ATTRACTED HUNDREDS PEOPLE PASSED THROUGH ANDERSON YESTERDAY EN ROUTE HOME WAS GREAT MEET And From Reports Several States Were Represented-Is Against State Laws IT reports be ttue, Tbankery was wrong when he auld: "My lord would ride twenty ml'.-"'.to ?oe a main fought," for many of those who gathered at a well known sta tion on the C. & W. C. on Tuesdiy traveled more than "twenty miles." Karly yesterday morning nome of thc business men of Anderson were attracted by an automobile that had a York courtly '?umber on it. S?.i'u of tiiie men who gathered around be gan to think that they had met up with a fishing party and that if they talked in tho right way, they might be? given a meBs of fresh fish. How ever, their hope? ware aoon shatter ed, for a game rooster, one wtoich perhaps bad! been successful in the fight, began to crow, and the by standers then discovered that it wa? not ;f?Hh In tho bags along the run ning board ot tho car but gamecocks. "Where was the cock fight?" was a question asked one of the men In the automobile. ", it wns down at a station sev eral miles below Anderson," was t'.'.e reply. "Many people there?" waa the next Question. "About 400 I believe," was- the an swer, "many of them coming from distant states. There were a few from Texas. You see we had a kind nf Int?FBt??e cock fight at this main, and there woro people from oil ovor tho country. The cocks were put tn a pit and they did some manly fight ing. I forget now whtcli state won, but I do know that some very vnlua abU,. fighting cocks were killed." "How about D'w> sheriff of that par ticular county, was he there?" "No, but there were plenty others there,' replied the visitor. Judging from the accounts of visi tors from stations below Anderson yesterday that was some cock fight pulled off between here and Augusta Tuesday. The visitors stated that people had been passing their house mr two days previous to the flgVH. some in automobiles, some tn buggies and some walking. They stated that the people seemed to be having the time of their lives, and that thero was much hilarity. Several years ago the state legisla ture passed an act making it unlaw ful for cock fights to be held in South Carolina, and doubtless someone was not on the Job on Tuesday, else some 'ttalng would have been done with those who were so instrumental in having'the fight pulled, off.
