The States Claim.

South Cardinals claim against
the United States government in
regard to the taxing of the dis
pensaries by the revenue depart
ment was argued in the court of
claims in Washington, but no de
clslon has been rendered yet. The
case is a most interesting one and
involves abolt $685. 900 already
paid over and the future payment
OF about $4,000 a year. The
question of law is whether the
dispensary law exempts pay
ment of an internal revenue tax
OF $25 for each retail dispensary
to the government. The matter
was first taken up by Mr.. Frank
lin H. Mackey, South Carolina
lawyer now in Washington and
the agreement was made that
should he be successful in the case
one half of the amount recovered
should be given him as fee and
that he was to receive nothing
should the case be decided against
the state. Mr.. Mackey keeps the
attorney general fully posted on
the case and favorable decision
is expected. The government
was represented at the hearing
yesterday by Assistant Attorney
General Walker. .-Columhia Re-

teen Badly Injured. Wreck d,
age Piled up Thirty Feet.

Peoria, ILL.,, Nov. 19.-Thirty-
one mon were killed and at least
15 injured in a head-on collision
between a freight train and a
work train on the Big Four rail-;
road between Mackinaw and Ire.
mont this afternoon. Bodies of
26 of the victims have been taken
from the wreck which is piled 80
feet high on the tracks. Five
bodies yet remain buried under
the huge pile of broken timber,
twisted and distorted iron and
steel. ..
On bank at the side of the
track lie the bodies of the victims,
cut, bruised and mangled in a
horrible manner. So far 10 onIy,
have been identified, the RENAME
ing being unrecognizable, even BY
those who knew them and are
aware of the fact that they are
among the dead. The victims are
residents of neighboring towns.
AL the dead and most of the
injured were memb bers of the
work train, the crews on both
engines jumping In time to save
their lives The collision occur
ed in a deep cut at the beginning,
of a sharp curve, neither train be-
ing visible to the crew of the Other
until they were in SO feet of each
other. The engineers set the
brakes, sounded tho whistles and
then leaped from their cabs, the
two trains striking with such force
that the sound was heard for
miles. A second after the collision
the boiler of the work train engine
exploded, throwing heavy iron
and spllnters of wood 200 feet.

MIR. E. A. Taylor, Raleigh, NC.
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the
9th inst, in which you state "that
you and the attorney general of
the state are advising the farmers
not to pay their premiums to us,
due upon insurance policies which
we issued to them in the past sea-

Tobacco Planters Mutual Hail and
Fire Insurance company" have
never complied with the insurance
laws of this state and any business
done in this state has been done
in violation of our statute law.
You cannot, therefore, expect
our officers or courts to acquIesce
in contracts made in violation of
law. Yours truly,
A. W. Jones,
Comptroller General.

Crouch Kills His Snake.
He Finds Scriptural Warrant for
Decapitating the Reptile That
Bit Him.

Still wearing on his fingers the
bandages that concealed wounds
ma de by rattlesnake bites, l.. G.
Crouch, of Winston, walked into
The Observer Office last night and
dropped on the city editors desk
a package, saying: q ,at5
"There it is. Them's the NOR
tai remains of the varmint." The
package, opened, disclosed the
head or large rattlesnake, still
bloody and dangerously looking.
Close to the head was a four.in
hand cravat that had been made
from the skin of the snake.
Crouch picked up the cravat and
fitted it around his neck. In
future he will wear the tie as a
companion piece to the snake skin
that he uses as hat band.
'I killed him this afternoon, /"
said Crouch. "He is the devil
that bit me. He had been friend
to me and my family and l looked
on him almost as a brother till he
bit and nearly killed me. AL

dead, still l hesitated about killing

ed to be looking for warrant to
kill the snake, but 1 never got it
till this morning, when, in read
ing my Bible, l found this passage:
What is man that Thon art
mindful of him: for Thou hast
made him little lower than the
angels, and hast crowned him
with glory and honor. Thou
mad'st him to have dominion over
the works of Thy hand; Thou
hast put all things under his feet
"And just as soon as 1 saw that
passage" continued Crouch, "I
knew it was right to kill the snake.
1 waited till 20 minutes past 4
o'clock--the very minute that the
snake bit me-and then I chopped
his blessed head off with Ratchet.
But l shall never see such a snake
again." said Crouch, holding
the bloody head in his hand, while
his eyes filed with tears. "Such
q friend he was to me and mine
such dear, good friend he was.''

Terms Of Canal Treaty
What United States Will Do for
Republic of Panama. ~

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE
terms Of the canal treaty with
Panama and the situation on the
isthmus were the only subjects
discussed at the cabinet meeting
today. The Colombian protest
against the position assumed by
the United States, which was sent
to Senator Frye, the presiding of
fcer of the senate, who turned, it
over to Secretary Hay, was in
formally submitted to the presi-
dent who discussed it with the
cabinet. No answer to it was
decided on and it is possible that
no attention will be paid to it or
its receipt formally acknowledged.
The canal treaty with Panama
which Is now being negotiated and
which has been;practically finished
for several days, provides for the
cash payment of $40, $50, 900 to
the young republic, which is an ad-
ditlon OF quarter of q million
dollars to the amount that has
been paid Colombia under the
Hay-Herrau treaty. This pay
ment alone will give Panama
greater wealth per capita than any
of the other and much older Gem
trail American republics. It is
probable that part of the money
will find it's way into tho Colom>
bian treasury in the guiss of slight
balm of the loss of the isthmus.
The United States is urging the
young republic to assume a part
Of the Colombian debt and appiy
its proportion from the cash paye
ment for the canal.
