SNAKES DISCUSSED.
Clemson College Science Club Con-
sidcrs Serpent Family.

The last monthly meeting Of the
Clemson College Science Club, held
the last week in May, was taken
up with the discussion of serpents.
The only subject on the program for
discussion was Snakes and Snakes
Ways" by A. f. Conradi, entomolo-
gist Of the South Carolina Expert
ment Station. Some Of the interest
ing facts brought out about snakes
are summed up below.
About rs per cent of the snakes of
North American are non-poisonous.
There are only four genera of poison
GUS snakes: Rattlesnakes, water
moccasins, copperheads and harle-
quin snakes. There are, Of course,
several varieties of each OF these
genera. No striped snake is poison
Gus. The non-poisonous snakes bite
in the ordinary fashion, closing down
on the object with the jaws; the
poisonous snakes coil and strike"
from the coiled position. Non-pois-
onous snakes lay eggs and hatch the
young; poisonous snakes give birth
to the living young.
After the discussion of the ques-
ton Of snakes the annual election
Of officers was held.

MIR. GORE AsToNIsHEs SENATE.
Oklahoma's Blind Senator Has a
Marvellous Memory.

Washington, June 3.-Senator
Gore astonished the Senate yesterday
by the citation Of a long list of cot
ton and wollen manufacturing COM
panies and giving their earnings,
capital stock, surplus, etc. He un-
dertook to show that corporations
engaged in the cotton and wollen in
dustries are making very large earn
ings. The ,peech was one that no
other Senator would have attempted
without constant reference to notes,
but the blind statesman from the
Southwest found no difficulty in CIV
ing off-hand the greatest variety of
details without the ability to assist
his memory in any way.
Referring to the cotton and VOL
len manufacturers, and with rasp-
ing and sinister tone, the Oklahoma
Senator said he did not blame them
for their large earnings
81 know they are intelligent citi-
zens," he said, Judging from their
business success and from their Sc
lection of United States Senators"

a Western man, "and he's got a gen.

The stranger was Col. Jones, for

Its cattalo coat" he exclaimed
proudly. "one i raised myself out on

in Arizona, six hundred miles from
nowhere. And 1t knocks anything i

colonel explained. I've been at it
now twenty years and got something.
They call me the animal Burbank

the greatest of all combination ami

said, lis sheep that Is half broad

Persiarino is half Persian and half

off the pampered animals of the ef-
fete East and foreign parts. They
don't need barns that cost more than
they are worth to shelter 'em. They
are careless about grief. They can
come home in the dark, too. have
taken 'em fifty miles from home and
they have come straight back in a
snowstorm. Common sheep would
have been lost within fifty feet. They
will get up on rocks and fight wolves
when pressed. But l lost 142 lambs
through wolves in Arizona last
spring, so I've moved the outfit to
Kansas. I've got 100 head of the
cattalo and 500 bead of the sheep.
But the greatest story OF the
range is my new kind of goat-the
Gorisin. It's Go for goat, Ri FOR Me-
rino and Sin for Persian. They are
quarter strains of Go and Ri and a
half Of Sin. 1t lives on greasewood,
sage brush and cactus"

Washington, June "a new
counterfeit IS silver certificate has
come to the at sntion of the secret
service bureau. 1t is of the series OF
1889 (Indlan head) and is photo
mechanical production printed on
bond paper of good quality, blue ink
lines having been used to initiate
the silk fiber of the genuine.
According to Acting Chief Moran,
of the bureau, the poor character of
workmanship on the Indian head,
should be the means Of detecting the
counterfeit now in circulation.
The color and workmanship of the
blue seal, and numbers, and large
numerals are far from inferior, the
back of the note being especially de-
ceptive.

CHIEF OF POLICE ARRESTED.
Batesburg Has Case that Looks Like
Persecution.
(News and Courier Special

lINeWS anu SOuttSl cpSSiui
Lexington, June 2.--John J. Oar
by, chief OF police of the town OF
Batesburg, was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Sim j, Miller Ypon a
warrant sworn out by woman of
that town, charging him with assault
with intent to ravish. Mr.. Darby
was brought to Lexington and was
Immediately released upon a $4,000
bond, signed by M. e. Rutland and
]. A. Whitten, of Batesburg.
The crime is alleged to have been
1eommitted on or about the 7th day
of February, this year. Mr. Darby
and his friends declare that he is
innocent, and that 1t is concocted
scheme to injure him because OF his
untiring efforts in rounding up the
band of thieves, who had been ope-
rating in Batesburg. fer several
weeks, anu which finally resulted in
the arrest of three young men. Mr..
Darby employed two detectives to
work up the case, and one of the
men arrested was the son Of the wo-
man who has brought the warrant
against Darby. This, it Is alleged,
incensed the woman, and the arrest
of Mr.. Darby upon the very serious
charge of attempted criminal assault
followed yesterday. The fact that
more than three months were allowed
IN n1or hnfr,a p1,
rant, the friends of the chief assert,
shows conclusively that it is con-
cocted scheme.
1t is said that strong evidence
against the wo,lan Is on hand, and
3 her arrest on several charges will
probably follow within the next day
or two.
The woman is a widow, her hus-
band having died about two years
ago. She has been operating board
ing house in Batesburg since her
husbands death. 1t Is said that she
will enter suit against the town of
Batesburg for 100000 for having
removed from her home an electric
light meter.
Mr.. Darby moved from Chester to
Batesburg about two years ago, and
has made most excellent police Of
ticer. He has been unrelenting in his
efforts to put the ban OH crime of all
kinds in the town, and has made a
host of friends. 1t is said that the
town of Batesburg will "stand by"
him in this trouble, and that he will
have no trouble in making a strong
defence. His arrest caused no little
sensation at Batesburg

WOULDN'T GO BACK To Old Days of Coffee Troubles.

Studious, sedentary habits are apt to cause indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous headaches, etc., but often it's the daily use of coffee that is at the bottom of the whole trouble, and it Is surprising how quickly these troubles disappear when coffee is dropped and well-made Postum Is the daily beverage
 A No. Dak. minister writes of the relief obtained when he changed from coffee to Postum. He says:
 T began using Postum about year ago while stopping at the home of friends dur ing the absence of my wife.
 ''It seemed almost providential, for during that time I got rid of coffee and It's attendant ills. I used to have bilious attacks about every two weeks that completely used me up for a day or two at time.
 'I did not suspect coffee and was unable to account for these attacks. Since be- gan Postum I have had but one slight at- tack and the change to restored health Is most acceptable.
 nothing would induce her to give up cof- fee, but after few careful preparations of Postum according to directions on pkg. she thought 1t was superior to coffee in flavor, and now we would not change back to coffee. ttt
 I've feel we owe a debt of gratitude to Postum which has done so much for all of us--children and older ones"
