The impression about the State
House is that there will be two more
circuits created and two more judges
and two more solicitors to elect. The
Bar Association last week recon-
mended that the Legislature increase
the number of Supreme Court judges
from four to five. 1t was only few
years ago that there were only three.
The demand for judges is certainly
outgrowing the natural increase in
population. Mr.. Watson's immigra-
tion bureau should get even buster.
But it is further understood about
the State House that Citizen Ash
ley's bill to abolish the bureau will
be passed by the General Assembly
the Honse committee reporting it
favorably by unanimous vote. In
some things we are a queer people
especially in our law-making.-New-
berry Observer.

Unusual Experience With Snakes.

The following is from the Green.
vile Mountaneer j. III. Batson,
who lives a few miles above the city
on the Sandy Flat road, had an un.
usual experience with snakes on last
Sunday. He went to visit his brother,
j. +. Batson, on Enoree river Sun
day, and went into the pasture with
several children, where he saw a
highland moccasin as large as a
mans thigh and about three and a
half feet long. Mr.. Batson secured
rock and struck the serpent ter
rife blow, cutting deep cash in its
body, and while he was in the act of
putting an end to the wounded rep
tile, number of small snakes began
to run out of the wound i'm the mon
ster serpent's body. They came go
fast that MIR. Batson and the. child
ren were kept busy killing them for
some time. After the job had been
completed Mr.. Batson, who was too
busily engaged TO count them as they
came forth, discovered that forty-four
small snakes had been killed. He
believes if it had not been for the
assistance of the children he would
have been forced to abandon the at
tack and have taken to his heels. Mr..
Batson is not on the lookout for any
more snake fights.

important, and if the finances of the
country will admit, the canal should
be cut on dimensions sufficient, not
merely for existing deep-sea vessels.
but for the larger vessels of the fu.
ture. The question of summit level,
as far as it affects future operation of
the canal, is not of such vital import
ance, since the difference between a
canal with locks and one without
is mainly question of the time oc-
cupied in transit.
1t is certain that the raising by the

tentative plans, among which asea.
level canal is given prominence, will
result in an agitation for the con.
struction of a great sea-level water

much to recommend the larger plan.

plities both maintenance and opera

Remarkable Feat Of a Negro.

The great event at Cheyenne this
year was the remarkable feat of Will
Pickett, a negro, hailing from Taylor,
Texas, who gave his exhibition while
10000 people watched with wonder
and admiration mere man, unarmed
and without device or appliance of
any kind, attack fiery, wild-eyed
and powerful steer and throw it by
his teeth. With the aid of helper,
Pickett chased the steer until he was
in front of the grand stand. Then
he jumped from the saddle and
landed on the back of the animal,
grasped it's horns, and brought it to
a stop within dozen feet. BY a
remarkable display of strength he
twisted the steers head until its nose
pointed straight into the air, the
animal believing with pain and it's
tongue protruding in its effort to
secure air. Again and again the
negro was jerked from his feet and
tossed into the air, but his grip on
the horns never once loosened, and
the steer failed in it's effort to gore
him. Cowboys with their lariats
rushed to Pickett's assistance, but
the action of the combat was too
rapid for them. Before help could
be given, Pickett, who had forced
the steers nose into the mud and
shut off it's wind, slipped, and was
tossed aside like piece of paper.
There was scattering of cowboys
as he jumped to his feet and ran for
his horse. Taking the saddle with
out touching the stirrups, he ran the
steer to a point opposite the judges
stand, again jumped on its back and
threw it. Twice was the negro
lifted from his feet, but he held on
with the tenacity of bulldog. Sud
denly Pickett dropped the steers
head and grasped the upper lip of
the animal with his teeth, threw his
arms wide apart, to show that he
was not using his hands, and sank
slowly upon his back. The steer
lost its footing and rolled upon its
back, completely covering the negro's
body with his own. The crowd was
speechless with horror, many be-
lieving that the negro had been
crushed; but a second later the
steer rolled to it's other side, and
Pickett arose uninjured, bowling ami
smiling.-Iiarper's Weekly.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube. restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

Origin Of conylcfs Stripes.

rNew Orleans Times-D -Demoorat.]
"Did you ever stop to think about
the origin of the stripes we use in
our prisonsP said man with an
eye for the curious. eff you have
not it will not take you long to figure
the thing out if you happen to know
anything about the Bible. The fact
is that we get the idea from the old
dispensation.
"For instance, in the laws and
ordinances of Deuteronomy we find
the following, which will give us the
clue to the origin of stripes as a
badge of infamy: 'If there be con-
troversy between men, and they
come unto judgment, that the judges
may Judge them; then shall they
justify the righteous, and condemn
the wicked. And it shall be, if the
wicked man be worthy to be beaten,
that the judge shall cause him to lie
down, and to be beaten before his
face, according to his fault, by GER
tain number. Forty stripes he may
give him, and not exceed; lest if he
should exceed, and beat him above
these with many stripes, then thy
brother should seem vile unto thee.'
"Now, instead of infiicting these
physical stripes, we put striped
clothes on the men who offend the
law, or who may come unto the
Judgment, that the judges may judge
them, as it is put in the text. Of
course, you could go much further
back in history if you cared to trace
the origin of marks of infamy, but
you would find that physical mutila-
tion of some sort in majority of
instances afforded the means"

"UncIe Billy" Bowers Dead.

Bowersville, Ga, January 90
Hon. w. f. Bowers, widely known
as "Uncle Billy" died at his home
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
Uncle Billy will be sadly missed. His
life was long, active and useful.
Uncle Billy Bowers was at the
close of the civil war and during the
re obstruction period one of the most
'uresque figures in Atlanta and in
tn 'itical affairs of the State. He
was a. staunch Republican and was
one of the two Georgians who, in
1860, voted for Abraham Lincoln for
President and for Hannibal Hamlin
for Vice President. 1t was also due
to his influence that friend and
neighbor, Cyrus McCullum, also
voted the Republican ticket. McCul-
lum enlisted in the cause of the
South and was later killed in the
Confederate ranks.
Uncle Billy was member of the
Constitutional Convention after the
war and served term in the State
Senate. Although the men who
were affiliated with the Republican
party were then regarded with sus-
picion and open distrust, Uncle Billy
was invariably treated with courtesy
and consideration. Those who knew
him recognized that his political
affiliations were the results of deep
convictions and not of mere policy
or expediency.
Uncle Billie Bowers was born in
the old county of Elbert in 1925. In
1928 his father moved from Ebert
to Franklin and in that county he
has lived ever since. He was citi-
zen of Franklin county at the out
break of the war. His father was a
man of deep religious convictions
and was strongly influenced by the
arguments of the Abolitionists in be.
half of the liberation of the slaves.
Uncle Billy's political activity dated
back to the Harrison-V Buren,
campaign of 1910 and on a visit to
The Constitution office in Atlanta,
just few months before his death,
he reviewed at length in an inter-
view some instances of the campaign
between Polk and Clay in 1914.
He was a strong, rugged, typical
Georgian, and was for years one of
the most notable figures in the north
eastern section of the State. His
passing away will be noted with
regret by thousands ir Georgia who
admired him for his ,ged person
atty, his indominable ,ergy and
the conviction with which he sup
ported any cause that he felt was
right. Uncle Billy was looked upon
with genuine affection by the people
of his home county and many
throughout the State will join with
his home friends and neighbors in
sincerely lamenting his death.
