RICHMOND COUNTY
How the County Was Carried in the
June Primary.

of local political conditions that would
be expected only in trained diplo-
mat. The Sizing up of the situation
in Augusta was almost perfect and
developments disclose that statements
then made were little less than fault
less prophesies. Col Estill, at that
early date, most warmly thanked Miss
Moore for the assistance and encour-
agement she offered him, but his let
ters to the lady smacked of the Ter
ll-is-sure-of- Richmond" feeling that
pervaded the state. This, however,
only made Miss Moore more persist
ent. She began to talk "Estill' more
loquaciously and with stronger fervor
than ever. She besougpt "the colonel
to come to Augusta and make an adj
dress. He finally yielded to her per-
sistence. and when he visited this city
he made a most excellent impression.
His conference with Miss Moore and
study of the situation as she laid
It before him almost convinced him
that he could win. He threw himself
on Miss Moore's information and fol-
lowed her plans.
Business men here became interested
in him. The drummers worked hard
for him. Other interests backed him,
but the great personal following that
fiocked to him and which elected him,
50 far as the county was concerned,
was the result of womans ceaseless
endeavor for him.
That Richmond went for Estill was
the greatest of political surprises The
war horses" here were for Terrell.
Nobody seemed to care whether EstilI
or Query ever got vote. Terrell was
as sure of Richmond as he would
have been had he had no opposition.
Miss Moore has done some literary
work, but her tastes lean to the active
newspaper field. She prefers a re-
porter's' assignments to the 'lady's
department" easy chair.
She resides with her sister in de-
lightfully located residence on Bay
street, overlooking the Savannah, one
of the best home sections of the city.
Her friends are legion, and there is
hospitality and cheer, and vivacity
about her home-life which draws
about her smart and intellectual peo-
pie. She is splendid conversation
alist, and well-informed; she thinks
out problems quickly and her thoughts
when voiced show judgment, bright
ness and keen perception.
The men voted Richmond to Estill,
yet but for Julia Baudry Moore there
would never had been the effort on his
part to capture the county's support.

A Little Girls Compliment.

Two women and bright little girl
occupied seats in a Prospect avenue
car last evening. says the Kansas City
Journal. The little girl attracted at
tention with her questions and an
swers. 1t was when the car reached
Eighteenth street that the climax was
reached. At that point the car makes
long stop before pulling UP the hill.
1t was while the car was at a stand
still that pretty woman, and evident
ly a friend of the two in the car,
passed along.
ooh, dear! There's Mrs. s. My! She
is such handsome woman" said the
mother of the bright little girl to s@ss'
friend.
Yes, she is beautiful" assented the
friend.
The little girl was looking out of the
window after the figure strolling up
tine hill. Presently she turned in her
seat.
Say. mamma, you look just like
that lady"
DO 1. dear?" asked the mother
sweetly.
Yes. Just 'zactly-an 'cept the
head"
The little girl is still wondering why
the carful of people laughed.

Augusta, Ga, Aug 30.-The secret
of How on Earth Did Estill Carry
Richmond County?"-a question asked
many times since the Democratic pri-
mary in Georgia-has come out"
1t was the work of woman-a
bright, smart, sensible one.
She did not do any of the voting.
But she laid the ground work-she
started the ball rolling Estll-ward.
To Miss Julia Baudry Moore is due
whatever credit there is for putting
Richmond in the Estill column. She
is in the newspaper business. She Is
apt, energetic, enterprising. She was
devoted to Mr.. Estill. Mr.. Estill had
been her friend, and, when the cam
paign began she made up her mind
to help 'the colonel" as she calls him.
In Augusta in April or March Mr..
Dupont Guerry made the remark at
the Albion hotel here that II have
been able to find only one of those 120
Terrell counties that Warner Hill has
adopted in behalf of the late attorney
general: and that is Richmond"
When Miss Moore heard of this re-
mark, her reply was: "Mr. Query is
very much mistaken. The county is
going for the colonel"
The lady was Laughed out of coun-
tenance" by her coterie of friends. II
developed, even at that time, that her
remark was not an idle one. She had
been in correspondence with the col
onel." She had explained, in an in
teresting manner. the political sltua-
ton here-that there was just ahead
a bitter county fight and that the
county was giving no Indication OF
any interest whatever In the guberna-
torial contest.

was placed on the table, when its bead
was pinned down firmly by stick be-
ing placed directly across the same.
The reptile was then grasped by the
neck, Immediately behind the head.
Held in this position, the snake was

when held in this manner the snake
invariably threw its jaws wide open,
disclosing the poison bearing fangs.
which are elongated, hollow teeth on
the upper jaws, discharging their VEN
ON through a narrow opening at their
tips. In fact, these are instruments
for incubation devised by nature, and
copied by man to- play an important
part in the practice of medicine in the
shape of the hypodermic needle.
Holding the snake in a firm grasp,
the operator applied it's distendsd jaws
to the edge of the chamios-covered
vessel. With a vicious lunge. the rep
tile would close it's jaws, sending the
sharp fangs through the channels. With
this act a muscle situated over each
poison gland in the back of the SER
pents head was contracted. The
pressure of these muscles against the
glands partially emptied them IF their
contents, and two lets of a clear, yell
low fluid were precipitated into the
glass.
1.-The quantity taken from a single
snake varied from six to eight drops
in the case of a reptile of a yard or so
in length to a teaspoonful from a rat
tlesnake of twice that length. fnciden-
tally it might be stated that 1t takes
only few drops of this formidable IL

