A MARKED COOTER
Found After Raining Around fol-
Many Long Years.

Capt. F. S. Evans Of Greenwood
says he is not particularly anxious
to have a brush with Mr. Roosevelt
on the question of nature faking'
but he is willing to stand for a
pretty big terrapin tale, which he
brought home yesterday from Cross
Hill. While he was in Cross Hill he
saw group of citizens apparently
much interested in something and
asked what was the attraction. He
was told that they had terrapln
there over 65 years old. He didn't
believe it, but went to investigate.
The facts that he gathered there
are that in 1S4O Mr.. David Whitford,
an aged citizen Of Cross Hill, caught
a terrapin, what is generally called
.'cooter" or land cooter' III these
parts. Mr.. Whitford cut his initials,
I'D. W." on the terrapin's back and
on the under side he cut the year
1870. Mr.. Whitford is now in his
Goth year. but remembers the trans
action with the cooter very well.
Three years ago, in 1906, Mr..
Whitford saw a terrapin and on pick
ing the cooter up be saw it was the
identical cooter he had captured IN
1910, for there were the initials ID.
W." on its back and the year 1S4o
on the under side Of Its shell. now
mirabile dictum, the place where he
caught the cooter in 1906 was not
100 yards from the place where he
caught it in 1S40-about TO years
i before.
He put the cooter in an iron pot
intending to take it 10 Cross Hill
the next day, but In the night the
cooter got away. A few days ago
Mr.. o. B. Pitts, we'll known citizen
of Cross Hill caught the same cooter
not 800 yards from tho place where
it was first found Mr.. b. A. WhaT-
ton now has the cooter and he WILL
see to it that it does not get away.

Handled Bailey Roughly.

A letter from Washington says
there was much secret rejoicing on
the Democratic side of the Senate at
the rough handling of Senator Bal
ley by Senator Hughes in their en-
counter some time ago. The fact
is that Bailey has followed the role
of professional scold and general
censor Of the morals and political
actions of other Senator'S 80 long
that he has made himself unpopu-
lar.
II there is a breach of Senatorial
etiquette or more serious offense,
Bailey is the first to spring to the
front with rebuko. The fact that
he does not discriminate between
Republicans and Democrats in dis
tributing his seedlings and repri-
mands has not end"a-cd lii: % the
minority members Consequently,
when ne was neatly trimmed by Sen
ator Hughes last week there was
much secret satisfaction on the DEM
Ocratic side.
1t WAS conceded that the new
conner gave to Bailey just the dress
ing down he needed. Hughes
Dointed reference TO Raileys trust
cntangIements made the latter
squirm. 1t was the general COM
ment that Hughes had done fine
job Of extracting the tall feathers
from the Texas senator.
