loud snores played a queer accompaniment
to the violent humping of my heart.
With a sudden spring. the panther placed
its forefeet against me. Its weight swung
the hammock back, and it dropped quickly
down again.
The hammock swung rapidly for few mo-
ments and my body struck the panther,
knocking him over.
He leaped away toward the cabin and set
up a series of growls, as he watched me
swaying back and forth.
In retreating he had placed himself just
before Hoseys bunk, and his growing awak-

In jumping up so suddenly he loosendd the
boards and logs which composed his outdoor

himself he and the whole structure came
down with great crash upon the growing
panther.

what struck him. He made one enormous

then we turned to Old Hosey, who lay amid
the wreck of his temporary bunk, declaring
that cyclone had just swept through the
Sabine Bottom, and had hurled some fierce
varmint'' against him with such force as to
land him in the condition in which we found
him.
It was in vain that we recounted the ad-
venture to him, and pointed to the clear sky
and ascending moon: He would have his
own opinion.
We made due allowance for Old Hosey's
oyerwrought imagination, knowing how com

in strange place, l dismissed the vague
feeling of uneasness which had stolen over
me, and was soon lost in sleep.
In the morning, however, we found that
something had indeed visited our cabin, and
had carried off the remnants of our supper:
Old Hosey had carefully placed the scraps OF
our game on high shelf in the cabin, where
we were sure they would be safe, but not a
vestige of them remained for our breakfast.
Opinion differed among us as to whether
the marauder was a human being or some
wild animal. The thief had left no trace be
hind him, and half days search through
the wood left us no wiser than we were at
the start.
But after a good supper of wild birds,
which Lee and had shot at a small lake in
the wood, we forgot all about the matter.
Indeed, we were too warm and tired, after
our long hunt, to think of sitting up to watch
for our last nights visitor; besides, old Hosey
had taken the precaution to lock all our pro-
visions in the chest which we had brought
with us in the wagon.
Our hammock had been swung between
and as soon as we had disposed of our even
ing repast, l flung myself into. it, declaring
that would spend the night there, it being
SO warm within the cabin.
Lee had bunk near the door, while old
Hosey had constructed one for himself against
the outside Of the cabin.
We were not long in dropping off to sleep.

verge of some unknown danger, the nature
Of which could not in the least degree

How long ] slept could not conjecture,
but I suddenly found myself awake. At
first thought it was the bright star which
shone directly overhead, and twinkled so per-
sistently through my canopy Of green leaves,
that had aroused me.
But / soon realized that the cause came
from beneath, not from above me. Some
thing was moving about under the hammock
and brushing against me.

Just then. Without shifting my position,
opened my eyes a tri1e wider, and looked
through the network Of the hammock.
The moon was just coming up, like a great
silver ball, ad in the light which filtered
through the foliage of the trees, l saw what
looked to be a large yellowish-colored dog.

We reached the Sabine Bottom without

gave them peculiar but most picturesque
appearance.
/ could not help admiring the scenery, al
though that was merely secondary consid-
Hunting was my first thought, and as we
drove along through the dense wood, old
Hosey informed me that hunters very seldom
frequcnted that part of the Sabine Bottom
Therefore Lee and l counted on some unu-
snail successes with our guns.
About sunset of the second day after ieav-
inc home we reached the woodcutters' camp
on my uncle's wood claim.
OF course it was deserted at that sea-
son, but there was q toierably good cabin
and shed for the horses, both of which
we took immediate possession of, making
ourselves as comfortable as 1t was possible
under the circumstances.
We were too well pleased with the nov
city of the situation and our hunting pros
poets to find fault because we had to cook
our own meals and make our own beds.
The first task, however. was no slight one,
for our appetites, from travelling in the open
air, had assumed alarming proportions, and
old Hosey declared that the supplies we had
brought in the wagon would surely be ex-
hausted in a few days, unless the woods
yielded us the means OF replenishing our
larder.
Compared with the culinary problem, our
beds were trifing consideration. We spread
a couple of quilts over the rude, wooden
bunks, which the woodcutters had put up
in Che cabin, and that was all there was to
our bed making. Our first day in the Sabine

MACK SURE OF NEW YORK.
Democratic Manager Thinks There
will be Landslide for Bryan.

