That Venomous King Snake.

To the Editor:-I notice in Wednes-
days issue report of a man in Lenoir
county having been bitten by a king
snake, and by prompt attention saved
himself from the serious effects" usually
following a king snakes bite The facts
in the case are that a king snake is not
venomous and without attention the
gentleman would have suffered no Csc
lious effects" There are more fallacies
about snakes in the country than about
anything else.
The common spreading adder frightful
as is his Kissing, is as harmless as the
king snake, or garter. There are less
than half a dozen venomous snakes in
the United States. Of these only three
kinds are to be dreaded: to-wit the
.rattlesnaks, the copperhead. end the cot
ton mouth. There are not enough rat
tiers in this part of the country to rem
der life intolerable. There are many cop
perheads. particularly on the slopes of
the Alleghanies. They are the woods
and barn snake, very vicious, and their
bite almost as severe as that of rat
tier. They are called white oak
snake" in some parts of our State, and
highland moccasin" in other parts.
The last name IS generally given, now
ever, to any spotted snake whose real
name is not known. The cotton mouth
is a swamp or water snake, whose
mouth when open looks white He is
blunt-tailed sluggish, but dangerous.

Of every childs public school course 1t
is a calamity for a child to grow up in

But of course this knowledge cannot be

Cor city, father AS a boy growing up
in the country, I was in mortal terror
of harmless snakes and harmless plants.
Till l was nearly grown the beautiful
Virginia Creeper, growing all over our
State, covering fences and rockpilcs,
beautiful with it's crimson coat in aut-
umn; known by all the common people
as poison ivy. That fallacy remains to
this day. The beautiful trumpet flower
is also thought to be a very poisonous
plant. Such a reputation takes away
from both these creepers the charms they
would otherwise possess in the estima-
ton of boy.
The education of a mass of teachers
before we can do anything wonderful
in the education of the masses of the
people, is a necessity. Pardon the length
of this non-political communication right

Cheap Local Railroad Rates.
ATLANTA Constitution


The people of Massachusetts are to
have the benefit of reduced local rail-
way passenger rates by an act of the
Legislature requiring all railroads in
the State to sell 5OO-mile tickets at 2
cents per mile. In support of the
measure figures from the experiences of
railways in other States were produced
to show that low passenger rates large
ly increase local travel and increase the
receipts of the railway companies far
beyond the increase of operating ex-
Denses.
For instance. after the passage Of a
similar law in New York the New York
Ontario and Western Railroad Company
instead of selling a 500-mile ticket for
$40, simply adopted a general rate of 2
cents per mile. The officials figured at
the time that the road would lose $780,
900 year, but the first year showed an
increase of local passengers of 43 per
cent and an increase of 5000 in receipts.
After that the receipts went up largely
the figures for three years being: First
year, $52O,644; second year, 1898, 457;
third year, s643, S71-an increase in three
years in local passenger receipts of "a
per cent.
Other examples equally as good were
given to show that traveing is not a fixed
quantity and that the cheaper the rates
the great ter the encouragement to the
people to patroniZe more literally.
Within the past twenty years the rates
for transporting freights have largely
decreased in all parts of the country,
but in very few sections has there been
any material reduction of the rates on
human freight For instance of that, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company
still charges a local passenger rate of 2
cents per mile. as was fixed in its charter
of 1925, but the rate of cents per ton
per mile for freight is now reduced to
about ] cent per ton for three miles.
The feeling is growing all over the
country that local passenger rates are
too high and where the railway COM
panies refuse to make equitable reduc-
tons the legislatures are being pressed
to take a hand on the PEOPLES behalf.
This was evidenced by the fact that no
less than eleven legislatures had the
subject up for discussion in the sessions
of the early months of the present year.
This is matter of great Importance
to the commerce of large central cities
and the people who live in every direc-
tion around them. Cheap local rates keep
cars full of passenger and the city stores
full of customers. The results are bene-
fetal all around and the wonder of the
matter is that railway managers do not
see the wisdom and profit of low local
rates without the help of compulsory
legislative action.
