Plenty of couters.
Do you like couters?
There are just plenty of them in
Wild Cat creek near Rock Hill. In
fact, il Is said that the couters are al
most as numerous In the creek as FISH.
There was a young fellow on the
streets here this afternoon who had
seven couters for sale and he sold them
readily at IL 1-2 cents pound. They
were easy sales except the largest one
which weighed eight pounds and which
the owner dragged along the street for
some time before he found purchaser.
ITS easy to catch couters in Wild
Cat creek" the young man explained.
"I caught these out Of the water with
hooks All you've got to do Is to put
niece of beef liver on the hook and sink
the hook. The couters love beef liver
better than a hog loves slop and every
colored man and lots Of white folks
like coulter meat. That's why coulter
fishing is profitable" ..
