HUNTING IN PHILIPPINES.
Game Most Sought-Charge OF
Herd of Wild CarabaO.

Since the terrible bagu:os and
.loudburst OF last October the wild
game or the mountains has come
down toward the valley much closer
than ever before. 1t is possible to
get good shooting six hours out OF
iowa. although the better grounds
are larther away. Wild caTabao,
deer and pig are the principal ami
.,lais sought. The hunters arrange
with friendly native hunters who,
with hunting dogs, beat the bush.
MIR. Thomas, principal Of the high
school, a few weeks ago assisted by
some very clever native hunters,
brought in five deer. A few weeks
since the hunters were in ground so
rough they could not use their po-
nies. They stood along one side
of an opening and sent the dogs in
to the bush expecting some wild
hogs. Instead ten wild carabao
walked ahead, snorting blood, which
Mr.. Thomas at the head of the line
dropped a "forty-fve ninety soft
nosed bullet through the lungs of
the rear carabao. The animal plung-
ed ahead, snorting blood, which
stampeded the whole herd.
On they rushed down the line as
the boys "shinned' up tree. At
the lower end of the line was Mr..
Harpst, who only could find a little
bush right in the line of the carabao
rush. AS he climbed the bush it be-
gan to bend, and on the bunch came
right in his direction. By a good
chance shot one of the boys hit the
lead carabao on the nose. The ami
NAL snorted and turned at one side.
All followed him except the animal
shot through the lungs. Mr.. Harpst
sat quietly in the brush, and luckily
the wounded animal did not see him
as he rushed by within few feet.
Then dropping to the ground he sent
a bullet breaking a hind leg. Still
the animal, on three legs and snort
ing blood, ploughed ahead. The boys
followed as he went into the woods.
Finally, tangled with underbrush, he
iell exhausted and died.
These carabao seem. to have his
tory. The old settlers shrug their
shoulders and with bated breath tell
of time years ago when some rich
Fillipinos had large corrals located
in the mountains to prevent disease.
Then some outlaws killed the own
ers of the corrals in a series of foul
murders to get their cattle. On a
dark night while trying to drive the
carabao away they stampeded and
went to the mountains; and it is
said that the wild herd are the Off
spring of the old corrals.
A tame strain still seems to run
in the calves A while ago when an
old carabao was shot the little calf
remained by her side. The hunters
approached and slipped moose over
the little fellows, head and led him
away.-Manilla Times.

The State board of health an
nounces with genuine pleasure that
it's laboratory will be ready for work
July l. The work of this laboratory
is intended for the benefit of citizens
of the State, and will be open to them
through the medical profession.
The scope of work to be carried
on will be confined, for the present at
least, to meteorological examinations
looking to the prevention of contag-
ious and infectious diseases, and to
the administration of the Pasteur
treatment for rabies.
The psychological work will
cover examinations of water, milk,
sputum for the presence of tubercle
bacillus, blood for the presence of
malarial parasites, Vidal test, cul-
lures for diphtheria, feces for hook
worms and smears in general.
In the Pasteur department exam
nations will be made of animals sus-
pected of rabies, and persons bitten
by animals found to be rabid will be
treated.
There will be no charge for any
examination or treatment. Further
information may be obtained by ad-

10 cotton mills and other allied en-
terprises of this city, and late head

which was the arrest, of Mr.. Duncan
several weeks ago and his immediate
release on bail in the sum of $1,000.
To-day's preliminary was held in
Magistrate Walkers Office and about
25 persons were present.
Duncan was represented by ]. P.
X. Bryan, of Charleston, James Mum
70 and Ben. F. Townsend, of this
city. John H. Morris, who has in
stituted the proceedings and swore
out the warrant, had no counsel.
Four witnesses were sworn, B. F..
Arthur, former president of the Peo-
pies bank; H. B. O'Shields, former
assistant cashier of the same insti-
tuition, and w. H. Gist, president of
the Bank of Carlisle, the three fore
going being receivers of the Peoples
bank, and J. NJ. Greer, former cash
ier of this bank.
The testimony of these witnesses
was such that after all the evidence
had been given in and various letters
and kilograms admitted in evidence,
Magistrate Walker ruled that the
case should go to a higher court.
Following the preliminary, Magis-
trate Walker allowed the same bond
to remain in force.

