Making Matters Even.

The careless hunter in the deer-track-
ed woods
Thought, as some hunters do, he had
the goods
When through the bushes he an OBJ
ject spied
Which seemed to him to wear buck
skin hide
Straightaway he raised his deadly gun
and fired
With haste to make a careful hunter
tired,
And forthwith to the brown earth
dropped
An object groaning till it's last breath
stopped.
The careless hunter then, to his dis
may,
Discovered that a friend of his had
passed away;
A young man much like him who fir
ed the gun
With which the fatal shooting had
been done.
He called aloud for help. he tore his
hair and cried
In sore distress until there came a
guide,
Who looked upon the living and the
dead.
Then to the living thus he said:
"Oh, that's all right; I'm glad to note
You've fixed the merry one who rock
ed the boat
Last year, and by his jolly monkey biz
He got feW-he's now got his.
And listen, friend, you'd better go,
1t may be your turn next, you know

COUNTY TEACHERS MEET.
ORGANIZATION Perfected and Officers
Chosen for the Ensuing Sch0las-
tic Year.

At II o'clock Saturday, December
9, the teachers of NeWberry county
held their first meeting for the year
in the high school building. In the
absence of other officers, the associa-
ton was called to order and organized
by Mr.. !. S. Wheeler. The first thing
in order was the election of officers.
AS a result of this the following we're
elected: President, Mr.. J. S. Wheeler;
vice president, Mr.. O. C. Shealy; Sec
retary, Miss Eliza Mabry.
The president, after a pleasing ad-
dress, appointed as his executive
committee, the officers of the associa-
ton, together with Miss Mary C. Bur-
ton and Col. F. H. Aull.
It was then decided that tn: meet
ing should be held in the hi'~~',2 SCHOOL
building at II o'clock on the second
Saturday Of each month, and that q
week before each regular meeting the
president should send card to each
teacher in the county, stating the time,
place and program for the next meet
ing.
There was no program arranged tor
this first meeting, but Col. Aull, at the
presidents request, made very III
teresting talk as to the teaching con-
ditions and requirements in the coun-
ty. He believes, as we DO, that the
teachers Of NeWberry county are an
earnest, conscientious body, and that
they will give him the cooperation
due him in the work as superintendent
of education. Let each teacher show
her interest in the association by at
tending as promptly and regularly as
possible. An interesting and helpful
program will be arranged for each
meeting. Eliza MaDrN

POLICEMAN SHOOTS TO KILL.
4 Very Large Bird, Beautiful Specl'
men of His Species.

On last Saturday morning, acting
under instructions of Mr.. S. P. Crot-
we'll, Policeman H. H. Franklin shot
and killed big night hawk in Mr..
Crotwell's barn. The hawk lived in
the barn and had become tame. If
it had remained satisfied to make its
meals on rats and mice there would
have been no objection to its domes-
tication, but the hawk got too familiar
with Mrs. Crotwell's chickens, which
got him in trouble and cost him his
life
Mr.. Franklin brought the dead bird
home with him, and Mrs. Franklin
wanted The Herald and News reporter
to see it. 1t measures fully a yard,
if not more, from tip to tip Of wing
and is very beautiful with its deep
downy feathers of white and gold
spotted like polka dot designs the Ia
dies wear. 1t is worth preserving for
a museum.
Mr.. Franklin says he has seen night
hawks but this beats any, in size and
looks. In certain features it resem-
bles the owl, and Mr.. Franklin thinks
that it must; have belonged to a fam
lily of the feathered tribe now or near
ly extinct, at least in this country.
