man by the name Of Gent in these
parts. He constructed a boat, cast a
brass cannon and mounted it on his
boat, and launched the boat in Saluda
River at Wares Shoals and sailed for
Columbia. Arriving there he fired
his cannon and the citizens of the town
turned out to welcome the vessel from
the up-country. This was before the
days of railroads, and the object Of
the trip was to demonstrate that the
Saluda was navigable for boats to Co
lumbia, and so to afford an outlet for
produce. The legislature became in
terested and made some %appropria-
tions, but the work was never finished.
To-day drill holes are to be seer in the
rocks at the shoals, which were made
when a boat sluice was being opened.

to a shooting match, the prize to be
the skin Of very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con-
test. and one OF them won the prize
When he saw the skin, he turned Il
over and said: "Ha, ha, me kill him
Me shoot him! See!" And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed a donkey. very useful animal
but he was sure that they had done
It by mistake. believing It to be a wild
animal.
The Indians listened attentively e
the white mans words and then con
