Townsend was asked.
.sIt would be difficult to draw a pic
ture which would properly Illustrate
the charms that surround the prop
orfv of the Kinloch Gun Club for the
reason that in order TO properly ap-
nreciatc IL one must visit the place IN

man there is every conceivable KIM
OF game. including deer, wild turkey.
uheasants quail, snipe, doves, ano
countless thousands of ducks OF every
descriptiou. The rice fields ouer 2
feeding ground which the ducks can
not resist

thousand seven hundred acres ha'
innumerable canals. lakes and ponds

plantation days for the reason ina
on the property there are one nun
dred and two cabins which are oc
cupied by negroes who work in th'
rice fields in the summer time ant
take life easy in winter. They ar

There are few places in the couh

the property of the club. The Os
weao. or plymouth bass, one oil IN
safniest fish and very rare IN mos
