He stated positively that be would enter the race for Attorney General. Mr. Lyon has received a great many letters askiug him to run for Gov ernor and a great many asking bim to run for Attorney General. He had dc oided at first not to take part in the State campaign, but in the light of develop ments within the last few days he has made up his mind to run for Attorney General. Those who know Mr. Lyon feel sure that, he has done right, for he will make a vigorous campaign on the issue that the State dispensary should be abolished and that if ol ec to ii; be will prosecute those who may be deemed subject to in dictment.

Fur 19 years the writer has been a close observer of the weather at this place, and in all that time has never seen so much water on the land at one time with the possible exception of the 1693 storm.

In 20 minutes the already full streams bad incroased in height between six inches and a foot, covering laud marks that were never before been under water. For a level country like this means a rise of 10 to 20 feet in the hilly seotions. BAIN AND WIND IN ANDERSON CO TNT Y.

Washington, Juno 10.-Chairman Foss, of the House Naval Affairs Committee, has informed Representative Patterson that his committee would under no cir cumstances agree to the item of $00,000 placed in the bill by the Senate to estab Duli a training station at Port Royal. Patterson then -sought an interview with Speaker Cannon in an attempt to seoure his aid iu the matter. Cannon absolutely opposed spending any more money at Port Royal, and said it had been distinctly agreed when the subjoot of making tho naval station at Charles ton was first, brought up that no more money should be spent at Port Royal, and that he would not only not help the projeot along, but would feel it his duty to block the matter in every legitimate way. He says also that there is no nse for an additional training station there, and that any more money spent on the station will bo that muoh thrown away. Patterson and Tillman have taken tho matter up. There seems to be nothing further to do in the matter, as Cannon will not allow the item to stand in the bill when it comes back to the House.

Following the direction from whioh the sound came, they discov ered a snake in the act of swallowing a frog. Just then another frog, evi dently attracted by the distressing cries of its mate in jeopardy, hopped up to the scene of action. For a moment it sat blinking at the enemy, then leaped forward, seized tho snake by the nook and tugged it into the river. The water quickly poured be tween the snakes distended jaws, and it was, of course, compelled to re lease its victim in order to esoape drowning. This it promptly did, and the liberated frog swam away with its plucky mate, while the baf fled snake wriggled, as best it could, to the shore.-Woman's Home Com panion.
