SECRETARY OF STATE.
Smyrna times., 1901-08-28

IT is very evident that the Demo-
cratic party is going to come out with
new issues in 1904. Bryan and silver
will not go. The first State Conven-
ton was held IN Ohio and out of 900
delegates there were only some six of
them who wanted the Kansas City
platform and Bryan. So one State
after another turned Bryan down until
Iowa was reached which gave an ex-
preston for him, but it does not count,
as it goes Republican. Bryan and sill
yer are so strong in some sections that
a Third Party is talked of, but that
would be still further to weaken the
Democratic strength. imperialism
does not take the place of Free Silver,
and what to do is the quandary.

THE South seems to have a thirst for
blood, and if they can't get it anyother
way they don't mind to brush the law
aside, especially if it pertains to bru-
tai negro who has been a willing learn
er from them. Last week negro, who
was accused of criminal assault, was
tried by an Alabama court, his trial
lasting but two hours. The jury
agreed upon his guilt instantly, and
the judge sentenced him to be hanged
on September Goth. There was not the
slightest probability of his escape, but
the mob was not to be deprived of its
prey without protest. They attempted
to take the prisoner, but the sheriff
happened to be a man with backbone,
and resisted their demands, but not
until two of the mob had been severely
wounded or killed did they retire.

of the sheriff at AbevilIe, there would
be less of these disgusting details of

BIG BLACK SNAKE FEASTS ON EGGS.
Makes Visit to Hernery at Camden and
Swallows Five Eggs Whole.

A remarkable snake story comes
from Camden. 1t is generally known
that, because of the exceeding hot
summer and the frequent rains, more
snakes, both copperhead and black
snakes, have appeared than has been
known for many previous years. Mrs.
Blades discovered a snake disturbing a
setting hen at night, and at first
thought some of the children had
thrown a black cloth over the setting
of eggs during the night.
Upon reaching for it, however, she
saw that it was a big blacksnake help
ing himself to eggs, swallowing them
whole so that the eggs could be traced
down the reptiles body. Five eggs
were swallowed before her husband
could reach her in response to her
lusty calls for help. The snake was
dickered with in order to save the re-
naming eggs which were about to
hatch, and did hatch ten chickens on
the following day. The reptile, when
finally killed, measured feet in length
and nearly inches thick

AT NO time since the first diploma

researches been so numerous and so
fruitful as in recent years. And the
triumphs of surgery have been daz-

who have devoted splendid abilities to
the prevention and cure of diseases
and to the relief of pain and misery
are found in no small numbers in every
progressive nation. They have swept
away many old unsound traditions
and destroyed many antique fetiches
and delusions. Intelligent people are
taking better care of themselves than
their fOrefathers did, and they go
through life with fewer physical afflic-
