Treatment for Snake Bite.

Mr., Cornelius Wheeler, while on his
return one evening last week from town
to his home on Buck Creek, came in
contract with a huge snake
of the mountain tribe which colled
around his lower limb n inflicted two
severe gashes with its fangs while Mr..
Wheeler was trying to extricate the
reptile from his leg. One took effect
in his right leg just below the knee, n
The other in his right hand. He went

application of treatment seemed to have

during the night those gathered around
his bedside did not think he would live
through the night. After he was bitten
by the snake he says that he drank
about a pint Of whiskey, one-half pint
spirits of turpentine, n quart Of black
berry wine and ate two n o~ne-fourth
plugs of the Red Elephant" tobacco
ard within twenty-four hours he was
able to sit up and he is still improving.

PRIME TEXAS MOSQUITOES.
The Pests Lifted q Begged Fishing
Party from the Mire.

Edna, Texas, August 19.-Colonel
Frank Dickson, of the Progress, has
just returned from IN outing to his IA
vorite fishing waters, and during his
stay he had rather a thrilling expert
eEce. He made the trip partly at night
and before he was aware of danger he
and his companion, horse and buggy
were stuck fast in a marsh. Here theX
remained for several hours, listening to
bowling wolves and believing alliga-
tors. He said he thought their fate
was sealed, but finally a stiff breeze
brought to their assistance a cloud Of
mosquitoes, which fastened their bills
into the men and the animal and ac-
tually pulled them safe and sound to
the solid ground. Colonel Dickson says
he has always entertained very serious
doubts about that old chestnut OF
Jonah and the whale, but since his own
miraculous escape from death in a mire
by the timely arrival of the mosquitoes
h. is prepared to believe anything he
hears about the deIiverance of the
moral and upright in heart from DAN
ger. The colonel further says his judg-
inent was cool and clear because he
drank nc water during the trip.-GaI-

Raleigh, n. c., August p.
State Auditor Dixon says tina he
feels reasonably sure the valuation Of
all the property in this state will be in
creased from % to So per cent, this in
Guiding the tax on railways. He thinks
that the total amount of taxes will be
sufficient to meet the states eXpendi-
lures and thus relieve the situation
which last year and so far this year
hes been quite a troublesome one. He
expects considerable evenu from the
WfiSkey tax under the new law. OF
course no one can teH yet what this
tax will be, and still less what it will
be next year as so many towns are go
ing dry. Still, there is liability for tha
tax until the saloons n distillerieS
are closed.
The MasonS are certainly going to
work most earnestly to promote their
great masonic temple fair here. All
sorts of new schemes are being brought
out. 1t is the hope that something like
$40, 900 will be realized from toe fair.

his good work of running down fire

good one. Next year, after the very
fine impression made by the encamp-
ments, it is expected the attendance
will be we'll nigh perfect. 1t seems to
be the opinion that places in the ex-
IRENE west or on the coast are better
for summer encampments that those
in the interior Or middle parts OF the
state. Thus the encampments at Ashe-
VILE and at Morehead City are said to
have been superior to the one at
Greensboro. 1t requires ample space
and special space for a camp.
The leading negroes in this state seem
to be very earnest in their effort to put

line, and naturally the white people
are looking with interest upon the
steps they take.
1t is now certain that South Carolina
and Virginia will cooperate with this
state in the effort to fight the tobacco
trust. 1t is not yet known whether
there will be cooperation in the efforts

this trust in the courts.

Every Penny q Jack Pot.

A little girl in this city, says the
Lincoln Star, had 4 cents which she
was to give to the Sunday school in
two equal instruments. When she
went to her class last Sunday she was
advised by her mother u leave two
of the pennies at home, but as she
insisted upon carrying them she was
permitted to take them all in her
purse. When she returned home the
four pennies were gone.
My child, where are the other
two?" the mother asked.
And the little one, mixing for the
moment some of the card talk h had
heard at home with what she really
wanted to say, lnnocently replied:
We'll, mamma, they dealt twice"
