The Hague conference is
about to close, leaving fully as
many wars in existence as there
were when it opened. But no
one can say the work of the con-
ference was futile. Every one of
its meetings calls for a lot of
talk and thought on the subject
of universal peace and the more
we think and talk about univer-
sal the nearer is its realization.

SNAKE STORY From FLORENCE.
Negfo killed from Bite Of an Unusually
Larae Rattler.

FLORENCE, September ia
well-known engineer on the Atlantic
Coast Line, informed The News and
Courier correspondent this morning
of a most interesting snake story.
One da7 last week Section Master
Matthews, of the Mount Holly sec.
ton, on the Northeastern railroad,
had his gang of hands at work cut
ting down bushes on the right of
way near swamp three miles south
of Strawberry. One of the hands,
John jenkins, q negro, who was cut
ting some small sweet gum bushes
near the stump of an old tree, all
of q sudden he felt something strike
him on the leg, aud as he looked he
saw the head of monster snake, q
rsttler, lying about three feet from
him. Knowing that be had been
bitten, he rushed from the bushes
and hsllooed "saake.' The other
negroes rushed from the bushes and
to jenkins assistance. 1t was soon
found hat Jenkins had been bitten on
the leg and he was placed on handcar
and hurried to Mount Holly, where
some whiskey was procured and
poured down the negro, who in that
time, just seven minutes, was begin
ming to suffer sgoules from the poison.
A physician was sent for from Sum-
| merville, but it was some time before
he could reach the sick man, aud the
result was that he died several hours
afterward.
Mr.. Matthews, the section master,
as soon as he reached Mount Holly,
and after barring the negro's leg,
measured the place where the snake
had stuck his fangs in the leg, just
below the knee, and by actual meas
uremeut it showed that the two fangs
in the upper jaw measured two
inches apart and the distance be-
tween the upper and lower jaw
where the fsngs entered was just
4 IA inches, showing tnat it must
have been a monstrous snake indeed
to have such very large mouth.
In the excitement when the negro
was bitten no one had presence OF
mind, or took the time to kill the
snake, and when the party returned
the snake had moved away and
could not be found.
Where it lay in its bed and where
the negro stood were just two and
and one-half feet apart, showing that
the reptile was of unusual length,
or it would have been impossible to
have struck his object so far away.
Where the reptile had lain in the
bushes he had made bed Some five
feet in diamater. An effort is to be
made to capture the monster reptile
by party of snake hunters and if
secured he will be placed on exhibi-
ton.

WILLIAMSON Plan
APPLIED TO COTTON.
TITS CLAIMED That MORE THAN A
A BALE TO The ACRE Can
Be PRODRCED.

It has been the ambition oi
every farmer in the South to
make at least one bale of cotton

can be done. And from recent
experiments it looks as though
the time is not far distant when
the new "Williamson Plan" will
be used by every farmer in the
South. In writing of his expe'
riments, B NJ Hudson of Camden
says:
"As the Williamson corn
method has been such a bless
ing to South Carolina and as |
have been accused of withhold
ing what information | have had
on the subject for selfish mo-
tives,' I want to Say to the far
mers of South Carolina that the

necessary for cotton as for corn.

"While this may be doubted
by some, can prove my asser-
tion by some of the leading men
of the county. The method is

small amount or none at all.

crop will grow slowly in the
spring, but will grow in July

bed and worked to get a quick
growth in June.
The best crop in this section
today was considered a failure

method by which made 1e3
bales of cotton on 150 acres and
will do as we'll or better this
year.