ages of the venom as it enters the

"An afternoon was generally consum-
ed in extracting the poison, and dur
ing this time the venom was often
smeared upon the fingers of the oper-
ators, but they were careful that no
scratch or cut existed upon their hands
when an afternoons study began. The
poison is harmless upon the skin, and,
strange to say, may be swallowed
without producing i'll effect, providing
it meets with no infiamed surface or
abrasion in the interior of the scien-
tif1c person who attempts such an ex-
pertinent.
THE extracted poison was used in
several ways. A portion was devoted
to analytical work, a certain quantity
was used for injections, while small
portions were sent to scientists inter-
ested in the subject. During the ex-
periments an anti-venomous serum was
tested. This serum, manufactured
on the same lines as the various anti
S toxins, was found to be efficacious in
many instances.
AN interesting result of the expert
ments was the comparison of virulence
of the poison in the different species OF
venomous snakes of the United States

adjectives. There was a slam of the
upper door, heavy footfalsl on the floor
above, and 'Henny's' services came to
an end. This was only laughable
however, and 1 was enjoying the situ-
atom until my eyes rested on the box
which Henry had partially opened
From that box was isusing a pro-
cesslon OF somber, olive-colored snakes,
the reptiles eyes scintillating in the
gaslight as they glided for woodpile
and coal heap. The cellar was randi

with apparent unconcern, to the music
OF the five big rattleSnakes.
Ine situation was becoming decid-
edly interesting. But the worst was
realized when 1 saw marked upon the
crate, in bold, black characters, the
words, Forty moccasin snakes Forty
moccasins issuing from that box,
Snakes that are credited with a most
vlllainous disposition, backed by the

be done at once
Leaving the sullen .rattlesnakes to
lie coiled and buzzing, operations were
directed upon the moccasins. One by
one they were lifted from the floor
upon the end of a stick and dropped
into trunk. Fully half an hour was
consumed in the work. Finally the last
specimen was found hiding beneath
some boxes. 1t was dragged forth, with
open mouth, showing the cottony white
interior of the same, which gives this
snake In many portions of the South
the name of 'cotton-mouth.' All
through these anxious moments the
rattlesnakes never stopped their uncan-

with the utmost speed the labora-
tory was made ready for the snakes.
The neighborhood celebrated when
the reptiles left the cell

placed in the middle of the room, con-
shutting the only piece of furniture.
For handling the snakes were procured
several STATS. These were curved at
the ends, and in many ways resembled
Skinny sticks. They were employed in
lifting the snakes from their cages to
the table. The method employed in
extracting the poison was simple and
of our own invention.

outside, from which the driver was re-
moving two large boxes.
I've got a bunch of snakes out
here!" he shouted Justify. AS this hap
pened on an evening when neighbors
were grouped on numerous nearby
verandas, the expressman's vocal en-
ergy was embarrassing.
THE boxes were taken into the cell
lar From one came the continuous
rasping sound indicative of the caudal
appendage of the rattlesnake. This
sound fluctuated at times, growing
stronger as the box was unceremon-
iously dumped from the truck, and,
owing to the fact that in the semi
darkness silent spectators could be seen
intently studying every phase of the
maneuvers. I perspired more than nor
mally while the boxes were being TAX
en- into the cellar.
with the boxes once inside and the
noisy expressman dispatched, realiza-
ton dawned quickly. This was the an
swer to the order without warning, in
shape of letter or telegram, the enthu-
siastic snake collector had forwarded
to US two boxes of deadly snakes, in
need of water, cages, and food, but we
were without any accommodations to
supply the same, for the laboratory
could not be made ready within
week. There was no help for it how
ever; the snakes had to be looked af-
ter, temporarily Gagged and watered
or they would die.
upstairs in the 'den,' as the family
called it, was a collection of some two
dozen harmless snakes, but all the
cages were filled Upon hearing the
music of the newly arrived rattlesnakes
the family refused to allow them up
stairs. Boas and lively blacksnakes
were considered bad enough end form
ed the limit to liberation.
Persuasion of an oratorical and des-
perate nature, however, resulted in
permission to convert the cellar into
what certain members of the house
hold insisted would become a veritable
chamber of horrors. Emphatic recon-
mendations to lock all doors leading to
the place accompanied the concession.
There were three old trunks in the
cellar. which it was determined to
utilize as snake cages. In the first
part of the proceedings 1t was neces-
sary to appropriate several large pans
from the kitchen to serve as drinking
dishes for the reptiles. This relation
ship of household utensils to the snakes
comfort was soon discovered by the
cook, who at once condemned the
dishes for any future use in the face
of an enthusiastic attempt on my part
