Large Rattler Killed
Lumber Bridge.
While out Lumber Bridere way
the other day Mr. R. C. Law
rence, of Lumberton, saw a hugh
rattlesnake which a neerro had
just killed near that place. The
snake was over six teet long,
was as large around as a man
eg, and carried 14 rattles. One
is accustomed to thinking of rat
ers as belonging exclusively to
the mountainous portions of the
btate, but it seems that they are
ound occasionally in this section.
