A Snake Story.

PANA, ILL, June 14.-Supervisor Dick
Berry was driving home in wagon to-
day with his 4-year-old grandson on the
seat with him Arriving at home, MIR.
Berry got out of the wagon, and in few
minutes called to his grandson to get out.
He received no answer Looking up, he
saw the boy sitting rigid on the seat, with
his eyes fixed and distended. He called
again, but the boy gave no evidence OF
hearing him. Becoming alarmed, Mr..
Berry went to the wagon, and was horrl-
fed to find a rattlesnake coiled on the
floor of the wagon, its head waving to
and fro and its glittering eyes fixed on the
boy, who seemed completely under the
snakes control. Mr.. Berry's first thought
was to grab the boy from his seat. Some
thing quicker was necessary, and, acting
on the impulse, he suddenly threw out his
left hand, caught the snake by the throat,
and held it while with his other hand he
took his knife from his pocket, opened it
with his teeth and cut the snakes head
off. Mr.. Berry had the rattles, eight in
number, taken from the snakes tail.
Nineteen rattlesnakes were killed on that
farm Saturday, and ninety-six rattle
snakes have been killed on the DAcy
lands this season.

Complaint has been made to US of the

Complaint has been made to us OF the
leniency of the mayor in releasing with
out fine young Walker, who fired into
Mrs. Anna Grayson's residence last Sat
urday afternoon. They say that he should
not have been allowed to go scot free, and
that If the town authorities ever hope to
break up this intolerable practice OF
shooting around town, the offenders will
have to be severely dealt with, and not let
off with simply lecture. The mayor re-
sides in the same house, and no doubt he
has good reason for his leniency. We
have heard several complaints recently as
to the pistol firing going on in town at
night, and vigorous steps should betaken
to put stop to it. Some weeks ago
little negro boy, about u years old, was
before the mayor charged with cursing on
the streets. He was fined SO, and was
put in prison. until the white people of
the town raised the money and paid the
fine. Complaint was made to us of the
matter at the time, but we did not notice
it, and we only mention it now because
our people are comparing the two cases.
Mayor Inglis is a nice gentleman, and we
would not say anything to wound his
feelings, but We mention these matters In
order that he may know how some OF our
people feel about them We know that
it is impossible to please everybody, but
all law-breakers should be treated exactly
alike, whether white or black, rich or
door.

The Oregon.

Naval officers in Washington do not
hesitate to say that the grounding Of the
magnificent man-of-war Oregon on the
Chinese coast is the legitimate and not
wholly unexpected result of incompetency
on the part of the vessels officers. One
of these, Captain Wilde, has good record,
but being a mere human being, he was
not able to be on duty twenty-four hours
in the day His absence left the ship at
the mercy of set of young men, all
inexperienced, and one, by the records OF
the war department., an habitual drunkard
having been sentenced on two occasions
for this otfense, losing more than 40 points
in his credit record. The young man,
with all his faults, had strong pull
among Mr.. McKinley's trust friends in
the East, and this sufhced to restore him to
a position wherein he had absolute control
of a great war ship and the destinies OF
it's officers and crew.
Naval officers who know the facts, but
are very careful about expressing them,
live in constant state of apprehension
lest the circumstances which led to the
injury of the Oregon should be repeated
almost any day on other American ships.
Favoritism and pulls" have done their
work under Mckinley. They are not
healthy for the navy department.--Na-
tional Democrat.

ImperialiSm and Trusts.

CHICAGO, July Ex-senator j. X. Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee; ]. G. johnson, chairman Of
the executive committee; Charles \.
Walsh, national secretary; D. j. Campau,
national committeeman, Senator White OF
California and j. Hamilton Lewis of
Washington arrived here today from
Lincoln, Nebraska Senator Jones will
remain here to direct the campaign.
The Democrats made free silver the
issue in 1896" declared the Senator, "and
they will make anti-imperialism the issue
in the coming campaign. The Republicans
may try to make other questions para
mount, so as to keep imperialism and
trusts in the background, but we will not
allow them to do So
Will Mr. Bryan make such campaign
as he did four years ago."
MY own idea is that he should not. 1t
is too great a task to demand Of one man
that he should make SO many and such
extensive trips as did Mr.. Bryan four
years ago. He will probably make several
trips, covering important points"
According to Senator Jones, Mr.. Bryan
has under consideration the place in
which to receive the committee next
month that is to notify him of his nomi-
nation. Chicago, indianapolis, Columbus,
O., and New York are the cities whose
claims are said to be the strongest.

