SOME CONGRESSMEN.
They Talk About the Chances Of Irby and
McLaurin.

They Talk About the Chances Of Irby and
McLaurin.
Atlanta Constitution, Saturday.
The opinion expressed by ex-Gov'
ernor Evans that "Irby seems to have
more friends than we credited him
with" appears to be generally enter
tanned and now some of the politicians
are trimming their sails.
Here is what South Cardinals con-
gressmen in Washington have to say
about it:
Mr.. Latimer said: ~ am not COM
mitted, and told McLaurin 80 yester-
day. I have no concealments in the
matter. If McLaurin's election means
a combination to defeat Tillman's re.
election, I am against him. Until all
doubt in that direction is removed l
have nothing to say, and whilst may
be fresh in legislative experience, 1
want the state to know that whatever
progress has been made in reference
to the dispensary bill and whatever
hope is entertained of immediate or
ultimate success, is due entirely to the
efforts of Senator McLaurin."
Representative Talbert said: "1
have nothing to say in the matter.
The mention of my name in connec-
ton with the senatorship is the unso-
licited suggestion of others. Iprompt-
ly declined to entertain it, and 1 don't
care to discuss the present situation at
this time."
Representative Strait said: ~ am
responsible for the use OF Talbert's
name as a senatorial candidate, and I
represented the controlling sentiments
in my congressional district in asking
him to be candidate. 1t will be a
close race in my district between Mo-
Laurin and Irby."
Representative Stokes said: "Irby's
candidacy seriously complicates the
situation. Irby has great capacity as
an organizer. He was the only Reform
leader in the state who succeeded in
harmonizing factional differences in the
party, and has a strong personal fol-
lowing"
Representative Wilson said: "It
will be Sizing hot fight from start to
finish. Irby is one of McLaurins dis.
coverers. He considered him at one
time the peer of Calhoun and Hayne
in ability and craftsmanship, and Nc
Laurin's rhetorical efforts in adulation
of Irby had much to do with his phe-
nomenal political career"
"If he doesn't funk when the pinch
comes," said Mr.. Sampson Pope, "Irby
will make a great campaign and will
be formidable candidate"
An interesting question has arisen.
If the issue is made on the tariff where
will Senator Tillman stand? He and
McLaurin occupy the same position on
tariffs, and if McLaurin is attacked by
Tillman's friends will Tillman keep
silent2

sumo the chase. The wild animals
will be stiff from the run of the pre-
vious day, and easily overtaken. I
have been several times invited to join
in the hunt, and never realized what
the sport was till I had taste of it.
And your horses, too, seem to love it,
and are as anxious to test their speed
as when hounds, in full cry, bring a
deer flying by them. To hear the
thunder of couple of hundred sets of
hoofs, and the defiant 'neighing as the
drove dashes over carpet as pretty
and green as a well-kept lawn, and to
feel good horse under you trembling
with excitement and ambition, is quite
enough to make one feel like riding.

EXCITING SPORT.
Running Down Wild Horses on the Savan

Running Down W1ld horses on inc SAFah-
mas of South Carolina.
"Fox hunting and deer hunting is
splendid sport, but if you wish to go
on a chase that will be most exhilara-
ting, and at the same time test the
mettle and bottom of your horse and
the endurance of the rider to greater
degree than any other hunt I know of
I recommend the running down of
wild horses, or rather the attempt to
do it, because the best of riders on the
best of mounts will not always be sue
cessful."
The speaker was a man noted for
his horsemanship. In deer hunting he
always prefers going in the "drive,"
where, while giving little. opportunities
for successful shooting, occasion is fur
nished for expert riding, and he has
many times outrun noble buck, turn.
ed him from his course and back to
the waiting ISLANDERS. But, as it was
known that his hunting had been con-
fined to this state, he was asked with
some surprise, "where did you ever
run down wild horses?"
"There are hundreds of them on
the savannas in Middle Colleton," he
replied. "The section I visited is
about the angle between the Edisto
river and the Great Cav Cav swamp.
Here for miles on miles the land lies
as level as table, the great opening
broken only by small patches of brush
no large timber. A peculiar water
grass has possession of the land. IL is
short but very thick, and while giving
excellent pasture, makes as fine turf
to ride over as there is on any steeple-
chase course in the country. "On
these savannas," he continued, "there
are punches of hundreds of wild
horses that have seen neither stable
nor paddock. They will fly from a
man as rapidly as will dear, but
their speed and endurance are much
greater. They are larger than Texan
horses, being cross on the famous
Carolina marsh 'tacky' and the Ken
tucky horse. From their breeding
and manner of their raising, they are
exceptionally hardy and wiry. Every
spring the owners of the punches,
Wishing to catch the three-year-olds to
break and sell, organize horse hunt,
to which the neighbors with good
horses for miles around are invited.
These are occasions for rival riders
and horses to decide which are entitled
to the blue ribbons. Regulations can
be made and horses can be ridden to
death. It's not mile dash, you
know, but a stern chase for a matter
of 20, 80 or more miles-not all in the
same direction, but back and forth, or
in circuits of miles, as the leaders of
the drove fancy.
"None of the men thereabouts are
practiced in lasso throwing, 80 they do
not attempt it. The horses are simply
run until they are exhausted, when
the hunter or chaser gets along side
and tosses a rope around the neck OF
the animal he selects. The best way
to capture these horses, and the plan
most commonly employed, is to run
the drove all one afternoon, and keep
them going until dark; then at day
dawn, mounted on fresh horses, to re-

