THOS. J. ADAMS, PROPRIETOR. EDGEFIELD, S. C., THURSDAY MARCH 17, 1892. VOL. LVn. NO. IO. THE OLD SETTLER. Snakes and the Great Sugar s Swamp Snake Bite Cure. New York Sun. "Great Spooks!" exclaimed the Squire, looking up from the paper he was reading and keeping his finger on tho place. "Twenty thousand! Wat do ye think o' that, Major? Twenty thousan' folks dyin' from snakes in one year!" " . "Wat do I think on it !" said the Old Settler. "Wull, I think them folks must 'a'took their applejack v pooty durn new, b'gosh, an' a leetle too often!" "Applejack!" said the Squire, glaring at the Old Settler. "Apple jack hain't got nuthin' to do with it! These folks was bit." "Bit, was they?" responded the. Old Settler. "Wull, tha hain't" nuthin' that kin bite wuas th'n new applejack, Squire. I've know'd it to be sharper'n a sarpent's tooth. But who were tellin' vs 'bout all them folks dyin' from snake bites? That's a good many folks, Squire. Ye orter be a leetle keeiful of yer riggers when ye set out to peddle facts." "Why, consarn it!" exclaimed the Squire, "here it is, right here in the paper! The paper says that last years tha was twenty thousan' folks died in Injy from snake bites!" "In Injy, hay?" said the Old Settlor. "Why, I didn't hev no kind an idee that the sarpent had got ez much of a foothold on Injy's coral strand ez ail that ! Humph ! I must tell M'riar 'bout that, an' tha'll be a special meetin' of the Clothers o' Them that's Naked an' ' Feeders o' Them that Hungers called tn look inter it. This here won't never do ! M'riar must call a meetin' of the Clothers an' Feed ers, and the sistern must line the nex' cargo o' red flannel shirts an' secon'-han' pants with leather. I ben spectin' they was a little too thin to perfect them heathens on Injy's coral strand. An' w'at is the news Tforii Gr?enTairs icy mountains, Squire? How many folks is missin', 'long o' snakes, up there? An' does Afric's sunny fountains send in any returns? Gosh-t'lmighty ! This'll make trouble fer my yaller-leg chickens ag'in, w'en this news gits arc d, fer tho Clothers and Feeders alluz stays to supper. W'at's the returns from Afric's sunny fountains, Squire?" The Squire folded up his paper, put it in his pocket, and gave the Old Settler a withering look, but said nothing. This was plainly disappointing to the Old Settler, but after a while he resumed the subject. "Twenty thousand, hay?" said he. "I wisht I know'd the direc tions o' some leadin' heathen over there, an' I'd send him a letter tellin' him 'bout the never-failin' Sugar-Swamp cure fer snake p'i6on, au' tha wouldn't be no use o' snakes bitin' anybody in that pleasin' ken try any more, fer they'd only waste their p'ison. If anything ever were a cortion to snakes, that Sugar Swamp p'ison cure were ! Gosht'lmighty, how it could draw! An' that were jist the trouble with it. It had so much heft to its drawin' powers that the danger were that if it got its hooks outer a feller that had snake p'ison in him it were liable to kill him while it were curiu' . him. Pervidin', o' course, that ye wa'n't keerful in usin' on it. The ingrejints o' that Sugar Swamp snake p'ison cure is a secret ez nobody kin ever hev outside of-our fam'ly. The prescription were thunk up by an ancestor o' mine who kim inter Sugar Swamp w'en things was skeerce, everything but b^ar an' snakes. Tha wa'nt but two bar'l of apple juice in the hull settlement w'en this ancistor o' mine sot down there, an' folks was comin' in ev'ry day all bit up by snakes, an' consekently havin' to be filled up with that juice in a way that were al armin', that be in' the only snake p'ison cure ez were reco'nized 'mongst the 'arly settlers o' Sugar Swamp. So this ancistor o' mine, he got all worked up over it, seem' that the way things was goin' the future were goin' to be very short, ez fur ez life bein' pleasant had anything to do with it, snakes bein' *o plenty, folks bein' so willin' t? be bit, an' apple juice bein' so skeerce. So he up an' says : "'It's a durn shame,' says he, 'to be a wastin' good ap ples, jist 'cause folks won't git outen the way o' tnakes ! This here's got to be stopped. A feller can't hev no show at a toothful o' that apple no more, 'less he goes an' gits bit by a snake. Them two bar'l won't last more'n a month, an' then w'at a we gointer to do? I'll think up a snake