famous hunter and an experienced
woodsman, and lived to become an
intrepid scout in the service of the
partisans from a hunt in which he had
taken small deer that he carried on
his shoulder. The wolves got scent

on the trail of the hunter. He heard
them and knew that an effort must be
made to save both himself and his
deer. Turning little from his path

watched them as they circled, inces

him. They bayed him in this manner
all night. At the approach of day,
however, their circle grew larger; and
as soon as he could see through his
sights, he singled out the leader Of
the troop and shot him. The rest in

was afterwards asked why he did not

that he was perfectly safe in the tree,

daylight that he might pick off the

Perhaps there was another reason.

TALES OF PIONEERS
IN LAURENS COUNTY
John Duncan, Robert Long and
James Moseley Blazed Path in
Wilderness

News and Courier.
John Duncan came to Laurens
county from Pennsylvania. He built
the first cabin ever occupied by a
white man in the territory now en-
braced within the boundary lines of
the old county. 1t must have been a
crude building, constructed without
nails, glass or boards. Most probably
it was a crude pen of logs covered
with boards rived from the giant oaks
with long poles laid the entire length
of the roof On top of the boards to
hold them in place. Oak pins were
used where nails have, since that
date, become necessary. 1t is a fact
that all nails used as late as the Rev
olution of 1776 were made by hand
in blacksmith shops. The floor of
the cabin was doubtless made of large
logs split in the center and the split
surface hewn smooth. These hun
cheons were notched down on the un-
der side of the sleepers, making a
floor as substantial as could be con-
structed with timber. One end sought
in the cabins of these early settlers
was to make them secure against the
attacks of the Indians. john Duncan
may have cut port holes through the
great logs through which he might
fire a trusty rifle if necessary to de-
fend his home.
This pioneer settled on a tributary
of Enoree,. in what is now Jacks
township, and the creek on which ne
built his cabin afterward took the
name, Duncan's creek. This settle
ment was made certainly not later
than 1775. Having no neighbors 1t
is said very friendly black bear
paid him visit one day soon after
he had built his cabin. The bear
walked in unheralded, viewed the sur
roundings for few minutes and then
beat hasty retreat. The woods
were then full Of these animals and
doubtless bruins curiosity was arous-
ed by so strange sight as q settlers
cabin, and therefore determined to
investigate it.
This isolated Pennsylvania Irish
man could not long have enjoyed the
distinction of dwelling alone in the
forest, for Logan says that Robert
Long was among the first settlers of
the county and that he likewise lived
on Duncan's creek. Long was doubt
less carpenter, for the authority
whom I have just quoted, says: "Rob-
ert Long, one of the first settlers of
Duncan's creek, in the vicinity of the
Old Church, was one winters night
returning home through the sWamps
with several carpenters tools on his
shoulder, when he heard behind him
the familiar howl of pack of wolves
hunting in a body for their prey. APP
pretending his danger he quickly
threw down his tools and setting off, !"

to run until he found himself safe
within his own house Though Logan
does not say so it is most probable
that, contrary &c wei! established Sou
ithern custom, he closed the door
quickly Behind him. Such experience
was not uncommon with the earliest
settlers. Two distinct species of the
wolf were found in the forests of up
per South Carolina, the black and the
gray. The skin Of the former was
most highly priced by the Cherokee
because of its warm fur. The gray
wolf was more vicious, fercer and
harder They made their dens under
the great rocks pStruding from the
hillsides and became very trouble
some to the settlers, Teasing in the
winter on their hogs and cattle. The
wolves, however, were rapidly eXter-
minated when the settlers began to
multiply. The government at Char
lesion in 1896, 100 an 1886 enacted
laws looking to the destruction of the
wolf and other wild animals. Boun-
ties were paid for their skins. The
Cherokee Indians also cherished an
inveterate hatred for, and racial
contempt for the wolf, not only be-
cause of its cowardice, but because
it was one Of the greatest enemies to
their favorite wild animal, the deer.
The hate which the Cnerokees cherish
ed for the wolf is enshrined in their
ancient warwhoop, Echa-herro, ''Slay
the Wolf"
These rapacious animals gathered
in great packs in winter when food
became scarce and ran down any ami
NAL, or even man, whose trail they
scented. If the prey was so unfor-
turate as to be caught it was vora-
ciously devoured with jaws like steel
traps.
Such experiences as Robert Long
had were not uncommon. Logan re-
cords another instance OF man
chased by wolves. In this instance it
was James Mosely a pioneer on the
Pacolet, whose cabin stood near

Animals and Summer Heat
harleston American

Charleston American.
Thousands of people in the United
States are fleeing from the heat of
the sweltering cities and seeking the
cool breees which fan the summer re-
sorts of the mountains and of the
seashore. These are the people who
are fortunate in the possession OF
more of the goods of this world than
others. In the great cities of the
north the little children of the poor
must seek the air of tenement roofs
in order to escape death while the
pet dogs of the rich are taken to pa
latial hotels to enjoy the breath OF
the sea.
Those Of US who live in the less
crowded cities complain great deal
about the summers heat. We permit
ourselves all kinds Of summer luxu-
ries, but still we complain. We give
up strenuous work and lie for hours
enjoying the cool comforts of home,
but forever we complain and fume
about the misery of life and the bur-
den of summer existence.
While we complain we never think
of the poor old horses and mules,
poorly fed, sadly i'll used, which pass
our doors every day with burdens
which thoughtless and cruel men
have placed upon them. We never
think of the thousands of animals
of every kind which suffer the tortures
of heat and which must suffer IN ST.
lence. We never think how many
dumb brutes in the world suffer each
day because they lack proper food and
water and fit places in which to sleep.
During these warm days let US
think a little of the dumb animals.
The faithful horses and mules have
to do their work in the winter. They
know no rest from labor. Many OF
them never even hear kind word.
Many of them. stagger daily in the
heat of the broiling MONDAY sun
beneath the lashes Of drivers who
should be in prison stripes.
If we should spend little time in
thinking about aiding the work of
these who seek TO make the world a
better and kindlier place for enimals
we would find we would not comp: ain
so much about our Cwn Us.

MYSTERY or MOUNT EVEREST
Finding by Explorers of Imprint Of
human Foot on Mountain Given
!. ~ Various EEpIanatIons.

The progress Of the Royal Geo

Howard Bury, was watched with keen
interest by scientists, especially at the
Natural History museum, South Ken
sington, to which the spells were TO
have been brought for study and clas-
sification OH the return of the party
One statement In dispatch received
from Colonel Bury excited special
curiosity, and 1t is hoped that this will
be satisfied by further discoveries in
the course Of the expedition.
Even at these heights (more than
10000 fcet)," writes Colonel Bury,
there were curious tracks in the
snow. We distinguished hare and fox
tracks; but one mark, like that OF a
human foot, was most puzzling. The
coolies assured me that 1t was the
track OF wild, hairy man, and that
these men were occasionally to be
found in the widest and most mac
cessible mountains"

prepared to scout the idea Of a human
race living at such nm altitude. The
probability Is, however, that the sup
