A Good Time at Bethel.

On last Thursday the good people
of vhe Bethel community met at
Bethel church on the old Charleston
road to celebrate Children's Day. The
church was filled to overfiowing and
everyone enjoyed the delightful pro-
gram and much credit is due the
efficient superintendent, Mr.. w. R..
Austin, for the training of the chill
dren, assisted by Miss Maize Sandle.
The songs and recitations were en-
tered into heartily. Then came the
time of all times when dinner was
announced. Mr.. Editor, you could
not imagine how the table was load
ed; roast pigs could be seen on all
sides, and after every one had fin
ished, the table seemed scarcely to
have been touched, but this is usual
for the Bethel folks, as they can't
be beat for hospitality when given a
chance After dinner the courting
couples were numerous and every
one seemed to have been pleased
with the day. Visitor.

BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE.
Two Chicken Cases Tried by Magis-
trate Brunson.

Joe Guinyard, had been treating
his wife very badly and when she got
sick, refused to take the necessary
care of her. His wife, who had some
relatives nearby, went to them and
then sent some one for a couple Of
chickens which she had left with
Joseph. But the messenger made a
mistake and got Joe's little game
rooster and sold it. That was where
the trouble started, and Joe wished
to persecute the woman for theft,
but the court ruled that wife
could not steal from her husband.
The next case was that there were
fifteen chickens living somewhere on
Fair street, which both Hattie Muir
ray and Martha Geiger claimed as
their seperate property. AS result
of the trial the chickens will be left
out and where they go to roost, there
will be where the ownership is.

A RATTLkR KILLED
IN A FAIR FIGHT BY A PLUCKY
SCOTCH TERRIER.
The Snake Measured Over Ten Feet
Long and Had Twelve Rattles and

q Button.
In a battle between scotch ter
rier belonging to Franklin Drew, a
farmer at Richards, six miles south
of Kingville, and diamond rattler,
the dog, although bitten in the
mouth, killed the snake, chewing the
head off. The best part of the story
is that the plucky little dog was saw
ed by his master, who extracted the
poison by a liberal use of kerosene.
The Matagorda Tribune tell OF the
encounter thus:
Franklin Drew had an exciting ex-
perience last Saturday evening with
a huge diamond rattler while water
ing some plants in his yard. He
heard a vigorous rattling few yards
away and called to his dog, which
was playing just beyond where the
serpent lay colled ready for &C
ton. Mr.. Drew was fearful the anil
NAL might attack the snake.
When the dog responded to the
call the rattler uncoiled swiftly and
struck the dog in the mouth, the
fangs penetrating the lower lip. The
dog Immediately sprang in, and,
catching the head between his teeth,
literally cheWed it off and swallowed
it.
Mr.. Drew ran in upon the fighting
pair, but was unable to interfere un-
til after the dog had dispatched the
snake and shook the lifeless form
vigorously. Mr.. Drew noticed that
the dog had been bitten in a vital
spot. The head Immediately began
to swell until, within an hour, 1t
was twice its normal size.
He applied kerosene oil literally
to the wound for about thirty minu-
tes, after which he noticed the green
colored poison begin to ooze out.
He applied several other well known
antidotes, and after severe suffering
for three days the dog began to show
signs of Improvement and Is now
considered out of danger.
The snake measured ten and
three-founrts feet and had twelve
rattles and button. Mr.. Drew en-
deavored to save the reptiles skin
as a trophy, but it had been too
badly disfgured and torn by the
frantic animal. The poison taken
inwardly by the dog swallowing the
serpent's head it was feared would
have disastrous results, but Mr..
Drew states that the animal appar-
emily did not suffer much, II any,
from this source.

THE MAYORS COURT.
Three Cases Tried on Monday Morn
ing and Convicted.

Legrand Scott, who was tried on
Saturday, July II, for vagrancy but
who was dismissed, was again up be-
fore the mayor on yesterday charged
with assaulting and robbing Walter
Jackson on Saturday night. The
amount in the case being "A cents.
He plead not guilty to the charge,
but the lost of "A cents were still
fresh in the mind of Walter and he
was convicted. The Mayor gave him
SIS or 80 days. Had Legrand been a
national bank he would have paid
the find and gone to France, but the
~saddest words in history or pen,
it might have BEEN, so Legrand will
grace the gang for thirty days.
Martha Johnson, charged with be-
ing drunk and disorderly, plead gull
ty. She received $40 or twenty-five
days or the permission to retire to
her country estates for some time.

cepted the banishment, and when the

was no longer resident of this city.
D. V. Perry, was charged with as
sault and battery of high and ag-
gravated nature upon the person of
Thomas Cameron, fellow passenger

night. Both seemed to be very mel

Calhoun county it has been transfer
ed to that county for trial. The
participants in this fray were both
white men.

Purely q Moral Question.

The American Brewers Review, a
paper published in the interest of
the brewers of beer, hits the nail on
the head when it says: The social
ed personal liberty argument in be-
half of alcoholic drink loses more
and more of its force. Consideration
of the public welfare continues to
grow and overshadow the rights of
the individuals. The drink question
must be fought out upon the ultimate
foundation of morals, hygiene and
social order, in other words the pub
lie welfare. If the public welfare re-
quire the suppression Of alcoholic
drink traffic it should be suppressed. :"
That is the whole thing in nut
shell.

LOOKS AT THE CROPS.
"Uncle Jack" Thinks They Have
Greatly Improved.

On Thursday evening I had the
pleasure of seeing the crops along
the road from Orangeburg to Rowes-
VILE as far as Mr.. R. Fulton Dukes,
and must say that the cotton has
made marked improvements in the
last two weeks. Ex-Sheriff John H.
Dukes has fine field near the city
and many others have small fields
that promise we'll. Mr.. Funderburk
will perhaps make as much per acre
as anyone on the road. But in CIV
ing credit for the best farming as
see it, I always take in to considera-
ton the number of acres in this
letter must say that my friend, Full
ton Dukes takes the kettle.
1t was to his beautiful and shady
home that l stopped, and with Full
ton was driven over his farm Of 25O
or 200 acres of corn and cotton that
is a credit to any one man. OF his
155 acres of cotton, 1 would suppose
there are 100 acres that will give
him 100 bales, but did not begin
to scratch my head until he took me
all through his brag corn, fifteen
acres of which I pronounced the
hest I ever saw. Not that I believe
that it will make the most corn to
the acre of any little plot I ever saw.
But, oh my, the judgment he used to
get such ears. I do not think
found half a dozen barren stalks IN
our whole ramble, and l think
could just break seventy ears most
anywhere that would shell out a
bushel.
I suggested to Fulton (and I be-
lieve 1t took well) that he save that
field for seed corn, and If he does,
he will sell the last ears at reason
able price. It would make this ar
ticle too long to tell of the many con-
veniences at this beautiful country
home. Suffice it to say that there
are water works, electric lights from
the kitchen to horse lot and gin
house, with fine Jersey COWS and
young mules to show you, and more
to follow.
Now for the very best and largest
watermelons for the second time,
and my buggy so full that I had to
give away sme on the road. All
pleasant visits must end and so did
this one, but I expect to go again
soon, and hope to find his better
half at home, who holds the keys to
the thing that the writer loves SO
we'll that Fulton dared not show me.
