A Snake Stoby.
Mr. Mark Jones called en us yesterday
to tell us of bis encounter with a big
snake a few days ago on Laurel branch.
He was sauntering up the-mountain, gun
on shoulder, when he came suddenly up
on the largest snake he had ever seen
lying stretched out in the Bun at the foot
of a precipitous rock, lie was startled
both at the size of the snake and its un
usual form. As it lay.it was between six
and seven reet long, its head large and
I .1 I T 1 ..1A - I
monstrous, me uoay aoqub it iucukb in
circumference, ot almost equal size from
head to tail, the latter terminating in a
blunt wedge shaped finial. The color
was black and white. tied. After a good
look. Mr. Jones fired, breaking the back.
When shot the snake ejected from its
mouth a young turkey upon which it had
made its breakfast. The bird was dead,
of course .and wasabout one-third grown.
A negro boy amused himself thrusting
the head ot a large club into the mouth
of the still live reptile , which sport was
resented by the vicious snapping and
closing of the iaws upon the clubi making
a noise as the teeth struck the wood that
could be heard a.long way off. Mr. Jonea
who has much experience with moun
tain snakes says he has never seen one
like this, nor one so formidable.

tion of having doneiheir full duty

need not all speak at once.) But
with her elegant new hotels, her
macadamised streets, her water
works and her street rail way s,to say

here is so mueh to be said and done by

here. The best possible thing to do is
to come down and enjoy the treat to

ride, over one of the best railroads in the
country, and then, too, the scenery is so
lovely and picturesque. Par parenthesis

Drawing, in all of its unique and com
plicated methods , was ably presented by
Prof. Randall, who is a genius in his re
spective branch of teaching. His theory
is that nature is full of unknown things,
the best teacher, and the chart of God,
from whence comes everything beautiful
and grand therefore copy after her and
follow her in all the details oi your work.
Many topics on practical and thorough
education, the mode, manner and im
portance of this subject, has been gen
ally discussed to-day by some of the best
talent in the Teachers' Convention.
The lecture by Prof. Henry, of Chapel
Hill, last evening was a Tnasterly effort.

merit, both as a delineator and as an ex

OUR SPRING CREEK LETTER.-

Editors Citizen. thought I .would
write up some lines from this part of
Madison, as there has been nothing from

begin with the rain and mud.' There
have been such an abundance of rain
this season that heat, it is feared, will
be greatly damaged if the rain continue
much longer. V- ; ' - .'. i
The farmers are so badl v behind with
their crops that the prospects -for a good
harvest are dark. "Gen. Green" has, it
seems, made his final race and without
dry weather soon will be sure to win a
victory in many cases.
. Clover and oats are looking better than
ever jenown oeiore; but . clover wlU
soon be - damaging for the want of
mowing.
Messrs. Editors, the time for holdin
ixtiiveniions is near at nand, and it is
hoped that the people will begin to
agitate' the stock law in Madison, as I
think it would be a good thing foe the
farmers of this county. - Let's look to the
lime wnen our Juepresentatiye will push
the stock law through for Madison !

We . were shown by Mr. J. II. Isbell
the plans of the new court house build
ing which the commissioners of Jackson
county have resolved to build. We give
them credit for their public spirit and
liberality, though to tell the truth, the
necessity was upon them and they had
to build or stand looking ruefully on the
old structure no court was brave enough
to occupy. But they have moved, and
in the right direction. The plan which
was designed by Air. isbell, and which
we presume will be adopted, is well adap
ted to public uses. The building is to be
of brick, two stories high, with a tower
at the end rising to effective' architectural
elevation." The lower story is to- be
divided up into the county offices. A
wide passage way extends from end to
end, and another crossesZthe middle.
transversely", giying four entrance ways.
A broad double stair way ascends from
the tower basement to the vestibule of
the court room on the second floor. This
court room 50x40 has a pitch of 18 feet:
about half is allotted to spectators, seats
being provided for them: the remainder
is appropriated to the bar, the Judge and
jury, tne wnoie being arranged with re
gard to convenience and comfort. In the
rear are the jury rooms, large and acces
sible both from the court room and from
below.
The exterior is strikingly handsome.
and the whole plan combines all the
ideals of a useful and convenient public
building. Mr. Wagner, the architect,
whose experience mates him authority
in such "matters, expresses the opinion
that the court house at Webster, - con
structed on the plans presented, will be
one of the best boil dings, for its uses in
this utate. . . -

Mr. Merrimon has no superior at the
car in w estern aona Carolina. In point
of legal attainment and high character
he stands among the ablest and most
talented.
An industrious student, he is thor
oughly grounded in the principles of the
Law. An active advocate, he is welt
acquainted with the practice and pro
cedure of the Court. A prompt, energetic
business man he is peculiarly fitted for
the office oi a Superior Court Judge. An
honest, upright citizen he would be im
partial and incorruptible. A zealous
juemocrat, he is worthy the honor. .
It is well to put our ablest lawyers on
ine uencu. w e want the master intellect
of the profession there, A judge should
be something more than a mere average
lawyer -he should twer Above hi Iptml

The long delay in the trial of civil
causes is brineinz our Court into disfavor
if not disrepute. The evil may be par

.basy-going. indulgent iodizes are aeree
able companions for the lawyers; make
pleasant impressions on the public; and
sometimes win the favor of people in no

respected. His selection would strengthen
the Democratic ticket. This is a con
sideration not to be overlooked. The
contest this year is likely to be close: and
we must put out a strong, popular judicial
ticket, or see Republican judges elected.
