ONE CERTAIN LINE OF SAFETY
Avoidance Of Loss Of Life Through
Snake Bite Reduced to the
Minimum.

In the handling of snakes both
natives of India, in spite of all the
chicanery which is mixed up with
snake-charming, and, even more
conspicuously, perhaps, the Moqui
Indians of North America, acquire
a dexterity and apparent immunity
from danger which seem unattain-
able by white men; and perplexing
tales are told of the magical efficacy
Of snake-stones, as used by Indian
snake-catchers, in the cure of the
bites of both cobra and kraft, on au-
thority so distinguished that science,
with all its superciliousness, cannot
altogether disregard them. But as
a general rule it may be laid down
that, for man or mongoose, the only
certain safety lies in keeping out
side the range of being bitten. For
tunately snake, "more suBtil than
any beast of the field" rarely goes
out of its way to attack.

ISOKE TURNED ON THE JOKER
Scheme OF "Soclal Climber" that
Didn't Turn out Just as II
Was Intended.

Two women who live on country
places near Philadelphia are great
friends and great rivals. Each has
long desired that her husband buy
her an automobile; each has feared
lest the other attain the object of
her desire first.
e Not long ago a small man, who
is well known in financial circles,
called at the home of one of these
women and suggested that he take
! the young woman to call on her
friend. The invitation was accept
cd.
"You get under the seat, l want
Mrs. - to think this is my car"

unable to conceal her vexation.
"'Well, my Harry shall buy me one
Iat once" After a time the car drove
Aaway with the broker still under the
seat.
The joke in the end was on the

GOVERNMENT NOT IN
MARKET FOR SILVER

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 1s.-The direc-
tor of the mint has announced that there
is no immediate prospect or purchasing more
silver in the future. About $21, ,O0O 900
in the subtreasuries and mints are held by
the government, and this supply being ade-
quate to take care of the business of the
country, remains about stable the redeposits
with the government about equaling the with
drawals.
Some of this silver 1t is true, is being used
by the government in purchasing gold bullion.
but otherwise the stock on hand is decreasing
but slightly. 1t is not expected that this
money will be drawn on TO any considerable
extent until business opens up within about
two months time. Then 1t will depend upon
whether the summer will cause the country
to experience any extraordinary prosperity be-
fore It is likely that the stock of silver will
decrease. This at least will postpone the
necessity of purchasing silver 1t is believed
until next winter.
Rumors of various kinds have been in cir
cuation as to what the government intends
10 do about the "Lincoln pennies bearing
the initials Of the designer. The Impression
has falsely spread abroad that they are
TO be redeemed at considerable profit to the
holders. The government is not considering
the retirement Of the issue.

ANNOUNCES HIS ANDIDACY
Goes on Record As Opposing

Cheaper Necessities of Life,
Wants Improved Agricultural
Conditions, and Pledges Him
self to the Improvement of
Public Roads

William schley Howard, solicitor of the
Stone Mountain judicial circuit. is out
with formal announcement of his candi-
dacy for congress against Col. Lon Liv-
ingston.
William Schley Howard is one of the
most popular young men in the state
and has been in politics since early man
hood. He is the son of the late Col. Thorn
as C. Howard and was born In Kirkwood.
25 years ago. After attending school to
Prof. Charles NJ. Neil at Moreland park
he was admitted to the bar in 1896. In
1900 he was elected member of the
house of representatives from DeKalt
county. He was the author of the How
ard franchise tax bill which yielded to the
state $456,000 in revenue during 1909, was
author of the bill to elect railroad conn.,
missioners by the people and of several
other measures.
In 1904 he was elected solicitor Of the
Stone Mountain judicial circuit by ma
jority of 1850 votes over the nearest COM
peitor in a field ftive, two of whom
were from his home county. He was re-
elected in 1908. Mr. Howard has been

quarrel But in December, while they
were living in washington, Mrs. Tillman
had a sudden and desperate illness. Her
husband, she declares, provided no nurse
for her, and showed no attentions to her.
On the first day of her convalescence, he
came to the apartments and asked to
take the two children to see their grand
mother.
LOSES HER CHILDREN.
Mrs. sTTlman assented, but the children
protested and had to be forced to go to
their grandmother. Mrs. Tillman has NOT
seen her little ones since that hour-De-
cember g. In the afternoon Tillman came
back without them. He told his wife that
their grandmother had taken the chill
dren and had gone to South Carolina with
the little ones.
A few days thereafter, Mrs. Tillman
was informed by attorneys for Senator
Tillman that the father of the little ones
had made and recorded a regular deed in
which the custody of the children is given
to the grandparents until the little girls
become of age.
The deed on file with the clerk of court
at Edgefield shows that young Tillman,
after alleging his wife's inability to raise
them properly, admits that he is also I'M
willing to assume the responsibility.
Mrs. Humans lawyers have been get
ting afidavits from the best citizens of
EdgefieId to show that she is a loving and
painstaking mother, and that she is f.
nancially responsible, having a plantation
which brings an annual rental of over
$1,000. The afidavits will declare that the
mother is far more suited to raise the
children than their grandparents, who are
away from home half the time, and for
other reasons.
