A REGULAR LONG TOM"
Green Lassiter Short Negro and His
Eight Foot Flint and Steel.

A negro of your true "befo de wah"
type dressed in a khaki hunting suit
with an automobile cap Of black, and
a single barrel rifle that pushed eight
feet close was the sight at the Union
depot yesterday afternoon.
Green LassiterS of st. Mary's, is the
name of the owner of the Long Tom"
and Green said that he was going
hunting in South Carolina. His gun
is a curiosity, for the barrel is over
six feet long, while the stock will add
over foot and half and more than
this the gun is a "fintlock" or flint
and steel firer. 1t has on it a plate
which shows it was made in 1853 by
one John Walker, hence it is LAP years
old.
Green is proud of his gun. 1T is
not for sale" he said when the repOr-
ter asked how much money would
buy it. Green says it kills dead at
100 yards and that it is sure death to
get in front of it. He is about four
foot eight inches himself, and says
that if the squirrels are not too high
that he just punches them with his
long rife instead of shooting. The
short man and the long rifle, the mod
ern khaki and the auto cap were
curious combination, but Green was
happy, so what matter if the world
laughs as he passes.

the state board will establish such
quarantine and will charge the eX-
pense to the city. The local board de-
cided last Tuesday not to quarantine.
The authority of the state board in the
matter has been questioned and there

will resist the mandate of the superior
board and test the matter in the
courts The city board will meet to-
morrow morning when the decision
will be made. The outcome Will be
