Mr.. Edward Malley returned Saturday
from South Carolina. Mr. Malley left New
York for North Carolina January 10. He
went toSGarysburg, N. c., to shoot wild tur-
keys and deer, which abound in that viein-
lty, but owing to exceedingly Indictment
weather, there not being day in his weeks
stay there when shooting could be INDUCED in
with any degree of comfort, he went on to
Kingstree, s. G. Kingstree is a sparsely set
tied village of about Eve hundred inhabi-
tsnts. Here he put up at the hotel Of mine
hosts Lee & Kallahan, the Coleman Hotel,
an inviting inn where the comfort of the
inner man is attended to in a
manner that leaves most pleasant impress
sions. He at once established his headquar-
tiers at this hotel for the season, and the
shooting in the immediate vicinity was all
that heart could wish. Good teams in plen-
ty were to be had in the place and splendid
quail shooting abOuAded within a half
hours ride in almost any direction. On al
most any day the dogs found from ten to
twenty coveys of quail, and often the coveys
were discovered in quick succession,
30 that the sport was both plentiful
and exciting. In all Mr.. Malley shot during
his four weeks stay nearly five hundred quail
and his friends in New Haven, New York
city and other places have had ample proofs
OF his skill as sportsman and tested the
toothsome quail with many wishes for long
life and prosperity for their kind and gene
rous friend and many happy hunting seasons
In the future, Mr.. Malley learned that both

miles of Kingstree. He found most genial
companions and excellent marksmen in Cap
tain John Kelly, a prominent lawyer of the
place and ex-Csnfederate officer, and in DR..
Prendergast, one of the old planters of the
Palmetto State, who resides about three miles
ozt from Kingstree center. Both OF these
gentlemen showed every courtesy to their
northern visitor, and Of them and their kind
Inequalities and friendships he retains
vivid and most pleasant recollections.
Mr.. Mallsy brought home with him
pair OF quails, which are now Gagged and
domlclied at his residence, and act as if
well content already with their new home
and their near companions, the house cana
RES. Mr.. MalleY is warm in praise of the
Coleman House and intends organizing
party of friends in New Haven to go there
next winter and spend a number of weeks in
the best shooting season. Mr.. Lee, the &C.
tive owner of the Coleman, is most genial
host. His partner, Mr.. Kallahan, is a retir-
ed and wealthy gentleman, and the two part
ners are reckoned among the wealthiest now
in that section. Mr.. Malley having tried
both parts of the country much prefers the
climate, shooting and accommodations in
Kingstree to those he found in Florida
There are no fogs as on the gulf and at
Georgetown, S. c., where he was three win
tiers ago. Kingstree is on the Atlantic coast
line of railway. It is fifty miles from the
sea and in the northern part of South Caro-
