Uncle Sam

An! Uncle Sam, you're mighty plucky
And heretofore you've been quite lucky
In the land trades you've carried through.
But when you bought the land of 'bolos"
And went to hunting Flipinos,
You bit off more than you could chew"
Men oft act thus when they succeed
Yielding to sordid, grasping greed
They launch forth into pastures new"
And stalking all that they have made
In some wild. speculative trade
Bite off much more than they can
chew
For your numerous family train
Just as a provident sire should do.
And in this trade you lost no bullion
And got the best of the great Napoleon
you then knew how to take a chew. /"
You then acquired the Lone Star" State
In domain, wealth and people great
A monument twill be to you
Till men forget the Alamo"
And all chivalrous thoughts forego-
"Ah. twas a dainty, toothsome chew"
And then you digged alaskan" gold
Until you found you'd taken cold"
Then off to warmer climates flew
Took stock in ''harem," slave trade. too
With the dread Sultan of "SuIu'--
TOO old you are. such 'chaw' TO chew"
SO aait your larks'- no longer roam
You're old enough to stay at home,
Your wealth is quite sufficient, too,
From want, your people to release,
If you'd proclaim: Let us have peace"
'And not bite off more'n you could
chew"

THE FOX! THE FOX! YO HO,
TANTIVY! TO THE CHASE!
How Cunning Reynard Battles the Hounds Stretched
in Full Cry Upon His Heels. Some Stirring
Hunting Stories.

lwas pointed out and about ten feet from
the top of this tree was the trunk OF
another tree which had been broken off
about fifty feet from the ground and
which had many splinters at the top and
into which a big pile of leaves had blown
and settled The fox had gone up the
slanting tree and had jumped from there
to the broken trunk and had lain down
in the bed of leaves and was completely
hidden from view. and the distance from
the slanting tree was such that no one
thought of the fox jumping from one to
the other. Reynard was caught without
being hurt and was carried to the home
of Judge Settle and kept until he was
thoroughly rested and was turned loose
one night an hour ahead of the dogs and
was caught ard killed after an exciting
race OF three hours.
Here is another story, showing the
cunning of the fox in escaping from the
dogs: The scene of the hunt was in
Panther Branch township, Wake county.
Mr. Arnold Parrish is an old fox hunter
and owns quite fancy pack of hounds.
His house is a rendevouZ for several
fox hunters and during this spring Mr..
Parrish had quite 4 number of exciting
chases without catching the fox. He
was usually aroused near the same place
and made about the same run and was
lost in the pasture field of Col. John n.
Bunting. Why it was that the trail
would be hot until the fox reached this
field, which contained about one hum
dred acres and was grazed by the horses,
4, 81 .t,,,r
and was then lost, the hunters could not
tell. The next to the last race run in
this neighborhood was TWO weeks ago,
and before starting the fox one of the
hunters was sent to this field to watch
and see what became OF the fox. After
the race had been run over about the
same country and for about the same
length of time, the dogs were heard
coming in the direction of the field OF
Col. Bunting. The hunter had hidden
himself as we'll as possible in a place
COL HARRISON FOX-TWO
where he could see over nearly oil the
field. When the fox entered the field he
ran around among tn horses. cattle and
hogs and seemed to try TO excite them
and finally jumped on the back of one
of the largest hogs and hung on The
hog did not understand this proceeding,
nor relish the rider, and tore off at a
great pace through the field, running
hither and thither, through the bushes
and briars,. doing every thing possible
to dislocate the fox These exertions
continued until the hog finally ran into
lock of the worm fence that surrounded
the field. and here the fox got off and
on top of the fence until he reached
about the place where he came in, and
here he got down on the ground and ran
back over his former track. Next week
the race was run over and the fox was
caught. because the hogs had been
penped the night before.

