Snakes of East Africa.

For m thing East Africa must
have credit; snakes are not numer-
Gus, as they are in the South, at least
I have eve een many. There are
pythons, but they do not appear to
be dangerous. I shall never forget
how, down in South Africa, during
the war, I once awoke and found a
black Mwamba in bed with me.
This snake is absolutely deadly. 1t
frightened me SO that after the whole
thing was over / went out and was
sick. Fortunately l was quite ig-
norant of the fact that it was under
the blankets with me, and rolled out
unconcernedly. Had known it was
there, in all probability it would
have struck me.-Forest and Stream.

PLAN TO ELIMINATE NEGRO
Labor Unions Want Black Man
Barred From Industry.
Federal Power Invoked to Forward
Mails on the Georgia
Railroad.

Atlanta, Ga. The strike of the
white firemen of the Georgia Rail-
road against the employment of ne
groes is the opening of the campaign
by labor unions to destroy the negro
ns an industrial factor, according to
General Manager Thomas K. Scott,
Of the railroad.
There is in this affair."" said Mr..
Scott, "a menace of such gravity that
the details of it should be understood
by every ~Southerner.
This strike is the first step of a
movement which is planned to even
tuate in the abolition of the negro as
an industrial factor. 1t is the skir-
mish of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and .Enginemen in its
plan to drive the negro out of en-
ployment on railroads altogether.
"The plan has been smouldering
for five years, and this strike on the
Georgia Railroad is the first STEP"
The engineers will not aid the
striking firemen. F. e. Burgess, as
sistant grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, who is
here, says that as long as the road
lives up to it's contract with the engi-
neers the engineers will live up to
their contract with the road.

informed that his sister, for whose
sake the killing had been done, would
not go upon the witness stand and
perjure herself to save his life, Car
ter, who was twenty-six years old,
maintained a bold front.
His nerve broke, however, when
she weepingly said that If called as a
witness for the defense she would tell
the whole truth. Young Carter
knew that meant two things. One
was that the details of former per-
jury by members of the family would
be spread broadcast. The other was
that he would be convicted of murder
and probably suffer a felon's death.
He decided to end it all with a pistol
bullet.
