The Cedartown Advertiser is responsible fer
o one LoheWlng: Mr.. X 7. Poole, well known
| as one OF Polk county's trustworthy citizens
mas a little boy near the age of three years
that mas been unusually backward about learn
| ing 70 TAX, bur has acquired the art OF endeay-
oIlsg 70 De understood by means of signs, such
| as pointing his finger at such objects as hap
| zen 70 gain his attention. About two weeks
! ago; while lady friend was calling on Mrs
| Poole, the chiid's peculiar actions led his
mother to believe that something Unusual had
| oeen recelv1ng his attention, and as soon as her
company had disappeared, she was led to
maze an investigation Following the child in
| the ysFd and to the corner OF the house, she
| watched the little one stoop low and crawl
| under the floor, where its attention was soon
seemingly drawn to some object well back in
| the corner Of the brick underpinning. Led
| now oy deep curiosity, the mother herself
crawled beneath the floor sufficiently to ac-
quaint herself with the situation, AID the sight
| Ihat met her gaze almost froZe her blood.
In perfect coil. though prepared to
| combat some formidable foe with head erect
| lay huge serpent, with the little child rubbing
| its hands gently over its body. The serpent
| as though apprized Of the child's ignorance of
| fear and intending it no harm, would gently
| move its head aside when the hand of the child
| passed near it. Mrs. Poole as quick as possible
after realizing the awful situation, drew the
child away, and directed some negro women to
| drag the serpent out and kill il. With a hoe
they soon brought it out but it quickly begun
| to show Tight oncs jumping its full length at
| those seeking to Stay it. 1t was dispatched
| however. and proved to be of that dangerous
species known as the highland moccasin. 1t
was more than half as large as a mans wrist,
| and measured nearly three feet in length. It
| IS supposed the child had been fondling the
| snake Tor some while, and who, possessing a
| knowledge Of the reptiles dangerous character,
will attempt an answer to the query: Why
was he spared the dea9ly effects Of its poison
GUS fangs?''
