to start making investments in Dismal Swamp
real estate in the hope that he can later retire
upon fortune made in COAL 1t will take
some two million years, the scientists say,
before Old Mother Earth has completed the
alchemy which is turning the morass into
coal mine. Ten cents put out on compound
interest would yield quicker millions than ten
thousand times this amount invested in the
coal fields" of the Dismal Swamp.
THE "Hiawatha' of Dismal Swamp is D.
Cortez Temple, a resident of Newland
mightiest bear hunter of them all. Mn. Temple
is square-built, grim-visaged fellow whose
1.-THE activity bellies his 50 years and whose
sternness of chin and mouth Is lightened by
twinkle of the eye that betrays keen ST nse
OF humor.
This veteran huntSman has been tracking
bears since the age of IL, seldom bagginss
less than dozen In a season, which runs from
october to January 81, and with a record Of
SO for his best year. He modeStly estimates
his total bag at something over 200 bears, but
other bear hunters in the neighborhood IN
fluenced by no such inhibitions place the num-
Der at not less than 400 and probably con-
Siderably more.
Mr.. Temple, too, is the authority for the
statement that, all his fame as q mighty
hunter to the contrary, Col. William Mitchell
of separate Air Corps fame, Is q mighty poor
shot. During the early part Of the present
season, it seems, the colonel ont for bit of

wilderness. with its depth of rich. black SOIL
some day will become one of the richest farming
regions in the world
The presence of high sandy ridges along the
western border of the Great Dismal Swamp,
coupled with the unusual character of the
morass itself and the finding of tree trunks
buried so feet beneath its surface, has given
rise to fantastic theory Of its origin, first adj
vanced by Dr. j. D. Hathaway of Elizabeth City,
for many years a student of the topography
and history of the region.
DR.. Hathaway links the Great Dismal Swamp
with the legendary account of the lost At
lantis, great continent in the middle of the
Atlantic Ocean, supposedly swallowed up in
perhaps the most terrific catastrophe in the
history OF the world. At that time, he holds,
the shore Of the Atlantic was what is now the
western border of the swamp, and as the
lost continent sank beneath the waves, a great
tidal wave cast incalculable quantities of debris
lieves the sea continued to toss trove from
the sunken Atlantis upon the coast there and
gradually built up what is now the great swamp.
In that connection this investigator calls at
tention to the Indian legends of a great flood
and to the ancient Greek and Egyptian
counts of the Atlantean catastrophe.
Biologists of Columbia University, who for
several years have made annual pilgriInages
to the Dismal Swamp to study its mysterious
formation state that in years to come it will
be one of the greatest coal-producing areas
in the world There Is need, however,
for the reader to reach for his check book

and who offered to give up his shirt If he failed
to bag bear, provided, of course, opportunity
afforded for reasonable shot.
1t happened that Mr.. Temple and his pack
of hounds took the trail of a bear close to q
part Of the swamp. The chesty hunter was on
the railroad and the tracker skillfully maneuv-
cred the fugitive bear that the creature
passed directly by him. "One time he was on
one end of a crosStie and the bear on the
other" Mr.. Temple related with grin. "He
shot four or five times and never hit the bsar
at ALL Finally the bear got tired of the foolish
ness and ambled off. When got back
to camp the hunter sneaked around to me
when the others weren't looking and gave me
a nice sweater saying he hoped it would take
the place of the shirt. 1t did"
In the Summertime, when the roasting ears
in the cornfields skirtng the Dismal Swamp
have attained milky fulsomeneSs and sweetness,
the bears execute such persistent raids that the
indignant farmers mount guard at nightfall
upon their fields to take stern retaliatoTy
measures
But bear and deer not the only game"
that haunt the deep Businesses of the great
Dismal Swamp In these Volstedian days, when
thirsty world awaits with open purse to pay
literally for "roastin'-ear wine," Snterprising
manufacturers of the contraband have found
the swamp an ideal factory Site" The num-
Der Of these operators may be guessed at from
the fact that lot stills" were destroyed by
Federal agents in the Dismal Swamp during
the past year alone.

gagged the services of Mr.. Temple
as guide.
On two separate and distinct oc-
casions, Mr.. Temple says, IT drove
bears right across his path, SO close
that he could have reached out and
almost touched them with the end
of his gun. Two times be blaZed
away-and both times they were
clean misses" The party bagged
two bears on this occasion, but
neither of them were brought
down by Col. Mitchell, Mr.. Temple
says.
THE fellow that does the hard
est hunting gets the most bears" Is
his quaint way of explaining his
unusual success in the hunt. And"
he added, good dogs are worth a
lot. I don't use any but pure-bred
hounds. They're the best when it
comes to following cold trail"
Mr.. Temple is scornful on the
subject of the ferocity of bears.
They're no more dangerous than
rabbits" he says. "Give one half q
chance and he'll run from you
every time. OF course, if you pen
one up in a corner he might hurt
you, but he'd rather run than fight
any time. I've never had bear to
try to hurt me but once, and I'm
not sure he was after me that
time"
Pressed for details, this worthy
namesake of a mighty Spanish
conquistador related that, as a boy,
his father had allowed him to
guide a visiting evangelist on a
bear hunt. The gentleman of the
cloth had given him number OF
shells that looked all right, but
didn't prove quite up to expecta-
tons.
In due course they came upon
a bear. The youngster slipped up
close and blazed away point blank.
Instead of departing this life in
the manner expected of him, the
bear grunted angrily and made q
lunge toward the young sportsman.
Desperately the boy fired again
and again. fleeing all the while.
but still the bear came on, none
the worse for wear. Finally, his
gift shells exhausted and the bear
almost upon him, young Mr..
Temple fumbled at his hip pocket
and found one of his own truSty
shells. Reloading in headlong flight.
he turned suddenly and blazed
away full into the bears face. The
animal fell dead, his head almost
entirely blown off. The evangelist.
who had been a terrified spectator
of the ineffectiveness of the first
shot, didn't stop running until he
regained the Temple farmhouse.
the narrator recalled with smile.

year inexperienced bear hunters
