Hied Words oi Encouragement From
W F Clayton as to Klngstree's School.
Editor County Record:
In your issue of February 14,
appears this editorial squib;
"Kingstree should be more than
ever proud of the noble edifice
that stands a monument to her
educational enterprise. It is
now paid for." There is nothing
that your enterprising paper
could print that should give
more joy than the announcement
that your graded school
building has been paid for. Perhaps
you do not know that at
our school meeting in Florence
when opposition appeared to
our erecting a school building
that would cost about $45,(K>0,
the Kingstree school building
was argued by myself and had
effect, when I told them that
there was Kingstree with per
haps one-fourth of the taxable
property that Florence had, willing
to put from ten to fifteen
thousand in a school building,
and yet we hesitated on enlarging
our building. It had its
effect, and we are now erecting
our building, but $45,000 in
Florence, considering the value

sura of fifteen thousand dollars
as expended by Kingstree. And
it is paid for, what a sweet
word. It shows a people up to
the limit of progress. For four
years I was a member of the
State Board of Education and
from the information gained
there, I say to any community,
let your streets if neccessary
grow up in weeds, let your
streets be without lights, let
your town be without police
protection, but never neglect
your schdols. Bring* them to
the highest state of perfection.
Perhaps an education is all you
have to leave your child. Let
him have it. It may be mere to
bim than money. Without it he
in a cork upon the stream, driven
any way that the winds of
gain and deception may waft
bim. Kingstree is to be congratulated,
and the men and
women that have engineered
this school building are entitled
to the nami of benefactors.

"RACCOON BILL" PASSED.
Despite Humorous Amendments House
Sent Bill to Third Reading!
The house had a little fun with
Mr. Woods' bill toregulute the hunt
ing of opossums, raccoons and minks.
Mr. Woods' humorous speech on
the subject in which he sud newspapers
had 110 right to criticise his
action, put the house in an uproar,
but .Speaker Whaby managed to
quell th? disorder despite the crowded
galleries. The bill says:
' Section 1. That from and after
tbe passage of this act it shall i.e
nnlawful to take, kill or worry any
o'possnm, raccoon, otter or mink
between the loth day of April and
the 15th day of September in any y? ar
by any meaus whatsoever.
"Sec. 2. That it shall be unlawful
to catch, take, kill or worry any
of the animals mentioned in this
net at any time by any means whatsoever,
except with dogs or guns.
"Sec. 3. The violation of this act
shall be a misdemeanor punishable
by a fine of not exceeding $1,000 or
imprisonment not exceeding -JO j
days."
One member wanted to amend by i
inserting "Brer Fox anil Brer Babbit"
ami by notifying Joel Chand-j
!er Harris of the passage of the bill, j
Mr Dixon said tadpoles anl bull-j
frogs should be exempted also. Mr j
Kershaw begged the house to take;
the bill seriously and on his motion !
it was ordered to a third reading!
although it had an unfavorable re- j
port? The Stele.
Whether or not Dr Woods' [justly j
! celebrated Raccoon bill becames law
we are not at present informed as j
we have not had time to peruse care-.

to think however 'hat the Raccoon
Dill got lost in the shuffle.

