The kindergarten department Of
Winthrop college opened Wednesday,
a I'd as usual, there was a good attend
ance. This department is In charge Of
Miss Minnie McFeat of Columbia. 1t
Is perfectly right that this lady should
have a reput ion all over the south
for she Is enthusiastic to the extent Of
living and breathing kindergarten and
her influence over the little tots Is most
wholesome.
In view Of the recent overwhelming
decision of the qualified electors Of this
county in favor of abolishing the ini-
quitous dispensary system, there have
been insinuations In the matter Of the
sincerity Of those who formed the
Anti Blind Tiger association in April
1901. To show just what has been
done In the matter there Is published
in the Record Of today list Of vouch-
ers paid out on approval Of Chairman
Wylie of the above named league The
amount paid In Is $53. OF that amount
1t Is shown that S49.75 has been ex-
pended as 1t was intended by the plans
that II should be In evidence which
convicted and In legitimate election
expenses and that the balance $2.76 Is
In the bank. II Is an interesting fact
that the second item on the list Is that
Of $5 for evidence which convicted
Amzi Sanders, the negro who was shot
by NJ F. Owens last week.
Your correspondent has seen and
measured real live cabbage snake"

from a cabbage head just as IL was
about to be plunged into the pot to be
cooked, and II was seven and one-half
inches long and about the circumfer-
tectly white and seemed to be dead un-
til put into a pan of water when IL
coi!ed itself into the space Of half
an incn and revolved rapidly through
the water sinking or rising at pleas
ure. II may be the all wise decree OF
the Federal government that this thing
is q myth or at least harmless Great
ure which we have been eating In
safety all Of our lives but this cores
pondent and the family Of Mr.. Will
liam Dunlap Of Ogden who discovered
and brought Il here to exhibit, are
OF the unalterable opinion that 1t Is
entirely nasty and bad for the health
and digestion and that hereafter no
cabbaee goes into our pots until after
thorough dissection and examination.
The vile worm or bug or insect or
what not, which has caused uneasiness
I'm this city for some weeks, and which
has bitten a number Of our citizens
with very painful IL not serious effect,
has been classified as the flannel
worm" by an entomologist who pre-
scribes a copious amounting with tur-
pentine or with tincture Of myrrh and
laudanum as q remedy. Your CORES
pondent has not been bitten by one Of
these things, but as q matter OF exper-
ience he would suggest that any one so
unfortunate should take mouth full
Of some antiseptic solution and thor
oughly suck the poison from the wound
before using anything. Such prophy-
Tactic treatment would secure immuni-
ty from the bite of an "asp" II taken
