CAMBRIDGE, September 18th, 1916:
MIR. Editor AS the hunting season is near !
at hand and as we hear of crack dogs, from all
parts oil the hunting community, we would sus.
grst To the Fox hunters Of Edgefeld, Abbeville,
Newbery, Laurens and Lexington, (our Con.
gressional District, the proprlely OF coming
together at some central point, TO test the speed
and hotlomo Of thei. different hvorite doss:. We
are lond ofthe sport ourselves, and blythe by,
(I' we are allowed 10 judge, we tnk:we have
as good, and perhaps the best dogs iniall Amer:
lea and consequently would like meeting of
that sort. We therefore, hope, that .ihe Fox {
hunters will respond liroughthe medium OF
the Edse6eld Advertiser and .Abbeyille Banner,
to the suggestion We can hearo all sorts of
Dragging about fast dogs, and the best dogs,
catching from fifteen 10 twenty foxes through
the hunting season. and never have race over :
half an hour. WE'LL we do mo-, the least
doubt il, ,as ii would be very easy matter, :
with a common pack Of dogs through the {
month of September, TO caleb (where they are
plenty) twenty young foxes in little or 10
time, but nevertheless. we, ,w ould like to come
in competition with such pnck of dogs, as we
think we can, as the jockeys say 'hard in hand =
throw the dust in their eyes from one to six
hours; without ever making brush. We hope
to hear Of the descendants of Old Ratler, Loud,
Hopewell, Crockett. Old Davy, Bottom, Old
Molly, Gano, Slormer and Old Boxer entering
the contest. In fixing the point of meeting
for ourselves, we feel no hesitation in meeting
at the house Of brother fox hnnter, as we have
never seen a man who was fond ofthe sport.

A story has been going the rounds Of
the papers, to the effect that Henrietta
Blanchard, who shot a man in New Or
leans, had subsequently died from the el-
fecls of poison or excitement. 1t was
the off ring of some one who thinking
the story had not sufficient romance about
it, threw in the "dealh'' to finish the
scene. She was alive, however, at the
last accounts from New Orleans, and was
to have been examined before the Rccor-
der on the Sih inst, bat Peltiway, the
man shot, having left the city, the case
was indefinitely poslponed-that is, the
prosecution abandoned.

AMERICAN REVOLUTION;
With IN account Of the Early llistoI Y
of the Countrywide Constitution of the
United States, and Chronological Index;
illustrated with several hundred engrao
wings.
GJ-j-lt is the determination Of the pub
Usher to spare neither pains nor expense
to make this work perfectly acceptable to
every family throughout the entire coun-
try. !: will be found the most attractive
aud cheapest ever presented to the patron
age d the American people. The pre-
paration Of the work has been attended
with great labor and expense. History
REQUIRES distant cmncncc, from which
to take an impartial view Of the charac~
ter of the transac ions which submit them
selves to the recording pen: but more
,han Iaiia century has row elapsed since
the colonsts first asserted .l,elr indepcn-
dencf; and the generation, whose aMuous
struggles achieved so glorious result,
has passed away to the silent tomb.
Through the whole work, the editor
has aimed to do Justice without aspcrity;
to applaud patriotism, but not to justify
its excuses; to condemn tyranny, but
not to overlook the virtues of many of
its instruments; and TO exhibit the kindly
prospect Of the future more strongly than
the irritating aspect Of the past. The
great interest that the bare mention Of
such work is calculated to excite, has
encouraged the editor to make it every
way worthy of a liberal patronage. An
extensive sale can only enable the pub
Usher to offer it at the low price proposed.

maiion by addressing. post pGid,
