Editor (.ta& liiott'o. "f the Pickens

'Greenville Piedmont that a hoit~ed
snake is a familar sight in Pickens
County. And' it seems that this
Pickens brand of hornAl shake is aQso
the celebrated, hoop-snake. When
stiruck a mortal blow it jumps up
spits in its hand and sticks its horn in
.the ground. When it Jekyll-H'ydes

There are 35.000,000 Ukrainians, most

The Ukraine is larger than Ger

stretches front the Carpathian Uoun

alullela and the fatnous Donetz coal

The wires are connected with a
