WHY SURPRISED?

The Democratic papers in Virgins
have been expressing much surprise at
the magnitude of the vote announced as
having been cast at the recent Demo-
cratic primary. And the Democratic
leaders have also been pretending to be
astonished by the large vote that they
say was cast. Why should the papers
in question be surprised? They are run
by men of more than ordinary intelli-
gence, and most of them had been fret
ting over the extraordinary delay with
which the returns were sent in.
These Democratic newspapers also
know how the present managers of the
party have in past years delayed and
tempered with the returns at general
elections to the injury of the Republi
can party Some of them have boldly
admitted such frauds and attempted to
justify them by claiming that the crook
ed worn was done to protect the State
from negro domination. Other news
papers have admitted the facts and
frankly avowed that the frauds were
committed for 70 other purpose than to
elect Democrats over Republicans. We
cite in proof of this the controversy
that took place between the Richmond
News Leader, the Danville Register,
the Farmville Herald and other Demo-
cratic papers during and immediately
following the Rhea investigation.
The Democratic Machine was never
more eager to defeat the Virginia Re-
publcans at general election than it
was to crush the anti-machine Demo-
Gratis in the recent primary. The very
existence of the Machine was depen-
dent upon accomplishing that end.
With so much at stake, is it probable
that the Machine would be less con-
scienceless in its treatment of the hated
recalcitrants in its own party than it
had previously been in its treatment of
the Republicans?
1t Is well known that all kinds of |
schemes were used to prevent the anti
machine men from taking part in the
primary. The pledge was placed upon
the ballots used at nearly all the pre-
cincts, and was left off at a few for a
purpose. The tone of the Machine
press and leaders was such as discour-
aged the anti-machine Democrats from
voting in the primary, and the accom-
plishments on that line certainly con-
tributed materially to the defeat of Mr..
Tucker and Mr.. Brown.
When the reports from the primary
began TO pour in, the meagre vote was
a subject for general comment by the ,
press and the people who take an interest .
In politics. The result excited consterna- {
ton In Democratic ranks, and made the I
Machine realize that its successful effort t
TO keep the anti-machine Democrats e
from voting was likely to bring disaster
1t the general election in November. f
had to be done to break the s
orce of the blow that had been given S
" the stay-at-home vote. What was I
nore natural than that the Machine 8

o fight, between four brothers,
two on one side and two Oh the
other, that recently took place In
the waters of Richard son creek,
in Burnsvllle township, that was
a hot number while itlasted. Ac-
cording to the story told by the

the creek when a brother on one
side told the brother on the other
side that he was not holdlne his
seine right. The d-m lie was
then passed aud all four of the
men went at 1T hammer and tongs.
The fight continued for s. me time
in the creek one, Of the brothers
being held under the water until
he was almost strangIed. Fin
ally the men rnached the bank of
the stream where the fight was
continued by a brother on both
sides until the face of each of the
G 1mbatants was beaten black and
blue. The men at last deslsted
from sheer exaustion, neither of
them having conquered the other,
All parties have since made friends

About Snakes.

Major George W. Clegg, who Is
we'll acquainted with the habits of
snakes, called at The Landmark
office this week to say that while
some people might not believe the
Anson county story of the king
snake swallowing the rattler (told
by tho Wadesboro Messenger and
copied in the last issue of The
Landmark }, he knew it was true
because he had witnessed similar
occurrence many years ago. In
this case the victim of the king
snake was moccasin, larger than
the king snake but about q foot
shorter. Major Clegg's attention
was called TO the snakes while
the king snake was squeezing the
life out of the moccasin. Then
the swallowing process began and
the major watched it through, al
though it took the king snake
about three hours 20 get the moe
casin down. When he had finish
ed he was 80 full he couldn't
crawl. Major Clegg laid him in
the corner of the fence and saw
him no more, but supposes he
survived.
As to snakes laying eggs, the
major says poisonous snakes do
not lay eggs but the non poison
Gus do.
The king snake, while perfectly
harmless, is theking Of all snake g..
AS to the poisonous snakes, we
understand that there are only
three in this class to be found in
North Carolina. They are the
rattlers and copperheads, which
are pretty common throughout
the State, and the cotton mouth,
only found in the flat country in
the east. Some say the spredad-
der and moccasin are also pois-
onous, both of which, we believe,
lay eggs.-ED. WATcHMAN.
