We were very much in hopes that this

There is good prospect that the
people Of this valley will before long be
able to indulge in the royal sport Of
boar limiting, on the European fashion
within the bounds of their own terri
tory. The wild hogs are here, savage
and quite numerous. The way they
came was this:
Mr.. Otto Plock, New York banker
owns fine country place in the Never
sink, Valley, about SIX miles north Of
this town. A considerable section of
his estate, including wild, stony and
wooded tract along the declivity Of
the Shawangunk Mountain, has been
enclosed in a strong wire fence, twelve
feet high, and set apart as park for
deer and other fancy animals and game
birds. The rocky lodges and thickets
in the tract furnish favorite lairs tor
rattlesnakes and other vermin. With
the view Of Kidding himself Of these
disagreeable tenants, about three years
ago Mr.. Plock imported from the
Black Forest, IN Wurtemberg, Ger
many, litter of the famous wild hogs
of that region, which are known to be
the deadly foes of snakes and all other
reptiles, venomeus or otherwise, and
expert in destroying such verrnin. Mr.
Plock turned the swine loose in his.
park, and they speedily performed their
mission. But they are restless as well
as wild, and some of them soon broke
out Of the park and betook themselves
to the fsstness of the neighboring
mountains and swamps.
These wild hogs are savage and dan.
gerous beasts with huge tusks and
long, erect bristles, and are almost al
feet of foot az deer. Since their es
cape to the forest they have multiplied
and the audacity of their raids upor
the crops and stores of the neighbor

The proposition to repeal the 18th

wards adopted as an amendment OF
the Federal constitution for the pur-
pose of making its effect uniform

PINE STRAW Rigging.
Purchase OF the Acme Manufacturing
COMPANY.
From the Augusta Chromcle.l

From the Augusta Chronicle.
Saturday the Chronicle published a
rumor which reached the ears of one
of its reporters. about the purchase of
the pine straw bagging machinery and
patents Of the Acme Manufacturing
Company, of North Carolina, BY a
powerful syndicate formed in New
York, which intended to erect manu-
fuctories in number of Southern
cities.
The New York Times of Saturday
contained an article on the same sub
ject, which shows thar there is solid
foundation for the rumor. The Times
says; When it became known here
that New York capitalists were look
ing into the pine-leaf bagging enter
prise with a view to heavy investments,
ii became rumored that the American
cotton seed trust was already at the
back of the concern. This is, in part,
true, for the persons who are seeking
to gain control are none others than
the controlling stockholders in the
cotton seed oil trust, but as individuals
not as company. A stakeholder and
officer of this trust said last night that
"therough Investigations are now be,
ing made into the matter by stock.

as company we have not got contro

yet made have proved very satisfactory
The trust, however, could not legal,

concern

last evening that individual member

prise to the extent OF several million
Of dollars. They have, since they hav

cotton, even when the latter bagging

which it can be manufactured. Tn
forests throughout the Southern State
abound in pine trees, and the dry neee

titles. The Jute Bagging Trust hs
thus far successfully withstood all e
forts to break it, but the cotton see

that ii must at last succumb to the il