The Moons WRINKLEs.-One of
the biggest puzzles astronomers have
to deal with you can see any night for
yourself with a fairly strong telescope.
Point it at the little dead planet which
circles our earth. What do you see :?
Barren plains, cup-shaped craters two
and three miles deep, and what appear
like fountains of silver, sending up
rivers of precious fluid to wander over
the desolate wastes. These marvellous
and lovely appearances are called by
astronomers "rilles," but they don't
know what they are. The latest the
ory is that millions of years ago, when
the moons crest was cooling, it con-
tracted, causing great 6ssures and
rents, into which the lunar oceans
poured down. Through these seams
rose up in consequence motion matter,
which filled the openings to the brim
and extended all the length of these
enormous cracks. But, remember, this
explanation is but guess work.

He thought for a moment Then his
eyes cleaned.

II didn't know it. You used to talk
Of the place as being very pretty and

"And mighty good guessing"
His face hardened again.
Itwas clear to me why he had select
ed this lonely spot for the passing of
the $4,000. There were hundreds Of
places in New York where we could
have met and made the exchange with
out the slightest personal risk. But my
previous hesitancy convinced him was
unwilling to pay over 80 large q sum.
He suspected that I would set some trap
by which the money would be saved
and he and his pal punished.
But if I were to meet him in the out

ing could give me help, nothing was to
prevent their working their sweet will

Nothing but-of that, however, later

PALISADE AVENUE.


GOOD morning, Mr.. Westcott. How
will you have this?"
"In large bills, if you please"
Hundreds?"
Thousands, if convenient.
The cashier passed out ten crisp bills
Of the denomination named. thanked
him, and, walking to the row Of desks
outside. carefully placed them, without
crease or crinkle, within the folds Of
my large pocketbook, which was showed
into my inner coat pocket and the three
buttons fastened over my chest. Then,
cane in hand, stepped out into the
street and once more walked toward
Broadway.
But changed my mind, wheeled and
came back.
At the moment Of turning some ono

Not wishing him to think suspected
anything, passed up the street, turned
at the next block, and continued my
walk in the direction of Broadway.
If 1 intended to elude him, the job
would be difficult one. Had I felt GER
tain that he could be trusted / would
have taken him partly into my conf
dence-that is, so far as letting him
know of the little game on hand, and
without any attempt to reveal my real
identity. But had 10 faith in him.
He believed, with good reason, that l
was Gin" with the counterfeiters, and
any confidence on my part would be
taken as an effort to mislead him.
If he should shadow me, there was
no saying what complication would fol-
low. It might upset all my plans, so
determined to elude him, if it could be
done, and it seemed all easy task.
This time when the cable car halted
had a companion who entered the door
ahead of me, but 1t was lady whom
had never seen before. Covey Cone was
not In sight.
But a second car came whirling round
the curve and halted before ours had
passed block. Looking back, I observed
three men and lady climbing into 1t,
and one of the four was a small man.
attired in a gray business suit.

hand isn't played out yet"
My Cur halted at Chambers street,
where I left it. Instead of turning
down toward the river, I went to the
left, in the direction of Third avenue.
