Out on Powers Ferry read, about seven
miles from Marietta, the citizens in that
vicinity had an unprecedented snake>kill>
ing in the last few days. Mr.. Wash
Weems killed rattlesnake that had eIev,
en- rattles and button. Mr.. R. D. Bar
field Saturday, killed one in his yard four
feet long and as large round as man
arm, that had nine rattles and button.
Mr. j. Il. Power killed one that had six
rattles and button. Several others have
had their poisonous heads mashed
1t is thought the stock law, that keeps hogs
from running at large, has given the
snakes an opportunity to increase in num-
Der. Hogs are deadly enemies OF snakes,
and it is said that rattlesnakes bite does
Iot hurt a hog in the least.

There is no doubt from what we can
learn that the third party at some of the
county precincts in this county voted q
large number of illegal voters. 1t is said
at one precinct fully rs negroes were voted
by the populists that had no legal right to
vote. There were irregularities at some
of the other precincts that smacks of q
deliberate intention to commit fraud. The
manner in which some OF the organic
irg of the colored voters" was done by the
third rartyites shows that they cannot
consistently cry out corruption against the
Democrats again. They had better pull the
beam oat of their own eye before they at.
tempt to pluck the mote out of the Demo-
crat eye.
