York foegro Kill* 190 Babbitt* Ml Patterson, colored farmer liv ing; in Bullocks Creek township near Sharon, turns his hands t<!> other things to make a dollar after his crops have been gathered and thing* are nioro Or less slack on the farm IuhI now Patterson is sorlouily en gaged in killing- rabbits not for the pleasure of hunting or to feed his family on rabbits; but in order to sell them at a profit. And he is making real money out of the business. On Saturday of last week he took 190 dressed rab bits to (<astonia, and sold them at 25 cents each. He told a reporter for The Yorkville Knquirer yester day that he could have sold a great many morq on that market and at that price if he had had them.. He had made several previous trips to Gastonia,' with rabbits and all told has sold considerably more than $100 worth.He spent yester day in the fields rabbit hunting with a view to killing an6ther supply for the hastonia market next Saturday. He has several other people hunting for him also; and there was reason to oxpect .that he would have another couple of hundred ready for tomor row. <... . - U-?:~ -. . Patterson according to white pe > pie of the Sharon aoetion, who know him well, is one of the best colored farmers in his community. During the past year he and his family made seventeen bales of cotten. In addi tion to that they made plenty of food stuffs to do for both man and beast. He hopes to make twenty-five i bale* another year and he says if he doesn't it will not be his fault. He goes about the rabbit hunting business systematically. After the hunt all rabbits are dressed and made ready for market. If his neighbor! hunters want to sell to him at a price whereby he sees he can make a profit, he buys. If they have other produce \o aeH which he can buy at a profit he buys! He is said to have a comfortable balance in tho bank not only at this season of the year but all seasons. ?Everybody in my family , what eats must work," says. El. "If I have been off on business and come home and find that some of 'em haven't been working and there Ih no good reason, then I gets to work that night." i And K1 is very likely the biggest rabbit dealer in York county. Thero are enough rabbits in Hullocks Creek township to supply the demands of any number of towns for rabbit meat, he says.?:YorkvilU? Kiujuirer.

Prof. Teavor Kincaid, Univer sity of Washington, declared here re cently in an illustrated lecture on fly making and casting. The Romans were skilled fisher men and fly casters," said Prof. Kin caid. "Although our manufactured flies may be more substantial and a trifle more beautiful, the Romans in 300 B. C, considered angling a fine ? art and had many magnificent speci mens of flies in their collections.'' ArcheologljSts are excavating the ancient Roman city of Leptis Magna, buried beneath the sands of the Li byan Desert in Northern Africa. No other buried city so far discovered has been found so intact, with the ex ception of Pompeii; and Pompeii, while yielding magnificent statury, cannot, boast of such architectural splbW61l'?^t6'(lWd"at,,IiPptiK^M<igna.
