PYTHONS AS PETS.

The Man Liked Them, but They Were
Not Appreciated by His Wife.
An Englishman who spent much time
In Bengal tells in Blackwood's Maga-
zine about a couple of pythons that
were kept as pets He says:
Zone hears good deal about the
snakes. but one sees very little of them
at any time and in cold weather moth.
ing at all. Indeed. the only snakes /
saw were two great pythons which Il
planter kept in one of his indigo watts
for his private delectation. He loved to
watch them and feed them and poke
them with a stick and see their fiat,
vicious heads drive at it with the
speed and force of a steam hammer.
His wife liked them less because
one of them had once escaped from the
vat and wandered into her bedroom.
1t was daytime. and she was resting
from the heat. and hearing it advance,
breathing heavily. she thought it was
her somewhat asthmatical fox terrier
and told it to lie down. As it seemed
TO be making for her bed instead. she
looked up to find that it was one of the
pythons looking for a warm place in
which TO lie Her screams brought her
husband. who. annoyed by this esca-
pade of pet which his wife had new
err properly appreciated thoughtlessly
seized it by the neck. with the result
that in twinkling it had knotted itself
around his arm and nearly pulped it
before his bearer could arrive and get
it by the tail.
1.-TWO men. 1t seems, can deal with
python fairly effectively by grasping
each an end of it, thus preventing it
from weaving itself into the coils that
crush. But no single man is of much
use, for the reason that he cannot In
the nature of things grasp and keep
taut an eighteen foot length of with
ing muscle. The planter told me that,
as it was, his arm had turned black and
blue all over, as IL it had been squeezed
In heavy door, and 1T was weeks be-
fore he could use 1t. But be still loved
bis python"

London, Sept. 25.--The acrobatic
French airman, Alphonse Pegoud,
gave London an exhibition Of his
aerial sOmersaults and topsyturvy
flying at the Pendon areodrome this
afternoon. PegOud's remarkable ma

his aerOplane SO that it was at right
angles to the earth. He then pirOuet-
ted on the tip Of one wing and did
several dives with the nose Of his ma :
chine downward for 100 feet before he
regained> his equilibrium.
The aviator then rose to a height
Of 5000 feet and accomplished his
most sensational exploits. In the
swOop downward he threw the aero
plane on it's / ck, flew i'm this manner
for some seconds, righted his ma
chine and repeated the performance
before reaching the high ground.
where he was given an ovation.

Smith Lever Future Tax Bill Misin.
terpreted by Traders In New
Orleans. :.
New Orleans, Sept. 27.-News that
Majority Leader Underwood had in
troduced into the house the Smith
Lever cotton futures tax measure,
which traders here misinterpreted,
caused one Of the most remarkable
breaks the New Orleans cotton mar
ket has seen in some time. The re-
port was received only a few minutes
before the close Of the short trading
day and struck the market when it
was bound upward on continued bad
weather reports. New high levels Of
the season had been reached.
Immediately there was a rush to
unload and within a few minutes the
market was demOralized. Prices that
had stood 13 to 16 points over yes
terday's. close soon We're batterAh
down. The final gong sounded ainid
pandemonium when the market was
1S to ~ points under the highest of
the day.
Until the news everything seemed
favorable to the bulls. Rain was still
falling in the western half of the belt
and more was predicted for over Sun
day. Early reports from Washington
concerning futures tax legislation
News Of the introduction in the house
of the smith-Lever bill came as 4
great surprise.

MAD DOG BITS YOUNG MAN.
"uy wilson Bitten by French Poodle
Thursday Afternoon at Hotel Sum-
ter.

A french poodle belonging to S. H.
Reville, who stays at the Hotel Sum
ter Thursday afternoon bit Guy Will
son. son of the Rev. j. II. Wilson of
thls city. The dogs teeth grazed the
mans finger, drawing blood, although
not inliicting severe wound. 1t is
thought however that the dog was
mad and it was killed and it's head
sent to Columbia to the State labora-
tory for examination.
The dog was given to Mr.. Reville
several weeks ago shortly after it had
been bitten by another dog, which
was supposed to be mad and it's own
er wanted to kill it, Mr.. Reville ask
ing for the dog at the time. The dog
has been at the Hotel Sumter since
then and up to couple of days ago
seemed to be acting naturally.
Thursday afternoon Mr.. Geo. Jackson
was at the hotel and saw the dog,
acting peculiarly. He at once went
out on the street to find a policeman
to kill the dog, supposing it to be mad.
While he was gone Mr.. Wilson enter
ed the hotel and patted the dog on
the head. AS he did so it turned and
bit him. Policeman Chandler killed
the animal and Special Health Officer
Forbes sent the head off to Column
bia.

Capt. q. NJ. Hendrix Dead.

Cheraw. Sept. 24.-Capt G.. M.
Hendrix died at his late residence,
Cheraw, at O'colck this morning.
Born and reared in Greensboro, N. c.,
he early in life came to Florence and
became clerk in the old Gamble hotel,
Kept by his uncle. Upon the discharge
OF passenger conductor at Florence
he was asked to take the train to

so well that he was asked to con-
tinue the run. From that time on,

the Atlantic Coast Lines conductors,
and was the first conductor to run a
train over the Cheraw & Darlington
railroad. On the outbreak of the War
Between the Sections he enlisted in
Col. Cash's regiment, but was at once
detailed for railroad duty and spent
the four years in carrying supplies and
messages over the Coast Line system
to the army in the field. His thrilling
experiences in this service would fiji
a volume. He entered Atlanta with
supplies for Hoods army, only to
find Hood gone and the enemy enter
ing Atlanta. He did not stand on the
order of his own going. He was many
times shot at by detachments of Union
soldiers.
Twenty-six years ago he left the
railroad and entered into partnership
with his father-in-law. the late Maj.
Horton, and until a few years ago
was one Of Cheraws leading mer-
chants, failing health compelling him
to withdraw. He was q Mason of long
standing, I'm lodge. chapter and coun-

Capt. Hendrix was aged 7S years.
He was twice married and is survived
by his wife and two daughters, Mrs r..
Mel. Watts and Mrs. John II. Wells,
all of Cheraw. The funeral services
will be held at IL O'Clock tomorrow.

white men. The sheriff went out to
the scene of the supposed robbery. but

groes which he could follow.

fff was that they were coming along
the road when they met the two white
men. one of whom had a long gun
and the other a pistol. The white
men told them to halt and started to
search them. One Of the negroes ran,
but the other stood his ground and
was relieved OF three dollars. he says.
The negroes claim that when the one
ran, one of the robbers called to the
other to shoot him, but the second
robber declined to do so, saying that
the negro probably did not have any
money anyway. The two alleged white
men told the negroes that they did
not intend To- hurt them, that they
were looking for an escaped convict
from Clarendon county.
When the sheriff arrived K was
dark and no trace could be found OF
the two men and as the negroes from
the vicinity had tracked all over the
