on went with me, driven by an all
round plainsman, a man of iron nerves
and varied past, the sheriff of our
county. He was an old friend of
mine; at one time I had served as
deputy-sherif for the northern end OF
the county. In the wagon we carried
our food and camp kit, and our three
rolls Of bedding. each wrapped in a
thick, nearly waterproof canvas sheet:
we had a tent, but we never needed It
The load being light, the wagon was
drawn by but q span of horses, a pair

er game; the trot, the favorite gait
with eastern p~ark-riders, is disliked by
all peoples who have to do much of
their life-work In the saddle.
The first days ride was not attrac-
tive. The heat was intense and the
dust sitting, as we had to drive some
loose horses for the first few miles.
and afterwards to ride up and down
the sandy river bed, where the cattle
had gathered, to lock over some young
steers we had put on the range the
preceding spring. When we did camp
1t vas by a pool of stagnant water, in
a creek bottom, and the mosquitoes
were q torment. Nevertheless, as
evening fell, 1t was pleasant to climb
a little knoll nearby and gaze at tho
rows of strangely colored buttes, grass
clad, or of bare earth and scoria, their
soft reds and puppies showing as
through a haze, and their irregular out
lines gradually losing their sharpness
in the fading twilight.
My foreman and l usually rode far
of to one side Of the wagon, looking
put for antelope. OF these we at first
saw few, but they grew more plentiful
as we journeyed onward, approaching
a big. scantily wooded creek, where /
had found the prong-horn abundant In
previous seasons. They were very
wary and watchful whether going sin
gly or In small parties. and the lay of
the land made 1t exceedingly difficult
to get within range. The last time i
had hunted In this neighborhood was

season. Prong-bncks, even more than
other game, seem fairly maddened by.
erotIc excitement. At the time or my
former hunt they were in ceaseless
motion; each master buck being inces-
sanity occupied In herding his harem,
and fighting would-be rivals. while sin
gle bucks chased single does as gray
hounds chase hares, or else. If no does
were in sight, from sheer excitement
ran to and fro as If crazy, racing at
full speed In one direction, then halt
ing, wheeling. and tearing back again
just as hard as they could go.
At this time. however, the rut was
still some weeks off, and all the bucks
had to do was to feed and keep a look
out for enemies. Try my best, I could
not get within less than four or five
hundred yards, and though I took a
number of shots at these. or even
longer distances. I missed. If a man

all the time he wishes. he will not
scare the game and waste cartridges
by shooting at such long ranges, pre-
ferring to spend half a day or more in
patient waiting and careful stalking;
but II he is travelling, and is therefore
cramped for time. he must take his
chances, even at the cost Of burning
a good deal OF powder.
I was finally helped to success by a
characteristic freak of the game I was
following. No other animals are as
keen-sighted, or are normally as wary
as prong-horns; but no others are SO
whimsical and odd In their behavior

most stupid curiosity and panic. Late

KILLING AT MANNING.
Negro Boy Shot to Death at a Dance
Thursday Night.

MANNING, January 31.-A colored
youth, named Walter Davis, was shot
and killed at a dance held in Fursten-
burg hall, at this place. last night.
The pistol ball, q 50 calibre, entered
through the bridge Of the nose and
ranged along the base Of the brain to
the back Of the skull. causing death
in about fifty minutes.
From the evidence elected at the
coroner's inquest today it appears
that young Davis and another young
negro named David DeLaine, each
went to the dance carrying pistol,
and that while the dance was in pro-
gress Davis was sitting on table
talking to a girl named May Dickie,
when Davis was shot with the pistol
that DeLaine had carried. This took
place upstairs, and after the shooting
the pistol that Davis had carried was
found, SO it was said, among some
trash on the ground at the back OF
the hall. At first every one present
claimed to know nothing as to how
the tragedy happened, but from what
evidence could be obtained at the IN
quest, the jury found that Walter
Davis came to his death by a pistol
shot in the hand of David DeLaine,
May E. Dickie accessory.
Walter Davis was a son Of Willis
Davis, the well known mail carrier,
who for many years has carried the
mail to and from the trains at this
Both David DeLaine and May
Dickie have been arrested and will be
held to await action Of the grand
Jury. The court Of general sessions
will convene here on Monday, Feb. 10.

