A party of six hunters had three
roosters and an equal number of
rabbits in possession. Few quail were
seen and no grouse have been report
ed seen or taken. Hunkies were con-
spicuously absent.
Many amusing incidents happened
afield. We are still trying to learn
the name of the hunter who thought
his new automatic shotgun was a
submarine and gave it a dunking in
the stream.
And there is the story of the
Bluffton hunter who bagged buck
rake on the opener. Dave Riser still
claims no credit for the potshot.
Seems some details are missing so
will have to stretch the imagination
a point or two.
Dave was hunting with a friend
and friends son on the first day of
the season. Hunting was good. All

In MemOriam
DR.. J. S. Steiner, who died
November 81, 1943.

November q, 1943.
Could I scribble a toast in suit
able way,
With meter all balanced and true,
l would write of man l am think
ing today,
And pay him a tribute that's due; !;
Could I picture the past that APP
pears in dream,
As | fill my glass to the brim;
The "Old Country Doctor" I'd choose
as my theme,
And I'd write the best poem to
him.
I would sip of my wine, homemade
though it be,
And drift to the long, long ago,
And picture in words so the whole
world could see
The Doctor we all used to know;
The man who would drive in the
dead of the night,
Through snowstorm and blizzard
and rain,
And fight against odds as a hero
would fight,
To ease some poor mortal from
pain.
In one little verse, I would journey
back
And sketch him in deepest despair;
In a cold barren room in a tumble
down shack,
AS he sits on an old kitchen chair
BY the side of cot that the angels
surround
To bear a dear baby away.
And there in my verses these words
would be found,
"He labored for love and not pay"
No: it wasn't the money he got for
it all,
1t wasn't the wealth he acquired.
From somewhere above he had heard
the great call,
And the heart of hero was fired;
And under this picture of mine /
would add,
Embellished, if Heaven be fair,
Regardless of failures and faults
that he had,
The Old Country Doctor is there.

were bagging birds Suddenly a tom
cat was spotted sinking through the
grass. All three drew bead. The
youngstar plugged the cat. Up into
the air sprang the critter with one
screeeh and as it scared skywafd
Dave and friend gave it both barrels.
Needless to say all of old Toms nine
lives were snuffed out and a buck
rake standing nearby got workout.
The old rake was plugged plenty
during the melee ending her happy
career with two flat tires. Dave still
chuckles over this incident. Probably
the owner is chuckling too.
But all tales end we'll and this is
no exception. The three hunters each
bagged their limit of two ROSTERS
and a few rabbits for good measure.
Of the scattering of Bluffton
hunters who bagged birds on the
opener Russell Montgomery gets
credit for a double, bringing down
two roosters in two quick shots; Dick
Caughman bagged two ringnecks,
Edwin Rice bagged two ROSTERS,
Myron Tripplehorn and Dewitt Ewing
bagged three birds in the aggregate.
A few others were able to bag the
limit. Karl Krichbaum, Joe Swank,
William Gaiffe and Charles Swank
as a group bagged three birds and
one rabbit. The group only saw two
rabbits the entire day.
This writer bagged half a bird
Ernie Bigelow dropped the other
half. Both of us shot at the same

Suspended Sentence
In School Case

WHITEVILLE, NOV. 2-Col-
umbus county's first prosecu-
ton of this year for failure to
send children to school resulted
in a suspended sentence of six
months when the case came up
in Recorders Court here last
week.
Floyd Rich, a patron of the
Whiteville schools, was let off
on condition that he send his
children to school for the next
two years, but Judge w. E. Har-
relson warned him that failure
to comply with the orders of the
court would mean that he would
have to serve six months on the
roads.
School officials said failure of
parents to send their children to
school would result in prose-
cutions and expressed the hope
that the Rich case would be suf-
ficient warning to others who
might be unaware Of the law on
this point.

opcllliis lcdQ. Two Oh hearts.
There Is a distinction not without
q difference, between wishing and
hoping. The North player in de-
Tending today's contract made
wish for the fulflllment of which
there was no reasonable hope.
Against the contract Of five dia-
monds South opened the deuce Of
hearts. The king was played from
dummy. North won with the ace
and cashed the queen of hearts.
Hoping that partner would show I'D
with the ace of spades he returned
the singleton. East won the trick,
took the diamond fnesse and pro-
ceeded to take the remainder of the
tricks in fulfillment of his lucky
contract.
Nothing could be done about 1t,
partner" maintained North. " I was
hoping you had the ace of spades"
This was not a hope, but rather
wishful thought. If declarer did
not have the ace of spades what
ever induced him to bid five dia-
monds? The best wish for North
to have made was for South to have
the king of diamonds.
The opening lead of the deuce Of
hearts shows that South has four
OF the suit, the declarer Is, there
fore, marked with three. The proper
continuation by North would havs
been a heart, forcing the declarer
to trump with the deuce OF dia-
monds in dummy. 1t would then
have become impossible for South's
king to have been captured.
1t seems, however, to go counter
to the grain of some players to per-
NIT dummy to trump anything.
Perhaps, here as in so many other
cases, the panacea is the simple
process of counting to 10.
