HUNTING WOLVES IN TEXAS.
Big Prairie Animals That Are Not
Afraid to Attack Man or Horse.

You can talk about the sport of
hunting the fox all you want" said
Major Charles Russell, Of Vinita, L.
T. Down in western Texas, where
1 used to live, we had sport that
beats fox hunting all hollow. l re-
fer to hunting prairie wolves on
horseback In that country we chase
the varmints on Texas ponies, with
hounds, and when we get the wolf
within shooting distance we kill him
with a pistol.
LET me tell you it is exciting
sport. Some of the wolves are larger
than mastiff, and can tear up a
pack of dogs in no time. l have even
seen the creatures when brought to
bay not hesitate to attack mounted
man. l have killed them when they
were leaping for the horses throat,
and l have seen them almost pull a
rider from his horse. Usually it
takes more than one shot from a
heavy pistol to stay the wolf.
1--WE have another sport in the
Texas Panhandle almost as exciting, y
continued the major, "and that is
the jackrabbit hunt on horseback
with greyhounds. Contrary to gen.
eral opinion, a jackrabbit cannot
outrun a good greyhound, except
straightway, for, say, 300 yards.
Even a good cow pony can run over
jackrabbit within half a mile.
Those horses can jump, too. l once
owned a pinto pony that could jump
five strand barbed wire fence. -

The Sunday-school." He treated
his theme in most pleasing manner,
using the blackboard in connection
with his discourse.
The last address Of the convention.
and a beautiful close to the conven-
ton, was made by Mr.. Way, Bring
ing in the Sheaves." This was truly
high and noble call to the church
to bring in the sheaves. The speaker
astd Biblical incident upon incident
to emphasize the idea he was seek!n:;
to convey. Mr.. Way closed his ad-
dress with a plea for more faith and
more faith at work in the church an.

When Mr.. Way had closed a nun
Der gave their impressions of the con
vention and all seemed to have de-
rived great benefit from the two
days feast together. Mr.. Whilden
conducted closing song service, in
which all joined with much enthusl-
asm. A personal incident of Mr..
Whilden's life was told with great ef-
feet on the congregation, the under
lying thought of which was that as
two ships met on the great ocean
when he was a sailor on the high
seas, and as they parted to meet no
more in this world, so the speaker
declared it might be with the con-
vention delegates; they might meet
no more on life's great sea, but as
they bade each other farewell, he
hoped that it might be well with the
soul of every one and that all might
be gathered into the eternal rest.
The officers of the association were
announced in The Herald of last
week. Any one in the county desir-
ing any information relative to the
work will write to Mr.. C.. F. Rizer, at
Olar, who is the secretary and treas
urer.

Life Sentence for Parricide.

Irvine, KY, April 2S.-Beach Har-
gis, charged with the murder OF his
father, Judge James Hargis, was to-
day sentenced to life Imprisonment.
The defendant showed no emotion
when the verdict was rendered.
Neither did his mother and sister, by
whom he sat- This was the second
trial of Hargis for this crime. The
first resulted in a mistrial. United
States Senator w. o. Bradley headed
the counsel for the defense in both
trials.
The murder of Judge Hargis by
his son, Beach, occurred in the
Judges store at Jackson, Breathltt
county, on February 6, 1908.
Senator Bradley, for the defense,
entered a motion for new trial,
which will be heard by Judge Adams
tomorrow.

Civic Association.

An occasional visit to some wide
awake, bustling city is the very best
thing possible to remove the glamour
from our eyes and to show us the de-
fects and short comings of our home
city. How l wish every woman of
Bamberg could have visited Sumter
during the Federation of Women's S
Clubs, which convened in that city
last week! / am sure that each one
would have come away with the re-
newed determinations l did-to
use her every effort to make Bam-
berg join the onward march of
progress, and to keep step with, if
not forge ahead of other places our
size.
There an object lesson of hospi-
tality, energy and courteousness was
given us. The residents seemed de-
lighted to entertain the delegates,
crowds attended the meetings and so
enthused the speakers, it seemed a
true pleasure to the ladies of Sum-
ter to furnish delightful luncheons
and an elegant reception to the visi-
tors, and almost every automobile
and carriage in the city was turned
over one afternoon for the pleasure
of the members of the Federation.
Can these things be said of us as a
town when smaller conventions have
convened here? How many of US
have, ever taken an active interest in
the meetings and endeavored to
make the visitors carry away with
them pleasant memories of Bam-
berg? Let each one answer for her
self. AS for luncheons and recep-
tions-but let us not publish our
shortcomings to the world. Rather
let us think on these things and
make up our minds to throw aside
all selfshness and Indifference,
working all together for the common
good of our town. Bamberg is not
lacking in material. it is the home
of brilliant and cultivated minds. All
it needs is a little more energy in its
movements, little less care of per-
sonal pleasure, and great deal
more stick-together qualities. And
above all, our young people need
something or somebody to awaken
them. In other towns musical clubs,
library associations, art, literary
and domestic science clubs, all COM
posed almost entirely of young peo-
pie, thrive, aiding the towns in main
tanning high state of aesthetic ad-
vancement and a pure social atmos-
phere, broadening and improving the
minds of the individual members,
and proving a reserve fund of enter
tainment available in times of need.
What the young people of other
towns have done and are doing the
young folks of Bamberg can do.
You may say that this harangue
does not bear upon the Civic Associ-
alton, but indeed it does. This or
ganization stands for anything and
everything which has for its object
the uplifting and forward movement
of our town.
The Civic Association will hold its
regular monthly meeting on Thurs
day afternoon of this week, at half
past four O'Clock, in the Fitting
School Chapel. At this meeting a
full report of the Federation will be
given.