p'ison cure, b'gosh, an' save the kentry !' "An' so my ancistor went off an' thunk up a snake, p'ison cure, an' its main p'ints was its heft o' drawin' power. It wa'n't a cure ye took in'ardly, but it was clap ped onter the place where the snake had socked the p'ison in, an' that p'ison mowt better had a mill stun 'bout its neck an' jumped in ter tue sea than ben foolin' 'round maide o' folks w'en that cure got arter it. "From all I kin learn, tha were an orful hellahaloo in Sugar Swamp the fust time that snake p'ison cure were used. Sim Janni ken kim a tearin' in oue day, and floppin' down in the tavern ez usual, he hollers out: "'Spooks a spinnin'!' says he. 'I'm bit ag'in ! Fill me up !*' "Now, this were the third time hand-runnin' that Sim had been bit that month, au' it took a pint ev'ry time to skeer the p'ison outen him. So w'en he kira in this time an' flopped down an' waited far Uncle Noar Tidfit to come a-rush in' out with a bottle an' a tumbler, my ancistor were there, all ready with the snake p'ison cure he bad thunk up, an' he run up to Sim an' says: .' 'Where'd it bite ye?' '"Calf o'my leg!' says Sim. "My ancistor slides Sim's trous ers up, an1 claps a handful o' his snake p'ison cure on the calf o' Sim's leg. "'Hoi' on!' says Sim. 'Tha hain't no use of a snake bitin' ye if. ye can't hev the Simon-pure cure fer the p'ison ! If I can't be cured reg'lar,' says he, 'what's the use o' runnin' the risk o' snakes?' "But my ancistor know'd his business, and clapped on the cure he'd thunk up. But he didn't .know his hnsinpRR an pood aa he orter, fer he kep' the p'ison cure onter Sim a leetle too long, and when he thort the time were up fer it to yank all the p'ison out b'gosh he found that Sim wa'n't no bet ter'n a pig that'd ben stuck, fer the cure had drawed ev'ry durn drop o' blood outen him ez well ez the p'ison, an' w'at were left o' Sim wa'n't wuth nothin' 'cept to the coroner. "'Gosht'lmighty !' says my an cistor. 'The heft o' this snake p'ison cure is more amazin' than red eels ! ' says he. "But he know'd a thing or two yit, an' he clapped another hunk o' the cure onter the back o' Sim's neck, an' in less'n ten seconds it draw'd the hull o' that blood back into Sim ag'n, an' pooty soon Sim got up, an' shakin' his fist at Noar Tidfit, he says : "'I hain't been treated reg'lar!' says he. Tve ben sot down on in this here tavern? Noar/ says he, 'if this is to be the upshot o' things, a feller mowt jist ez well go to Ireland,' says he, 'where tha hain't no snakes !' "An' then Sim scufled out o' the tavern, lookin' disap'inted an' down in the mouth. An' the con sekences o' that p'scription my an cistor thunk up was, that ez folks got to know it things changed. Where they use ty come in more'n a dozen a week to git cured in the ol' fashioned, ?eg'lar way for snake bites, they fell off so that by an' by tha wa'n't one a month kim in, an' folks took to killin' off snakes ez useless hangers on, an' a 'cum brance o' the soil. I "wonder if we could find any way to interduce that Sugar Swamp snake p'ison cure over inter injy, Squire?" "Dunno, Major," said the Squire. "Seems to me, though, ez if some o' the ol' fashioned reg'lar cure mowt be interduced a leetle closer by. W'at do ye think about it? Wanter interduce some?" "Wull, sence ye mention it," said the Old Settler, smiling. "I don't keer if Ido." The following story is told by a Georgia marshal who encountered a crowd of disorderly negroes : "Marshal-"What is all this row about?" Negro (with pistol, knife, and club and war paint)-"Dat ar nig ger dar said I was a consequence, an' no black nigger can call me a consequence, widout de penalty of ramifying, and dat to de mos' su perfying amphibiousness." "Good Lawd!" said one of the colored sisters Bitting near the scene of war, "dat am er eddicated nigger fer show, bless God!" 1 RUSSIA'S STATE CHURCH. The Greek Denomination of the Christian Church. Philadelphia Press. The Hon. Charles Emory Smith, ex-Minister to Russia, delivered an address yeiterday afternoon at the Grace Baptist Temple, Broad and Berks streets, on the "State Church of Russia." Mr. Smith first gave a brief sketch of the history , of the Greek Church and its separa tion from the Roman Catholic Church. "I come not to discuss or analyze the Russian Greek Church," said he, "but to say something about the results