For some cause no rattlesnake
Will cross a hair rope. When a
camping party is in q region infest-
ed with these vermin, all that is
necessary to protect the camp at
night is to lay q hair lariat on the
ground around the camp in such a
way that no snake can approach the
camp from any quarter without
crossing the rope, and the campers
are perfectly secure from intrusion.
Why it is no human being can ex-
plain, but that it is so has been too
often proved to be doubted.

WALHALLA, 8. G..
THE NEW GRADED SCHOOL.

The sealed bids for the erection of the
opened and considered by the authorities
on Tuesday of last week. The contract
was awarded to Mr.. j. w. Queen for
$5,650, work to be begun as soon as the
material can be placed, and the building
to be completed and turned over to town
by September 1st, 1902. Mr.. Queens
contract is for tho building alone, and
does not inolud, the heating, plumbing
Or seating. The building will be hand
some modern structure, two stories, six
rooms, with ample halls, and everything
will be arranged with a view to making
it a model in convenience and appoint
ment for school purposes. The plans
were drawn by Messrs. Edwards & Wal
ter, architects, of Columbia. 1t will only
be few m onths until Walhalla can boast
of/one more handsome modern building
in keeping with the general spirit of i'm
provement that has struck one of the
most progressive towns in South Caro-
lima. 1t is hoped that arrangements can
be made to have the Hon. George b.
Cromer, President of Newberry College,
to deliver an address at the laying of the
cornerstone of the building. He gradu-
ated from Newberry College while that
institution was located In Walballa, is
we'll known here and will be most heartily
welcomed by our people. In view of his
past and present intimate association
with Newberry College, and the fact that
the new school building is to be erected
on the same spot formerly occupied by
his alma mater, his Presence and good
Offices on this occasion will be peculiarly
appropriate.
We also suggest that the cornerstone
be laid with Masonic ceremonies, and
that Grand Master Walter M. Whitehead,
of Charleston, be invited to officiate. He,
too, is one of the leading educators of
the State, and if a date could be fixed SO
that he could conveniently leave his post
as Superintendent of the City Schools of
Charleston, he would take pleasure in
paying visit to our hustling little city
at the foot of the mountains. His pres
ence would add greatly to the interest of
the occasion.

Aid Tor Silk Culture.

A Washington dispatch says: Because
of the increasing interest that is being
taken by the people OF South Carolina,
New Jersey and several other sections of
the country in the experiments in silk
culture, the House Committee on Agri-
culture has decided to provide in the
appropriation bill for that department
this year an appropriation of ten thou
sand dollars to aid the growth of this in
dustry. This appropriation did not at
first pass the committee. Several men,
bers OF the committee were not aware of
the extent to which silk culture is being
experimented wiz in South Carolina
principally, and also in other States and
it was only when the Secretary of Agri-
culture called their attention to the de-
mands which the department was daily
receiving for mulberry trees and eggs Of
the silkworm that the committee was
made to appreciate the Importance of
providing An especial appropriation for
this purpose.
Representative Latimer says his dis
trict has been interested i'm the silk cul-
ture experiment for some time and he is
every day receiving letters from persons,
especially women, who are anxious to
take try at tho new industry. Thou
sands of mulberry trees will have been
distributed throughout the State before
summer and large quantities of the eggs
OF SILK worms.
In Representative Lovers district, in
Orangeburg, q silk culture association
has been formed and Mr.. Lever has been
assisting Mr.. Latimer in an effort to
arouse interest in the matter at this end
of the line, with a view to getting an
appropriation from Congress to put the
industry on its feet. When Secretary
Wilson's aid was obtained it was realized
that long step had been taken in this
direction, and his strong recommends
tion for the Thousand dollar appro-
priation to provide eggs and mulberry
trees, as well as literature about the art
of silk culture, shows that he is back of
the infant industry in the launching of
which South Caroliniaus are taking a
prominent part,
