Last Week.
Snake stories euuir and snake stor
ies go, but listen to this one! While
cleaning off a creek bank near his
I home at Qeorgeville last week, Mr.
M F. Barrier, a well citizen of No.
0 township, killed a big copperhead
snake, measuring about four feet in
length. With the snake were 03 lit
tle snakes and when the parent's life
ended their end followed also, nrak
ing 64 snakes killed by Mr. Harrier
t one "snake killing.
This-in the second big snake killing
reported from Cabarrus. I-ast week
Mr. Rufus Cook from No. 5 reported
.13 snakes killed.
Owing to the removal of tin
'snake bite" remedy from this sec
tion, the opinion is advance)! that the
wholesale slaughter of the snake.)
will not only free the country from
undesirable reptiles but may cause
a depression in the "snake bite"
medicine market. Since the news
has gone abroad that 07 snakes have
bren removed from Cabarrus less
bites will be anticipated and thereby
less "bite" reined v ordered.

Daniels Making History.
Charlotte Observer.
It was evident that the opinion
Secretary Daniels formed ot the
Navy Department was that it had
become antiquated and wedded to
tin traditions of the past. It was
also evident that the Secretary of
the navy was in need of rejuvena
tion from keel to upper deck. lie
proceeded to rejuvenate it. Some
of his orders proved radical depar
tures from established customs nnd a
flurry of criticism naturally follow
ed, but by this the Secretary was
undisturbed. Careful analysis in
clined the thoughtful to the belief
that Secretary Daniels' ideas would
work to the improvement of condi
tions in Ihe Navxy, and this opinion
has been growing upon the country.
So it comes to pass that when Mr. i
Daniels issued orders establishing n j
new svstem of dealing with deser
tions in the Navy, and this opinion
first consider the merits of the or
ders, and criticise afterward. Sec
retary Daniels has overturned a sys
tem which has prevailed over 100
years, and which, like other details
of naval management, was out ot
sorts with the .new conditions which
have arisen in t'e past century.
The Navy has an enlistment about
up to the limit provided by law and
there are some discontented men in
it. These will be permitted to secure
tl.cir discharge by refunding the cost
of the allowances made for them for
clotliin- and other supplies. Fur
ther, the punishment for desertion
in times of neace will be dishonorable
discharge, instead, of imprisonment.
The naval prisons will be abolished
and nn expense Of $1,000,000 a year
saved the Government, but more im
portant ot all, this new system will
open the way to enlistment of a large
number of applicants now on" the
waiting list. The ultimate effect of
Secretary Daniels' new regulations
will be to weed out the inferior ma
terial in the Navy and to replact it
with a higher class of recruits, ad
vancing the personnel to the high
est attainable notch. The Observer
believes that as Secretary of the
Naw Mr. Daniels is even now mak
in a record which will be vindicated
by experience in history as a. man of
accomplishments,, .
