They arrived at Mir Northrop's house about 10 o'clock with full supply of guns and rifles of tested accuracy and proceeded to the stalking grounds of the beauti- ful animal. It was discovered quietly feeding near the barn and, leaving MT NorthrOp and the warden to bring up in the rear, the Danbury sharpshoot- CT crept around in front of the animal.

The damage would have been far

The burned section is remote, near the
Davidson River in Traosylvania county,
adjoining the Toxaway Companys land,
and because free from fires for many
years contained much dry underbrush,

D. A. R. INSURGENTS
BEGIN CAMP AIGN
Will Fight Mrs. McLean'S
Policy AS to the Con-
tinental Hall.

The completion of Continental Hail
and controversies over the question OF
which faction In the Daughters or the
American Revolution deserves most ere
dit for its erection, are to be interest
ing and potent sidelights TO the fight
that IS going TO be waged in the con-
vention against Mrs. Donald Mclean
and three of her most influential admin

The "insurgent'' faction signified as
much today in referring to a statement
made by Mrs. Mclean before she left
Washington, in which the present pre-
sident general intimated that IL Mrs.
Matthew Scott, the administration can
dtdate for president general, was not
elected that it would impede the COM
pletion OF the hall
OF equal significance with reference to
the imr ending fight is the fact that the
insurgents have trained their guns par
ticularly upon two of Mrs. McLean's
most ardent supporters who desire re-
election as vice presidents general

Of tie District, and Mrs. Charles H

Mrs. Mussey and Mrs. Terry are said
