ROUGH DOINGs In WEST FELICI
stF% ANA


Through an editorial in the Felici-
ana Sentinel, the startling informa-
ton reaches us that some of the West
Feliciana people have gotten it into
their heads to prevent wealthy mer-
chants from purchasing lands and in
vesting their means in planting on
an extensive scale; for the alleged
reason that such men having ready
means at their command will attract
to their places the pick among the
laborers of their parish.
This deplorable idea has led some
parties to inaugurate reign OF ter
FOR, the effect of which will be to
cause moneyed men to invest their
surplus capital in localities offering
better guarantees for the protection
OF life and property.
The Sentinel tells us that few
nights ago, lot of lumber for build
ing purposes was deliberately barn
ed on o place owned by Mr.. Freyhan,
public spirited merchant of st.
Francisville, who had intended to
apply his earnings towards the devel-
opment Of the agricultural industries
of the parish in which he has amassed
b considerable fortune.
Strange to say, that instead of be-
ing applauded for the good example
he is setting to that too numerous
class of men who "pull up stakes
from community, when they have
gathered a sufficlency, Mr.. Freyhan,
is set upon and deferred from the
praiseworthy object of turning idle
acres into productive fields.
We can't believe thai the good peo-
pie of West Feliciana are going to
give cOuntenance to SO destructive a
movement, which must soon result in
sdriving away from its limits not
only capitalists, but the labOrers, who
g will feel themselves under a subjec-
ton which does not permit them to
select their employers.
It's no use to talk about attrat ing
emigrants to any section where their
property is liable to fall prey to the
torch ofthe incendiary, so soon as the
natives of the soil perceive that they
are acquiring wealth,
Such movements are absolutely
suicidal to the development of the
resources of our State, and 60 to JUS
!, tify the many SANDERS which have
as caused the current OF emlgra-
2 ton to pass right through us
and settle itself in the comparatively
sterile wilds of Texas.

stigma, now that she has freed her.

GENUINE HOOP SNAKES.
Experiences in the Rich Fields o.
Caldwell County, North
Carolina.

'sf ~ y
! have read your article on the
sachem snake in last Sundays Sun.
The sachem is evidently the same as
the snake called here the horn. or hoop
snake, which, although rare, is by no
means unknown in this country. l
was staying in Caldwell county, in the
neighbOrhood of the Patterson factory
about nine years ago, and happening
one morning to visit the Hon. James
Harper, ex-congressman from this
district, he mentioned that q horn
snake had been killed on his place on
the previous day. A man was plough
ing in his field. and the snake coiled
around the plough. The man killed
it with cornstalk. At my request,
Mr.. Harper was 20 kind as to send
for the horn. which was brought me
with portion Of the tail, on shovel.
The horn was like cocks spur. and,
according to my recollection, consider
ably larger than that which l enclose.
About three years ago two more
sachems were killed on the same farm.
and this year two others. The last
were more than five feet long, and
were exhibited for several days at
Patterson factory. The specimen sent
was taken from the smaller of these
two snakes. 1t has become disinte-
grated somewhat, the horny sheath
being detached by the shrinkage
Of the tail. The snake Is of venomous
fame, and though it may be an ex-
treme precaution. l should not care to
risk even now q scratch from the point
of the spur.
In theearly summer another serpent
of this species was killed within 300
yards of my house. i saw this snake
when dead. Its color was dingy yell
low, marked and blotched with black.
The head was flat and vicious ::oOk-
ing.
There was remarkable muscular
swell, like that Of the biceps, some
inches above the tail, and suggestive
of an intention to give force to blow
from the tail. which tapered from
below the swell, and terminated in u
horn like that which l send. The
horn was grooved in the same manner,
and curved similarly. This specimen
measured four feet ten inches. The
young man who killed the snake stated
that the viper coiled up at his presence,
appearing greatly irritated, holding
tail aloft and agitating it violently.
He did not await further hostilities,
but settled the matter by q well-direct-
ed shot from his rifle.
There are many stories Of trees that
have died after having been struck by
this snake. I should not wish to be
responsible for them, for there is
wonderful sameness in one and all.
But. beyond . doubt, the hoop snake
d IN ugly and wicked reptile, and IL
considered here - fatally dangerous.
