The Latest Snake Tale.

Mr.. W. G. Cox left on last Tuesday for
his card factory at Waits Mill, in Cham
bers county, but a few days before shak-
ing West Point dust from his feet, he told
a huge snake story. He met and became
partially acquainted with his snake near
TallapOOsa (better known as Postum
Shout, HARRISON county, Ga. We do not
hope to give the exact language Of this ia
nous snake story, but it is about as fol-
lows:
~ was riding along the road, when my
horse stopped and showed signs of fright.
/ looked and saw what / supposed was a
log between % and 80 feet in length.
Knowing my horse was very much afraid
o fsnakes, l examined 10 see If there could
be one Of these reptiles near the supposed
log, when the fact dawn6d upon me that
the objeet was a huge snake. / alighted
and threw a huge stone at what / then
knew TO be a snake, striking IL near the
head, when he jumped his full length, %
or 80 feet. As soon as be got still /
counted eighty-nine rattles aud several
buttons on his tail. / met q gentleman
afterward who told me his snake
snip had been seen near the same place
for fifteen OF twenty years. and be had
counted as many as 1872 rattlos on his tail,
and that when he opened his mouth he
exhibited fangs about %siXinchee long, and
l uppOse he told the truth-at least 1

who have had experience in this line say
that there is gold in and around Athens,

0NN
Col. ID. L. Gaulden, Of the committed
appointed by the citizens at Cocoa to ask
Congress for an appropriation for the
cleaning u Of Indian river, with Mr..
George Bonker, surveyor, from the lower
part Of the river, called at our Office a few
days since. They are energetic and
anxious Thai the citizens of our county
take hold of this matter IN earnest. From
them we learn that there was an old inlet
at Gilbert's bar in 1916 with u feet OF
water in the channel, and from 0 to &c
feet in the st. Lucie river that empties in
the channel. The citizens at that
point have made an attempt to open
this inlet, and are about TO make the sec.
Ond.
1t would only take about 5000 or $400
to open this bar. The opening OF this bar
would be a great saving TO the cattle men
OF this section. They are obliged now to
drive their cattle for shipment TO Punta
Rosa on the other side of the State. 1t
would be a clear saving to them Of 81 or
SO per head, and much more direct to the
Bahamas, distant only about sixty miles.
Then with the Indian River Narrows
cleared out, Titusville, with the railroad
soon to be completed, would have railroad
communication with the North and direct
steamboat connection with Cuba.
1t would not TAXI a large appropriation
to clear the NarrOws. The government
has never Appropriated anything for this
river. Our citizens should get wide
awake as to their interest and assist Col.
Gaulden and the other members of this
committee TO secure at the next session OF
Congress this appropriation. We pre-
sumo the Coast Canal Company would
lend their aid to this just demand on the
government, for by this arrangement the

which would be greatly TO their advant-
age.

pose, can get the tent on the same terms,

A FoRTUNE IN EGG PLANTS.
How $4,000 or $4,000 May be Made
in n Season of Twenty Weeks.

