AN ODD OCCURRENCE. Chihl liitten by it Snake While Lying on a Pallet in the Field. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bailey are two industrious white people who live just outside of the city limits on lands belonging to the Gaffney Land and Improvement Company. On Monday afternoon when Mrs. Bailey went to her work in the field she carried her two children with her, as is her custom, and placed them on a pallet in or near the held. One is a young baby and the other is little girl about three years of age. Some time in the afternoon when Mrs. Bailey approached the pallet where the children lay she was hor rified to find a large snake of the pilot species lying between the two children and just in the act of strik ing the youngest one—the bady. Instead of instantly becoming paralyzed by tbe terrible situation and great danger that threatened her infant offspring and screaming for help, Mrs. Bailey immediately seized the baby and snatched it away from tbe vicious reptile. Not to be cheated of a victim, however, the snake instantly turned and buried its poisonous fangs in the foot of the other child—the little girl—before the distracted mother could pull it out of reach. Dr. Nesbit was immediately sum moned and he cauterized the wound and did what he could to ease the little one's pain, to stay the course of the poison and to pacify the anx ious mother. He soon had the child resting well and order restored. At last account the child was rapidly recovering from her wound and it is not likely that she will long suffer any inconvenience from her peculiar accident. The snake was of a very poisonous kind, though, and tbe wonder is that its bite did not pro duce more serious results. We did not learn whether the snake was killed or not, but presume that in the excitemeut of tbe moment, and having satisfied bil desire for human meat (or pure devilment,) he came to tbe conclusion that discretion was tbe better part of valor and made himself conspic uous by his nowbereness. CHANGE OF SUPERS. Mr. Moure Recovered and Resumed His Position at Paoolet Mills. The friends of Charlie A. Moore, of Pacoleb Mills, will be glad to learn that he has so far recovered bis health as to be able to resume tbe supreiutendency of tbe Tacolet cot ton mills. It will be remembered that Mr. Moore’s health became so bad some time ago that he had to relinquish bis charge of these mills and seek rest and recreation. Now, after a stay of several months in the moun tains of Western North Carolina he has so far improved as to be able to resume his former duties as superiu- teudent of the three . large mills of the Pacolet Manufacturing Company. Mr. M. G. Stone, who was at one time superintendent of the Pacolet mills and who has had charge of them during Mr. Moore’s absence, has been appointed to a like position at the New Holland Mill in Gaines- villei Ga., which is owned and con trolled by the same company as the mills at Pacolet, and he will shortly enter upon his duties at that place. Both Mr. Btone and Mr. Moore are fine mill men and are among the best in the South. GEORGE PRATT MAXIM. Wlilskojr Men Captured. One night last week State Consta ble Dillingham and Policeman Wil liams, of Cowpens, went out ou a scout for Illicit whiskey peddlers and succeeded in capturing two men, a horse and buggy and four gallons of tbe fiery liquid. Tbe men were ar rested as they were driving along tbe road near Cowpens. They were tried at Cowpens and one came clear, while the other got thirty days on the cliaingang for his part in the affair.

Mr. Maxim is a graduate and post graduate of the New England Con servatory of Music in Boston, Mass., and it is said of him that bo there learned all of music that is to be learned in that noted college of music. He is only twenty-seven years of age, but during his three years of ex perience as instructor iu music he has gained the highest distinction as a performer and as a choir leader and has become celebrated as a composer. All in all he ranks among the most noted musicians of America, and tbe authorities of Limestone College are to be congratulated upon their good fortune in securing his distinguished services. Mr. Maxim is related to the men who have made the Maxim guo fa mous. He is a married man and Mrs. Maxim will doubtless accompa ny him to Limestone. The bones of an average man’s skeleton weigh 20 pounds. Those of a woman are probably six pounds lighter. To Cure u Cold In One Daj Take Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tab lets.
