miles from here, returning one after
noon last week from his work in the

ping the snake around his neck and

yanWyck, OF South Carolina.


Ia the Editor of the state:
In your issue of the -lth inst, you
state that Augustus Maverick, the
u~"lc of the Mayor Of New y orS
anu the son of Mr.. Sam Maverick, Of
Pcndleton, was engaged in the war be-
tween the Texas republic and Mexico,
and was at one time made prisoner by
the MeXicans. In this connection the
following incident, showing how on
this occasion the life of Maverick was
saved by South Caroinian may be Of
interest to your readers:
The Texas prisoners were required
to draw lots, and every 10th man was
to be shot. Maverick was one Of the
unfortunates, and he was to be exc
cuted in the public plaza with those,
who like himself, had drawn the death
lots. Early in the morning of the day
upon which the execution was to take
place, Gen. Waddy Thompson, Of
South Carolina, then minister to Mex
leo. learned of Mavericks impending
fate. He went at once to the palace
and asked to see the president, Santa
Anna. The guards refused him ad-
mission for the reason that at that
early hour the president was still in
bed and could not be seen. Gen.
Thompson, disregarding the orders Of
the guards, made his way to Santa An
ma S bedchamber and secured the par
don Of young Maverick, who after
wards returned to Texas and became
the greatest cattle owner in America.

Raising Horses Mt Home.

We'havc spent the income of many
cotton crops buying thousands of fine
horses and working horses from breed
ers in other States, which we could
have bred as well, to the great profit
and advantage Of our farmers. 1t is
encouraging to note that we have be-
gun in earnest to breed such animals
for ourselves, and it is particularly en-
eouraging to note that the beginning
is of so promising q character. If we
can raise fine horses for racing pur-
poses, we can raise all other kinds, and
mules as well. The State has proved
within the past two or three years that
it is practically independent Of the
rest of the country for its supply of
hogs and hog products. A very few
years more, we may confidently y hope,
will bring us to the point where We
can issue our declaration of independ-
ence in the matter of horses also.-

- Major J. Hoge Tyler, the silver
Democratic nominee for Governor of Vir-
ginia, added much to the humor of the
cam paign. The other day he said: "This
is the dryest ticket that the people of Vir-
pinia was ever asked to vote for. Jack
Montague never drinks anything but
Dan River mud. ED. Echols doesn't
know the difference between wine and
pokeberry juice. AS for myself,I never
drink anything stronger than unspiked
buttermilk.' He declared that much of
the land in Virginia is so poor that "we
will have to fertilize our graves in order
to insure a resurrection" He further
seid that the ticket Of which he was the
head was entitled to support "hecause it
was made up Of a black-headed man, a
a red-headed man and bald headed man

The Atlanta Constitution has fig
ured up list Of accidents so classi-
fed as to show their causes. Out OF
four thousand cases noted, only forty
three were due to railroads, while 69l
were caused by falling on the pave
ments and 143 from. falling down
stairs. Bicycles were responsible for
Alb accidents, and the use of carriages
and wagons for 421 more. The whirr-
ing of machinery, which appears so
dangerous, contributed only 1O7 cases
of accident. The fact that the larger
number of mishaps have occurred at
times when people did not feel them
selves in danger, suggests the wisdom
Of the constant prayer for protection,
not only when we feel ourselves in
peril, but at all times-day by day.
