A few yearn ago the Time* Dis patch asked Polk Miller for an auto blographhal sketch, which he wrot? and which ho com<:1u<1<jU with his f.ivorltu theme hunting. TIioho who knew Mr. Miller and "loafed" in hi* drug store are familiar with his philosophy and have heard hlni on the Joy a of the field. Here Is what he wrote for the Richmond newspaper: "1 wuh always fond of hunting, and an a hoy 1 owned every kind of hunting dog, from a hobtailed, bench legged fice up to the moHt approv ed breed of foxhounds, setters and pointers. My coming to the city, did not quench the deulre 1 hu<l for field HportH, ult hough the average old business man, if rained 4u town, wouldn't have a man in IiI.h employ ment who hunted. If he found out that ho was fond of the HportH of the field he would Hay "that fel- I Iow'h ho 'count.' Such man had no Idea of tho In- | vlgoratlng effect* of a tramp thru the fleldn and - forests, and having Ho aim in life beyond that of mak ing money, sp<*Ht ail of h Ih time at IiIh dtrnk lu the cpuntlng-roolfn. He walke<I from h Ih home to h Ih office and back again, and lived on medl c lie and foods which are recommend ed for dyHpepHla. He couldn't wee that he wuh killing himself daily by confinement, and couldn't nee how any sensible man eould want<? any time in hunting. in ol<l tlnieH there were ho many men like t li Ih In' our business 'community thai I alwayH left town before business hours and sneaked back after <lark, when 'old money bags' had goilt* hptuo. If one of these ol<l codgers was on tho board of directors In a hank and a note was handed In for discount by a man who was fond of hunting, ho would be very apt to say; 'That fellow'8 no 'count; he hunts.' "No doubt I have squandered many a dollar in following the dogs in the flfld, but when I think oT the robust health which 1 enjoy, and the many little vices which might have come to me bad I not made this my only recreation, I have no regrets. What a change hart come over our people in the lant 2 5 years! The doctors tell their pa tients that medicine is not what they want, but go out with u dog and gun and cure the Ills which medi cine will not reach. Tho schools are teaching athletic sports, and the fel low who carries the gun doesn't kill as many of his fellow men as the football 1st does. "The green town boys are sent off to country schools to learn some thing of nature, where they can see at <mery turn the handiwork of the God who created all things, and wor ship nature until ho becomqp nat ural himself, Instead of the artificial creature that he Ih from having grown ui> surrounded on all sl'des by the work of man's creation.

Wish to say in reply that both viHitora and delegates aro fully competent to discuss the ques tions that come before the body, and In order to accomodate all, the ses sions of the body should run throug three days, then all can have their say. Two days is entirely too short for the meeting. No doubt your readers have no ticed how nicely President Wilson has handled the delicate Mexican question without involving this coun try in a war with that nation, but the time Is near unless a radical, change, that Intervention by the United States will bo a necessity to insure peace. A country that can't govern itself ought to be governed' by a wiser and hotter people. The Mexican people have shown their In capacity to govern, for they certain ly don't recognise a constitutional form of government, and a nation that acts that way should be shorn of all power until they learn what a constitutional government Is and and learn to practice it. A quarrel some neighbor nearby will soon in volve you In a fuss and that is what I Mexico will soon do for us. Mr. Carl Ithenberg, who is a stu dent at Carolina, spent Sunday in Camden.
