which had barred its light, and as a
picture is projected upon a screen
there appeared before me the band OF
horses standing Just below. The stall
lion with his head back and high, his
tail far out from his body; eye, ear and
nostrils keenly expectant, stood as mo-
tionless as the mountains. All the
others of the band watched him. Not
a movement was perceptible in any of
them The tenseness was unbroken
until a colt-a tiny pinto-that had
been nosing about mare which would
not claim him, nichered a low inquir-
ing call-immediately the entire bunch
wheeled about and ran headlong down
the canyon.
l listened. The hoofbeats came
back to me very fast at first; then
gradually more slowly before they
were far enough to be out of hearing
the noise ceased. l knew they had
stopped and would probably return.
Doubtless it. was a slight taint their
sensitive, delicate nostrils had detect
ed. The wind @Quartered so that it was
barely possible 1t could carry my scent
to them, but it was perhaps that my
saddle blankets, wet and soggy, which
had left at the upper end of the trap.
had tainted the steady breeze that
was drifting down from them.
However, 1t was not long before l
again heard the mustangs returning,
cautiously now, trotting a few steps,
then standing motionless, listening and
seeming: occasionally nervous one
would turn and run back, the band fol-
lowing. only to stop and advance again

There were II head, all evidently very
thirsty. for the leader, with his nose
held closely to the ground, followed no
the little wash that sometimes carried
an overflow from the spring; shifting al
ways, stopping every few steps to paw
away a little dirt IN an effort to find
water underneath. The attention of
the band was centered upon him, for he
was advancing toward the gate-15
feet more and he would be inside
Slowly and cautiously the mares and
colts followed. Here at the gate the
big white leader stopped: one of the
mares found a trace of muddy water in
some footprints left by. a preceding
band and she supped at 1t so persist
entity that several of the band sur
rounded her, doubtless thinking they
would be able to quench their. thirst
without going into the field. Finding
no water in the hoofprints, she trotted
over to the pebbly stretch which long
since had carried water and diligently
she followed every bend OF it's course,
working gradually upward, her nose
unerringly directing her toward the
source She was not trying to see the
spring, but was letting her highly cul-s
tivated sense of smell lead her to it.
With head held close to the ground
she too came quickly to the opening
that marks the gate. There beside the
proud white leader she stood Raising
her head, looking toward the spring,

HOWELL M'AFEE is DEAD
AT HOME In SMITHVILLE
Esteemed and Aged Citizen
Passes Away.

Tie funeral of the venerable and
esteemed Howell MoAfee, one of south
Georgias best known and most re-
spected citizens, was held yesterday
afternoon at Smithville, with which
little town his honored name has been
well identified for more than a hali
century.
Mr.. MclAfee passed away Wednes-
day evening, the end following a very
protracted illness.
The weight of years and general ill
health, combined to end the career of
this good man so widely and so well
known.
For many years he conducted the
popular hotel in the Mttle town which
bore his name, and thousands are there
throughout the land who have enjoyed
his hospitality and friendship as we'll.
He was 70 years of age, and the great
er portion of his life was spent there.
Only few months ago his aged
helpmeet passed to her reward, while
a brother died a short time previously.
Mr. McAfee is survived by two
sons, Messrs. Fort and Emmett Nc
Afee; one sister, Mrs. w. D. Wells,
and two brothers, Messrs. F. w and
Robert E. McAfee, of Amerfcus.

IMBIBES THE
FOOTBALL
SPIRIT.
AmeriCuS Interested in the
Games This Week.
Macon and Charleston Play Today at
Savannah, While Tech aud State
University Bunch Will Fight to a
Finish Saturday.

Americus devotees of the game
gridironical are interested greatly in
the battles to be fought today and to-
morrow between Mercer University
and the Charleston Citadel as one
opposing host, and tILia Tech-G -Georgia
teams constituting the other warrine
factions in the greater gladitorical
tanglefest.
Mercer and Charleston will thus
meet on the gridiron this afternoon at
Savannah, and the scrap will be a
hummer in its class.
Reports from Macon have it that the
defenders of the Orange and Black are
making the one great effort of theil
lives to put it over the South Carolin-
ians.
Mercer has beat Clemson this seas
on, tied Chattanooga and beat other
teams, and have only met defeat at the
hands of their old rivals, Georgia and
Tech. Citadel lis known to have the
staying power. Then the game will be
one of those contests which the college
boys call classy
The outcome of the Tech-Athens
games Saturday is problematic. While
everybody in Athens believes that
Georgia has a better chance this year
than for many years, no one is conf
dent and the players themselves veal
ize that they have got to fight and then
fight some more in order to down
Heisman's strong bunch of Yellow
Jackets.
It is safe to bet that both sides in
their great determination to win this
game, will resort ito every form of
gridiron tactics that looks feas1h'e
and nothing will be left undone that
presents the least possibility of
boosting the chance for victory

the late Senator Clay, remaining unit

OF course, neither Governor Brown
nor Ex-Governor Terrell will discuss
the matter at present, bat it is gener-
ally understood the appointment prac-
ticalEy has been determined upon and
will be announced very soon, probably
within the next few days.

fact that Congress is to meet the first
Monday in December,
What Governor-elect Smith will dc

remainder of the unexpired term re-
mains to be determined He, of course
has nothing to say, and his friends
state that as matter of fact he has
not given the subject consideration,
nor has he reached any conclusion
whatever regarding it.
That former Governor Terrell, as
the appointee, will be a candidate for

appears to be no doubt in the minds of
any who have given the subject con-

morning by Dixon with his attorney,
Albert Howell, who has been retained
as chief counsel. There will be dam
age suit against the city of Americus
for at least 100000, and maybe more,
said Mr.. Dixon, and there is a strong

amount against each of the city coun-
cilmen of Americus who voted for
adoption of the resolutions that brand
ed THE Sins of the Father" as among
other things, Immoral and unfit for
presentation even before a male au-

Dixon says the city authorities OF
Amricus have seen their mistake al.
ready, and have offered to compromise
with him. They were willing to re.
scind that particular paragraph OF
resolution. but he would not accept
anything, he says, unless they would
retract all of resolution. Incidentally
in discussing the Americus affair, Dix
on made assertion that Baptist min
lister of that city was responsible foI
stopping his performance there. He
claims this minister is AFFILIATED with
several Northern philanthropists who
are concerned about educating SOUTH