- AA6N U0 IA
In n Season of Twenty Weeks.
H. T. Alling, Deputy Sheriff of Duval
county, Florida, says: 81 know of an
enterprise by which a man can, with
his own hands, unaided, and with
lean only sufficient to maintain
him for six months, make in
one year small fortune. There Is but
one locality that l know of in the United
States-and have been from ocean to
ocean, and from the Manitoba line to the
southern extremity of Florda-where
there Is a total exemption from frosts,
and that locality ID the southern portion of
Dade and Monroe counties and the KEYS
that adjoin. OF all the garden vegetables
the most prolific in yield is the egg plant,
Inc egg plant can be grown in almost any
LOCALITY during the summer months, but
nowhere in the United States can 1t be
brought 20 bearing between December
and May except in the To-
cality l have mentioned. This fol-
lows from the fact that under ordi-
nary circumstances it requires from three
and a half to four and a half months
from the time of planting to bring them
to e Planted in the northern or CEN
tral portion Of Florida, after the liability
OF frost Is past, they cannot be brought to
bearing in time to avoid coming into COM
petition in the Northern markets with egg
plants raised 10 the vicinity of Norfolk,
Va. In the locality / have named they
can be planted in August and brought to
bearing by the middle of December, from
which time you can get twenty weeks
shipment before you will be brought INTO
competitor with Virginia egg plants.
An egg plant will bear continu-
ously during that time, with but
little diminution in yield. Allowing
the plant sufficient room, 1900 can be set
to the acre. These will bear at the least
calculation, when we'll iertilized, one fruit
TO the plant per week, and this will give
you 1000 of the fruit per week. Twenty
nVe egg plants of average size will make
a bushel, but to be on the sale side, say 1t
requires thirty-five. That will give you
200 bushels per week from one acre Of
land, or 1000 bushels during the shipping
season OF twenty weeks. These are worth
"a per bushel IN Northern markets, at
least that is what those shipped from that
locality brought last winter in Boston. at
~ per bushel your crop would be worth
$4,000, The egg plant will keep for three
weeks without any danger of spelling; is
gathered with much less labor and will
stand much more drought thar any other
garden vegetable. For these reasons it is
the safest garden vegetable raised, espe-
cially if intended for shipment. When l
say well fortified, | mean when as much
fertilizer is used as the plant can take.
With results anywhere near those above
stated the item of fertilizer at most must
be small compared with the profit. l be-
lieve that owing to the length of time
which 1t requires to bring them to bear.
egg plants can be grown nowhere else 80
well as In South Florida"

A Circular Rumor.

From NE augusta EDeafn0 Reaos.
A circular has been issued and sent to
stockholders OF the Enterprise factory,
setting forth the legal liability of the d.
reetors for the amount OF Mai. George r.
Jackson's defalcatiOn while President of
the factory, and urging a suit against
them for the recovery Of the mount.
This rumor will create a stir throughout
the city aud State. Legal opinion may
differ on the subject, but it is thought by
many that no such suit will ever result in
recovery. 1t is proposed in the circular
that each director owning 100 shares shall
pay $40 per share, and those owning less
than 100 shares So per share TO the stock
holders.
Such a step should be deprecated by
those who have the best interests of the
factory at heart, for it would seem to be
fostering a fight among stockholders. IL
should rather be their common interest
and purpose now to unite and restore the
prosperity of the corporation and aid the
President and directors now In office to
recover the ground and money lost through
the defalcation Of q once trusted official.
The hope and safety OF the stockholders
now is la sticking together and not in
fighting each other.

Snake osYarn.o

From The COgfHgton Entsrprise.
Green Morris, colored. who has been
employed in a government distillery for

king snakes that IA and do trail rats
equal TO any hound trailing a fox A few
mornings ago be "whistled up his snakes
and put them on track Of some rats that
had cut his meal sacks the night before.
One OF the snakes Jumped a highland
moccasin in the chase, and, after a terri
hc battle, killed and swallowed 1t whole
the mOccasin being larger than the
king snake. The other reptile kept after
the rats, going In a hole, under a mash
tub. Here his snRkeship remained half
an hour, and Green becoming uneasy
about its long absence, began an %investi-
cation, and was surprised to see, so he
says, the snakes head with It's CLASSY
eyes appealing TO him TO let it out. Tue
snake had eaten 80 many rats that il was
impossible TO get out Of the hole IL went
in at. he released the snake by moving
the tub, and tt glided out Of the back door

Up to His Neck.
From he Bruas,sjoh Herald

from mo hTNnStcaoh herdtd.
Last Monday, during the prevalence of
the storm, a small boy started down Rich
mond street. Owing to the filing up Of
the mouth Of the wooden culvert near the
junction OF that street with Monk, the
water had banked up, and was running
over into Monk street. The wind blew
the water into large waves, so that il pre-
sented the appearance of an inland
sea; but the small boy aforesaid had as
good a thing as he wanted. He waded
onward towards Monk. But all at once
he dropped into the box that operates as
the mouth Of the culvert, and into water
up TO his throat. And then that boy made
such a cry for help that several rushed
out IN the storm to his assistance. He
evidently got more wading than he bar
gained for, and a scare besides.
