night by the Leading officials and

guests came there was not room for

other restaurant.
The evenings fare was entirely

FAD DWELLING in ODD NEST
Deadly "carolina TarantuIa" Caught
by Boys on Plantation In
That State.

Mr.. A. w. Pickens OF Garvin town
ship brought to this ONCE Saturday an
enormous spider which he called a
Carolina tarantula. 1t was captured
by some boys on his plantation.
The spider was an inch and halt
long and half an inch broad before
having been killed and drawn to its
smallest compass. Before being killed
Il was much larger The animal was
equipped with ten legs, four at the
PROV and six at the stern, and a par
ticularly wicked looking mouth The
bite of this spider. Mr.. Pickens says,
Is as deadly as that of rattlesnake.
Some boys on Mr. Pickens' planta-
tion found a peculiar looking hole in
the ground and decided to investigate.
After digging for a while they came
upon an odd looking nest. Prying It
open they found the spider inside.
The nest was provided with trap
door, which the spider could close
after himself as he went into the nest.
and would be safe from lntruders. Mr..
Pickens brought the nest TO the city
with him. 1t was a very ingeniously
contrived affair and was of almost as
much interest as the spider Itself

Few people realize the fierce battle
that is being waged by the special in
terests against the payment Of such
taxes as the income tax and the gross
production tax, also the regular tax
assessment against several of the cor
porations including some of the rail
roads, the Pullman company and the
Western Union Telegraph company.
The paying of a just proportion of
taxes was new sensation to these in
terests and one which they do not in
the least relish hence they are all
taking their cases to the federal court
with the hopes of avoiding this and
future taxation

Rumor has it that thousand addi-

within the next few weeks. which
would make the marine garrison num-

of the Atlantic feet at the home ports.
at which time all the marines viii be

While the question may naturally be
asked, Why all these marines in addi-
ton to what we have? the answer NAV
be as Sphynx-Gke, Why the 400 in ad-
dition to the company originally sta
toned here? 1t is believed that at

their services are not needed at all,
even at pinch. Down here their ser
vices may be in greater demand. Who