of my parson?l obser vation of some features. The Greek Church is that part of the great Christian body which recog nizes only the authority of the first seven E.jmenical Councils. Originally it was united with the Roman Church. Differences began to spring up as early as the fifth century, but the schism was not fully completed till the eleventh century. The Greek Church is practically a federation of churches without any centre of authority. There is no Pope in the Greek Church, but there are Patriarchs of Constantinople. Antioch, Alex andria, and Jerusalem, the chief prelate being known as t?e Metro politan. .The Russian Greek Church em braces nearly 75,000,000 adherents, more than the entire population of the United States. The Emperor of Russia is the head of the Church, but he has no more to do with its doctrines than thc King of Italy or the Emperor of Austria has with the doctrines of the Ro man Church. The Emperor is described as the defender of the faith. As far as the appointive power goes, he is the complete head of the hierarchy, and the Holy Synod is made up of his ap pointees. "The Greek Church agrees with the Roman Church in various dog mas. They have the same veuera -c-?J-w,i.ip?-? -.-r recognize the sacraments and pay attention to fasting. But there are marked distinctions. The Greek Church denies the primacy and spiritual supremacy of the Popes. It recogn?T- no human infallibility exoept on the part of the Ecumenical Council. It main tains that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father, not from the Son ; rejects the doctrine of purgatory, though it recognizes the interces sion of the Sainte. "The Church has what is termed a white clergy and a black clergy. The latter are monks. They are celibates. But the white clergy are required to marry. The white clergy preponderate. It is from the(black clergy that all the high prelates are chosen. The white clergy are not allowed to exercise any choice as to their wives. The selection is made by a Bishop, who chooses the widow or daughter of another priest. All the priests sons must become priests, and the ouly possible method of escape is by entering the army. "The Greek Church does not have images, but rather represen tations of the Savior, the Madonna, and the Bai nts upon surfaces. These representations are called ikons, and those in the edifices are beautiful and very valuable, being studded often with precious stones. In every house and every shop is an ikon, and when one enters the door he must take off his hat in respect for the ikon. "As to the character of the wor ship ; one never hears a sermon. I never heard but one Russian heir arch deliver a discourse, and that was on an anniversary. The ser vices consist of mass and music. Sometimes the music is very monotonous, but then it will be come most entertaining and rav ishing, the grandest melodies and the sweetest voices that I ever heard. Women do not take part. All the singing is by men and boy's. The boys who have the sweetest voices are selected for the priest hood and their voices are trained during their whole life. There is no instrumental music." Ayer's Pills are invaluable for the cure of Headache, Constipation, Stomach and Liver- troubles, and all derangements of the digestive and assimilative organs. These Pills are sugarcoated, safe and pleasant to take, always reliable, and retain their virtues in any climate. A Louisiana man has made his coffin and keeps it in his bedroom. BITTEN BY A CENTIPEDE. Mrs. Lastenhow Displays Several Characteristics of the Insect. Philadelphia Times. BRENHAM, Texas, April 29. Mrs. Julia R. Lastenhow, the wife of R. M. Lastenhow, a well-to-do farmer of this county, was bitten a few days ago by a centipede, and is so singularly affected by the bite as to puzzle all physicians who have seen her. The insect was introduced into the house in a log of wood, which, being placed on the fire, became too warm a hiding place, and it ran from the .hearth under an article of furni ture. Mrs. Lastenhow tried to find it, and after several days' search concluded that it had escaped and gave herself no further uneasiness regarding it. But on retiring a few nights after, the lady, altering the posi tion of the pillows, discovered a small object beneath one, and, not detecting what it was, put put her hand to remove