HacksaW in BartOn'S Cell.

Asheville, N. c., April 2S.-That
the boast of Geo. Barton, yeggman,
that he would escape the Buncombe
Jail was made seriously was indicated
when a hacksaw, made from piece
of steel from his shoe, was to-day
found in the cell occupied by him
during his stay in the local jail.
The saw had been used but with
little effect on one bar. A prisoner in
the cell said the saw was made with
a small file which the yeggman had
concealed in the seam of his trousers
and which the officers had failed to
find though they had searched his
cell and clothing several times.

South Carolina, is in Washington to
ask the war department to allow
South Carolina to set aside one-half
of the federal fund allowed for over
coats for the use of encampments this
summer. Col. Brock says that if this
is allowed there will be enough
money to keep three regiments of the
State militia in camp for 10 days. He

the matter up to-day, but it is not yet
definitely decided. He may get de-

Hoch die Vaterland!

The first of the seasons series
of entertainme nts given by the
Saengerbund of Tacoma, a Ger

streets, last night, brought out
over 500 members and friends of

There were comic sketches,
vaudeville stunts, representations,
a either duet, clarinet solo, a
quartet and songs by the mem
bers of the society, the evening
winding up with dancing.
Everything was in German, ex-
cept the dancing and the playing
of the must cal instruments, but II
was pointed out, however, that
the latter were "made in Ger
many" The next entertainment
will be given during the holidays.

he is the son of Mrs. Hetty Green,
who has even more money than
Ed.
Therefore, when Ed Green sent
out an invitation to Dallas news
paper men to meet him in the la
dies ordinary of the Oriental hotel
there was quite a flutter among
them. The ordinary" of a hotel,
as you recall, is the place where
the cuisine is served. Nobody
knew whether the occasion was to
be a birthday party or Just a mere
Igood-fellowship banquet. The
news was even tipped off to some
of the boys who hadn't been In
vited when Ed arrived, and every
mothers son of them was hungry.
Mr.. Green surveyed the bunch
benevolently. He made a little
talk, urging them to boost the au-
tomobile meet in which he was in
terested. Then, whipping out a
gold, diamond-studded cigaret
case, he selected a fat Turkish
cork-tip, lighted 1t, daiptily in

to three of the famine sufferers
that he had appointed them scor-
ers for the meet. THAT is all,

There were no eats. But, then,

eats, had he?

TACOMA TEAM NOW LEADS
IN CHAMPIONSHIP RACE
Adams Makes First Score.

That was not very satisfactory
however. so Adams, Beymer,
Jacquot and Bob Hill got in the
game in earnest. Down the field
uhey came, taking turns with 5,
10, IT and 10 yard gains as IL 1t
was easy. Adams finally landed
the ball on the five-yard line of
Everett. The Tacoma lads were
lined up In a jiffy and away went
Adams again with the whole team
shooting him across the line as
III he had been pumped out of
"a cannon.
1t was getting dark when the
Tacoma boys lined up to receive
the hast kick loft from Everett.
The ball was wrestled around in
the middle of the field for a few
seconds, then Tacoma punted.
Everett fum'bled and Fullerton
sweeping across the field, grabbed
the ball and started. The goal
line was So yards away and the
whistle was ready to blow any
minute. Fullerton therefore has
tened. Everett was more or less
in the way but Fullerton could
not stop and he never did until
he rolled over the line with the
bail. 1t was too dark to see the
goal posts and Beginner missed
goal, then the whistle blew.

ed, apparently to punt, the Michi-
gan men ran back. Quarterback
Keinath, however, made an onside
kick, which went to one side and
about 10 yards ahead. Gala
CHER, the Pennsylvania left guard
broke through, picked up the ball
on the bound and rolled over the
line for a touchdown.
Intercollegiate foot ball as play
ed today. as we'll as In the past,
must be based upon a definite
system, In which strategy plays a
strong part. n 1t Is to be success
full.
There have been many plays
which might be classed as great,
but in themselves they would have
been failures had they not fol-
lowed some variation that de-
ceived the opposition, at the in
slant the critical play itself was
executed.
Before the open game, the So
called guards-back was of this
class. The quarterback kick ana
any number of plays might be In
cluded in the list.
In the game today one might
be excused who would say the for
ward pass is the greatest play In
foot ball But there are so many
combinations and variations of
this play that no one could be
selected as the best.
