This sum was not quite] . enough to go around to all the schools j but some of them failed to report! the number of teachers and the i J amount needed had to be estimated and the estimate fell short. If any of the teachers do not receive their salaries it will be on account of the j above statement. The Steedman school will .open Nov. j 1st with Col. J. H. Frick, of Chapinl as Principal and Miss Willie Vaughn 1 of Van'Wyck as assistant. The new building is ready for occupancy and it is a credit to the community and ^Lexington County. It had been 4 iioped that State Supt. Swearingen i could be present and deliver an address but another engagement will prevent his being there. It is expected that there will be other speakers present. The ladies of the community will serve a picnic dinner and the day promises to be a big event. ?^ I Miss Genevive Smith, ? student in the Lexington High School and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ?A. L.

HUNTERS TELL WEIRD TALES One Explains Simple Method of Making Animals Sneeze Themselves to Death?Story About the Roosevelt Expedition. i London.?From Nairobi, East Africa, says a writer in the London Dally Mail, comes a thrilling story of the death of a transport agent named Klopper, who, pinned down by a lioness he had wounded, made a desperate bid for victory by putting both hands into the animal's mouth and gripping its tongue. Africa 'is a paradise for the lion hunter and the literature of the chase Is almost endless.' Not all lion hunters are strictly truthful, however. "For instance, in a remote African village," says the writer, "I once came across a deeply tanned prospectorhunter, who swore that his favorite method of hunting lions was to get the animals to sneeze themselves to death. "'It is quite simple,' he said. 'In lion country you build a little arch of stone, just big enough to allow the lion to enter with comfort. But you must take care' to build it of jagged stones and to see that the center stone of the arch is a particularly jagged one. " 'Then you go out and shoot a zebra or some other toothsome creature from the lion's point of view. You drag the corpse under the arch, pepper it heavily and then retire to your tent to sleep. Sneezes Self to Death. " 'In the night the lion comes, creeps under the arch to his feast, gets his nose filled with pepper, and has an overpowering inclination to sneeze. He sneezes, and in the act throws up his head and dashes his brains out on the center jagged stone of your arch.' "I do not vouch for the truth of that story." A party of men trekking in Rhodesia In an ox wagon heurd a commotion one night among their tetiiered oxen, and rushing toward the spot pumped about a dozen shots into the heaving mass from a distance of, say, forty yards. The mass diminished, and they advanced to find one of their oxen horribly mauled by lions. They "dosed" the corpse with strychnine and retired to their camp. They heard the lions busy at the carcass all night, and in the morning they found that the dead ox had practically disappeared, but lying near the spot were five full grown Hons?two males and three females?all poisoned. That was a very considerable bag got by illegitimate means, but here is the true story of a better bag got legitimately. Incidentally, It is a very Interesting example of sportsmen's luck: When the late President Roosevelt and his son Kermit went to British East Africa, In 1909, they were accompanied on their hunting trip by the late F. C. Selous, one of the greatest hunters that ever lived. Roosevelt's Luck. Selous was particularly anxious to se < a specimen of the East African bliK-k-maned lion, but on the whole trip he never even got a shot at one. Rut Theodore Roosevelt got three and Kermit Roosevelt eight?and neither of them had ever been on an African game hunting expedition before! Some years ago a party of Greeks trekking through Portuguese Zarabesia were followed for days by a guant old lion, who took one of their donkeys each night until only one of the whole team was left. This donkey the terrified Greeks were determined to retain at all costs. When they made their camp that night they built around it a great stockade of hushes and thorns, and In 'he center of it they tethered the sole surviving donkey to their tent pole. Hut notwithstanding these precnu- I rions. that night the pertinacious old lir-n got the last donkey. I I Has Late Fish Story.
