KILLED A MONSTER RATTLER.
Mr. Homer Passmore Killed Big
Snake on His Wsy to Town.
Mr. Homer Passmore, while
bis way to town yesterday, saw
monster rattle snake crossing the
road in front of his touggy at a point
just between the double bridges.
Mr. Passmore says that he thinks
the rattler was at least six feet long.
He got out of bis buggy and proceed
ed to try to kill the snake.
He first used llghtwood knots
and threw them at the reptile, but
made very poor headway, though he
managed to knock the snakes rattles
off« -which only angfvred hjfrn and
caused him to rear his head hlgner
up in the air and make greater ef
forts to strike at everything in reach.
Mr. Passmore secured a long pole
and began to beat the snake with it,
but the reptile would strike at the
pole as it wa*, coming down through
the air and it kept up its fight until
it had 'been beaten to death.
Mr. Passmore says that he has
killed a great many snakes, but this
was the largest one he has ever seen
and he has never seen one before
that was so thoroughly bent on giv
ing fight.
N( n Views Are Needed.
The Times thinks that it is about
time that some new views are being
made in Valdosta for use on souve
nir cards and to use hi write-ups of
th© city. Most of the views of this
city were taken when there was ab
solutely nd!>ody on tho streets. Last
Thanksgiving Day when one half of
the people were at church and the
other half were out hunting, an en
terprising photographer got out on
the streets and took a number of
views of street scenes with nothing
on them but the bare buildings.
Street scenes ought to show ac
tivity. They ought to show up as
well as the town looks, and the pic
tures ought to bo taken at a time
when business lo at least normal.
Moat pictures are supposed to flatter
the object taken. We do not know
of a single picture of Valdosta that
does the city justice.
The Atlanta Journal of Sunday
had a page write-up of Valdosta and
thero was a dozen pictures on the
page, not one of them showing the
town up as It ought to show up. The
Times man has had an engagement
with one of tho local photographers,
with a view to getting some good
looking pictures, but he has been
"Just fixing to come up tomorrow”
all of this time. We hope to have
him In a few days and If we do we
are going to get some local views
that will be worth sending out.

“THE MEANEST MAN’’ AGAIN.
This One UvCs in New York aud
Took Wooden Leg From Son.
Every now and then some man Is
found whose meanness Is so great
that his contemporaries agree upon
awarding him the* blue ribbon for
his particular class. Another spec
imen of the “meanest man” was
found the other day, when a man
was brought before the Harlem po
lice court New York, upon com
print of his crippled son, a young
man of about twenty years. Some
years a go the young man, then a boy,
was ruff over and lost hi3 right leg
above the knee. i
Jle was supplied with a wooden
leg and tried his- best to find work
and to make a living. Owing to the
fact that he was crippled, however,
he was unable to oibtain a permanent
position and qnly optionally was he , n the 'direction’of’pavo and Tt'ts
fortunate enough to find some odd. ! beneved ^ lt wU1 be exteaieA at
Job. His father became Impatient L t w peyo >t
and threatened the boy he would
take his wooden leg away if he
FROM ADEL VIA PAVO.
Quick Work is Planned for the New
Road to Thomasville.
The petition for the charter of
the Adel, Pavo and Thomasville
Railway is published. The road will
run throught portions of Berrien,
Brooks, Colquitt and Thomas coun
ties, and will open up a fine agri
cultural section.
It is doubtful if there is a bettter
farming territory anywhere in Geor
gia than through the counties the
road- will traverse. The incorpora
tors are among the most prominent
business men in this section, and
they propose to build this road with
out delay. #
The Adel Lumber Company, of
whicu Capt. H. H. Tift is president,
already has the road twelve miles
