Summer Brings Snake Stories By MARY C.HARRIS Staff Writer Along with such un pleasantries as 90 degree-plus tempera tures, splotched sun burned faces, and itching insect bites, summertime propa gates what seems to be more than its fair share of hair-raising stories about snakes. One such account was related this week by Mrs. Carolyn Beddingfield of Macon. According to Mrs. Beddingfield, her atten tion was directed on Saturday night to the excited barking of her family's pet labrador retriever "Ace." The dog was frantically run ning back and forth from the back door of the Beddingfield home to the doghouse in the back yard. Upon going to investi gate, Mrs. Beddingfield determined that Ace was frightened by some thing inside the dog house. Scanning the area with a flashlight, she spotted the tail of a snake on the ground on one side of the doghouse. While a family member called for help, she tried to hold the snake in place by pressing on it with a shovel. Convinced that she had the snake cornered and that the situation was entirely under con trol, she suddenly realized that the tail of the snake was indeed all she had. She had ap parently cut through the snake's body with the shovel, and the front the major part of the snake had crawled elsewhere. Mrs. Beddingfield's husband, who is not par ticularly fond of snakes, was much relieved when a neighbor, Lynn Henry, came to assist. Henry turned over the doghouse, revealing the snake, which he then shot four times. Close examination proved it to be no small snake tale, a three-foot, two-inch copperhead with a body circumference of five inches. Mrs. Beddingfield stated that it is not un common to find smaller harmless snakes in her yard, but she has no recollection of having seen a copperhead in the area before. She won ders if the snake habitats are being disturbed by the exten sive clearing of land presently underway near her home. * ■ - — • - Bt INDEPENDENCE HALL...
