.. Saturday was pay day with a good
many schools in the County. It was
very gratifying to the County Super-!

sible when arrangements were com-:
pleted a few weeks ago for the bor-j
rowing of $30,000.00 to pay the sal-!
aries of our teachers for the next two j
months. 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.

Miss Genevive Smith, ? student in
the Lexington High School and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ?A. L.
Smith of Barrs, won the first prize at
the^State Fair for the best individual
\ display of canned fruits. The display
was neatly arranged and attracted
the attention of large numbers of
people from all over the State. Miss
Smith also won first place at Aiken
a few weeks ago for the best display
of fruits consisting of nine jars. There
were contestants from nine counties
for this prize. That shows what our
Lexington girls can do. It Is a big
advertisement for Lexnigton county
and Miss Smith is to l^e congratulated.

Transport Agent Grasps Beast's

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.
