Two Miles of Snakee.

"Iwas runing on q road in south
western Pennsyivsnia," said the
old engineer, when 1 killed two
miles Of snakes in three minutes.
1t had been g wet and cold spring,
and the same weather conditions
had extended to about the middle
of May, and it seems that all the
snakes in that part of the country
had started to emigrate, and as
the rails had become warm under
the heat of the reptiles naturally
enough found the glittering steel
smfortable highway, and they
just coupled up, one taking s.hold
of the others tail, and started
down the track. I happened to be
coming along with tho 'jeak-water,'
and we were making 25 miles an
hour when we met the procession.

the varmints first, and he COM

Solicitor Thurmond Commended.

The Edge6eld Correspondent of
The Augusta Chronicle has the
following to say about Solicitor
J. VIM. Thurmond who is candi-
date for reelection:
Mr. Thurmond has but one
opponent. The same man ran
against him four years ago, and
he (Thurmond) beat him in his
own county. Itis safe to say that
Mr. Thurmond's reelection is
assured. He deserves it. He has
made faithful and able solicitor.
He is man of fine legal ability.
AS time rolls on it will be seen
that he will steadily climb the
ladder of tame and will reach the
highest pinacle either in the line
of his profession or as politician.
| AS solicitor of the 5th circuit,
he does his duty ably,
having nothing in view, but his
duty to the state and its people,
while at the same time he is just
and fair. No solicitor ever gave
closer attention to his business
than he does. He is always found
at his post. He has a clear well
balanced mind and easily grasps
the points and law in all cases
that he handles. He not only
shows his legal ability as solicitor,
prosecuting criminals, but Oh the
civil side of the court he ia equally
at home and has been employed
in the most important cases on
the civil side of the court. He is
a great worker and wien he has a
legal point to solve, he Will work
at it persistently for days and
weeks and when he comes
to a conclusion, it is safe to rely
upon his judgment. He is
generous and has a kind and for
bearing nature. The law firm of
Thurmond & Calhoun, at Edge
field, of which Solicitor Thurmond
is senior member, handles p
large civil business in Edgefeld
and Saluda county. Their practice
Is rapidly increasing. Mr. Thur
mond is one of the men in South
Carolina that will in the future
help to shape her history. Mark
that down and remember it, and
watch for the Thurmond star.

T it is possible. to reach an accord

if it is'possibles to reach an accord
between the powers as to the pre-.
else objects of the next military
expedition, treating perhaps only
of the immediate objects of reliev-
ing the ministers and other foreig-
ners who are in danger, and leav-
ing other great questions as to the
future of China to be dealt with
hereafter, it is probable that the
United States will cheerfully ad-
here. This government has not
yet regarded the developments as
demanding the assembling of
congress in extraordinary session
to declare war, and it is possible
that the dispatch of more reinforce
ments to China from Manila and
the United States may not require
congressional action, as long as
the object is strictly to succor
American citizens in distress and
danger.

The Latest Laureate.

For thousands of years men have
heen making brick out of clay,
and pretty good brick, too. But
recently new kind has come into
vogue. 1t is composed chiefly OF
quartz sand ,Ibound together with
small amount of lime. In the
process of manufacture the COM
pound is subjected to the influence
of steam at high pressure. When
properly made this brick is said to
be hard, waterproof and able to
resist the action of acids. A lack
of uniformity in the quality has
been noticed, however. Lines
tone brick" which are made in
cold. vet weather seem to give less
satisfaction than those produced
under other meteorological COL :
dltions.
But there is now promise that
this difficulty will soon be obviat-
ed. A consular report from
Germany announces that a Zurich
chemist, Wilhelm Schwartz, has
found a way to get good results
every time. The secret lies in con-
trolling the amount of moisture
admitted to the compound and in
maintainingthe temperoture with
in certain certain Ii mits for time.
TIE former part of the process is
managed in a vacuum, so that no
dampness can be impaired by the
atmosphere. Herr Schwartz has
invented machine of his own to
do the mixing. Much confidence
is expressed in the substantial
value of the innovation reported
New York Times.

Mother

We know that in thousands of cases
It has proved more than blessing to
expectant mothers. 1t overcomes morn

tightness. Headaches cease, and dan
ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising
Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is
shortened and shorn of most of the pain.
We know that many doctors recon-
mend it, and we know that Iaultitudes
of women go to the drug stores and buy
1t because they are sure their physicians
have no objections. We ask trial
just fair test. There is no possible
chance of injury being the result. be-
cause Mothers Friend is scientific

the period Of CESSATION. although great
relief is experienced if ussd only short
time before childbirth. Send for our IL