The privilege tax of % cents per ton
on fertilizers paid by the fertilizer com
panies to the State goes to support Clem-
son College. Without this tax the col
lege could not live. The fertilizer people
pay this tax willingly, and it is not added
to the price of the fertilizers, for they say
that it is paid by them to support an ex-
perimental agricultural station by the
State, where experiments on growing
crops can be made with their fertilizer.
IF the State did not do this the companies
say they would be forced to do it, in Or
der to establish the value of their fertl-
hzer. The legislature has heretofore at
tempted to do away with or reduce to
practically nothing this privilege tax,
which would have the effect of shutting
up Clemson College. This being the
case, our people should be on their guard
in reference to the matter, sending men
to the legislature who will vote to keep
the privilege tax at IS cents, thereby In
suring the maintenance of Clemson.

Can Swallow Her Own Tongue.

Miss Agnes O'Keefe, the twelve-year-old
daughter of John O'Kt :fe, of Thorndyke,
Mass, astonishes the esidents of the
village by performing the uncommon
feat of swallowing her tongue, so that
when she opens her mouth for inspection
there is nothing of it seen in her mouth
A week ago was the first time the girl
found herself able to perform the feat,
and the discovery happened in peculiar
way. She was in the act Of turning her
tongue backward toward the roof of her
mouth, when suddenly it slipped down her
throat half way, and the occurrence
greatly frightened her. With difficulty
she got it back into normal position.
Since then she has practiced it, and now
can perform the feat with ease.

THEIR MARRIAGE ANNULLED.
An Unusual Case Decided In the Spar
tapbury Court.

Sp,RTASBuRG July 9.-An interesting
case was heard here before Judge Aid
rich today. 4 marriage solemnized be-
tween Miss Fannie v Littlejohn and the
Rev. Stephen A. Nettles, of the South
Carolina conference, on June 20, 1879,
was declared to be void and never to have
been of binding force. The action was
brought by Miss Littlejohn, who alleged
that at the time of such marriage her mind
was so much impaired by reason OF a
serious physical ailment that she was
incapable of understanding or of carrying
out the marriage contract.
Almost Immediately after the marriage
she was placed under the treatment OF a
specialist in surgery and diseases peculiar
to women, and as result of her treatment
her mind has been restored, and she alleges
that since regaining possession OF her
faculties she does not wish to ratlfy or
consummate the marriage.
The testimony was IN accordance WIFI
the allegations, and while Miss LittleJohn
testified that Mr.. Nettles' treatment was
very kind, she stated that she would not
assume the duties and relationship OF a
wife. Under this state of facts, Judge
Aldrich held that the alleged contract was
in fact no contract and so adjudged.
Messrs. Duncan & Sanders represented
the plaintiff, and Mr. R. o. Purdy, of Sum-
ter, represented the defendant.

In the lazy days of midsummer when
bodily and mental energy are at their
lowest ebb, the chief demand is to be enter

their very naturalness. Eliot Gregory S

in the August number OF The Dellneator,
is full of life and brightness, and dull
must be the imagination that cannot
accompany him over the suplit space OF
the Exposition grounds and see with him

the century; the strange people vi lo have

Uses Of the Screech Owl.

Judge H. c. Sheffield has undoubtedly
made an important discovery regarding
the much dreaded owl. For some time
past the Judge has been annoyed by
frequent visits from one or more of these
nocturnal birds and has spent some time
in an endeavor to rid his premises of such
upwelcome visitors; but up to date had
failed to accomplish his design. Before the
advent of the owl English sparrows fairly
swarmed ih and about the trees in the
Judges yard, but since Mr.. Owl took up
quarters there very few sparrows are to
be seen. Therefore, the little screech owl,
so despised as the harbinger of evil, has
demonstrated its usefulness and hereafter
deserves consideration for being friend
to any community.

Bad State of Cotton Crop.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The monthly
report of the statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture shows the average
condition of cotton on July to have
been 75s, as compared with s7.s on July
l, 1899.
The condition of the principal States
reported is as follows: North Carolina
80, South Carolina 70, Georgia "A, Florida
-, Alabama 20, Mississippi 81, Louisiana
81, Arkansas g, Texas g, Tennessee rs,
Oklahoma 50, Indian Territory 96.
With the exception of North Carolina
and Indian Territory the condition
throughout the entire cotton belt COM
pares unfavorably with the ten year aver
age. ,
Not only was the condition on July l
for the cotton region as whole the lowest
July condition on record, but in Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi it was
the lowest in thirty-four years, while in
Tennessee it was the lowest with one ex-
ception, and in South Carolina, Texas,
and Arkansas the lowest with two excep-
tions in the same period of thirty-four
years.
In South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
and Texas considerable areas will have to
be abandoned.
