A Monster Was Caught Near Ouslcy
and Brought to This City Alive
Reports from the country around
Indicate that an unusual number of
rattle snakes are being found in all
sections. The swamps have 'been so
dry that the snakes have had
crawl from one place to another In
search of water. This is one reason
why they ar e so plentiful.
This morning two big reptiles were
brought to town. One of them was
six or seven feet long and 'had about
fifteen rattles and was caught by a
negro man, who wanted to sell It to
somebody in town. Another was a
live rattler caught near Ousley sta
tion yesterday by Messrs. A. Cooper,
John Long and the Mathis brothers.
They went out on the river near Ous
ley station on a fishing trip, and
found a six foot rattler, which they
decided to capture alive and 'bring
It to town.
They got a rope and put It over the
reptile’s head. It Is said that the
snake pulled like a goat, and made
a tremendous effort to extricate It*
self from the position in which It
had been caught. It is said that the
snake walked all the way back to
Mr. Cooper’s house, and that Its rat
tles kept up a constant song. The
snake was put upon exhibition at
Mr. Cooper^ and a great many peo-
•nt^here to see
iMPtn a box and bi
this morning, a large crow(f gather
ing around It to get a look at a live
rattler, many people never having
seen on© before.
A negro man on Mr. B. O. Lastln-
ger’s place In Clinch county recently
killed a six footer, and before he had
finished his work of killing that one
he saw another monster crawling In
a hole nearby. While the negro was
looking for a stick to kill the second
on© he ran up on a third rattier
about as large as the other two.
Both of the others escaped, and when
the negro told his story at the com
mlssary, it was thought that he was
mistaken.
day or two later other parties
saw two big rattlers near the place
which he Indicated, and one of them
was killed. It Is believed that these
two snakes were the ones which the
negro claimed to have seen.
PEACH CROP
NOW MOVING
Record will bo Broken
The 1910 season for Georgia
peaches is on. Three cars of the fruit
have been shipped from the state
over the lines of the Central
Georgia Railway. The Central Rail
way lines cover most of the peach
growing territory and statistics pre
pared 'by that road almost show the
entire state crop conditions, says the
Savannah News.
From statistics complied by the
Central, this peach season will be the
best ever enjoyed in Georgia. Al
though the season Is considerably
later than was the season of 1908,
which now holds the record, the offi
cials of the Central believe the 1910
season will surpass In quantity and
quality 1908,
The three cars that have already
been moved came from the Marsnall
let and were c'irejt
t- the tern market?. These can*
were shipped by June 3, the reports
from which were received in the 8a*
vannah offices yesterday. This puts
the 1910 season In advance of the
1909 season, as the first carload of
peaches shipped out of thq state last
year moved on June 4.
The Central officials expect to •«©
the season going forward with
rush this week and expect to move a
hundred or more cars out of the
state. Alroady the Central has cor
ralled 572 refrigerator cars to han
dle the movement, and they expect
this supply to 'be exhausted In about
two weeks. Three thousand, five
hundred and seventy cars have been
ordered to handle the 1910 crop,
which Is by 300 a larger number of
cars than was used for the banner
1908 crop. The 1908 crop still holds
the record for early peacheq, for by
June 1, that year almost a hundroa
cars had been shipped.
The early c rop of 1908 was cause^
by the warm weather which prevallj
ed throughout the spring, tout tha^
weather served to make the frul
little below the usual good qua
CONTRACT FOR
SKYSCRAPER
Messrs B. F. and C.
Messrs. B. F. and Corley Strick
land yesterday let tho contract for
their six story office building to go
up on the corner of Patterson street
and Hill avenue, the contract being
let to Jones Bros., of Macon, Ga.
Work upon the building, or rather
the work of tenriug away the old
building, will begin within the next
two weeks, and It will be pushed ub
rapidly ns possible. The contract of
the new building stipulates that It
must be completed by the 15th of
December, the contractors giving a
toond to have it finished by that time.
This new building will be the
iiandsomest structure between Sa
vannah and Montgomery, and be*
tween Macon ana Jacksonville. It
will probably be of red pressed brick
with white mortar. It will be equip
ped with the modern electric eleva
tors, and a great deal of steel will
go Into tho structure of the building
all of the partitions 'being of steel
Instead of wood. It will be practi
cally a fire proof 'building. The first
two floors will be used for store
rooms, but all of the stories above
wllj be for office room purposes.
From the Coast Line Railroad this
now building will present a magnif
icent appearance, and will add one
(hundred per cent to Valdosta’s sky
line. The Times believes that It will
not he long 'before other buildings
of the same character will go up
here, and that Valdosta will become
noted for Its handsome office rooms.
It is only by having buildings of
this kind that the city can 'hope to
<}raw renters from other communi
ties, and especially the class of rent
ers who will do much for the town In
iftklng it a distributing point.

of the Central officials who have r*
