BITTEN, Roy CAPTURES SNAKE.
Applies Reptiles Liver to Wound
4 and Saves His Life.
(News and Courier. }

% Kingstree, June 5.-One Of the
most remarkable acts Of courage and
presence Of mind that this cores
{nondent has ever heard of was that
OF a small negro boy, about 10 years
old, Melvin McClam by name. 1t ap-
pears that he was in the river near
this place fishing Saturday of last
week, and in swimming across one
of the lakes was bitten by a water
rattler, Just behind the ear. The
BOY caught the snake by it's head
and swan on across the lake with 1t.
immediately upon landing, he killed
the snake and drew out his pocket
knife, cutting the snake open; he
obtained its liver and placed it di-
recty over the bite. 1t evidently
acted like magic, for other than a
little swelling the boy is apparently
all right.
Z. 1t is possible that the boy had
heard from some source that this
was an infallible cure, accounting for
his doing SO, but the remarkable
feat was his catching the snake and
the courage displayed in applying
MS only known remedy.

BUMPER CROP IS PROMISED.
Government Report Indicates Crop
Of 100000 Bales.

Washington, June 3.-Present in
d1cations point to this years cotton
crop as the largest the country has
ever produced, according to govern
ment experts. based on the statistics
of condition and on the averages for
the previous ten years, the crop will
be greater by about 2,500,000 bales
than the average, and larger by
nearly 100000 bales than the Big
gest crop the country ever raised
that Of 1904.
Providing conditions as favorable
as those which have prevailed during
the past ten years continue during
this season, there should be harvest
ed more than 14,000,n00 bales, the
previous maximum In 1904 having
been 13,500.000 bales and the aver
age for the past ten years II 100000
bales.
AS shown by to-day's report of
conditions on May 25, cotton should
yield 1913 pounds per acre compared
with an average of 1924 pounds dur
ing the past ten years.
But Rain is Needed.
New Orleans, La, June 5.-This
week in the cotton market nearly
everything but the weather will be
lost sight Of. 1t Is generally ac-
knowledged that the crop Is fast get
ting into critical condition as the
result Of protracted drouth and high
temperatures. At the end of last
week there was no relief in sight on
the weather map, and If the week
opens with dry and hot map the
chances are that sensational rise
in prices will take place and that
new high levels for the season will
be established on the new crop
months.
1T Is seldom that at this time Of
the year the cotton belt has suffered
such uniformly bad weather. Accord
ing to both private and official re-
ports, every State in the cotton belt
needs good rains. The high temper
ature would not be a dra wback in
most localities If sufficient moisture
were falling to keep the plant grow
ing. Warm nights right now are an
advantage that the crop seldom has.
Without rain, however, the high tenn
peratures are adding to the injury
being worked.
At the end Of last week the worst
comp laints were coming from the
Carolinas, parts of Oklahoma, Texas,
Mississippi and Louisiana. All other
States, however, needed rain, but not
as badly as the ones mentioned. 1t
was claimed that in parts OF Missis-
sippi cotton was failing to germi-
nate because of the excessive dry
ness Of the soil.
Should these conditions be relieved |
this week the trade will again take !
