Nine Months Cut to Five Days?Mack Wilson, Negro, to Serve Five Years. Bte7 1 * ~ ^ Orangeburg, Jan. 21.?The sentence in the case against Claiide J. Rast has been reduced by Judge Prince from nine months and a fine of $500 to five days' imprisonment and a ^ fine of $500. Two weeks ago Rast wa? convicted on a charge of official misconduct while he served as one of the township commissioners of Or. angeburg county. The defendant had J * """ onnaol tn tho Cll.

The court of general sessions for Orangeburg county adjourned todoy, & after two weeks' session. The last case of importance tried dnrinsr the term was that against Mack Wilson, negro, charged with attempted assault upon the wife of a ^ white farmer about six miles from Orangeburg. The defendant had no lawyer and as the crime was punishable with death upon straight conviction, the court appointed J. Leroy Dukes of the local bar to defend Wilson. The jury found the negro guilty, with recommendation to mercy. The sentence was to serve five years 4 apon the tosnty chain gang. f: ' |& FROM MR. SPOTTER | Fish Pon, S. S., Jan. 24th, A. D. 1922.

It was printed in The National Reader in 1836, and its author v> ao u . iku^oci. "Outvenams all the worms of Nile."? Shakespeare. "Who has not heard of the rattlesnake or copperhead? An unexpected sight of either of these reptiles will make even the lord of creation recoil; but there is a species of worm, found in various parts of this state, which * - x J conveys a poison 01 a nature so ueauly, that, compared with it, even the venom of the rattle-snake is harm-, less. To guard our readers against this foe of human kind, is the object of this communication. | "This worm varies much in size. It j is frequently an inch through, but, as it is rarely seen, except when coiled, I its length can hardly be conjectured. It is of a dull lead colour, and generally lives near a spring or small stream of water, and bites the unfortunate people, who are in the 'habit of going there to drink. The brute creation it never molests. They avoid it with the same instinct that teaches the animals of Peru to shun the deadly coya. "Several of these reptiles have long infested our settlement, to the misery and destruction of many of our fellow citizens. I have, therefore, had frequent opportunities of bein-g the TMAlrtwftkAlw PinA/i+O+Al* Af tho uiciau^uuijr sycviaiui ui vnv w ~ produced by the subtle poison which this worm infuses. "The symptoms of its bite are terrible. The eyes of the patient become red and fiery, his tongue swells to an immoderate size, and obstructs his utterance; and delirium, of the most horrid character, quickly follows. Sometimes, in his madness, he attempts the destruction of his nearest friends. " Tf cnfforor hac a mailv. his il tiiO UU1A Vi V4 w , weeping wife and helpless infants are not unfrequently the objects of his frantic fury. In a word, he exhibits, to the life, all the detestable passions that rankle in the bosom of a savage; and, such is the spell in which his senses are locked, that, no sooner has the unhappy patient recovered from the paroxysm of insanity, occasioned by the bite, than he seeks out the destroyer, for the sole purpose of being bitten again. "I have seen a goodxdd father, his locks as white as snow, his steps slow and trembling, beg in vain for his only son to quit the lurking place of the worm. My heart bled when he turned away; for I knew the fond hope, that his son would be the 'staff of his declining years,' had supported through many a sorrow. "Youths of Mississippi, would you know the name of this reptile? It is called the Worm of the Still." I "Where Wuz You Las' August?" The temperature dropped suddenly late yesterday and a wind that cut to tVin mnrrnxxr whinnpd around corners and eddied irj. alleys. A thinly clad negro of ginger-cake hide bustled out of the alley between The Index-Journal building and the Greenwood bakery. As he reached Maxwell avenue, a gust struck him that moulded his palm beach clothes to his rawboned frame. He pulled his threadbare coat as closely as possible about his neck and shivered. "Lawd Gawd, wind, where wuz you las' Augus'Y" he commented between chattering teeth.?Greenwood Index-Journal. R. P. BELLINGER ATTORNEY-AT-LAW " General Practice in All Coui'ts.

Pursuant to recommendation of the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the landowners of the county cultivating lands adjacent and adjoining public roads are hereby urgently requested not to plow into or allow their hands to plow into the roads. Landowners are requested to plant two or three rows of crops adjacent to roads parallel with the road, so that there may be proper turning space without the necessity of turning plows in the roads. It is against the law to allow plows to damage the roads, and it is an unnecessary practice. The county spends large sums of money in road building, and the roads belong to the people. I have no desire to prosecute anybody, but I must insist that this practice be stopped immediately. The farmers and tenants can cooperate in cms respect, and there should be no necessity to bring action against anybody. Pull notice is being given before I take such action. W. B. SMOAK, Supervisor.
