If our forefathers could have foreseen the coming of the automo bile and what the auto has demand ed in the matter of traffic accom moationsd, they would have laid out the town streets half a mile wide. ! The only town in the Nation that has streets which would make the automobile smile with satisfaction is McBee. in South Carolina. the streets there are as wide as a block is long. Towns that were laid out before "city planning" was known, are experiencing the automobile wor ry in aggravated form. With Charlotte it became a question of widening some of the streets or of capitulating to the auto. It hap pened that the coming of a new building on an important corner brought the narrow street question to a crisis. The street was widened, and in addition to furnishing the town with an excellent example in modern department store construc tion, Mr. Ivey started the street widening enterprise on its way. Peo ple have seen the widened street and wondered at the transforma tion. It was not surprising, there fore, that the city commissioners were encouraged in the work of giving business Charlotte more room, W idening of College street is anoth er immediate prospect and conver sion of a block-long alley into a traf fic street is another improvement in sight. In the laying of new streets and v. idening of old thoroughfares, the iiresent administration is work ing a transformation in Charlotte that makes for enlarged business and tc establishment of conditions of comfort and safety.

A negro named Alberry Wilkins of Gaffney, S. C, has on one of his hands arms and chest, the complete outline of a snake, which seems to contradict the physicians opinion that there is no such thing as a birth mark. Wilkins is a trusted employee of the Victor Oil Mill of Gaffney, and any statement which he makes to those who know him is accepted with confidence . According to his statement, about three months be fore his birth, a man threw a snake which he thought was dead, upon the chest of his mother, but the snake was still living, the wo man being badly frighten thereby, and that she clasped her hands across her chest. When Alberry was born the mark of the serpent was plainly outlined on his arm and chest, and can now be plainly seen. One strange thing about the case is that Wilkins seems to oe immune to the poison from the reptiles and that he handles them with impunity, going so far as to infuriate them in to striking him but the poison has no effect on his system. In the win ter when it is cold hard scales form on the picture of the snake, and it is with the greatest ease that Wilkins strike matches on his band, but in summer it becomes as soft as the rest of his hand. Wilkins is about 27 years old and any one who doubts the foregoing may see him at the Victor Cotton Mill in Gaffney.
