Charlotte Observer, Saturday: R. Chalmers Klrkpatrlck, of Sharon township, was bitten three times on the hand by a snake when he notched into a wardrobe in his home Thurs- , ; day afternoon. ' The snake,- which he took out and killed was of the copperhead variety. Mr. Kirkpatrick was very; ill forhourq following the bite. He was takefi( to 1'ineville, five miles away, where he was given medical attention,by Dr. Hand., His condition was much improved Friday and 3ie was said to be getting along nicely, f Air. Kirkpatriok had returned home from the picnic at Sharon, and was reaching into the wardrobe for a garment when he felt a sling on his hand and det?bted something mdving about in the wardrobe, discovering a 1 ho nV> innt U'fl Q 1GW SCCOI1US Jtiit'i mat tttv wj^w nv*~ . u snake.

The conference would hardly waste time working, out a disarmament agreement without some means of enforcing that agreement, and such an agreement properly enforced, will come pretty nearly spelling peace. ? Clarence^ l'oe is again being prominently mentioned for the governorship of North Carolina.

There is reason to believe, lowever, tliat th" governor will take steps to insure tlie transfer of all of he prisoners to Lexington courthouse text month to the end that they may mswer for tii" eritne with which they ire ciiargid by due process of law. It s quite probable t!<at if the prisoners lad not been run out of Augusta to Savannah, there would have been vrioiis trouble in Augusta.

Tlic growing corn cn*p throughout! thtr county just at this time is without a doubt the largest that has ever been known. On an average too, the corn is about as good. There is very little I commercial fertilizer under it; but much of it is on cotton land and it is promising an abundant yield, t'nless unforsocn disaster occurs , there is going to be plenty of corn to do and plenty to sparof it. is too muen to expect mat mere will l)e an easy market for the surplus;, but that surplus should not be allowed to go to. waste. It is quite probable that the people who have the cagn know what they expect to do with It. and that such is the case The .Yorkville Enquirer sincerely hopes, i * The logic of the?situation seems to suggest that where a farmer sees that' lie is going to have more com than he ! will need, lie shot/ld, if he has not nl- I ready done so, begin looking out for' pigs and cattle to feed it to. Corn will not keep indefinitely, and it will'1?4 in much better shape in | pigs and cattle than in the field or >n the shuck. Of course, it is wise not to have too many pigs and cattle In proportion to the surplus corn, because Vhat \Vouhi j develop a situation more awkward thpn that of having corn without any place to put it. Hut with plenty of pigs and cattle [ to take' ?are of a part of the surplus j corn, the cash corn market will hold I up better, and sooner or later the pigs and cattle will bring more profit tjjan could have been expected from the raw corn alone. As has been stated, there is a promise of more corn than the county has'] ever known; but unless provision is j made in advance for proper disnosi- j tion of it, this abundance may prove : a liability instead of an asset. ? Widespread interest is now converging on the expected early arrival at Lnkehurst, X< w Jersey, of the ZR-2, the-largest dirigible airship in the world, just completed in England fori the tTnitcd States navy. The ship was comjdeted Saturday, since when it has i been a matter of days and circumAtanc* s until the start could be made, . tin* trial trip by the builders having! been somewhat delayed on account of j heavy rains and" strong winds. The, 4CII-2 is CUf. feet long and S3 feet in diameter, and will lift 43 tons. It has a maximum speed of 70'miles an hour; ] but on tin- pending trip will travelI only at tlie rate of 00 miles an hour,; coming across in about 73 hours. The| great ship has a cruising radius of (>.- i 300 miles. There has been constructed1 ( at Iiakchurst, New Jersey, during the. rfnst two years a "hangar" that, has dost between four and five million dollars. It is 803 feet long and U'M feet wide, in connection with it there is! a docking tower that is-250 feet high. Kinston, X.
