LAST AND GREATEST !
ED. HAMMOND TELLS TIIE STORY
OF THE PUMP SNAKES.
Ah Extinct Industry, Destroyed by the
Late War How Snakes
Saved a House.
For three days past the weather
has been grizzly aud gloomy ; there
has been little doing in business or
other ways worthy of record, and
even the loafers iu the Ordinary's
office, unusually hard to depress as
they are, were becoming despondent
at the monotony. It was possibly
for ibis reason that Judge Ham
mond, always kind hearted beneath
bis stern exterior, turned aside yes
terday afternoon from the arduous
pursuit of his profession and of fame
and fortune, and amused the crowd
with odc of those incidents of au
then tic history with which his mind
is so well stored and the recital of
a few of which iu these columns
has excited the envy and emulation
of the newspaper world. The dull,
leaden sky and the cold, moist at
mospheic, while they might have
had a uumbiug effect upon the
most vivid and cheerful imagination,
only siemed to serve as an inspira
tion to the truthful ^chronicler of
facts, and it is possibly not an exng
geration to say that the Judge ex
celled himself on this occasion in the
manner aud matter of the narrative
which follows.
First asking if anybody in the
crowd bad a cigar, and deftly extract
ing from the reporter’s pocket a
twofer, the last valued gift of a friend
unfortunately not yet dear, Judge
Hammond said:
Your valuable investigations into
Judge Stilwell’s oi! springs, with
their unvalnable results, reminds me
of an industry which once did prom
ise to pay very well in that same lo
cality. though a little further aloDg
toward the Towaliga river. On the
bottoms of the river, and among the
numerous branches and springs
which feed it,there existed at the tigie
one of nature’s strangest freaks. The
settlers termed it the pump snake.
How it came there and where it came
from is unknown. It first made its
appearance in this county in the
spring of 1859. A full grown pump
snake measured about fifteen feet in
length and about three inches in di
ameter. They were of gregarious
habits, roammg the fields in large
herds, as many as 300 having been
counted iu a single (lock. In dissect
ing one of these reptiles there is
fonnd a tube which extends from the
roof of the jaw to the extremity of
the tad and terminating in an open
iDg. This tube is about two inches
in diameter and lined with a tough,
yielding substance, similar to rubber.
The pump snake k was easily trained
to answer to the call of man.

them in large nnmbc: e.
“A farmer on the 'i uwaliga had

water troughs in the cattle yards
feet away. The leading snake
meuced to swallow or pump the
ters of the river, which

would through a hose aud fell in

“The agriculturist told of. an
traordinary circumstance which

working in the field near his home
he observed flames issuing from the
roof of his barn. Wild with excite
ment he hurried to the burning build
ing, only to see that it was a hope
less task for himself alone to attempt
to extinguish the flames. Iu des
pair he gazed on the work of destrno
tion: suddenly he beard a loud rust

The leader burled himself into the

river to the burning building. The

stream of water tbat was thrown
with terrific force on the joining
building. Back and foitb dashed
the tail of that living hose, squirting
the water where it would do the most
good, while the loud pumping of the
leader could be heard above the roar
of the conflagration. Within fifteen
minutes the last spark was out.
Then, and not until then, did the
pump snakes quit work. They were
completely exhausted, the leader hav
ing faiuted away. The main part of
the building and its contents were
saved, thanks to tho presence of
mind of these wonderful snakes."
The judge stopped and relit his
cigar, which had gone out in the ex
citement of tho reminiscence; and af
ter a meditative pause one of the
group ventured to inquire “What
became of these peculiar snakes, Col
onelf How does it come that we
have never heard anything about
them?’’
“Well, you see, tbe State govern
rnant became awakened to the possi
ble usefulness of these interesting
creatures and a law had been intro
dncetl intoTb® legislature to protect
pump snakes, when the war broke
out and in the excitement of the
times they were lost sight of. They
still continued to increase, however,
being very prolific; but when the
Yankees came through here they stole
every blame one of them, just as
they did everything else they could
lay their hands on. Not finding it
convenient to carry them alive, they
killed them and strung them by
sticking straight saplings through
the apertures. They dried that way
and when the Yankees got
they used them for eave spouts
carry water into their cisterns. I saw
some of them is use that way when
I was on my way lo New York

Then Uncle Joe Little cleared

A SUMMER HOME.
Columbia Gentlemen lo Make Nebula
n Summer Hoiup.
A number of gentlemen rnetjat tbe
office of Mayor Grimes in Columbus
on Monday, to discuss a plan for
tbe improvement of Neoulo, on the
Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad,
as a summer home. There was a
full attendance, and tbe mooting was
organized by selecting Mr. John F.
Flournoy as president, and W. W.
Bnssy secretary.
It is proposed to build a summer
hotel and to convey lots at a nominal
pi ice to gentlemen who will build
summer cabins. The subject was
fully discussed, and met with the
approbation of ail present. A com
raittee, composed of Mr. G. Gunby
Jordon, Capt. W. A. Littlo and Mr.
W. L Clark, was appointed to formu
late a plan and present to those who
desire a summer homo.
Nebula is on top of Pine moun
