HOW HER LIFE WAS SAVED WHEN
BITTEN BY A LARGE SNAKE.

How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago
harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which was
being driven by a woman. The wo-
man promptly tainted and the car, left
to its own resources, ran into stone
wall and caused serious accident
The bite of a poisonous snake needs
prompt attention. Mrs. K. M. Fishel,
Route No. 1, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa,
tells how she saved her life when
bitten by large snake.
ION August 49, 1906, I was bitten
on the hand twice by large copper
head snake. Being a distance from
any medical aid, as last resort used
Sloan's Liniment, and to my astonish-
ment found it killed all pain and was
the means of saving my life. | am

MRS. ARM0R OF
GEORGIA HERE
NOTED TEMPERANCE SPEAKER
EN- ROUTE FROM FAYETTE
VILE TO PULASKI.

Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, OF Geor-
gia. passed through Columbia Monday
morning en- route TO Pulaski, where
she viii speak this afternoon and to-
night in the interest Of Statewide pro
hibition. Mrs. Armor spoke at Fay
etteville on Sunday to an audience
that packed every inch of space in the
court house Mrs. Armor is a power
full speaker, perhaps the most effective
woman orator in the South She uses
satire, sarcasm, logic and sentiment
with almost irresistible effect. Her
appeals have helped the cause every
where she has been.
When seen at the station this morn
ing waiting between trains, Mrs. Ar
NOR stated to a representative of The
Herald that she would be glad to come
to Columbia and speak for the cause,
but that her time in Tennessee was at
the disposal of President, Mrs. Selma
Holman. of the Woman's Temperance
Union, and that arrangements to have
her speak here would have to be made
through Mrs. Holman.
At the station Mrs. Armor was sur
rounded with several ladies and gen
tlemen to whom she was appealing
for support for statewide prohibition.
Two of the men to whom she was ad-
dressing her remarks were for Patter-
son, but both pretended to be for
statewide prohibition, and, in the Ian
guage of the street, what she did for
them was a plenty" She told them
that this was not a personal fight, that
she had no war to make upon Gov.
Patterson, but she was against the
man who had the support of all the
liquor interests of the State. She
forced her auditors to admit that the
liquor interests were supporting Pat
terson and bitterly opposing Carmack
Mrs. Armor is a little woman,
physically, but she is strong and ac-
tive mentally. A woman of deep re-
ligious convictions, she fortifies her
statements with liberal quotations
from the Bible and speaks with all
the zeal of crusader. She never
questions the motives of the men OF
the opposition, nor INDUCES in personal
abuse, but she places principles above
men and her fight is for the home and
the salvation of mankind.
Mrs. Armor was met at the station
by Hon. G. 7. Looney, Chairman OF the
Carmack Central Committee, and later
several members of the local Woman
Christian Temperance Union called on
her. Mrs. Armor spoke here last fall
and recalled with pleasure her visit to
Columbia.
Mrs. Amor again denied that the
prohibition question was an issue IN
Georgia and referred to the signed
statemen of Hon. Joseph M. Brown to
that effect.

DISTRICT.

Farming conditions in this congress
sional district are to be investigated
By a specialist from the Department
OF Agriculture at Washington. D. c.
one Of the best known and most com
petent experts Of the department will
come to this section during the coming
summer and make a thorough study
of agricultural conditions. RE viii
confer with farmers, investigate the
soil and determine what type of farm
ing is best suited for this locality. A
more detailed investigation will be
made next year. Congressman Pad
gett has been active in securing this
expert and some time ago obtained a
promise from the department that the
investigation would be made and this
verbal promise was confirmed in the
following letter which the Congress
man received this morning:
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Bureau of Plant Industry,
Washington, d. c., June 6, 1908.
Hon. L. P. Padgett, Columbia, Tenn
My dear Sir:-Pursuant to my recent
promise, l write to state that We are
planning to have our Mr.. NJ. A. Crosby,
who has charge of farm management
investigations in Alabama, MISSISSIPPI
pi and Tennessee, to make careful
study of the agricultural conditions in
your section of the State Of Tennessee
during the coming year.
Mr.. Crosby will visit each of the
more important agricultural centers |
with the view of studying the work of |
the most progressive farmers so that
he may determine what types of farm
ing are best suited to the section and |
the best methods for farmers to follow
in the production and utilization of
their crops.
This study is preliminary to more
extensive and more detailed work the
year. Perhaps before the |
close of the coming fiscal year we
shall be able to begin demonstration
work of a number of the more impor-
tant phases of farming in that section
of country.
THE general plan of this work will
be to get as many farmers as possible
to conduct on their farms demonstra-
ton experiments with new crops and
methods of farming, Plans
for this work are not fully matured,
but in due time we shall undertake
extensive demonstration work in that
which | hope will result in
much benefit to local farmers.
Before outlining this work in detail
we desire the opportunity of confer
ring with the authorities of your state
experiment station at Knoxville,
whose knowledge of local conditions
is extensive, and who will be inter-
ested in this line of work. Such work
IS always done in cooperation with
he state experiment stations.
"Dr. Galloway informs me that he
IS planning to secure a force of spe-
,ialists to hold a series of meetings
n your part Of the state during the
coming month of August. He will !
with you concerning
hese meetings in the near future.
Hoping this is satisfactory, I am
very sincerely yours,

