and very much excited. On going to
investigate she discovered chicken
hawk and a young game rooster en-
gagged In mortal combat The hawk
had swooped down after a chicken,
and the game rooster had rushed for
ward to fight it of.
The hawk abandoned its quarry, &C.
cepted the challenge and squared itself
for fight. When Mrs. Bennefeld ar
rived they were engaged like two reg,
ular gamecocks. The hawk was using
It's beak and talons with telling effect,
while the rooster was trying to make
good use Of it's spurs. They were tan
gled up andthe feathers flying in every
direction.
The hawk was so intent on fighting
that it scarcely noticed the presence OF
the farmers wife, but finally withdrew
reluctantly at her approach and mount
ed a stump a few feet away. Mrs.
Bennefeld picked up the rooster and
started to the house with It, but II
died In her arms.
The hawks talons had cut Its throat
and severed It's windpipe. The hawk
subsequently made repeated trips at
brief intervals to the premises, appar.
emily for no other purpose than to seek
q chance to renew the contest.

CAUGHT Wolf by tho Tail.

Sixteen-year-old Louis Crosse has re-
ceived a check from the county auditor
In payment Of the bounty for the scalp
Of a big timber wolf which he killed
near his fathers farm at Little Sua-
mico, MINI. Crosse and his father
had been out hunting, and their dogs
struck the trail Of wolf. They fol-
lowed it all day. Toward evening
they came up to the wolf just as 1t was
about to crawl into a hole. It was
part way In, but the older Crosse ran
forward and seized the animal by the
tail. It tried to snap at him, but
Crosse, who is a strong man, hurled It
rapidly about until, losing his hold on
its caudal appendage, the wolf shot
away for several yards and lay on the
ground apparently dead. Louis made
certain Of his prey by putting bullet
into its head.

1ad With Doctors.

There is a coolness between the
Woodmen of the World and the doc
tors, growing out of an alleged dis
courtesy to representatives of the
former.
At the meeting of the Wood camps
of jurisdiction l, Woodmen of the
World, held in Columbia in March, a
committee, consisting of Col. E. R.
Cox, of Darlington; S. O'Anian, of
Marion; w. E. Lea, of Florence, and
Col. T. C. Hamer, of Bennettsville,
was appointed to confer with the
state medical association at it's meet
ing in Bennettsville during April, and
to present to that body a memorial
concerning the examination fees be-
ing charged fraternal orders.
In execution of its instructions, the
committee went to Bennettsville and
made known its presence and the
purpose thereof to several members
Of the associations house Of dele
gates. They were told to wait on
the outside until informed of the as
sociation's pleasure regarding them.
After they had fingered patiently on
the outside for a considerable time,
they were informed that the house
of delegates did not care to hear
them. The committee then left in
considerable indignation, feeling that
it had not been treated with court
esy and that in snubbing it the as
sociation had gratitously insulted the
$4,000 odd Woodmen in the state.

Wouldn't Kin Dove.

The passengers on a crowded cross
town car in Brooklyn one day recently
felt the brakes applied with such sud
denness that only a few Of those who
were standing withstood the jar. Then
they saw the motorman jump from the
platform and kneel in front Of the car
Several Of the passengers made their
way out and were surprised to see the
motorman stroking tho feathers Of a
mother dove that sat on one Of the rails
with a little one under her wing. i've

as he placed them on the curb out Of

among the army Of personal appli-

Quick
Payment

upon its Bonds of Suretyship is
the fixed rule of the American
Surety Company of New York.
Without bubble or technical OBJ
lection, and with only such delay
as careful examination of proof
requires, losses are promptly paid,
the check being often mailed the
same day the claim is fled.
On Personal Security, recovery
necessarily takes time; with the
American Surety Company of New
York, recovery upon proof of loss
is certain and immediate. Such
quick action often saves a bank
from closing its doors, or a firm
from going into bankruptcy.
Persons, firms and corporations
requiring bonds from their EN-.
ployees, should write to the
