Snakes Fret Onslow Base Laborers New Bern, Aug. 5.—Snake stories are beginning to circu late from the Onslow county woods where ground is being cleared in preparation for the per manent marine barracks. Two negro laborers were cut ting bushes there the other day about four feet apart, when sud denly both saw that they were standing on opposite ends of an enormous reptile. Both yelled loudly for help. Fortunately both bush-whackers had the sense to stand firmly where they were un til another worker came to their aid and killed the snake with a hush axe. Another negro in high-top boots felt a slap below his knee. Thinking he had stepiied on a stick, he moved slightly. He felt another slap. Again he moved without looking down. When he felt a third slap a few seconds later he looked and saw a huge rattler. That negro didn’t wait for any kind of help. He jumped so fast and ran from the spot so rapidly that fellow workmen said later they never could even find his tracks.
