February II. 1908. dive the Charitable View a Chance. its It might be just as well for some of the over zealous friends of Judge Pritchard not to go t far in criti cising those whocritieised the judge anent the rock contract. The people of the Sute appear to be willing to pass the matter, but if there is too much denunciation it might proroke somebody to rake up natters which the statute of limitations has been pleaded. Belter not go too far. This advice is unsolicited but straight. Statesville Landmark. We feel with The landmark on this subject The over - zealous friend are miscalculating the situa tion. The willingness to pass the matter rests not Uvn the convinc ing nature of their vindication, but upon the unwillingness of North Carolinians to think evi! of men w bom they have honored. Nobody wants to believe anything wrong, it would be too humiliating to all of Therefore we give the bent lit of the doubt, lake the charitable view, and let the thing go. But the over zeal- ousmessof Judge Pntchard's friendi and their vicious attack upon Mr. Lxkhart, tho had the manliness to speak from the housetops the thin, that everybody else was mumbling in the corner, weakens their cause and mav beget retaliation, as The Landmark suggests. And while everybody is disposed to pass it by with a clnritabie con- struetion.the friends of Judge Pritch ard ought to hint to him that it would be well to avoid the appear ances of evil hereafter, for the pub lic cannot always be over-argued int the charitable view. The fathers deemed it necessary to so hedge just ice about, that there might be temptation to depart from the straight and narrow path, even involuntarily A juror cannot sit on a case if he is related by even remote blood or mar riage to the litigants; he cannot even sit upon the rights of a stranger in court if he himself has a suit pend ing on an entirely different or trivial matter. Then, is it seemly only seemly brethren, that Judge Pritch ard, sitting to trv the case of the Southern Railway, should own a ma jority of stuck in a concern that was doing a ridiculously prosperous bus iness with the road, that his son-in law should be an attorney for the road; that his son should be a physi cian for the rad. that he should have in the past been the recipient .f valuable favors from the road? Taking the charitable view, can any amount of heated statement maki this conduct seemly? Judge Pritch ard mav he more honest than most men; he may even possess so judicial a temperament that personal inllu ences cannot touch him even uncon sciously; but certainly his friends cannot blame people (who may not know him so well; for judging him by the same tests applied to other men.

The Raleigh times feels aggrived towards The Journal on account of an article in the paper last week, and we herew ith present iU remarks tn the subject: "We would not pay the slightest attention to an 'editorial' in The Monroe Journal were it not for the fact that that paper might have un intentionally printed its unkind re marks. The editorial to which we have reference begins, The Raleigh Times, referring to the number of railroad employes present in R ileigh during the session, siys:' "Here follows two paragraphs, and only two, clipped from Hie local col umns of The Eve. ing Times an in traduction to an interview with Mr. II. J. Stewart of this city, a promi nent member of the Order of Rail way Conductors. This was all The Journal cartd to reproduce just enough to mislead its honest readers and not enough to show them that The Times printed the article as a matter of news, as The Journal or any other paper would have done No editorial comment was made on the matter by this paper then or at any time since. The Greensboro Kecord eaw the sU ry, read it aright and commented on it Other papers have doubtless done likewise, but they left it for The Journal to twist and miscontrue a local story. "Even the enemies of the Evening Timet cannot honestly say that this paper refuses to give every side a show. It has ever been the policy of this paper to give everybody a square deal and no legitimate inter est is refused a bearing in the col umns of The Times. Railroad em- Eloyes, carpenters and mechanics aveacassto the local columns as freely as merchants, lawyers and bankers." And here is the extract which The Journal produced last week as the basis for the remarks to which The Times objects: "That the railroad men of this State and other Southern States will become factors in the future political fortunes of their State and will as sert themselves in councils high in the predominating parties it clearly evident, if thecommitteeof employes who hart been here for the past few days in the interest of the railway rate matters pending before the lee- isloture it to be accepted at the atli- was taken as mere statement of a supposed fact, and commented upon as such. Xo reference was made, or intended, to the policy of The Time.

The python will take up Ins abode in a neighborhood and will not disturb anything except the hen roosts. fhese he diaturhs verv much, as he has a great fondness for chickens; also for a stray uir or small cat. 1 know of one ease, however, m a floating house where a python at tacked a woman and, contrary to the preconceived idea, did nut crush her in hi folds, but attempted to wallow her, commencing with one of her feet. When she was rescued her foot and ankle were badiv lac- rated br the make' teeth. The Chinese kill the pvthon to make medicine from th liver, which has high repute among them. Thev also use the dried skin for medi cine. Anv Chinese drug flion in Siam will have a nuitilicr of python kins for rale. One of the mot important things to know about snake bites ia that the poisonous snakes, such as the hamadryad, cobra, etc., leave on the individual only two punctures of the poison fangs, while the less poison ous and hannles snuke leave, be- ides the two puncture, the marks f adventitious teeth. Ill is is most important in proguoiu, as being ailed to see person bitten who were showing gret shock it helps phvsician and patient materially to assure the patient that while he may lie verv ill, he will not die. There is onlv one fnake in the far ea.-t that is, in ludia, Hurnia, Siam and the Malar peninsula that will alwavs and at all time attack a man on tight. Thia i the hama- drvad, justly more feared than anv other animal that crawl. Fortu nately for mankind they are not m, except in limited districts. Thev are so feared by all that the native ihikarri, or hunters, will go mile out of their way to avoid the locality in which they are known to exist The hamadryad will ttalk a man a a tiger (talk hi prey. Mr. Leonowen, who a a boy was edu- ated with the present kine of Siam and who is interested in teak for est, told me he had teen elephant Jin in half an hour after being bit ten and that he always carried a hotgun loaded with buckshot when in the junglo infested by them. lie uid that one of his men, a Burmese, was chased by one and escaped by throwing tway hit clothing piece by piece, the tnake (topping each time to bite the clothing. IU shot the snake himself just at the man fell exhausted near him. Thete two snakes, the hamadryad and cobra, cause the great annual death roll of India from tnake bite, about 88,000 people but year. One reason for this great death roll it that Hindoos and Buddhists will not kill the snakes, at it is sgaintt their religion to take life. The cobra ill go away from you usually, ex cept in the netting season, snd then he will attack you on sight if you disturb him or his mate. It it at thia time that so many deaths take place among the Maay and Sia mese, as it is coincident with the rice planting season and the peasants are busUr at work in the rice fields. The cobra will bite under water. and many people are bitten on the loot or heel while pi"'ing rice. Death usually takes place in an hear or let. I have known a large buf falo to be bitten and die in fifteen minutes. It must bar been bitten directly into a vers. In the Malay peninsula and in Siam no one ever walks abroad after dark without a lamp or torch, at it roves almost suicidal to do so. tedical Journal. nUuit In beaver bat. 1 see that beaver hat the tlrst thing when 1 remember him, and, a mui mi say, he groups himself miller it.
