Wild Dous In Africa,

The wild dogs In Africa are more
feared by the natives than any other
beasts, for, while they are not to be
digniied by the term Of game. they
III in packs and seem to know that
the native Is afraid of them. Native
burden bearers will often take tA&f
chances in passing around a bum b
herd and will hardly notice n lion. Dtt
when they hear the howl of the Wild
dogs they drop whatever they may be
balancing on their heads and take to.
the trees. There they are frequently
held captive until their cries summon
assistance. Crossing the trail Of large
game. these dogs often interfere with
the pursuit. At n distance the hunter
Is likely to mistake them for leopards
or some of the smaller game. Intense
disgust follows the wounding of a wild
dog. FER then, according to the ethics
OF the chase, the true sportsman must
pursue and kill the beast. These dogs
are not degenerates, but are natural
mongrels. They have low bodies Gov
cred with hair Of coach dog growth,
bushy tails and powerful paws.-Mc-

GOOD CLOTHES ALWAYS

The circuit court has been busy
during the past week on the drainage
case from Sinai, which was taken up
last Thursday morning, and it is not
likely that it will be disposed of be-
fore Saturday. Today and the great
er part of tomorrow will be taken
up hearing evidence in the case and
Saturday it is expected the judge and
jury will go out to Sinai to get a
closer view of the scene of the dis
pute. The criminal cases which were
to have been heard Tuesday morning,
were postponed until next Wednesday
morning.
A couple of peddlers were compar-
ing notes the other day in a local
hotel where they were stopping and
seemed to get a great deal of sport
out of the fact that during the day
they had succeeded in palming off on a
number Of their unsophisticated rural
patrons packages of a medium quality
Of tea at SO cents per pound when the
same or q better article could be got
of their home grocer at so cents.
When peddlers of this kind come
along and offer such bargains as
these it would be a good idea for the
prospective buyer to step to the phone
and call up the home merchant and at
least make the peddler give him as
good terms as the merchant offers.

The Acrobat Artist.

1t Is In the visible expression OF
strength. grace and vitality that the
artist Of the circus holds himself at
one with the painter and sculptor. but
his art, like thar Of the actor. is neces-
sarily alive and inlpermanent. Let the
painter set on canvas his fixed pre-
sentiment Of lion. tiger or leopard. and
the trainer, by his dangerous medium
Of whip and training stick. will make
the living animals exhibit endless
graces Of subtle line and lovely color.
When he puts his head in the lions
mouth, believe me. he considers IL
nothing better than a concession TO
the groundllngs. a mere vulgar, nee
essary potboiler. When he compels
the great tawny thing to repeat the
grace Of n natural movement, the
training OF wild animals being always
nlong the line Of what they do nat
uraily, and leap in a long. gracious
curve across the arena to an unstable
landing or a rolling sphere, he feels
that he is doing something worthy of
himself and his animals. Or, again,
let the sculptor depict a flying Mer-
curry; Mercury must Mt least have a
point Of arrival or departure. But for
one brief moment the young woman
Of the circus, swinging through space
from n trapeze to another. is the
grace Of the flying Mercury. To ut.
tain this moment Of self expression
she has given as long and arduous an
apprenticeship as the artist who works
in clay. bronze or marble.-Ralph Ber-
gengren In Atlantic.

WALHALLA, s. O.:
WEDNESDAY, JUNE II, 1909.
ONE OF OUR NEEDS.

One of the needs Of Walhalla is a
local building and loan association.
To-day there are numbers of heads
of families here who would like to
own their own homes, but have no
means at hand whereby they can Sc
cure them.
The proposition was recently dis
Cussod by some OF our business men
to organize such an association. This
can be done with material benefit to
the town, at the same time giving
valuable assistance to those who
wish TO own their homes, as well as
furnishing u new avenue for profit
for capital. There is plenty Of idle
money in Walhalla that would do
good service for the upbuilding of the
town ii put to practical purposes,
for money than the furnishing of
homes for present rs we'll as pros
pcctiyc residents.
There are to. day people looking
LOT homes mere, WIN no houses TO
rent. There is but one vacant brick
room in towu--thc old post office
building-and that is being fitted out
FOR a store room. and we understand
ii is already rented.
Walhalla needs more business
houses and more homes. With every
available residence occupied by own
crs or renters there is little oppor-
tunity to catch the homc-Seekcr, who
generally come in rs Il renter first,
then later as homc-owner. Nor
does the business man as a rule wish
to go TO new place to open business
ii he has to wait until he can build
his own business house or get some
one to build for him. There ought
to be business houses and residences
little in advance OF immediate de-
mandS. If a dozen cottages were to
be started in Walhalla now we doubt
if one OF them would stand vacant a
month after completion.
Let us think of these things 1t is
folly to build too far ahead for the
future, but it is equally If not more
foolish not to look to the future at
all.

A TRIBUTE OR RESPECT
To Irene Elrod by the New Hope
Baptist Sunday School.

Inasmuch as 1t has pleased our
Heavenly Father to remove from our
midst, on July 1st, 1909. one of our
beloved Sunday school scholars, who
has answered to the roll call here for
eight years, she being the second
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. T. M. e.
rod; thus causing vacancy in the
home and Sunday school that cannot
be filled; but realizing that God
doeth all things well, therefore be 1t
resolved
1. That, though our hearts are
sad, and though we feel that one of
our beloved members has left us. and
yet our loss is her eternal gain.
2. That our Sunday school has
lost one of its most devoted men,
bers. This member, though dead, yet
liveth in our hearts; and because OF
the death we will strive to be more
true to God and obedient to his
commands, and that we may meet
her in heaven.
Sd. That her life, being very short,
was yet long enough to accomp lish
much good among her classmates by
her ever bright smiles, cheerful
words and beautiful expressions Of
love.
A. That we extend to the bereaved
family, in behalf Of our Sunday
school and church, our heartfelt ana
sincere sympathy, and may the Sav.
iour, whom she loved, sustain them
in this sad hour of aifliction.
D. That a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the bereaved family
and recorded in our minute book ami
published in the county papers.

GINNERs MAKE REPORT,

Memphis, Tenn, July ID. A.

issued the following special report
on the cotton crop:
Reports from about half our cor

under This Is the lowest condition
ever known at this date. Some Sec
tions of Alabama, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and Arkansas show heavy de-
terioration on account Of severe
drought and hot winds. Scattered
rains have fallen since these reports.
but in most cases have come too late,
as reports show that cotton has stop

is the consensus of opinion that rain

more rapidly, and there is very little
chance to make a cror from the new
growth on account Of the weevil.
Heavy rains in Georgia and the Car
olinas have caused a small loss in
condition in that section. Oklaho

half the State, due TO hot, dry wea-
ther; the other half about holds its
own. Reports from the weevil dis