the spectacle of small boys brought into court to
plead with hardened criminals. The presentment
of grand jury caused change in this manner OF
procedure and also led to the adoption of the pro-
baton system, so that the youth before entering
upon career of crime is given opportunity to
mend his ways.
Yesterday it became apparent that the grand
jury empaneed on the first Monday of this month
discharged its duties with the same earnestness
noticeable now in many places. While it touched
upon no public matter of corruption there seems
little doubt it would have done so had there been
any evidence obtainable. The grand jury did,
however, go thoroughly into the consideration of
the question whether or not a serious police
blunder had been made when man. not resident
of the state was taken into custody on the grave
charge of murder. There were unusua! crcum-
stances about the case but it is we'll the grand
jurors had the patience and high sense of duty to
investigate before presenting bill and forcing the
accused to stand the expense of trial. and perhaps
undergo the hardship of many months in confne
ment in Jail.
In relation to the control of high electric
currents the jury also did excellent work. There
have been times in counties other than that of
Providence, when electric wires proved death traps,
and in which, through carelessness in regard to the
of proper apparatus, several fatalities accurred
1t ought to be possible TO give adequate protection
to men who have to work about telephone wires or
other wires 1t should, indeed, be part of the
duty Of company, prosperous and possessing ex-
elusive privileges, to see that such a system is
adopted as will render such fatality as that which
occurred at Darlington during the first month of
the present year, impossible in the future.

THE PRESIDENCY.

Reports from the West indicate that there is a
strong sentiment there for the denomination OF
President Roosevelt. The feeling in Ohio appears
to be well divided between Senator Foraker and
Secretary Taft. There is doubt that if the
voters attended primary called at this time to elect
delegates to convention, that the decision would
be strongly for Taft.
Foraker is resourceful, however, and one
can now predict how the voters of the Buckeye
state will feel seven months hence. There is un-
doubtedly, growing repugnance against having
any mans man as presidential candidate and this
feeling cannot fail to hurt Secretary Taft's pros
poets.
One of the most persistent boomers Of the plan
to renominate President Roosevelt is Governor
Cummns of Iowa. He presents the views of many
others when he contends that the regulation OF
corporations and not the tariff will be the para
mount issue in the next national campaign. There.
fore, as the best representative of that idea, ht
asserts President Roosevelt must be the candidate
OF course, Governor Cummns admits there
are other Republicans who have much strength il
the country, but he believes it will be question
the important policies that President Roosevelt
alone has shown the courage to adopt that will de
termine the issue of the presidential candidacy.
If that be the case, Democrats should TAX
heart since the very principles for which they wer
once derided are made the basis upon whicl
the denomination and reelection of Republican
| president is demanded.

A REASONABLE REQUEST.

Mayor Mccarthy was fully justified in urging in
special message, sent to the common council last
evening, an early report by the committee having
under consideration the question of an easy grade
approach to the East Side. This matter has been
under discussion for many years, and for two years,
At least it has been subject of vital agitation by
the people of the East Side, whose interests are
directly affected.
They are entitled to relief in the way of better
facilities of communication between the centre of
the city and the section in which they reside. At
public hearings they have expressed their wishes,
the large majority demanding tunnel to be built
by the city, owned by the city and leased to the
traction company at reasonable price.
Many other plans to give the East Side resi-
dents the better service they seek have been laid
before the committee which, it seems, in all reason,
ought to be prepared to make report.
While there is no disposition to hurry the
committee in reaching decision, there is strong
feeling the part of the public that it has had
ample time to digest all the plans laid before it and
ought to be able to make report before the coun-
Ill takes its summer recess.
That is what the mayor asks in his message,
and his request is both reasonable, proper and
timely.

TEACHERS

At meeting OF the board of educa-
tion prior to the veto by Gov Hughes
of the teachers salary bill Mr. Par
fridge introduced a resolution direct
ing the city superintendent to look
for teachers in Rochester, Syracuse
and other cities up the state. He said
that there were 800 vacancies in the
teaching force.
Gov. Hughes in his veto message
stated that women teachers are not
| fairly paid in proportion to the men
| This Is undeniably true. The World
in the beginning of the fight against
| the McCarren and White bills pointed
out this fact Mr.. Partridges resolu-
ton suggests that the law OF supply
and demand may also be cited to like
conclusion. Something must be done
| for the teachers. The attempt to do IL
in the wrong way having fortunately
failed. IT. is time for the board OF edu-
cation to do II In the right way.
The board cannot plead poverty as
an EXCUSE for inability to pay the
women better so long as II wastes
money by hiring men at much better
pay to teach in primary schools. How
ever necessary men teachers may be
for older children, they are not need
ed--they are probably less efficient
than women--in dealing with young
children.
Any movement TO raise wages should
