They believe that there will ho a great many cjunil. These birds are by long odds the gamest and the most highly prized of any that are to be found in the U i I* *.1 * ? oouui, wiiii me possible exception ' of woodcock. The belief that there will be many quail is induced by tbe fact that May and .June were dry ; months. The yountc birds tlonrisli I best under such conditions. When those months are very wot with heavy rainfalls the chances are that many of the fiedlinj^s will lose their lives by drowning. Duriim July there was plenty of rain. There were storms that, had they come in May or Juno, would have left a slender crop of new I birds for the sport men to seek. South Carolinian KiHeti In Texas.

C., an ex-Confederate 1 soldier, and a prominent man. He | ; was a son of A. Q. Dunuovnut, a signer of the ordinance of seces- j . sion of this State and an otliccr on the staff of the governor.

"Your trick knife?*' "Yen. Chief of Police Irwin Una , it. It wns the knife I used in ! winning Lanier's money." "How lid you work the game." "Well, the trick knifo is a very carefully made tiling and cost me $8 It has three separate trick springs, which can be used to catch soft people. The way I worked Lanier was very simple'. I told him that he would be my pardner and showed him how to open the knife; the arrangement j with Lanier boing that 1 would irpl Riinwlliirlu In ti..f llinl Im I'.viil/I I not open the knife, and then he would open it. ami we would di-| vide the money that he won. Hut my real confederate was the man who bet Lanier. He came up. got to discussing the knife, and af- i ter examining it lie bet that La- i nier could not open it. He had touched a secret spring in the knife that Lanier knew nothing about and which made it impossi ! , hie for him to open it. Lanier I was certain that he had caught 1 the other fellow napping and put up all the money he had ?$7? ; ami his watch. Then he found he i ! could do nothing with the knife. I said, 'Yonder comes a policeman,' j find my pnrdnerand I walked away with Lanier's money and watch. I had no idea of doing him any harm. He was ft dope fiend and killed himself by taking too much i morphine. That was all. Say, j do you suppose Chief Irwin will ; give me back that knife? It is the best gambling trick in the world." Mr. Win. Johnston and Miss Nellio Plyler were married hist 1 night by 'Squire W. O. Ha ilea. % ALL WEIiS SAVED. "Fur years 1 suffered much untold misery from Bronchitis."' j writes J. II.

My wife suffered in tensely from Asthma, until it cured her. and all our experience uoes to ! show it is the best Croup medicine in the world."

In view of the tremendous a-, mount, of expense, etc., of the Catawba l*ower Company's draya^e | from Fort Mill to its plant on the river, it would seem nioro than imaginary to predict that the company will build a tram road or trolley line from this place out| there one i of these days. Not only would ! the latter prove a nioney-suver in draya^e but also a money-maker j in conveyim* the crowds of visitors to and from this point to th.s popular resort on the hanks of j the Catawba.