REFUSED TO STRIKE.
An Incident of the 8horter Hour Movement
In Russia.
During a period when the waiters
and chambermaids were forcibly
out of the Warsaw hotels and restaurants
on strike many of the
coTOontq in nvivotn hmiCAQ TO
fused to leave their work, and those
who did go into the streets ?oon returned.
A servant in the employ of one
old nobleman, who does not exact
much work from his household, received
the men who had come to
persuade him to join them, reclining
on a sofa.
"What do you gentlemen want?"
he asked languidly when the four
delegates were ushered into his
presence by the scared kitchen
maid.
"You must come into the
CtTAAffl ^
' "But what for?"
'"To join the general strike for a
uniform eight hour day."
The servant sprang from his sofa.
"How dare you even suggest such
a thing?" he demanded indignantly.
"I never heard of anything like it
in my life! Eight hours, indeed!
Why, you won't find a self respecting
footman in the town to support
such a movement!"
"How many hours do you work ?"
asked the astonished delegate;;, who
looked upon all domestic servants
as white slaves.
"Two or three at the most. 1
spend much of my time cn this sofa
reading the newspapers, which are
very interesting just now. I can
just see myself walking about the
muddv streets to get eight hours'
work a day! I'm not fool enough
for that, gentlemen!"
"Then give us some money for
the committee," the deputation
urged.
"Xever! I should be acting
against all my principles if I gave
as much as 1 cent toward supporting
an organization which is in favor
of domestic servants working
eight hours a day!"?Pall'Mall Gazette.
A Hopeless Case.
Carl vie wa s terribly bored by the
persistent optimism of his friend
Emerson. "1 thought," he said,
"that I would try to cure him, so I
took him to some of the lowest
parts of London and showed him all
that was going on there. This done,
I turned to him, saying, 'And noo,
man, d'ye believe in the deevil 1100?'
'Oli, no!' he replied. 'All these people
seem to mc only parts of the
great machine, and on the whole I
think they are doing their work
very satisfactorily.' Then," continued
the sage, "I took him doun to
the hoose o' commons, where they
put us under the gallery. There 1
showed him 'ac chiel getting up after
aniiher and leeing and lceing.'
Then I turned to him and said,
'And noo, man, d'ye believe in the
deevil noo?' lie made me, however,
just the same answer as before,
and I then gave him up in despair."
The Ostrich's Mistake.
A trained ostrich recently disconcerted
its exhibitor at a music hall
by continually endeavoring to break
away from all restraint and to climb
over the fpotlights into the orchestra.

SERPENT POISON.
The Venom of the Cobra Is Deadly Almost.
Beyond Belief.
It was in the autumn of 1891
that Calmette, while acting as director
of the Bacteriological institute
of Saigon, Cochin China, first
commenced his experiments on the
neutralization of serpent venom ir
the animal system. He had exceptional
opportunities in the mattei
of serpent venom wherewith to carry
out his investigations, inasmuch
as a band of cobras, had recently attacked
a village in the vicinity oi
Baclieu, and by order of the governor
of the district no fewer than
ninety specimens of the terrible Naja
tripudians, or cobra de capello.
were forwarded in a barrel to the
institute.

alive, and several were at once sacrificed
to secure their venom glands.
Each gland, resembling both in size
and shape a shelled almond, contains
about thirty drops of venom,
find in this transparent limpid liquoi
is embodied a toxin of extraordinary
strength. As i3 wjll known,
this cobra is the most dreaded oi
all serpents, and it is widely distributed
over India, Burma, Sumatra,
Java, Malacca and Cochin China.
Until Calmette, however, set
to work to systematically study the
nature of this reptile's venom but
little precise or reliable information
had been obtained as to its
character. It was, of course, necessary
in the first instance to ascertain,
within as narrow a limit as
possible, the exact degree of toxic
power inherent in the venom and to
determine if possible the precise
dose lethal in respect of each variety
of animal experimented upon.
A correct calculation of the quantity
of venom required in every case
was, however, found to be quite iranossible.
for so virulent is the
A '
poison that a single drop of an
emulsion produced by pounding up
eight glands in 300 grams of distilled
water is sufficient, when introduced
into the vein of a rabbit's
ear, to kill it in five minutes. All
the mammals to which Calmette administered
this cobra venom, such
as monkeys, dogs, rabbits, guinea
pigs and rats, succumbed more or
less quickly, according to the size
of the dose.?Westminster Gazette.
Holyroocl's Chapel Royal.
Those who lament the results of
much of the so called restoration in
our ancient buildings will not be
sorry to know that Holyrood's Chapel
Royal is to be left untouched, for
with that crumbling pile r.ro bound
I up many historical memories. In
I that chapel the beginnings of Anglo
Scottish union were made when at
the altar there James IV. was united
to Margaret Tudor, the "marriage
of the thistle and the rose."
There Queen Mar}' was twice mated?to
Darnley first and afterward
to Bothwell. Ilolyrood palace, as
we know it now, was mostly the
handiwork of Charles II.'s craftsmen.
James II. turned the Chapel
Royal into a Romish building. In!
deed, he wished to restore Ilolyrood
entirely to its original monastic
purposes. But he reckoned without
the dour Scots' temperament, and
the vestments and ornaments were
ruthlessly torn from the chapel and
burned, by an Edinburgh mob.?