Novel Plan of Escape
Into Execution

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Aug. A.
Charles Ross, the Russian exile who
escaped to this country from Sag
halien island, where he was sent by
the Russian government only to be
sentenced to a term of years at San
Quentin for burglary, and for whom
the prison guards have been searching
the hills and valleys of Marin county
since last Thursday, when he was
missed at roll call, was captured early
today as he crawled from a kole under
one of the outer prison buildings.
He had gone but a few yards when
he was seen and halted by one of the
guards. He surrendered and quietly
returned to the penitentiary.
For four days, while posses of guards
and county officers were securing the
hills and wooded valleys. stopping
trains and watching boat landings,
Ross had remained quietly in the hole
which he had dug under an old shed
and carefully prepared until he
thought the hunt for him had sub
sided.
Ross was a carpenter by trade and
as a trusty in the prison with a record
for good behavior he had the run Of
the outer yard and buildings, which
gave him opportunity to prepare his
coffin-like lair, which he lined with
boards and stored with food and water
to last several days. In some manner
he also obtained an old suit of clothes
and at the first opportunity doffed
his prison stripes. When he thought
that the coast was clear and found
his supplies running low, he ventured
forth only to be captured Immediately.

FRIEERICHSHAFE Aug. A.
Arising from it's floating dock on the
dark green waters of Lake Constance
early this morning, the great dirigible
airship of Count Zeppelin was sent
away for a twenty-four hours journey
in the air to Mayence and return
Late tonight the apex Of the trian-
gular flight had been turned and the
monster of the air. with nose pointed
southward, was reported speeding
along under starry skies toward Fried
richshafen, where it is hoped the
Journey will end Wednesday.
The flight to Mayence. however, was
not an uninterrupted one, for some-
thing went wrong with a propeller
while the ship was speeding along
above the valley of the Rhine, and
Count Zeppelin was compelled to bring
the airship down to the surface of the
river at Nackheim, eight miles from
AEayence, where repairs were effected.
The dirigible balloon was again sent
high and the trip that probably will
prove a record one was recommended.

BOY IS CRUSHED
BY STREET CAR
LAD FALLS FROM BICYCLE
UNDER TROLLEY
FATALLY INJURED, PARENTS
GRIEF PITIABLE
Otto Winter, Fifteen Years Old, Rides
Wheel Beside Track and Is
Thrown Beneath the
Trucks

Otto Winter the 15-year-old son of
Carl Winter, a laborer living at 5O5
Commercial street, was fatally in
iured in street car accident at
Forty-fifth street and Central ave-
nue. late yesterday afternoon.
The boy was riding his bicycle south
on Central avenue, between tracks,
holding to the handrail of the forward
gangway of a southbound Central ave-
nue. car. The bicycle, which had a
coaster brake, was running easily on
the smooth asphalt pavement, but at
the intersection of Forty-fifth street
struck a small boulder which was lying
there and the forward wheel of the
machine was swerved into the step of
the car and the boy thrown beneath the
car and underneath the truck.
He was dragged quite distance be-
fore the motorman could bring his car
to a stop, and the boy, insensible, was
found beneath the center of the car,
the rear wheel of the truck having
passed over him.
AS hurriedly as possible he was
taken to a nearby house, his wounds
were bound up to stop the flow of
blood and he was then taken to the
receiving hospital. where DR.. e. II.
Wiley attended him.
It was found that his skull was
left side broken, his right leg crushed
near the knee and his left crushed at
the ankle 1t addition to this, there
was a gaping wound on the right side
of his face near the temple, and his
body bore a score or more of lacera-
tionS.
Normal salt solution and heart stim-
ulants were at once given him and his
wounds bound up, after which he was
put to bed to recover If possible from
the shock.
1t is doubtful, according to the sur
geons, If the boy lives to be operated
upon, as he will have to be, and it is
more doubtful If he has strength to
survive such operation in case 1t
should be performed.
Both parents of the little fellow were
at the hospital shortly after the ac-
cident, and their grief was pitiable.
According to the statement of wit
nesses on the car the boy was warned
several times to release his hold on
the car but while he swerved away
from the car at stops returned to his
place as soon as the car started up.

VERNON, Conn, Aug. 4.-John Zett,
a larmer living on the Boston road near
here, today killed his wife and grand
daughter and tried to kill his son,
using a sledgehammer and a knife.
Zett was arrested and taken to Rock

Zett was a Bohemian by birth and
lived in farmhouse with his son and
son-in-law. His son, who had been in

was saving wood in the yard. The son
remarked to his father:
Where are ma and the girl?" mean

Zett replied that they were out berry,

The son went into the house. The
father followed and tried to hit him
with a sledgehammer. In the struggle
which ensued the son took the hammer
away from his father and defended
himself so vigorously that he broke two
of the fathers ribs,
After overpowering his father the
son searched the premises and found
the body of his little niece with her
throat cut. Not for away in the yard
was the body of his mother, who had
been struck on the head with the ham,
mer.
She was just alive but could not be
saved. Zett had also made an attack
upon his daughter, Mrs. Albert Kloet-
ger, before the killing of the others.
