THE EXCITING PLEASURES
OF BANKER PONY PENNING
A Day on the Core Banks How the Ponies are Trap
ped, Shipped and Broken for
Service.
(By c. J. Riycnbark.)

Down eastward on the Carterct coast,
on Core banks. is the home OF the Banker
Pony. Nowhere else IN the world
is this diminutive species of the horse
known to exist In q Wild state. In the
primitive days oil the red man on these
shores, in 1856, Greenville direct from
Isabella, landed and turned loose to Craze
upon the marsh grass their ancestry which
he had purchased at Isabella. The horse
, then was thorough bred of large frame
and splendid proportions. Left to the
care of the Croatan Indian, rather to
paddle his own canoe" the horse with
the passing years and life incident to
his foraging meath no shelter save the
coarse grass of the marsh, exposed to heat
and cold, to rain and shine, diminished
In size and became the pony. For more
than a century he has been a pony and
with his present habits he will remain
the pony with all his peculiar character
istics. Natives finding him on his native
heath and thinking to make him service
abel, sought his capture. Futile were
the efforts at his capture till the idea of
driving him in a pen was conceived. The
building OF the pen was the work OF days.
On the banks were no trees or saphngs
and the mainland was visited where sap
lings were soon felled in sufficient guam
tity. These were taken to the banks and
work on the crude pen was begun.
Once the pen" was completed the eff
fort at penning was on. At first the num-
Der of "beaters'' was too limited and
likewise the number of headers" Ere
quently even on the narrow banks of a
half mile in width the ponies would with
mad plunge slip back past the heater
or rush through the edge of the surf
around the headers and disappointment
was the experience of daily effort at pen
ming. Nothing daunted the sturdy coast
er" increased his crowd and finally the
herd were driven into the "pen,' and af-
ter contests of great excitement and
danger a capture was effected. On the
principle ito the victor belongs the spoils''
the pony of the banks became the prop
erty OF his captor. Certain of his catch
he "boated" to the main land where once
broken and trained to eat he proved a
useful little animal in swiftness, in
strength, in long life and hardness. 9th
ers Of the captured were marked or
branded and turned loose to Craze and in
crease. The ''pennings" soon became an
nlversary occasions and remain so till
this day. In fact, In the spring and sum-
mer time of late years, number of
pennings are held during the season. As
a result of these pennings and advertise
ment of them, the banker pony is to be
seen throughout the State and the States
to the north and south Visitors from a
distance take in the pennings and purchase
one or more OF the ponies and take them

visit at the time to the Carteret coast
he decided the visit would not be COM

About noon in the distance to the west
ward on the beach where spreading surf
water plays. number of
ponies in single file were seen.
They were permitted to pass on to
meet the heard from the cast. In the
distance to the eastward was a herd of
cattle, these driven by cattle beaters
who hoped to take advantage Of the pen
ming to capture their horny beasts which
came ahead with a rush and the ponies
fleet of foot led the chase
These were 10 in number and made their
escape along with the cattle. About /
p. IN. black line darkened the beach to
the eastward. and the cry went forth,
There they come" Twas d picture beau

tramped our way. As they nearcd point
opposite the "pen' the timers" FASTENED
out and a line of men reaching from the
pen to the restless waters of the sea formed
and as the wild pony of the banks ap-
preached he came to halt. On came
the heaters. The pony i'm the mean time
began to bunch and in punching got nearer
the pen. To the east they formed a
line. This done the ''beaters forced
ahead and the stampede to the pen was
on. Excitement was now at fever heat
Those of us at the pen gazed with awe at

