Look for Many Quail.
Sportsman who delight in a day
afield with gun ami dog are entertaining
tho brighost In pes f<>r
tiext season. 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.

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? ;

! could do nothing with the knife.
I said, 'Yonder comes a policeman,' j

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."

ALL WEIiS SAVED.
"Fur years 1 suffered much untold
misery from Bronchitis."' j
writes J. II. Johnston, of Brou^h- i
ton, (la., "that 1 was unable to
work. Then, when ev. rvthinm lse j
failed. I was wholly cured by Dr.
Kind's New Discovery for Consumption.
My wife suffered in

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.
