CAT WHIPS A RATTLESNAKE.
Claws Flesh from'the Reptile's Head
Until it is Conquered.
S. D. Shipman, living eight miles
south of this city, just across the
Monroe county line, relates an unusual
incident that occurred at his
home last week, says the Indianapolis
News. While he and his family
were at dinner they heard a strange
sound just outside the door. Looking
up, they saw a big rattlesnake,
coiled and ready to strike, while a
"At nnito twft VPflrs old.
XiidUCdc vai) uvc 4uiw v??v ^ ww.~ w-?7
was going around the ?nake in a
circle.
Mr. Shipman said he never heard
such a noise from a cat as that cat
made in its fight with the snake. As
the snake would strike, the cat would
jump back, and as the reptile drew
?ack its head for another stroke the
Sat would strike the snake on top of
the head, sinking its claws their full
lepgth. When the snake would not
Show a disposition to strike, the cat
twould seize it by the rattles with its
claws and torment it into striking.
The cat was too quick for the snake
and would dodge it every time.
The performance was kept up until
nearly all the flesh was clawed
from the top of the snake's head.
* The rattler began to show signs of
weariness and attempted to crawl
away. Mr. Shipman said he was
afraid it would crawl under the
house, so he took a hand in the affair
and killed it. The cat was not
injured the least bit during the
strange combat.
/ - Some months ago Mr. Shipman lost
a horse as the result of a snake's bite
?and a blue-racer at that, too.
Blue-racers have been said to be
harmless, but that is not true, said
Mr. Shipman. One day, while one of
his horses was lying in the shade of
a tree, he saw a blue-racer crawl out
toward it. He went into the house,
got his rifle, and thought to kill the
snake. But it saw him and started
to escape, getting between him and
the horse so that he could not shoot.
In its haste it crawled over the postrate
horse, and as it did so struck
the animal on the hip three times.
The horse, of course, was frightened,
v- and jumped up suddenly, throwing
the snake to the ground. Within a
few minutes the wound began to
swell, and the swelling continued until
the horse died, within a few hours.
^ * X
Strange Things Happen Sometimes.
At this particular time it happened
on the streets of Bamberg. The
writer was driving through Calhoun
street a few days ago, and just as he
was nearing its extreme Northern
end, hearing a noise to his left, he
stopped and immediately a real live
bear got in and seated himself very
comfortably by his side in the buggy.
Well, I am not prepared to say what
some of your readers would have done
had it been one of you, but realizing
my position I sat still and drove on,
for it is said if one will hold his
breath while a bear is close by he is
not apt to be attacked, so you may
be assured mine was firmly held between
my breathing spells, and I urged
my nag right along. He was of
' the grizzly type, and although he held
his position for an hour or more, he
did not seem at all vicious, but appeared
perfectly satisfied that he
would be kindly treated, and I would
like.to know who would not treat
t one otherwise, especially while so
close, we got aiong iainy wen together
until we reached some fields
of cotton. Then he began to show
his natural instinct by throwing his
eyes here and there apparently sizing
up each stalk and limb to its
highest limit, seeming confident that
- there would be a plenty to satisfy
himself, and as they generally have
long claws he seemed to want to
draw the product of the whole plant
over in his own favor; but some how
they have a considerable disliking
for certain of the cow element called
a bull. It is said that cows at a distance
have long horns, and I suppose
that bulls must have, too, for they
manage every now and then to gore
loose the tightly gripped claws of the
bear and allow others to enjoy at
least a portion of the products of the
plant, and as he had a fondness for
this special plant, he most naturally
belongs to the species called the Cot
ton Bear. j. u. T.

Eczema Cured.
Nothing could be more annoying
or disfiguring than Eczema; and few
skin diseases are harder to cure.
Tetterine allays the itching and
burning; and absolutely destroys the
cause by killing the germs that eat
into the tender coatings and cause
decay. Tetterine is a prompt and effective
cure for Tetter, Ground Itch.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few j*ears was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney Co.,
Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitiitional cure
on the market. It Is taken internally in doses

" PROHIBITION IX MAINE.
Rev. John L. Harley Gives Statistics
from Leading Men.
Spartanburg, S. C., July 30, 1908.
Editor the Bamberg Herald: It is
now time that the citizens of our beloved
State should know something
of the wily ways and pernicious
tricks of the liquor element of this
country. I submit herewith some
facts for the consideration of the
readers of your paper. There has
been issued recently a full-page advertisement
of misrepresentations
about prohibition in Maine. This is
being offered in plate form to the
daily papers of the United States free
of charge. If it appears in any paper
in South Carolina, let it be remembered
that it is nothing more nor less
than a full-page whiskey advertisement
gotten out by the "ad." man
of the National Liquor Dealers' Protective
Bureau, No 27 William Street,
New York City. This No. 27 William
Street, New York is the headquarters
' * 9
of the "brewers' ana aisuuers cuucational
campaign committee." The
writer of these misrepresentations
may not sign his name to his documents,
so I suppose it might be well
to state: He is known as Cyrus C.