their readiness and the State accepted
the jury as it stood in the box without
challenge and so did the defendant Col.
Thomas NJ. Argo, one of the leading law
yers of the State. appearing for Grimm.
The State was quickly through with it's
evidence and the defendant did not offer
any evidence, and the case was sub
mit.ed to the jury without argument
under the charge of Judge Shipp. who
told the jury If they believed the state
ment of the witnesses, the defendant was
guilty, because under the circumstances
it was not necessary that he should
fight in defence of his daddy.
The jury retired and did not return
in few minutes, as was expected. AT
ter being out an hour the judge sent for
them and inquired why they had not
brought in a verdict. The foreman said
they could not agree. They were asked
if they understood the law as the court
had charged them. The foreman said yes
Judge Ship then told them to go out
and make up their verdict and hurry
back, as they had need of them in other
cases. The jury filed out again and re-
manned until the judge sent for them a

man said they could not agree. The
judge asked why they could not agree
and the foreman said he did not know
other than they could not agree. The
judge then told the foreman to take the
jury and go to their room and poll the
jury and find out why they could not
agree. The went out and came back in
a few minutes. The judge asked the

is sitting in the corner over there on the
jury, end says he will he damned if he
don't see the court and the other eleven
jurors in hell as far as a wild pigeon
car fly in seventeen years before he will

turned to Solicitor McIver and asked
him if he knew that the daddy of the
defendant was on the jury and the
solicitor said, no. He then asked Col.
Argo # he kne 1T and Argo said, yes.
Argo if he knew it and Argo said, yes.
"Why didn't you take him off?" Be

That was the duty of the State" Judge
Shipp replied: Il ought to put the solicit
tor in Jail for not knowing his business;
and I ought to put Col. Argo in Jail for
perpetrating fraud on the court. but as
would have to adjourn court if I should
so punish these gentlemen, I will have to

Clark anG Conner.

To the Editor: AS Judge Walter Clark
for Chief Justice is being aired,
please allow an opinion in your columns
from an old farmer who has voted the
ticket over fifty years, and has never
asked office nor pay for it. but does ask
the privilege of voting the ticket fifty
years longer.
The question: might be asked, where
would the judiciary of North Carolina
stand today but for the association of
Judge Clark on the bench? His rulings
for all these years were mighty good
reading, and people were anxious to get
the opinions signed Clark, justice.
During his term as Associate Justice,
is il not known that he was surrounded
by political lepers, and who among men
could come through the term with as
clean hands and as pure a record as he
has done? On the bench he stands next
to Judge A. S. Merrimon, the wise. the
just And now l would ask, how is the
Democratic party to go into the cam
paign with any hope of success with any
ticket made out and Judge Walter Clark
left off OF it?
Is the Democratic party to let the OPP
posing elements make our nominations
or prevent us? God forbid
For Chief Justice give us Clark for
Associate Justice, give US Connor. Give
us the two biz C's. over which OPP
position cannot cross to the judiciary OF
North Carolina.

Why he Didn't Whip the Judge.

At term of Nash county Superior
Court. held by Judge William VI. Ship.
the jury brought in a verdict which the
Judge did not approve and he told the
jury that they had committed perjury.
or they were a set of fools and did not
have sense enough to sit on a jury.
One CT the jurors was a Mr.. Westray
who had graduated from the State Uni
versity. and was large land owner. and
was known as the most successful farm
er in the county. This gentleman was
very indignant at the outrageous insult
offered the jury. and determined that
for one he would not submit to It, pro-
vioed. he could resent it without going
to Jail. So at the recess for dinner Mr.
Westray approached the judge and ask
ed him as matter of law appertaning
TO the prerogatives of judge. if he, he
Jucge, had any authority of law to say
what he did to the Jury. Judge Shipp
answered that he certainly did have that
right by law, otherwise, he would not
nave exercised it. Mr. Westray then
put this question: Judge Shipp. II (
should here and now proceed to give YOU
genteel thrashing for what Won said
to the jury, would You take it like a
man for your part as an Individual or
would you fall back on your judicial IRE
negatives and put me back in jail?'. The
judge said. in that event the preroga-
tives would come into play and be
mighty hard. and that he should board
Mr.. Westray at tho expense of the
county for two years Mr. Westrav then
said: VERY well, judge, if that be the
case. we viii have TO forego the thrash