it, when the cen tipede bit her on the palm and wrist. It was with difficulty that she succeeded in detaching the insect from its hold on her flesh and was just able to kill it when she fainted from the agony of the wound. When first inflicted the sting re sembled the red appearance of a place seared by a hot iron, but in a few.hours it begau lo swell until the entire arm was of a size equal to the rest of the lady's body, and lo turn a livid purple with spots of nearly white with a quantity of corruption beneath them. Mrs. Lastenhow now lost consciousness and began to foam at the mouth, uttering cries of intense pain, un til opiates were administered. After a day or two the swelling disappeared from the arm, but all over the sufferer's body the im pression of the insect's sting broke out in angry marks, as if burnt in, and remain exceedingly painful and raw. Mrs. Lastenhow is still insensible, and has to be *-i 1 ? ?* ; ? 8r i r a8.she manifests a disposition to indulge in a crawling movement which is said to bear a hideous re semblance to the sliding action of the int-ect, and will snap at and at tempt to bite any ODC Her senses seem affected, par ticularly her sight, which appears to ce nearly gone. Physicians can only explain her symptoms by the supposition that the poison of the insect's bite has affected her brain through the blood, which has re produced the marks of the sting all over the body. A day or two ago, during one of her paroxysms, she seized Dr. Steinbock's hand between her teeth and gave it a severe bite, which soon began to burn and swell, and it was only by promptly cauterizing the wound that the member was saved. It is thought that it is only a question of a very short time before death will bring relief to the unfor tunate lady. He Was Saved. He had made a great effort to appear cheerful at the supper table, but the loving eye of the wife detected the true situation of affairs, and as soon as they were alone she tenderly said : "William, something has upset you." "No, dear." "But I know better. Confide in me. Tell me what is wrong." "Well, we are ruined. To-mor row the sheriff will be in posses sion of the store. We must part with our servants, horses, dia monds, house, everything, and I shall probably go to driving a horse car." "Have you tried to raise money to tide you over the crisis?" "Everywhere, but in vain." "How much would save you?" "Twenty thousand dollars would carry me through with flying colors." "Wait a minute." She ran up stairs, hastily un locked the bottom drawer of her dresser, and iu a moment later stood before her wondering hus band with a package in ber hands. "Here ? is $22,000," she said. "Take it and meet your obligations and save your credit." "But-how-how," he stam mered. "it is my savings," she explain ed. "For many years you have allowed me $10 a week to run the table on. I have Raved $8 per week right along and laid it aside for just sr -h an emergency. It is yours, Your little tootsy wootey wife has saved you, and she is very, very happy !" And he actually kissed her and got in from the club that night a whole quarter of an hour before 1 o'clock. BILLTOPS'S GRASSHOPPER. The Hopper Jumped-Freddie's "Oh" Startled the Audieuce. "Pop," said little Franky Bill tops, "tell me a story." "Well, Franky," said Mr. Bill tops, "once there was a little boy whose name was Freddy. His real, full name was Frederick Timby, but everybody always called him just Freddy. "Freddy lived in the city, but every summer he usad to go to see his aunt, who lived in the country in a little old village. There was an old church, in this village, and every Sunday morning Freddy used to go there. Generally his father and. mother and some of the other folks from the house used to go too ; but one Sunday, just Freddy and his aunt went alone. "It was a warm day, and the windows of the church were pull ed down all around at the top to let in the air. Freddy looked out through the open windows, and saw the sunshine and saw the branches of the trees swaying, and heard the leaves rustling, and somehow it all made him feel very sleepy, and the first thing, you know, he was fast asleep. But Freddy's aunt knew that childreu go to sleep in church sometimes, and she was looking out for him all the time, and when she saw him nod and nod and nod, she fix ed it so that