CABBAGE SNAKES
CREATE ALARM
Consumers Of the Succulent
Vegetable Forego It's
Pleasures.
g (sneclalto ,rhe Times Dispatcho

Especial to The Times Dispatch.)
CHATHAM, VA, Sept. 17.-.Recently no
little CONSERVATION has prevailed nii, On
housekeepers In this immediate locality
BY the finding, secreted IN the cablb ,as,,
given the title Of the Cabbage Snake"
During the past few. days two have
been found while preparing the vegetable
for cooking. One by a lady residing
about three miles in the country and
the other by lady OF this place. The
reptiles are about the size Of n number
one hui1ds'cd spool cotton varying III
length from three to ten inches and
almost Identical In color Of the cabbage.
& Unless the strctest scrutiny is prac-
fticed while preparing the vegetable the
minute reptile will remain ,indisturbed
as 1t. is so near the color OF / the cab
ibage thatSit will go llnnoticed. It IS
very short-lived after being routed from
Its birthplace dying In an hour or less. /,
A few OF these snakes were found last
year. but being the first the scare soon wore
off, but the latest discovery seems des-
tined to reduce the future cabbage crop
very much unless some reliable #! Analysis Us
reveals the truch-drended little reptile
harmless to the eater. The cabbage ! !, &c,
from all appearances It not at all IN
jured by the snake and theories vary
very, much ns to It's being poisonous to
the human family. IL
Many people in the localities where
the snakes have been found have ceased
to eat cabbage at all and as tho cabbage
is almost the staple winter vegetable
1t will bring about hardships Tor vege.
