TWO HUSBANDS KILLED
BY SAME RATTLESNAKE

HATTIESBURG, Miss, Sept. lev.
c. Cole, Hattiesburg grocer, has just
received a dead rattlesnake which he
says was responsible for the death of
two husbands of woman in the log
ging camps of Mississippi
Il do not want to mention the wom-
ans name" said Mr.. Cole, as she beg
ged me not to. Some two years ago her
husband was killed by a snake while
logging. He was bitten, the fangs Of
the snake penetrating high top boot.
After his death another lumberman
married the woman Being poor, she
offered him her dead husbands high
top boots. He accepted them. He died
a few days later from snake poisoning.
/. was found that the fang of the snake
was imbedded in the boot and had PEN
etrated the flesh of the second husband,
also poisoning him."
Mr.. Cale says this is the first case of
the kind he ever heard and that several
hunters captured and killed the snake.

WILKES SENDS A pop
AND REPUB To VOTE

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept Lett begins
to look as if the state convention to be
held in Macon on September 26th will
have the most varie0ated political com
plexion of any similar gathering in the
history of the state since reconstruc-
ton days. The color line will be drawn
hut party affiliations will cut no figure
in the seating of delegates.
Anticipating close race and fight
in the convention, Hugh NJ. Dorsey and
Little Albert" Howell made up list
Of delegates in every county, whom
they would ask to be appointed in case
Dorsey carried this county and that.
They made up their list long before the
primary, and they selected delegates
whom they thought they could depend
on not to desert Little Hugh"
On the morning after the primary,
Mr.. Dorsey telegraphed the chairman
of the county executive committees in
the counties which he had carried, and
gave the chairmen the names of the
delegates he would like to have APP
pointed in their respective counties.
1t came to pass that the list of eight
delegates suggested to the chairman OF
the committee in Wilkes county con-
sisted of one republican, six populists
and one democrat. On perceiving the
company he would be in, if appointed
as a delegate, the democrat promptly
declined to serve.
Thereupon the Wilkes county chair
man took the liberty" of appointing a
populist to take the democrats place.
and the Wilkes county delegation to
the democratic convention will, there
fore, consist of one republican and sew
en- populists.