when he finally nod ded clean over, his heaa fell against her, where he was all safe. "After a while Freddy woke up suddenly, as folks do sometimes without knowing just what wakes them, and he looked along the va cant part of the pew in which he was sitting. You know there weie only Freddy . and his aunt in the pew, and they sat at one end of it, so there was a long vacant space between them and the other end. Right square in* the centre of this space Freddy ? saw a big grasshopper ; -he was sitting there pointed, jfoward the didn't know whether the grasshop per was asleep, or what, but he kept on looking at him, and pretty Boon he knew that the grasshopper wasn't asleep, for he saw him rub his right leg up and down against his side, and then he saw him rub hie left leg up and down against that side; then the grasshopper stood perfectly still again. Then he turned half around right where he stood and faced toward Freddy, and just stood there, very still. But all of a sudden the grasshop per made a tremendous jump and landed right on Freddy's shoulder. Freddy said, 'Oh !' "It was only a very small word with only two letters in it, but it startled the whole congregation and made the minister stop preach ing. Everybody looked around toward Freddy and his aunt. But Freddy's aunt is one of those peo ple who always seem to know just what to do when anything happens. The first thing she did was to put her arm around Freddy and draw him up nearer to her and sort of turn his face in toward her, for she knew that if Freddy should see all the people looking at him in that way it would make him feel bad; and when she had done this she just looked straight ahead as though nothing had happened, as though she had never heard of anything happening, and as though she didn't expect anything was going to happen for the next 700 years. "The minister had seen right away that nothing very wonderful had happened, and he had gone right on preaching again. When the people saw Freddy's aunt look ing ahead in that way they turned around again and faced toward the pulpit once more, and then every thing went on just as it was be fore." "What became of the grasshop per, pop?" asked Franky. But that was something that Mr. Billtops could nor. answer. Population of the World. The population of the five con tinents of the earth, as estimated by M. Mmile Levasseur, is as fol lows : New York Sun. Asia. Europe. Airica. North America. Oce?nica. . . . South America 824,000,000 360,000,000 153,000,000 88,000,000 38,000,000 34,000,000 1,497,000.000 WAS GREAT ON WILDCATS. He Never Used a Weapon, but Killed Them "Every Time. SCRANTON, April 28,"Bill Gregory used to slay more wildcats than any ten men in Sullivan county," said ? woodsman." and he never carried a weapon, neither. Bill was quicker than a ?wildcat, and he just loved to get wildcats to spring at him. No wildcat was ever too spry for Bill. He used to carry a ht of little darts with him to throw at wildcats, but they were not weapon f jr they only pricked a wildcat just enough to make it so angry that it would spring at him in self-defence. Bill had a hand like a boxing glove, and whenever a wildcat sprung at him he gave it a blow on the head and broke its neck every time. "One day Bill saw a wildcat worrying the life out of a porcupine in the woods. He threw darts at I at it till it turned on him, and Bill braced himself and gave it a swat that laid it out so stiff that it didn't have time to be surprised. Bill once saw the hind end ?fl that ho took to be a woodchuck stickiug out of the brush. He gave it a kick, and the next instant he found that he had stirred up a wounded wildcat, The wilbcat bit through Bill's cowhide boot and big toe nail, and when Bill yanked his leg the wild cat sprang at his chest and clawed so hard he had no chance to swat it, so he bit it on the nose. The wildcat let loose and came again, and Bill got in his deadly cuff. "Bill's game was to swat the wildcat when it was in the air. Ona time after he had killed several hundred wildcats in that I way he saw a catamount crouching for a rabbit. He flung a dart at it, and the catamount snapped, at the pricked spot, and crouched again. Bill tickled it with another dart, and the catamount spied him, gave a scream and sprang for his throat, Bill sent the catamount spinning around with one of his failed to break itD:~Scx?