FLUNG AGAINST POLE.
Mr.. Harry Byrd, of Branchville,
Badly Hurt.

Branchville, August 20.-Yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Harry Byrd, rural
mail carrier for Route. No. 3 from
this place, came very near meeting
with a fatal accident while horse
back riding. Mr.. Byrd has a beauti-
full Indian pony and was riding in q
pretty fast gallop and just as he was
about to pass a telegraph pole that
stands on the street in front OF the
Methodist parsonage, he tried to
guide the pony to the right of the
pole. In a moment the pony darted
to the left of the pole and as she did
she dashed by the pole and struck
Mr.. Byrd's face against the pole. Mr.,
Byrd was knocked unconscious and
the physician says that if Mr.. Byrds
face had struck the pole few inches
higher up on the side Of his head
that it would have killed him Instant
ly. Mr.. Byrd is better this morning
and his many friends hope for him q
speedy recovery.

PROHIBITION IN SPRINGFIELD.
Opening Chapter Of New Dispensa-
ton in Orangeburg County Town.

Springfield, S. c., August 1s.-1t
has not been very generally known
that one of the Ringing Brothers in
tended to make sojourn in or about
the town of Springfield, but the same
appears to have been the case, as
package of Old Rye Whiskey made
it's appearance in the express Office
here a day or two ago addressed to
J. G. Ringing. A careful inquiry
developed the fact that no such party
had been seen or heard of since the
appearance of the famous show peo-
pie in Columbia several years ago.
Consequently Mayor Jones called a
council of war this morning which
declared said package to be contra
band, and subject to seizure and con-
fscation. Hastily gathering the
elect, carefully guarded by the high
sheriff of this burg, the mighty caval-
cade descended en- masse upon the
express Office and laying violent
hands upon the spiritual product OF
the liquor house, the aforesaid pack
age was carried out, in and upon the
open streets, or highway of the town
as aforesaid, and then and there the
streets of the said town of Spring
field were deluged with the fiery
fluid; the vessels being broken, and
the contents thereof spit upon and
trodden under foot, amid the lamen-
tations and protests of many of the
inhabitants of the said town.
Thus begins the first chapter of
prohibition in the town Of Spring
field.

Opposes Equality for Colored Race

London, August 16.-The house of
commons tonight unanimously pass
ed the second reading of the South
African constitution bill. In the
course of the debate ex-Prime Minis
ter Balfour said that the public in
dealing with the question of con-
stitution for the federation of South
Africa colonies-the Transvaal, Cape
Colony, the Orange River Free State
and Natal-was discussing one of the
most important events in the history
of the British empire.
The race problem, Mr.. Balfour said,
was but fractional part of the great
questions parliament was now de-
Gliding. He strongly denied that it
was intended to give the colored
races equality with Europeans, de-
claring that so far as the govern
ment, society and the higher forms of
civilization were concerned it would
be impossible to give equal RESPONSE
bility to the colored race without
threatening the whole fabric of civili-
cation.

SNAKE COLLECTORS ESCAPE.
The Tale of an Old Adventure IL
Northern Brazil.

Edward NJ. Cooper's article on
South America, and his reference to
it's poisonous snakes, reminds me OF
an interesting adventure of a friend
of mine in Northern Brazil, says a
writer in the London Saturday Re-
view.
NV friend was making collection
of the poisonous snakes of the neigh
borhood, and as everyone around us
was aware of the fact many gifts OF
the kind were offered to him. One
evening he was waiting at a table in
our hut when a local person brought
him a small living specimen of one of
the most deadly poisonous snakes OF
the neighborhood. My friend, who
was very busy, asked him to put it in
a glass jar on the table, which was
accordingly done.
Unfortunately the hot night air and
other soporific influences proved too
much for my friends waking powers.
He went to sleep with his head on the
table, and slept peacefully till awak-
ened by a fearful crash. He had
knocked the table over, with the lamp
on it; the lamp had naturally been
put out and, as his senses slowly re-
turned the awakened sleeper remem-
bered that the glass jar also had fall
len on the floor and the snake must
now be loose.
Obviously the best thing to do was
to Jump on the bed and shout for
help and light. But the hut was
empty, and no help came. One could
not spend the night standing on a
bed roaring for help; so, as there was
only space of about eight feet be-
tween him and the door, the snake
collector jumped down from the bed
resolved to make a rush for it. He
had taken his boots off at an early
part of the evening, and as he jump
ed he felt sharp, vicious nip in thG
heel of his right foot.
My friend was a person with plenty
of cool presence of mind. A servant
entered the hut at the moment. He
summoned him, told him curtly that
he had not five minutes to live, anc
proceeded to dictate will and vari
GUS directions to his travelling conf
panions and one or two other pei
sons. But death tarried an unac
countably long time, and present.!
the reason of this was apparent. The
snake was curled up in a far corner
of the room, swaying and Kissing an
grily, and my friend had jumped of
the bed on a piece of broken glass
with which the room was literall!
strewn.
