with the presence o
these people there. Some of then

hood to deny it. He then took W
his charge that Evans had voted
against Tillman. They all knew
that one of the first struggles
made by Tillman was for al
agricultural college. Yet his FRIEND
had voted against him.
Evans: "Yes, and I'd do il
again"
Ellerbe; "Yes, boys, he would
do it again." [Cheers
Ellerbe went on: But boys, you
ought to see how be loves the Gov
ernor now. Every week he runs
to the mansion, he rushes in aud
throws his arms about his neck
and says: "Oh, Governor, how I
do love you" [Cheers and laugh
teri He had no charges to make
which he could not prove. He
never did that kind of thing.
Evans was here representing the
new issue in South Carolina poll
tics. Evans's love of Tillman was
death bed repentance. [Cheers
and laughter. He was not such
a friend of Tillman when tho Gov
ernor needed friends. He did not
think the Performers wanted any
death bed business in theirs.
[ [Cheers. He then read a record of
the vote cast by Evans against the
Agricultural College.
He said Evans had talked a
great deal about defending the
Reform" party. He ought to
know something about the busi-
ness, for he Evans) had fought
the Reformers for five years, had
done 80 until Ben Tlllman took
him up and spanked him a while.
Continuing the speaker said that
Evans had talked about his record.
Evans: "You haven't got any"
Ellerbe: "I;d rather have none
than one like yours" Loud cheers
laughter. !"
Gen Ellerbe then consumed the
rest of his time in discussing
finance and in description of his
fight with the banks and railroads.
At one time he created laughter by
getting some figures badly mixed,
but On the whole be made strong
speech from his standpoint. 1t was
a conservative talk, and it took

wholly given over to the occupancy
of prairie dogs, burrowning owls,
and rattlesnakes. I never saw. so
many snakes anywhere except in
the swamps of louisiana during

crawling about in all directions,

socalled Blood Medicines without
the least effect, until being put un- /,

began to improve and is now in as
good health as ever in her life.
