ward Long, local meat cutter
can well attest to this fact
Some years ago when Mr.. Loni
was engaged in farming he ha'
a memorable accident that los
eS none of its humor as he re
calls it. II seems as if il started
on a rainy morning when h,
decided II was not fit weather
to work so he donned a rail-
coat and hid himself down 4
the Little Pee Dee River To-
a days fishing. As Mr.. Lonl
padded down the stream h,
heard a snake drop from a tree
into what he thought was the
river but as later events prov
ed IL must have landed in tn,
bllgo water in the boat. For,
MIR. Long sensing something
was amiSS took a look at tn,
stern sheets and there lay ;
mOCCaSin in wrat could bC
taken as a hostile position
Then Brother Hayward did the
most natural thing TO do under
such circumstances. He took
a healthy whack at the snake
with the paddle. In fact as
many of us do he did the job
well If not wisely. He hit the
snake. broke TIE paddle. and.
holcd the bottom OF the boat
at one stroke. Said Mr.. Long
III bet that would have made
candy picture. Just think of
one loading sunkcn boat
through chin deep water and
II raining with my rain coat
