TWENTY-FOUR RATTLEs.
Joe Dennis Snake Must Have Been
More Than Old Enough to Vote.

Joe Dennis Snake Must Have Been
More Than Old Enough to Vote.
Beaufort, S. c., March 27-The biggest
rattle snake ever seen in this section of
the country was killed on Port Royal
Island at Periclear plantation yesterday
by Joe Dennis, a negro. Dennis was plow-
ing in his field and had retired to the
margin of forest that bordered the
open land where he was at work, to eat
his dinner, Sitting down on a pine stump
he heard a rustling sound behind him,
and turning round, observed a monster
RATHER partly coiled on the ground with
its head within a few feet of him. Hur-
rIedly leaving the spot, Dennis went to
get his gun, which he had left near by.
Returning with the weapon he found the
snake stretched out to almost its length
on the ground. Upon seeing Dennis it
rung its rattles furiously. Taking careful
aim, the negro delivered a charge of buck
shot into the reptiles head, literally tear
ing 1t to atoms. Upon measuring the rat
tier 1t was found to be feet inches in
length, minus it's head, and about five
inches in diameter in the middle. The
snake has twenty-four rattles and a but
ton, which fact indicated that it was
nearly rs years old. The reptiles skin can
be seen hanging on a post near Dennis
cabin. He has preserved the long string
Of rattles which he is showing around
With considerable pride.

FOR THE GRIP.
You Have Heard of Many Remedies
Did You Ever Try This Ones

Everybody you meet on the streets now
adays either has just had the grip, is
coming down with it or has a sure cure
for II.
The disease has been a puzzle to physi-
clans ever since its appearance several
years ago and it is as much of a puzzle
to-day as it was then. 1t exhibits such
variety or symptoms in different indi-
vIduals and leaves such disastrous re-
suits after apparent recovery, that as yet
its prevention and cure has baffied medi-
cal science,
However there is no doubt but that the
grip is catarrhal in character and the
leading sypmtom in nearly every case is
increased secretion in the head and
throat, in fact the first Indications of Ia
grippe are those of a cold in the head
which extends to the throat and lungs.
DR.. johnson Ames advises as the SAT-
est course to pursue on the first appear
ance of grip symptoms to keep to the
house for day or two and take Stuarts'
Catarrh Tablets every hour the first day
and every two hours the following day,
and states that this will break up the
trouble before it becomes deep seated.
These catarrh tablets are antlseptic and
harmless and prevent fever and the fur
Their Development of grip germs, and
ward off the ever present danger of pneu-
monia.
DIR. Gerald Simpson, says. Il have
found Stuart's Catarrh Tablets a pleasant
and thoroughly reliable remedy for the
grip, especially with elderly people with
whom thds prevailing disease is always
dangerous; the tablets can be found at
any drug store and if used freely during
the first few days of the attack will
break it up.
La grippe is a catarrhal affection, the
germs are in the air and no one is proof
against it, but the timely use Of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets will prevent any serious
results

waycross, Ga, March H.-One of the
boldeSt burglaries committed in Waycross
in many days, was discovered this MORN
ing by Mr.. ]. F. Hardin, salesman for
the Cash Grocery Company, as he came
down about o'clock to open up.
The dry goods store of j. A. Jones &
Son on lower Plant avenue, had been
entered during the night, as shown by
the shattered glass lying about the front
door. Some unknown miscreant had, dur
ing the night, thrown a bottle through
the door and entered the store. The par
ty made a raid on the cash register,
taking about 50. so in change. In his haste
he overlooked so gold piece lying in the
back part of the register.
The thief evidently received some severe
cuts on his hands, as there were heavy
blood stains about the money drawer. So
far as known nothing was taken from the
store, except the change mentioned above.

DEMAND MONTHLY REPORTS
ton County Commissioner Have
Declined to Make Reports.

Atlanta March 27.-The Prison Commits
sion has decided to demand monthly re-
ports as to misdemeanor convicts from
every county in the state. The reports of
abuses have been so frequent of late that
they desire to keep in close touch with
Ill the misdemeanor camps.
Secretary Goodloe Gancey says Fulton
county is the only county of any impor
ahce that has not made the report for
February as requested. The Fulton Coun-
ty Commissioners have ignored three no
tees to send in such reports. Unless they
send them in the Prison Commission will
call on them to show cause why the camp
should not be abolished and the convicts
otherwise disposed Of
Chairman Anderson of the County Com
missioners says the rule is absurd and
they do not propose to make the reports,
so an interesting contest is promised.
Such reports to the Prison Commission
are required by act of the Legislature.

Della. Ga. March 27.-Last Saturday,
about two miles from Irwinville, on the
graded road from that place to Waterloo,
the writer saw a large sow and three
pigs. the latter apparently about month
old, pursued by eighteen buzzards. The
pigs were just behind the sow. When
the foremost buzzards would nearly over
take the pigs the sow would turn and
drive them back few PAGES, then resume
her fight. Once buzzard overlook one
of the pigs and struck it a savage blow
with its beak, nearly knocking it down.
The sow hurriedly came to the rescue
and saved the pigs life. The SOW and
pigs seemed about tagged out when the
buzzards took fright at the near approach
of the horse and buggy and few away.
People who lose young pigs usually at
tribute the loss to wild cats, foxes, etc,

closer, they might find the harmless
