Rattlesnake Sam Gives Up Ghost Sam CTiaaon, the Youth's greatest rattlesnake hunter, died u few day? ago in his tumble-down shack at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains in McDowell county. He was H'.l years old ami had lived in the same place for 50 years and there was his head* quarters for a campaign of rattlesnake catching that has no parallel in the history of the Carolina mountaineer. Sam had an unique way bf stalking a rattler. With a twine string that j had a noose in its end he would go upon the mountain side, his' long white beard and tattered clothes blowing in the wind, and hunt down ' his prey. When ho had spied a rat* > tier he would creep up to it, and. somehow manage to sli'l^the nooso over its head and on its slim neck. | lie caught hundreds of tlx,* reptiles in that way. Sam had no grudge against rattlesnakes, r.or 'did he catch and kill them for the sport of it. He used rattlesnakes in making medicine, and making medicine was his .me^ns of livelihood. It was the belief of the old mountaineer that his rattlesnake medicine was u sure cure for tuberculosis. Others believed it too. People came from mountain cabins and even from other states, far distant, to buy the medicine. Up until his death Sam did a thriving business. The way he prepared his sure "cure" for tuberculosis and the ingredients he used would throw a chill into any modern pharmacist. Of course there was the rattlesnake. After Sam brought it to the shack he killed it and skinned it. Then he got a gallon jug of corn whiskey and put the | rattler, cut into small sections, into it. This mixture was his cure. The prescribed dose was a wine glass before each meal. Before the state went dry, Sam bought whiskey from one of the many government distilleries in McDowell county; he never paid more than a dollar for it. After state prohibition, he had his customers to bring their booze with them. But one? he had added the rattlesnake cure was guaranteed. He charged his customers according to what he thought they could pay; frequently he got as much as $10 a gallon for his snake brew. Sam had the characteristics of a hermit. He never shaved, and so far as people know, he went to the old swimming hole very seldom, His clothes which he obtained from the Crossnore school, were unique. He wore at least four old suits at a time, one over top of another. Each suit was supposed to cover the holes in the suit underneath it, but all were in tatters. He lived entirely by himself and prepared his own simple food. Small and wiry in stature, he kept in good heaTTh until the end, and except for the whitening of his beard, never seemed to grow a day older.?Union Republican.
