AN INTERESTING SNAKE STORY.
King Snake COnquers and Swallows
a Big Rather i'm Battle.

From the Triton Gazette.
MIR. T. S. Shannon, who lives near
Fender was sick and unable to take
in the circus on the 18th, but he ac-
cidentally strolled upon a circus OF
his own, in field near his house
He was trying to get chance shot
at a bird, when he came upon a rat
tie snake and a king snake fast
locked in an embrace of death. The
king snake was about 312 feet in
length and the rattle snake a lit
tie larger although not quite so
long.
When Mr.. Shannon came upon
them the king snake was wrapped
around the RATHER, and slowly
squeezing its life out He watched
them for about 4 y hours, until the
king snake was the complete victor
and swallowed his dead enemy, head
first.
The RATHER must have been caught
just before Mr.. Shannon came upon
them for he saw the venomous rep
tile turn several times and bury it's
fangs in the king snakes body.
Each time the king snake, by a
twist Of it's muscles. would tear the
fangs cut and the RATHER would bury
them in it's enemy again until it soon
became too weak for further resist
ance. The king snake appeared to
care no more for the poisonous fangs
than for the pricking of pin.
When the RATHER was finally dead
the king snake made several care
full examinations, to be sure it's
enemy had given up the ghost, and
three times crawled off and remain
ed some time, evidently to see if the
RATHER was playing 'possum.
Convinced that the rattler was
dead the king snake went over it's
body twice, apparently covering it
with. sliava, and then began to swal-
low it, head first.
At the first attempt it swallowed
all the rattler but about s inches,
but for some reason was forced to
vomit it up. 1t then crawled off and
was gone for about half an hour.
Returning it once more took up the
task, and this time swallowed the
RATHER completely. Mr.. Shannon
says the king snake appeared but
very little larger after he had swal-
lowed the rattler than he was be-
fore.
Mr.. Shannon says that those who
doubt the occurrence can ask neigh
bors of his whom he sent for to view
the unusual sight.

FOR A GREATER GEORGIA.
A Movement That Means Much for
the State and Deserves Aid and
Encouragement.

We of Georgia KNOW OF the bound
less resources of the state in min
erals, soil, climate, power and in
duStlial opportunities; and that here
in this state lies the American 8
most golden opportunity
To spread this conviction in a
definite way over the nation is the
specific object Of the Greater Geor-
gia Association. Hence the import
ance of our citizens rallying with
the enthusiasm to this movement
and diligently pressing it forward to
success. The Association is the one
and only public agency that has
been organized to perform this i'm
poTtant work
1t has a vast treasure kingdom
to exploit, and a people beyond oul
borders who are eager to hear anC
will be quick to- respond.
The work is now in that initial
stage where public support is de-
manded if brilliant success is to be
secured. The people of this state
cannot afford to let it fail, for il
this particular effort dies five or
ten years will be required to germt-
nate another; but by showing by
success a popular desire for this or
ganization the state will take it VI
and support it in the future.
The responsibility for success
should not be allowed to rest alone
upon the public-spirited men who
have identified themselves with the
association from it's inception and
are giving freely of their time, but
upon every man, farmer, mechanic
individuals of every line as well as
commercial bodies, merchants, man
ufacturers. real estate men and rail
roads. Each should do a proper
tionate. generous part.
The citizens of this community
could make no investment which
would speedily yield such splendid
returns. Let the people become
thoroughly alive to this magnifi-
cent opportunity; let every citizen
do his utmost in raising this coun-
tvs quota of the $3.50 publicity
fund and thus share in the fruits
of the upbuilding of the states gen
eral welfare which intelligent, vigor-
Gus advertising will bring.

IMMORTALITY or PROTECTION.

One phase of the protective tariff system is being emphasized by the gigantic scandals which Collector Loeb has unealrhed in connection with the administration of the New York custom house.
 The scandal in New York, while, perhaps, involving the greatest steal ing. is doubtless but the forerunner of other revelations which will come to the public attention from time to time, showing the corrupting influ- ence of high protective tariff.
 The ordinary citizen does not wish to steal.
 He would much prefer to get along decently ani honestly. receiving that only which are his just dues and giy. ing to the government and to others these things which properly belong to them.
 But to the ill-paid undcrling in the crstom house. who sees day by day honest citizens held up under the forms of the law. by the big corpora lions. the temptation to become dis. honest Is most appealing.
 When particularly, as in the case of tho sugar trust thievery. these cus- toms employees have seen their com rades discharged becaNse they were dishonest. a powerful incentive was given to be dishonest.
 Thus the protective tariff fosters and promotes thievery by reason of the fact that the principle upon which tariff is based is itself unjust ana dishonest.
 When men see the government they have been taught to respect and rev erence, exacting an oppressive tribute from the weak and helpless, in order to enrich the already wealthy and powerful classes, the example can but be most demoralizing.
 The ordinary citizen is all too apt to argue that if the government can take forcibly from one man, because it has the power to do so, and give what it has so taken to another man, the offense is in no sense different should the ci;izen follow that example and either take or steal from the. gov ernment.
