Kingstree, June 5:?One of the most remarkable acts of courage and presence of mind that this correspondent has ever heard of was that of a small negro boy, about 10 years old.Melvin McClam by name. It appears that he was in the river fishing Saturday of last week, and in swimming across one of the lakes was bitten by a "water rattle," just behind the ear. The boy caught the snake by its head and swam across the lake with it. Immediately upon landing,he killed the snake and with his pocket knife quickly cut the reptile open: he obtained its liver and placed it directly over the bite. It evidently acted like magic, for other than a little swelling, the boy is apparently all right. It 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 his only known remedy.?Xetcs d1 Courier.

Arrangements have been rnnue bv lT the State president of the Farmers' t< Union to give all the local unions a ^ rally meeting. The respective dates were given in last week's issue of i " The Record and I ask each member: v to acquaint himself with the time jj of meeting at his union and be pres- j o ent. Just at this season we need i ? encouragement and I'm sure the j a honored gentlemen who will address j us from time to time can give some word of timely advice. The union 1 is doing a great work in this State 6 and especially in those sections ' where the members are enthusiastic. No part of the State is more pro-1 gressive than is ours and we ought to bo leaders in spirit and good J works. Remember the date and be t' present.