Liquor Graft Exposed.

In the hearing before the State
dispensary commission last Friday,
the representative of the Paul Jones
Distilling Company testified that his
house had overcharged the State 81
8 case on liquors, but he gave no ex-
PLANTATION why the overcharge was
made. The question is, who got the
SO a case?
The Augusta Brewing Company
stated that they had overcharged
t$125 a car on beer, this amount be-
ing paid to Adolph Slayer, of Laur-
ems, and their other agents in this
State. They did not know who got
this money, but they had to pay to
get orders from the State dispensary,
and they added the amount paid to
the price of goods shipped.
The Savannah Brewing Company
also admitted that they charged the
dispensary more than other custo-
mers. The overcharge of this firm
was 81 case and so cents a keg.
None of the houses will divulge the
names of the parties to whom they
paid this money, or graft.

CRACKSMEN HELD FOR TRIAL.
Men Arrested at Van Wyck Given Pre-
liminary Hearing.

LANCASTER, Jan. 3d.. T. Leon
ard, C.. Frank Shaw, James Scanlan,
Charley Williams>and Henry S. Hal
lon, the alleged safe crackers who
have been in Jail at this place since
their arrest at Van Wyck, this coun-
ty, a month ago, were given a pre-
liminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Paul Moore to-
day. The charge was robbery of the
postofice at Dunn, N. c., on Dec. %,
1907. The examination was conduct
ed by United States Postoftice In
spectors Gregory, Bulla and Mosby.
A large number of witnesses in and
near Dunn and Smithfield, N. c.,
were in attendance at the hearing.
The witnesses for the government
were all cross-examined by the &C.
cused, the questions being mainly ask
ed by Scanlan, who never took his
right hand from his mouth to keep a
snap shot picture from being taken
of him. The evidence against them
was that when captured shortly af-
ter the robbery at Dunn they had in
their possession dynamite caps, fuse,
soap and other, articles used in crack
ing safes. It was also found that
they were all seen in and near Dunn
a short time before the robbery. At
the conclusion of the hearing the
commissioner announced that ne
would send the case up to the United
States court for trial:
The defendants would not make
any statement excepting Henry S.
Hallon, a one armed man, who claim
ed that the evidence was not sufi-
cient to hold him. At the conclusion
of the hearing before United States
Commissioner Moore, Magistrate W.
P. Caskey read the warrant against
them in the State court under the re-
cent act making it an ofense to have
explosives for safe cracking purposes
in possession. The prisoners all
waived a preliminary hearing and
the magistrate thereupon announced
that he would send the cases to the
circuit court for trial.

Accused of Serious Crime.

LAuRENs, February 2.-Yesterday
afternoon the police authorities turn
ed over to the sheriff Lawrence
Hunter, young white man, who is
charged with attempted criminal as
sault on a small white child in this
city Friday afternoon. Hunter was
arrested for disorderly conduct and
was about to be released on bond
when the charge Of assault was made
against him and he was Immediately
committed to Jail.
The parents of the little girl were
absent when Hunter visited their
home and knew nothing of his con-
duct until some time afterward.
Hunter seems to have been drinking,
but he denies stoutly the more serious
offense.

We do not know what our legis'
lative delegation will do in regard to
county affairs, but if they will legis-
late so as to stop the leaks in our
county government they will deserve
the we'll done of the tax payers. They
may ALLEVIATE some of their political
friends by such a course, but those
who bear the burden of taxation will
be pleased. The fact is that the ex-
penses of Bamberg are entirely too
high for such a small county and
should be reduced.

Eloping Up To Date.

The coatless man puts careless arm
Round the leg of the hatless girl,
Whileoverthe dustless, mudless roads
In a horseless wagon they whirl.
Like a leadless bullet from a hammer
less gun,
By smokeless powder driven.
They fly to taste the speechless joys
By endless union given.
The only luncheon his coinless purse
Affords to them the means
Is tasteless meal Of boneless cod,
With dish of stringless beans.
He smokes his old tobaccoless pipe,
And laugh amirthless laugh
When pap tries to coax her back
By wireless telegraph.