Sineer Holt.

he was put off a Seaboard Air Line
train. on which he was stealing a
ride. Solomon Shepard, negro. ac-
cording to his own confession made
here to-day, shot and killed Engineer
Holt. The crime was committed last
December, but the negro was arrested
only few days ago in Columbus,
Ohio. where his connection with the
case was first learned through his
protestations of innocence Of it. The
police had taken him in custody On
another charge.
in his confession to-day Shepard
said he was returning to Durham
from Efland, 19 miles away, after a
visit to his Sweetheart, when the kill
ing occurred. He said he remained
in Durham until six weeks ago.
Shepard spent all of yesterday
reading his Bible and "getting re-
ligion," and when Dr.. \. NJ. Johnson
entered the Jail to minister to sick
prisoner he called him to the door OF
his cell and laid bare the facts in the
mysterious murler.
Shepard says Tat on the night of
the tragedy he vas kicked off train
by brakeman and was in search of
the brakeman to kill him when he
found him, with several other men,
in the cab talking with Engineer
Holt Crawling nearer the engine he
raised his gun and fired, the shot
striking the engineer. He then
walked up the track, and, seeing a
light in the Greenberg house, fired at
it lust to scare somebody" 1t was
this latter incident that had much to
do with the arrest of Reuben Barbee,
who had had trouble with the Green
bergs and who is now in Jail charged
with the murder of Holt. Shepard
says that he was here at the time of
Barbee's arrest and remained until
about six weeks ago. He denies that
he had a white accomplice in his
crime.
On the strength of the negro's con-
fession Barbee's attorneys will to-
morrow ask for their clients re"
lease.

Atlanta, Ca, June 26.-The Geor-
gia railroad strike arbitration board
tonight decided against the seniority
of white fremen over negroes. The
arbitrators, however, placed a prem
ium on intelligence among firemen,
which, it is believed, will ultimately
result in the gradual elimination of
all except the most expert negro fire.

OPPOSITION TO RECORDER.
Matters Of Interest to Come Before The
Beard OF Aldermen

The Board of City Aldermen
met last night in the grand jury
room at the court house, and the
meeting was one Of much dis
cussion.
Three matters of interest were
brought up-the recordership
bill Of Senator j. S. Manning,
discussion of a new municipal
building and investigation of the
city fire department and water
works. The recordership bill
came in for some hard knocks,
the aldermen being opposed to
it. Several of them spoke against
the measure and also several out
siders made themselves heard.
Senator Manning was present
and spoke in behalf of the bill.
There were suggestions when
fire department matters came up.
1t was ordered that Chief Maddy
bring his members tonight, and
furnish a roster of the hose COM
panies July l, 1908, and January
l, 1909, the object being to ascer-
tain the standing Of the COM
panies and their attendance up
on the meetings. Alderman
Mason said, II hear that lot of
them (firemen) are tanking up
at the fires" Alderman Under
wood said that effective service
cannot be expected without paid
men, and suggested that the
men of the company be inter-
viewed as to the needs of the de-
partment, to discuss the service
and ascertain the trouble with
them.
The water pressure at Sunday
mornings fire was discussed.
Alderman Carpenter said that
he understood that the water
company was obliged to throw
ten streams at a height of 100
feet. and failure to do this is
attended by certain penalties.
By a vote it was:decided to call
a test Of the pressure this after
noon at a o'clock.
Alderman Hill and Pridgen
were appointed to discuss with
the county commissioners the
proposition to build the next
municipal building and court
house together.

The origin of the fire is unknown,
but is supposed to have been oc-
casioned from a live wire on the
stage of the opera house.
The force of the Morning Her.
aid were the first to discover the
flames and give the alarm. The
firemen, owing 10 the late hour Of
the night were not SO prompt in
arriving and the confagration
gained considerable headway be-
fore the effective work could be
done, and it was seen that the
entire building. so far as the
wood work was concerned. was
doomed.
The building was occupied by
renters of the stalls in the meat
and fish market, and city clerk
and tax collector on the first
floor, while the entire second
floor was used as an opera house
with the exception Of one or two
Offices for city help in the south
end Of the building.
The loss to those occupying
stalls is said to be complete as
none of them carried insurance.
The loss to the city was covered
by insurance.
The rebuilding of the struct-
ure has not, Of course been de-
cided upon, but it is supposed
that it will be rebuilt as early as
practical.
The building, as stated above,
was comparatively new and cost
when completed something over
$5O,0O0.
THE LOSERS.

borhood Of $50, 900 and with the

the opera house, has a loss of
about $500 or $500 and on this
