men, but did not go into the river un-

His Neck Again Saved

There seems to be a prevailing
impression that Jacob Lutz, twice
convicted fo rthe murder Of Chief Of
Police j. T.. B. Phillips, in Grafton
and sentenced after a second convict
ion to hang on the 25th day of this
present mon tn, would suffer the ex-
IRENE penalty on that date. This is
an error however.
After sentence Of death had been
composed upon the condemned man
at the last trial here, counsle for the
defendant, J. Frank Wilson, immedial
tely interposed motion for stay of
execution, which meets in Charleston
next September. This was for the
purpose of allowing time for the pre-
paration Of proper bill of exceptions
to the rulings of the court during the
last trial, and in which to make APP
plication to the court of appeals for
another writ of error.
1t is now understood that such bill
Of exceptions was prepared by Mr..

that the attorney has now prepared

SNAKE EATERS HOLD A
TOURNAMENT IN
TUNIS

LONDON, June 26.-The SNAKE
eaters" of Northern African have
just held their annual convention at
Kairuan, Tunice, for the first time in
five years. Most of the snake eaters
served, in the French army during the
war
The feature of the convention was
competition which, for excitement,
far excelled all eating and drinking
matches, which formerly were much
in vogue in England.
More than 400 small snakes of vari-
Gus sizes were carefully measure
and distributed to the competitors.
The 'eating consisted of forcing
snake into the mouth as quickly as
possible, but no punching or rolling
up of the reptile was allowed.
The snake had to be forced in head
first, and as soon as the tail had dis
appeared, which it usally did with
extraordinary rapidity, the COM
petitor quickly snatched it out of his
mouth and inserted another.
The man who finished his twenty
four snakes first was adjudged the
winner and was presented with a
prise consisting of round ball
studded with brass nails and hung
with brass chanins, to which were at
tached silver and gold coins.