Turner. In this connection the following
statements from a few of the
officials of Maine might not be amiss.
Hear them:
United States Senator from Maine,
William P. Frye, writes August 19,
^907:
"Our statute has driven from all
the country portions of the State the
sale and use of alcoholic drinks. In
the cities enforcement is more difficult,
but in those where popular sentiment
is behind it, violations are infrequent.
In my opinion a good majority
of our people stand pat for the
law."
Congressman Llewellyn Powers,
who admits that he is personally so
conservative on the prohibition issue
that he has frequently been opposed
by strong elements in his own party,
writes (1907):
"The selling and the public drinking
of intoxicating liquors is decidedly
under the ban of public opinion,
and the law has prevented absolutely
any selling in more than four-fifths
of the towns of Maine, and it has taken
away very much of the temptation
for young men to indulge in alcoholic
drinks. I do not believe that
the people of the State of Maine will
ever permit the licensing of the saloon
in their midst again."
The , following statements from
Charles E. Owen. Superintendent jot
the Anti-Saloon League of Maine,
bearing date July 24, 1908, are interesting:
"When we were under license over
fifty years ago Maine was one of the
poorest and most drunken States in
the Union. We are told that then
Maine men were spending $20.00
per capita annually for drink, and
that to-day they are spending fifteen
cents. The Maine farms were neglected,
the people shiftless and their
homes mortgaged. Then there were
but five savings banks in the State,
with a total savings deposit of
$90,000.00. We have now fiftyseven
savings banks; twenty-two
building and loan associations,
and thirty-seven trust companies,
with an aggregate savings account
of $113,000,000. We don't know
what license would have done for us
in this time, but we know that New
Hampshire reported a loss of 30,000
savings bank depositors during the
first three years of license after having
abandoned prohibition.
"In prohibition Maine 49 per cent,
of her people own their homes; in
liepnsp Massachusetts 19 ucr cent.:
in license Connecticut 18 per cent.;
in license New York 17 per cent."
Our people are also being told of
the failure of prohibition in Kansas.
The liquor people have agents travelling
all over South Carolina giving
away literature, taking orders for liq- .
uor and drumming into our people !
false statements in regard to prohibition
everywhere, but with especial
reference to Maine and Kansas. I
have met them, heard them talk, and
have more than once made them quiet
as a church mouse by confronting 'r
them with the facts. Hon. C. W.
Trickett, Assistant Attorney General
of Kansas, has recently published ]
statements from the largest banks in '
Kansas City in regard to the effect of ,
prohibition on business. We give ;
these statements here without com- J
ment. ,
"Home State Bank of Kansas City, ,
Kan., February 1, 1907.
"Mr. C. W. Trickett, Kansas City, :
Kan.?Dear Sir: With reference to your
inquiry concerning condition of
our business as compared with that ;
of June, 1906, we beg to state that r
our deposits have grown from $95,- -
000 oil June 30, 1906,- to $132,000
on 30th of January, 1907, an increase
of 40 per cent., and the volume of our <
business has increased in a greater .
proportion. The month of January
just closed has shown a large increase
in business as compared with
the depressing month of January last
year, when the joints were in full
blast. During the month three times i
as many new savings accounts were
opened as in the month of January a '
year ago. To us it looks like a cl/ear
case of 'when the people are not permitted
to spend money for a bad cause ;
they will invest it for a good purpose.'
"Respectfully yours,
"HOME STATE BANK,
"J. W. Bullinger, Cashier."
I come now to our largest bank,
the one that carries the accounts of
a large majority of the business men,
and I ask you to note carefully what
they say.
"The Commercial National Bank,
Kansas City, Kan., January 30, 1907.
"Mr. C. W. Trickett, Asst. Atty.
Gen., Kansas City, Kan.?Dear Sir:
Replying to your inquiry with reference
to general conditions since the
closing of the joints of this city, will
say that on June 30. 1906, our deposits
were $2,461,911.82, and thatat
close of business last night, January
29th, they were $2,969,230.17,
an increase of $507,318.35 in seven '
months, the largest increase of new
business we have made in any period
of the same length of time since organization.
We think we have accounts
of Inore than 50 per cent, of
the business houses of the city, and
lave tailed with a large number of
them with reference to the effect of
the closing of the joints on their business,
and almost without exception
they have expressed themselves as
pleased, and many of them more than
pleased with the result. Many of
them have stated that it was the best
six months they have ever had, and
we believe that this feeling is shared
by a large majority of the professional
men and other intelligent citizens
of the city. I have heard many of
our best citizens who were formerly
inclined to think the closing of the
joints would hurt the city now express
themselves as hoping we will
never go back to the old regime.
During my residence of over sixteen
years in this city conditions have never
been so good as at the present
time. Very respectfully yours,
"C. L. BROKAW, .Cashier."
JOHN L. HARLEY,
State Superintendent.
