A CAR LOAD OF ANTS.
%
Little Enemies of Boll Weevil Imported From
Central America.
r > A car load of ants.
i Think of the statement for a moment
and try and calculate how many of the
insects compose a car load?no doubt a
few thousand, perhaps a few million.
A car load of ants came through Augusta
a few days since and caused a good
deal of comment among the railroadmen
for never before had such a cargo been
shipped through Augusta.
The ants were encased in glass tubes
about a foot long and were billed for
New Orleans. They were the Central
America species that are said to be enemies
to the cotton boll weevil.
The ants came by steamer to Charleston
and were sent from that city to Augusta,
and on to New Orleans. The C.&
W. C. handled this unusual shipment
from Charleston to Augusta.?Augusta

To Build a Bailroad.
Chablotte, N. C.,Sept. 21.?A special
to The Observer from Chester, S. C., says
that Dr. W. Gill Wylie, president of the
Southern Power Co., today announced
that his company had decided to build
a railroad from Harmony, a station on
the Seaboard railway, to Camden, a distance
of 60 miles, connecting at Fort
Lawn with a link from the company's
plant at Catawba falls. The work of surveying
the route will begin at an early
x date. The proposed road will cost over

FOR ATTEMPT TO POISON.
John Miller, of Laurens, Gets a Ten YeaY Sentence
in Pen.
Laurens, Sept. 20.?Today in the court
of general sessions, John Miller, a young
negro farm hand, was convicted of admin
I istering poison with intent to kill and
and was given a sentence of ten years in
the State prison.
The indictment under which Miller was
tried charged Wash Car wile and defendant
with attempting to poison an entire
family, consisting of Mr. E. W.Ferguson,
his wife, mother, an aunt and some of the
colored servants and hands employed on
the place, by placing in the well from
which every one on the. premises used
water, a bag containing a snake's head
a frog, a lizzard, and a quantity of stuff
said to have been a composition of match
heads and other, things of a poisonous
character. The fact that Mr. Ferguson
and other members of the family were
made very sick about the same time led
to an investigation which revealed the
presence of the horrible mixture in the
drinking water.
Carwile and Miller were suspected of
the deed. Miller was promptly arrested
but Carwile escaped and has not been apprehended
yet. Both negroes and their
families quit using the water on Sunday
before the Fergusons were made sick on
Tuesday. It was brought out in the trial
today that the negroes were close friends
and during the year had given Mr. Ferguson
considerable trouble, complaining
that they were not being treated right
and that they would even up things when
their time was out. On the 12th of July
their contracts being out they were paid
off. Three days later the poison was
found in the well. It was a diabolical
deed and Judge Memminger said in passing
the sentence on Miller that the 10 year
limit was too light.
Every man owes it to himself and his
family to master a trade or profession.

Not Altogether Satisfactory
A young civil engineer employed some
years ago on the line of the Alabama
Midland railroad, while he was at work
in Henry county, Alabama, chanced to
meet a piney woods lass with whom he
became infatuated. Among the collection
of gifts which he presented to her was a
parrot and very pretty cage. After leaving
the section where his lady love resided
he returued to pay her a visit. After a
stay at her home of a few minutes, he
casually inquired, "Mary, how did you
like your parrot?" With some hesitation
she replied. -"Not so well, the meat was
rather tough." She had cooked the bird
and eaten it.