^==i?? for him again and Bill slapped his hands together, caught the cat amount's head between them, and mashed it as flat as a pancake. Queer Russian Religous Sects. Philadelphia Press. M. Tsaknia a Ru6sinn writer has published an interesting work entitled "Queel Religious Seets of I Russia," from which it appears that there are not less than 15,000,000 followers of insane and cranky notions in the Empire of the Czar. Tnese communities of devout and deluded beings are constantly being enlarged in spite of all efforts made to the contr. ry by Government. One af these sects is known as the "Runaways." As soon as they embrace the new faithjthey fly from their villages and towns, destroy their identity as much as possible, and henceforth live as savages. "The Christs" are another curious sect. They worship each other 1 The chief ceremonies are a crazy speccies of dancing, yelling as loudly as possible, and pounding j stones with sticks. The "Skoptsy" believe in self mutilation, but will not submit to amputation, even though it would j save life. Like the "Christs" they dance and yell for hours without intermission. Still another of these deluded sects is the "Dumb Boys." Why they are called Dumb Boys no one seems to know, but it is a curious fact that the sect is composed of j both sexes, old men being in the majority. It; is claimed that some of these aged partriarchs have not spoken in fifty years, although perfectly able to do so did they so desire. "Thc Suicides" area sect led by M. Souckeliff, who preaches self destruction as au absolute necessity to salvation. He is very eloquent, and it is said that he often leaves a church with a dozen suicide remains strewn about the floor. On last Sunday, a little four year old had difficulty in spending the day properly. Not being al lowed her playthings, sho was restless and fretful, until finally she found her little toy-iron, and proceeded to amuse herself ironing her handkerchief. "Don't you know that it is wrong to iron on Sunday?''reprovingly asked her mother, when she discovered the child. "Well," promptly rejoined the little girl, "don't you s'pose God knows this iron's cold?"-New York Herald ' Mellican Man Too Bad. The United States Supreme Court has rendered a decisioa sustainiug the act proving for the exclusion of the Chinese from the United States, aud for the de portation of those in this country that have not complied with the requirements of said act. There fore no more Chinamen for ?his country, and a great many of those already here will have to gef j out of the union. The effect that this decision will have on citizens of the United States now in China lemains to be seen. Nicotine. New York Sun. No smoker realizes how much nicotine he has taken into his mouth in the consumption of a cigar until he has tried this ex periment: Fill the mouth with smoke when the cigar is burning freely, and breathe it out slowly through a handke"chief, com pressing the lips until only a small aperture remains, as in whistling. After the smoke has been exhaled, a distinct brown stain will be seen on the linen, and it emits a strong odor, like that of an old pipe. This is nico tine, the poisonous principle of tobacco, and more or less of it is absorbed through the mucous mern jrane every time that a cigar, cigarette, or pipe is smoked or | tobacco is chewed. We hope to hold our next Con vention in Charleston, and, only to think, not a single open bar room in the city. If* ' Governor Tillman never does anything el$e than to close the bar rooms of South Caro lina he will have the grateful thanks of thousands of women and children, who, from their ruined homes, are looking to him for deliverance, and will well deserve the title I gave him, "Our brave Governor." The bar rooms have been the greatest obstacle in the way to prohibition. Once they are out of the way the rest will be easy, and God forbid I should strike away the hands that are closing! prohibition at all, unless'?^oinesf according to their notion, I would say : "God's ways are not as our ways, nor His thoughts as our thoughts'" and if they refuse to see God's hand in this wonderful deliverance now offered they may have to say, after the opportunity has failed for lack of their support : "And [while I was going hither and thither the man was gone."
