Charlotte Chronicle: Seventy
eight rabbits slain by a hunter with
fifty eight shells in his belt when he
began the chase, is the handsome record
recently made by a North Carolina
sportsman. Down on the Pee Dee riv-
err where extensive electrical deVel-
opments are in progress, the gates OF
the big dam just completed were let
down several days ago, and the water
began to collect behind the dam and
over many acres of overflow land above
the dam. In the center Of the Pee Dee
rose about it, gradually narrowed down
to a few acres. On this island hun
dreds of rabbits that habitated on the
surrounding swamps were forced, un-
til the small island was alive with the
rabbits and other game. The lucky
sportsman, brother of Mr.. Tracy
Henry of this city, set out a few days
ago with a couple of dogs and fifty
eight shells and returned with stock
of seventy eight fat rabbits. After
exhausting his shells Mr.. Henry turned
his rabbit dogs loose, and the little
animals were killed with sticks, having
no hiding place in which to find safety.
The days results are considered eX-
ceptionally good, though such an op-
portunity for catching rabbits is sell
dom ever experienced by a sportsman.
There being several hundred men en-
ployed, the commissary department of
the company was supplied with rab-
bits, which furnished fine morsels for
several meals.
Washington. January 3: Nothing
but death can keep me out of the fight
now" President Taft is reported to
have made this statement to White
House callers today and to have added
that he had no objection to the state
ment being made public. 1t undoubt-
edly was intended to set at rest all
reports that Mr.. Taft might withdraw
from the race for the Republican nomi
nation for president in favor of Col
Theodore Roosevelt. The president is
said to be thoroughly aroused to the
gravity of the situation in the Repub-
lican party and determined to let his
attitude be generally understood. He
has declared that under no circum-
stances will he withdraw his name
from consideration by the Chicago con-
vention next June and has asserted
that his position with respect to the
nomination has not changed in any
particular since he first entered the
White House. Mr.. Taft has told friends
and party leaders from the first that
If he should be called upon to stand
for reelection he would be glad to do
so; that he felt under obligations to
the party for having made him presi
dent and was willing to abide its de-
csion in the convention. He adheres
to this position, according to announce
ments today, and will not quit the race
until the nominating ballots are cast
at Chicago. The president was urged
by a number of his close friends to
make a definite statement as to his
position, and agreed to do so in the Ian
