Killed Big Rattlesnake.

Clifford, August ia rattlesnake
measuring six feet in length, with
fifteen rattles and button. was kill
ed on the farm of w. T. Hamilton.
near Clifford, in Hampton county, on
August s. Mr.. Hamilton and his
wife and little boy were riding
through the corn field in the after
noon, when suddenly the big snake
was seen wrapped in the wheel or
the buggy, on the side occupied by
the woman and child. An attempt
was made to kill the reptile then, but
it managed to get away. Later Mr..
Hamilton, with P. r. Youmans, re-
turned to the field and after short
search Youmans found the snake and
chopped it's head off. The monster
measured Il inches in circumference.
Mr.. Hamilton begs to differ with
the statement which he says appear
ed recently in snake story from
Colleton county, to the effect that
the male rattlesnake does not have
rattles. He says both male and fe-
male rattlers wear them but that the
rattlesnake pilot does not wear them,
neither male nor female.

Killed in Savannah.

The body of Johnnie Smalls, color
ed, was brought to Bamberg Sunday
from Savannah, where he was killed
a day or two previous. The body
was buried at the colored cemetery
here Sunday afternoon. Smalls was
employed at a saw mill camp near
Savannah, where he had difficulty
with a fellow workman, also coloredY
1t was stated by colored man who
was present at the inquest in Savan'
nah that Smalls and the other negro
engaged in an argument about load
ing some scrap. lumber on car. II
seems that Smalls was accused of not
performing his part of the loading
and this led to an argument, which
terminated by Small's assailant strik-
ing him on the head with piece, OF
scantling, crushing his head. Smalls
died in about fifteen minutes. Smalls
lived in Bamberg about six years ago
and had reputation here as being
a peaceable man.

$4,000 Worth of Flour.

The Bamherg Flour Mill up to a
few days ago had milled approNi-
mately 3.l00 barrels of flour. 1t is
estimated that about One-half Of the
crop has been milled, and the total
for the season will run to about c.
600 barrels or more. The mill will
run probably until February.
1t is estimated that fully, if no:
more than, one-half of the flour the
mill has turned out has been for
Bamberg county farmers. If this es-
innate is correct, the total amount of
-four milled for this county for the
season will run up to 800 barrels,
or, based at $3.50 per barrel. the pre-
vailing price, S20,250 worth of -four.
The amount of shorts" for the sea-
son, at the present rate, will amount
to something like 125 tons. which, at
the present price, S37 ton, amounts
to s4.625, about one-half of which
will 60 to the farmers of this county.
Counting in the by-products, the to-
tai value of the wheat crop, based on
present estimate, will be worth not
less than $4,000 to the people of
Bamberg county.
Considering the fact that last year,
and in all previous years, the amount
of wheat raised has been practically
none, it can be readily seen that the
people of the county have saved
themselves this year good round
sum of money for -four. Heretofore
this foodstuff has been purchased
from the Western markets.

THE OUTLOOK.
By the Observer.

The summer is fast drawing TO a
close. We will soon see the children
on their way to and from school, and
will be glad TO see them. for the
summer season is dull. With 50
many folks away for the summer or
visiting things are very quiet, and |
like to hear a lot of noise and racket.
| have always imagined that would
like to live in big city where could
hear the rumble of wagons and the
rattle of Fords all through the
day and night. I guess after | heard
it a while | would be contented to
come back to Bamberg and listen TO
the quiet, but | think | would like to
try it anyway. 1t looks refreshing g
to see the children with their books
going to school. 1t has a look of
intelligence about it that looks good
to me. But it makes me sad TO think
how many boys and girls there are
around us who never go to. school.
They probably think, some of them,
that they are having perfectly love-
" time staying away from school.
but, oh, what will they think about
it after it is too late?
