10 his daring and his skill Now, Mt the age
of 80 wears, when he is lending his unparalleled
experience to this latest hunt. he is recognized
as Africa's most indefatigablc big-game pur-
sucr since he was boy of 15.
Yet while he has tracked numberlcss herds
of elephants for their ivory tusks and faced
scores of lions in deadly encounter, he has
never killed for the mere sake of killing. The
greater number of his shots have been fired
for the prime need of man, food, and during
one period, extending fifteen years. apart
from the rice which supplied the farinaceous
portion of his diet. he lived exclusively upon
the game he brought down with his rife.
The quotation from Haggards well-told
incident In "Maiwas Revenge" closes hction's
account of Quotermains unreentng pursuit
Of the huge bull elephants that made the mouth
of the veteran hunter fairly water for their

MORE GUN PLAY IN CALHOUN
A DEBT COLLECTOR RECEIVED
BUCKSHOT INSTEAD OF COIN
WITH EAGLES IMAGE.

j. c. Price, Jr., and a negro
named Will Wakefield had a diff
Guilty at Commissary Hill, in Calhoun
county, in which Mr.. Price received
two buckshot wounds in his right
thigh
Mr.. T. J. Aycock took Price to
Edison for medical attention, and
when the wounds were probed by the
physician it was found that the shot
entered the front of the leg and went
through the thigh, passing out at
the back just above the knee.
Wakefield shot twice at Mr.. Price
with gun loaded with buckshot,
only two of which took effect.
Another negro who was with
Wakefield also fired a gun loaded
with small bird shot, and one of these
shot took effect in Prices forehead.
Mr.. Price returned the fire with his
pistol, but the range was so long he
missed his mark.
The cause of the shooting is said
to have been a debt of $3.50 which
Wakefield owed Mr.. Price and which
the latter was trying to collect 1t
is said that the negro used language
that Price didn't like, and Price used
the butt end of his pistol on the ne
gro's head, inflicting a bloody wound.
Wakefield then went into his house
for gun and brought the other ne
gro with another gun out with him
Mr.. Aycock who was with Mr.
Price, and who was unarmed, met
the two negroes and tried to persuade
them to put their guns up, but they
refused and opened fire on Mr.. Price,
emptying their loads and returning
to the house for more ammunition
Mr.. Aycock, seeing Price was wound
ed, helped him in the buggy and took
him to Edison as quickly as possible.
Wakefield was later arrested and
carried to the Calhoun county jail
at Morgan.

HIS HORSE ELVES HIGH"

er too severe Prince is merely al
lowed to thrust his nose through an
opening in the window of the barn
and refresh his lungs with the fresh
air for few minutes. Then he is
tenderly led back to his stall and
left until dinner time.
At noon his food consists of large
quantities of milk and cream care
fully mixed and a small bundle of
English hay, but partly because the
horse through age has lost most Of
his grinders the larger part of the
hay remains uneaten. In fact Prince
now shifts at any diet so common
place.
Carefully Exercised.
During the afternoon, if the sun
is shining, Moriarity again leads the
horse carefully around the drive OF
the estate, frequently six times, but
he AYERS that six are usually too
many for the "critter,' and that five
are about enough.
At tea time" Prince gets anOth-
er ration of mixed cereals and milk,
with an added portion of fine feed
mixed with little ground WnedC.
Then he is bedded down for the
night. Only the softest straw in
large quantities is used for this pur-
pose, and in addition the old horse
is tenderly blanketed even about his
fore shoulders and neck.
To the old coachman the existence
of his equine protege has already
become the all important object OF
existence.
The will of Mrs. Snow, with its
odd bequest, has become the subject
of much discussion.
In addition to the legacy for her
horse $4,000 was also left for the
care of her thirty dogs, now all
dead, the stipend for their care to
be paid to Miss Phila G. Miller OF
Orange, Mass. By the death OF all
the CANNES this money now goes TO
NJ SIS Miller.

WASTE OF THE FARMER.

Agricultural Reform the Most Urgent
Of Modern Problems.
George 4. Powell recently wrote a
letter on .-The Farmers Wastefulnessn
which was printed In one Of the secu-
lar daIlIes He declares that "the most
urgent problem before our nation to-
day is not the tariff. but the proven
tion Of the great wastefulness In agri-
cultural methods that occurs every
where In me United States and the dis
Eemination Of scientific information
that shall lead TO soil restoration and
improvement" The proposition Is ir-
REPUTABLE.
Responsible authorities have estimat-
ed the amount of the food bill Of the
American people at little more than
s12.o 100000 a year. That both the
first cost and the retail price OF most
OF the articles on the list could be and
should be materially reduced there can
be no question.
AS Mr.. Powell declares. very few Of
cur farmers have even vague notion
Of the cost OF the products. The mnk
ers Of farm implements, Of clothing,
hats, shoes. furniture and other arti-
cles bought By farmers. know TO the
fraction Of cent the cost Of the mer-
ehandise There are and there can be
no wasteful or haphasard methods in
manufacturing or IN commercial bust
ness. The inevitable penalty OF indif.
ference to cost In those lines is failure,
Except in rare instances, no other
methods are followed on the farm. In.
that industry 1t Is not the producer
upon whom the penalty falls, The CON
sumner pays for the waste. indifference
and ignorance OF the producer
Because Of sundry legends handed
down from generation to generation
there Is a general belief that a farm
er's life is OF arduous and poorly re-
Quilted toll Much OF that belief is ut.
ter nonsense. The average farmer
works harder today than does the av-
erage man IN any other line Of indus
try. His reward is determined chiefly
by the intelligence which he applies to
hts operations.
