The prohibitionists of South Caro lina evidently intend to put a State ticket in the field this year, at least candidates for Governor and Lieuten ant Governor. And we won't say they will not be elected. The Rev. Warren Entzminger, one of the professors of the S. C. C. I. has beek* called to preach for Stevens Creek church for the current year. Prof. Entzminger will now probably bring his famiJy to Edgefieid. Mr. Henry Powell, of our town, has a hen 24 years old.

Brooks Mayson Esq, candidate for i the house of representatives, says that ?rather than win by bootlicking, rather t&an crook the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning, fae would go down to the dust from whence be sprung: unwept, unhonored, and ansang; had rather bea dog and bay .the moon than such a Roman. We admire Mr. Mayson's candor and independence, and so should all the people. The Whangdoodle has made its or his appearance in the Sleepy Creek section. Last Sunday night as Jack Fermenter and Zack Boone were re turning home from where they bad been," something jumped up before them, but it was so dark - they couldn't see it good, and the mule got scared and went down the road like greased lightning.

Mr. Nicho'son is willing to stand or fall on his record, and, moreoye?*, promises much for the educational interests of the County in the future, if re-elected. Speaking of the April snow our old friend Thad Strom cays this snow was on the 15th of April, 1849. He re members it because on that day be rode to Gilgal church on horseback be hind his mother, and that his hat wa:; blown off on the road and the snow, fell on his head. Th s snow must have fallen on Sunday, for according to Mr. Strom, the Kev. James Chiles preached at Gilgal on the day named. The following rip is for those who are worried by those very troublesome creatures, mosquitos : "Throw a hit of alum about the size of i marble into a small bowl of water,and wet the hands ? and face and any exposed parts lightly 'with it. Not a mosquito will ap proach you. They hum about a little and disappear. I never had any occa sion to use a mosquito curtain, and am glad to think that I can perhaps bene fit others, travelers in partioular, by this little bit of information." ?Jiimiimi'iimmiiiiiiiuiiiiuiiii'iHKiHiiimiiimiii R.

In the morning of that notable day it was very warm, the wind blowing from the Bouth. Those dayB our people did not wear heavy clothing as now; they all went to church in spring attire. About 10 o'clock the wind changed to the north and blew cold. At 12 o'clock it began to snow, aud a prettier snow you never saw. In those days nearly every one rode horseback. The Gilgal church was lull on that day. I never saw so many prancing horses as on that day. It was an unusually early spring; th? leaves on the trees [ j were full grown, cotton up, a stand, corn plowed and hoed, some knee high. English peas nearly ready for use. Wheat iu full bloom, the fiuest crop I ever saw. Peaches as large as partridge eggs. For one week we had a freeze every night and everything was killed of c.oursp. The wheat was ruined, it was almost a total failure. There was cotton seed enough in the grouud to make a very good stand. Ycurs trulv, J. M* BELL, SR. Rehoboth, May 7,1900.

"Snakes as food for hogs beat chestnuts, acorns or any of the fancy foodstuffs," says Sam Taylor.' ''Of course, you know that in some parts of Europe pigs have killed out the vipers. I was in North Carolina some months ago, and found there a novel industry had been undertaken by a number of. men whose lands were overrun hy the small variety of snakes .tbj?t. infest that section. The snakes were BO numerous SB to be . "a nuisance. One farmer tried the hog as an exterminator, tie succeeded so well that he found the drove of animals he had turned; loose on the plantation had not, only decreased the number of snakes, but that they were actually thriving on them. He told his neighbors about it, and now the. whole valley is oue large hog pen, in which hundreds of the animals are feeding literally on snakes. Formorly no one would buy land there, notwithstanding the beauty of the place, because of the snakes, but now that the remedy has been found, and at the same time big money is made on the pigs that grow fat on suake food, the land is destined to be in great demand, as it is the most fertile laud in North Carolina. This may sound like a fairy snake tale, but I as sure you that it is correct, and that hundreds of pigs are sold from that valley every year that have literally become fat on snakes."
