Is Latest
Offered To Public
Louis Graves Reports Story
Brought From Florida on
Snake Industry.
The latest delicacy offered to
the American public is rattle
snake meat, according to Dr. W.
C. Coker, University botanist,
who brings here the first infor
mation about a vast enterprise
in rattlesnakes down in Florida.
Here is the way Louis Graves
tells the story in part, in the cur
rent issue of the Chapel Hill
Weekly :
"The rattlesnake product now
on the market bears this name:
'Genuine Diamondback Rattle
snake with Supreme Sauce, Posi
tively the World's Most Delicious
and De Luxe Foodstuff
"A little way inland from the
famous resort is the plant of the
Floridian Products corporation,
and it is here that rattlesnake
products are prepared ; not only
food, but skins and skulls, and
various ornamental articles
made with rattles; charms neck
lace, pendants, hat bands arid
ear rings. Then there are rat-
tlesnake-oil, put up in . bottles,
'excellent for reducing inflam
mation,' and rattlesnake-skin
lamp shades.
. "When I expressed astonish
ment at the use of rattlesnakes
as food, Mr. Coker told me that
there was good precedent for it.
He took from one of his shelves
a book containing records of the
Historical, Society ' of .Pennsyl
vania, ana. nere was, a : letter:
from Henry Laurens of . South
Carolina, the eminent planter
and merchant whose - son, John
Laurens, as ; George Washing
ton's aide-de-camp, received
from a British aide-de-camp the
sword of Cornwallis at York-
town.

Williamson in the Carolina back.

" 'Did you eat any rattlesnake
meat while you were in Florida?
I asked Mr. Coker.
" No, I didn't he replied
'But I'm thinking ,of ordering
"some and-asking Mrs. Kluttz to
prepare it for me. I'll let you
know when it gets nere, ana
maybe you'd like to come around
and have a taste of it.'
"Maybe; and, maybe not. I
have not quite decided. I have
a long-standing prejudice to
overcome before I try such a
meal.
"Rattlesnake meat is said to
resemble chicken-breast in ap
pearance; its eulogists say it
has a far better flavor.
;"A Frenchman who had been
wounded in the "World War
came to this country. He had
little money and he was looking
about for some way to earn a
livelihood. Like so many of his
countrymen, he had a keen in