ming. So, a party consisting of himself,
Sheriff s. P. Hancock, j. S. w. Helen L.
W. Hassell and r. E. Cocker, of Beaufort
David w. Granger, of Camden, New Jer-
sev; F. w. Jackson, of Cincinnati Ohio
and Fred A. Odds, of Raleigh, boarded a
sharpe at Beaufort at 1890 a. M, the
morning OF May the goth, and started on
the trip down Core Sound to hunting
quarters, thirty miles distant. The wind
was fair and the trip was made in jiffy.
En- route the party provided with quilts
slept comfortably. Bright and early lunch
was spread aboard ship and our appetite,
sharpened by the salt sea at
mosphere, hard to appease, was finally
satisfied. Reaching point in the
Sound opposite the pen about couple
of hundred yards off shore, anchor
anxious thought. Lining the shallow wa
ter near the shore were already a number
of smaller craft. Hailing one of these
our party was taken within an hun
dred yards of the pen, which was quite
near the waters edge, and then one at
time Mr. Hassell and a darkey named
Jim Barry took us ashore. Mr.. Granger
being the heaviest as we'll as the best
looking man of the party, was accorded
first honors. AS he mounted Mr.. Hassell
and the start was made, the writer took
a snap shot at the mode of landing, which
is primitive even in this day.
Once ashore we ran the beach to old
oceans tread At this point the beach
Is almost flat and when the surf breaks
the waters spread to a great distance.
The day was an ideal one. The sun shone
forth in splendor. A gentle breeze played
pver space and the whole day was
one of pleasure spent in part watching
huge breakers chase one another, chas-

Heavy rains last Friday and
Saturday nights did considerable
damage to crops in portions of
Flat Greek and Pleasant Hill town

Death of j. Nj Heath.

ed the death of Mr.. James Nj.
Heath in the New York Polytechnic
where he had been taken only
last Friday by DR.. j. +. Mackcy,
his family physician, for treatment
or an operation for gall stone.
DR.. Wyck, the physician to whom
Mr.. Heath was taken, was called
away from the city the day of his
arrival but was to have returned
Monday evening, and yesterday
was to have decided ~ to whether
or not he would operate. Before
J the day arrived his decision was
unnecessary for death had claimed
his patient. Mr.. Heath died at
I5 O'Clock yesterday morning.
His brother, MIR. M. G.. Heath,
of Columbia, and his uncle, Mir.
.. p. Heath, of Monroe, with
DR.. j. +. Mackey OF this place,
were with HIM IN his last moments.
The News Of Mr.. Heath's death
cast gloom over this entire com
munity and many weie the ex-
pressions Of sorrow that fell from
the lips of our citizens as they
congreGated in groups to talk of
the sad event.
Jas. Nj. Heath was n son of
Mr.. j. Z. Heath of Camilla, Ga.
Had he lived until next October
he would have been 80 years of
age. He came to Lancaster when
about II years of age to clerk for
the firm of Heath, Springs & Co. :,
of which 0. p. Heath, his uncle,
was the head. At the age of 21
he became the manager of a
branch establishment of this firm
at Camden, S. &. He remained
there about four years, returning
to Lancaster and becoming a mem
Der of the firm at this place, pur-
chasing with Mr.. Springs his un-
cle's interest in the business. A
few years ago he sold his interest
to the Lancaster Mercantile es-
tablishment and organized the
Heath Banking and Mercantile
Co., of which he became president,
and which under his management
has been most successful, with
large stores here and ut Kershaw.
He also has large mercantile in
terests ut lorkville, being the
head of the firm of j. Nj. Heath
d Co., at that place. He is Il
large stock holder 10 the Bank of
Lancaster and also in the Lancas
ter Cotton Mills and has been a
director in each of these lnstitu-
tions since their organization. He
is also stock holder in the Ian
caster & Chester Railroad and is
its General Passenger Agent. \
man of excellent worth and of fine
business capacity he will be great
ly missed in the management OF
all the enterprises with which he
was connected.
AS citizen Mr.. Heath was
generous, progressive and public
spirited. He was member of
the Methodist church and was one
of its most liberal supporters.
Kind, clever, and accommodating
his nntlmely death is a great loss
to this community and to the
county.
ln June 1891, MIR. Heath was
married to Miss Ida Shannon, a
daughter Of the late Col. w. nj.
Shannon of Camden. His widow
and five children survive him, and
In this sad hour of sore bereave-
ment they have the heartfelt sym
pathy of this entire community.

place of interment had not been
