ARAGE : HESTER AND CHICKENS [c< SUBJECT OF DISCOURSE ti n ' st William Banks, "On the Road" ^ vi , Write* in Tht Stake of ' . Cock O'Walk. sa 1 to (William Banks in The State) ei On an early morning train out of a Columbia recently, I was much in- hi terested in a conversation between gi the worldly-wise men on a subject in upon which I claim entire ignorance, and that is the fighting of game- 01 cocks. . ni ' ' \ __ I confess that occasionally I have H read the interesting pit news in H< Ed DeChamp's waif publication N< "Grit and Steel," a paper wished off th upon Ed in payment of a debt made by a "tourist printer," a gift which P* Ed DeCamp's waif publication se like, the fabled horse of Troy, but Bi instead has become a bonanza. Thafc's ** another story. I had also had a ? common education in the breeding of St gamecocks from occasional chats wl with the late Col. Alfred Aldrich dr of Barnwell. The colonel gave to 4e the world- a famous stain, the Mugwump, which had never hacked, according to the l>e8t of information fa and belief, and he had many rare, in and interesting anecdotes concerning ui ~ ' ~7T ~ the achievements of some of the tfr best individuals ol! the fowl of Ms o fancy. To resume, these two fanciers of the barnyard sport de luxe, were a exhibiting upon tieir hands namer- M; ous marks and scars, each of which a bad a history that would make inter- ti< esting "Bporta dope." The general th drift of their jargon, as such it im- lei pressed a greenhorn, was to the ef- ra Eect that a gamecock has such power bl< in that srtroke of his hoof that he be :an drive a spur through a man's co land. And this actually is done th some handler in nearly every big ia( nain. The pain from a blow of that ga cind is 3aid to be excruciating, and 0r i man who suffers it loses the use an >f his arm instantly. What then nust be the power of endurance of ^ i gamecock to stand up under' a W >arrage of such blows?" From these two followers of the p0; port, I learned that "Hester has thi ust shipped 300 choice birds to mc dexico.". George J. Hester is a man rho is known all up and down the Savannah valley and his fame has :one into "foreign parts hitherto a inknown." He does not confine l] timself to any one strain, but is jg i breeder of good fighting chickens s if a dozen strains, so I learned. I S lecided to accept the first oppor-jji unity to visit Mr. Hester's place/! j| irhich is in the suburbs of Calhoun ! (I alls, and is probably . in Abbeville !|j ounty,. although McCormick, and j| everal Georgia counties c'orner ja hereabouts. Now as to the actual fighting of % hickens, I will assume it isn't being I] lone in this neck of the woods, but g he breeding of fighting cocks is ven to the indifferent sportsman a g aore or less romantic occupation. In @ his connection "romantic" is not a {a loor pun, although it is a fact that ?] ill stags are "walked" "until they j| Nearly every reader of The State j|] las heard the expression "Cock of s he walk," as a synonym for the |j. lemeanor and bearing of a person a >f pride, force, dominance, "pep" and ?jj jerhaps real courage, but I venture JH ;o say that not 1 per cent, of the {| eaders know the actual significance s )f the term. First?the "walk." |j SVhen a stag, or young male chicken g iomes to that serious period in life |j when his.voice is changed and he [fj inds little nubbins of spurs coming a >n, he becomes Unbearable. The S Ad cocks, relicts of many battles, j| with difficulty forbear, and the in- K mfferable insolence of the upstart j| :arries him beyond the disdain of (Ij liis betters and he begins to mix it ? ip with other youngsters of his |fj )wn belligerent frame of mind. Then a A- V:_J i j? i ? +i,? @ LUC UUU Ul'CCUCr AIIVWO WiOW j nj time has come for the stag to "go ? [>n a long journey," and a dark man ? lomes into the young life of the j| lockerel, as the fortune teller would Ej say. {a A young cock is "walked" when he fa is put out on a small farm where g there are no other coclA. This is jj| tiis walk and he becomes 'cock of the |j walk.' To be undisputed lord g wiu muster ui a IIUVA. ui ncxio gnco i? :he stag confidence. He does not if) :ome under the dominating influence ij >f an older cock, hero of numerous a battles, nor is he permitted to bruise ?] limself in fruitless but vicious en- |] Rub-My-Tism kills pain. ?_ >unters with other stags. By the me he becomes 18 months old the ag is ready for the pit. He is at is fastest period then. If he surves until he becomes three years d, the fighting cock may then be kid to be in his prime, for he is iugher and wiser and has more ldurance, but at 18 months he is beautiful picture in action?so I ive been told. I don't propose to ve any evidence that will incrimatel * On alighting at Hester's station ?e sees a great many stags runng around the railroad tracks, for ester's station, Hester's store and ester's farm are one and the same one of these cockerels have had eir combs cut and they seem to > very amiable and intent only upon eking up a living, each for him If, and not upon picking quarrels, it soon a note of self-assertiveiss will appear, and then belicosity -and then it is to the walk for Mr. ag. A walk is a bucolic retreat, lere the stag may without hinance get over his "goslin" days and velop into a grand fighting maine?or go into the pots. : Hester's broodery is on his own rm, where he can watch the breedg of the best fighting strains, but >on some of the walks are hens - of e best type and their chicks make od battkt* The exhibition pens are less than hundred yards from the station, y! Such a din. Not the drawl of dunghill or the common cacchina>ns of a barnyard chanticleer, but e wild weird cackle of the chalnge 9f a warrior bird, the raucous sp of the battle cry, shrill and >od-curdling. And above it all may heard the notes of hundreds of ck pigeons sonorously droning eir amative lays, each to his own ly love. For pigeons are not polymous, and there are. no divorces scandals or touches of high life long those who are espoused. The price of a gamecock at Hesr'u place is $10. At this price 300 ire shipped in one consignment to sxico recently. Hester has dissed of between 400 ano 500 birds & year. That sounds like big >ney for fighting chickens .

There arc "walks" all the way from Anderson to Augusta, homes of tenant farmers, renters, share croppers and small land owners, each of whom is given the responsibility of the potential career of a battler. Some days ago I saw a syndicate "feature" story which stated that Pancho Villa, the Mexican bandit, had never gambled. Whem I mentioned that to one of the hostlers at Hester's place, he laughed immediately. He knew that Mr. Hester had shipped cocks to Villa and even Villa's daughter is a "dead game sport" and an admirer of ?he pet, he said. Colonel Aldrich told me that Villa once had bought some Mugwumps, sending a man from Douglas, Ariz., to see them first. A Mexican emissary recently came out and looked at Hester's stasrs?and took away 800. . What is a "dead game" sport? Now that?B another proposition. It is difficult to see how any j>hrase maker could connect deadne'ss; < ' inertness, shiftlessness with ft gamecock, for even up to the moment of lethal release from the torture of many founds they are sports, live game sports.
