FIGHTING A SHARK.
This One Was Hungry and Wanted TO
Eat Boat.

Mr.. c. r. Taylor of Norfolk was halted in
the lobby of the National last night by a.
reporter for The Star Yes" said he "I
have had some funny experiences with
sharks off the North Carolina coast. They
are not so deadly as the shark of the south
ern seas, nor SO vicious as the little tiger
shark, but then the fish just now have In
mind had somewhat of an appetite, and
knew a good piece of man-meat when he
saw II. L have had several scares during
my residence on this planet, but a shark
scare was the most alarming that ever fell
to my lot. 1 was living at Moorhead CITY,
n. C., and had a web-footed way of cruis-
ing around for my health in a sixteen foot
canoe. The day was as nearly perfect as
the weather bureau could have il. The sun
was yelled at intervals with masses of
feecy, nebulous clouds, and the heat of
MONDAY was tempered by gentle breeze
from seward. The ocean was as quiet as
IL ever gets. only the regular roll of the
Ground-swell disturbed the peaceful still
ness. The water was so clear that ones
fancy could see the Oceanides strolling
through the groves of coral at the bottom.
1 was, perhaps, mile off land. Away down
in the water / could see a vague, shadowy
form twisting along. The outlines were SO
uncertain that L thought perhaps IL might
be the shadow of my boat But no. AS il
II was shark. Although he was deep
down, he appeared to be very near the top.
1 had turned the bow of the little canoe
landmarks, but L could not avoid that big
and dangerous fish. / was kept in horrible
expectancy for some time, before his dark
dorsal fin protruding from the water. He
swan toward the bow of the canoe lolled
half way over as is the fashion with his
kind, and took deliberate bite at the boat
His teeth penetrated the light hull, and he
would have dragged me under had / not
crawled forward, and. reaching down with
large pocketknife, ripped him across the
throat. He let CO. but with bad grace. He
was Infatuated. He attempted to founder
In the canoe and the swell which he was
making around the slight craft added anoth-
er danger. A stream or blood was flowing
from the cash in his throat, but he con-
tfEued TO splash and founder with great
fury. j reached for my paddle, and as he
turned on his side. once more 1 damned the
wooden blade into the gaping wound. Then,
giving Ii such a push as to nearly cap
size me, L inserted II deep into his shark
ships yitals. i could not withdraw it, and
was compelled to let go. After a period of
frenzy. the monster died. The soft wind
waited me to the beach, and two days later
and more than three miles down the coast
my shark came ashore with the paddle still
fast In the fatal wound" The reporter
shivered few times, and Mr.. Taylor went
his way.

Question /. Yes.
Question 2. There is nothing that
believe as important to make the
fight upon as the tariff. Texas should
give good plurality for the party of
protection to American industries"
instead OF a beastly majority to the
party which says protection is un.
constitutional"
Question 3. believe that Republican
organization should be perfected all
over the state and where there are
enough of Republicans TO name for the
different positions nominate from pre-
cinct offices up TO governor. Organize
the party. drawing into the organiza-
ton every Republican and show to
each one the necessity of voting for
the nominees. II there ever was a time
when anything was to be gained by
our fusing with the Populists that
time has passed. In the only party
question before the nation today--the
tariff-the Democrats and Populists
are voting together. The Democrats
adopted the income tax plank of the
Popullst party and the Populists in
turn voted for the Wilson bill as pre-
scented by Democrats, There are really
but two parties, the Republican, which
proudly proclaims its loyalty to "pro-
lection of American industries" and
the Democratic, which while declaring
that protection Is unconstitutional pro-
ceeds to favor special localities by
protective tariff. where necessary TO re-
cure vote, and remove protection
from others, causing widespread disas-
ter TO its vital interests. This being
the case, 1 believe that a voter should
be able to and given chance to choose
between these parties at every import
ant election.
Question A. Yes, We hear Democrats
all over the state declaring their read
mess to vote the Republican ticket on
account Of the imbecility shown by
the federal and state administrations
now in power. There Is a revolution GO
ing on and the Republican party OF
Texas Will profit by It.
Question s. No. believe that the coll
ored voters are fast drifting away
from the Republican party with their
votes, as they think their local inter-
ests are affected. and am anxious fol-
the time to come when they will de-
mAnd recognition in the conventions of
the other parties with which they vote,
as well as with the Republican, feeling
assured that when the demand IL
they will receive 1t.