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct. 6.-Norman E.
Mack, chairman of the Dem ocratic
national 'o,lmittee, made known to-
night the rtasons upon which he
bases his Prediction that New York
State may safely be regarded as Dem
ocratic this year. Mr.. Mack's state
ment regarding the situation in the
Empire State is as follows:
"The Democratic party in New
York was never more united. not
even in 1892, than it is this year.
The State is never doubtful when the
Democrats stand together. With aug
mented party we find our opponents
all shot to pieces; some Republicans
are opposing Roosevelt, others are
against Hughes, while another fac
ton are set against Taft. AS an in
stance of the union Of the Democratic
forces, the National Democratic Club,
of New York city, composed Of 1,400
members, made up of bankers, mer-
chants, and professional men, oppos-
ed Bryan almost to man in
1896 and 1900. I am told that 95
per cent. Of the clubs membership
is ready to support Mr.. Bryan this
year, and the club recently passed
resolutions endorsing him and have
contributed $4,000 with a promise
to contribute a like amount later.
With this situation I feel that New
York is not only safe for Bryan, but
there will be Democratic landslide" "

The San Jose Scale in South Caroline

Ilc 0dA OOSO OSoA0 LII ooeAoaA N'~A
The San Jose (San Hozay) scale is
the most pernicious insect pest OF
fruit and shade trees in South Caro-
lima. In some sections the owners OF
trees are cutting them down owing
to the presence of this insect. The
Division of Entomology of the South
Carolina Experiment Station has re-
peatedly emphasized the fact in the
press that there Is no necessity for
cutting down or otherwise Destroy
ing a tree merely because it is infest-
ed with San Jose scale unless the
tree is 80 far gone that 1t has not
enough vitality left to recover after
the scale is killed. Although one OF
the worst insects in America, it has
been demonstrated over and over
and over again that the pest can be
successfully and economically con-
trolled.
Fruit growers all over the United
States who are troubled with this
pest are controlling it by the sprays
devised for that purpose. All citi-
zens of South Carolina who have
trees dying, or who know that their
trees are infested with scale, or who
have trees in an unthrifty condition,
are invited to write to the Division
of Entomology, South Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station, Clemson College,
S. C. Information is cheerfully given
and no postage is required to insure
a reply.

MAN TRIED FOR ASSAULT.
Pretty Fifteen-Year-Old North Caro-
lima Girl Alleged Victim.

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. Yves
Ayres, young man, charged Win
criminally assaulting pretty 15-year-
old Maud Bess, of Statesyille, N. e.,
has been placed on trial here.
According to the story the girl met
Ayres at a picnic at Cornelius, n. c.,
and consented to go driving. After
they had gone some distance the girl
testified that Ayres drove by a BY
way into the woods, where he as
saulted her.
She says he paid no heed to her
protests when he left the main high
way, and only promised to take her
back when she swore she would not
tell.
On arriving home, she ran into the
house, threw herself on the bed and
burst into tears. To her mother she
told her story.
During the testimony of the girl
and the girls mother the courtroom
was cleared.
Late yesterday evening Ayres was
called to the stand and denied the
assault charge.
The lineup of attorneys on both
sides represents the best of the city,
and the case is being warmly con-
tended on both sides. 1t Is probable
a verdict will be reached some time
to-day.

Saluda Oil Mill Burned.

Saluda, Oct. 7.-About 2 O'Clock
this morning the Saluda oil mill and
ginnery was destroyed by fire, entail
ing a total loss of all except the
small office building and the sect
house and contents. The plant was
the property of Hon. B. w. Crouch
who bought it at a recent sheriff s
sale. He had put it in fine order
and was entering upon what prom
ised to be a successful season.
All indications 80 far point to in
cendiarism.
Mr.. Crouch's investment represent
ed an outlay of over $4,000. With
only about $500 insurance on the
part destroyed, the loss falls heavily
on him and it is distinct loss to the
business of the town. There Is little
probability of rebuilding.

Six Million Words.

Including the exhibits the printed

nearly 6,000,000 words; and the TAX
ing of testimony is likely to continue
for many months, 80 that it would be
quite safe to predict that the case for
the plaintiff will be prodigiously
bulky. Indeed, it is already prQdi-
gy in bulk. Up to few days ago,
when the hearings were shifted from
New York to Chicago, the oral testi-
mony of witnesses examined covered
300 typewriter pages, averaging
800 words to the page. That makes
2,81O,000 words. The exhibits cover
5000 pages of 500 words each, max
ing a grand total of 5,810,000 words.
The record is bound in IL heavy vol

Accomplishment has been in inverse
ratio to the verbosity of the promises
thereof. A case which needs to be
supported by 100000 or more words
of testimony is foredoomed to failure.
Volubility is the refuge of bad law

that the voluminousness of the gov
