Catch 36-Pound Bass
Merely to say that Henry Adams
and Luke Johnson, of Kershaw, went
to Georgetown Monday on a fishing
expedition anil returned Tuesday
with but one fish, would sound somewhat
prosy and uninteresting. But
to state that the fish was a sea bass
and weighed 36 pounds imparts an
interest to know more about it. They
went about eight miles from South
Island and were trolling their hook
at a depth of between 75 and 100
feet when it was gripped with force
that told, and for the next 20 minutes
they had a real time to subdue
their game, but succeeding in
landing the fish and bringing it home
to confirm their story of their success.?Kershaw

m f ACT# AHQUT GOKIIXA8
One of Moot Misunderstood Beast* of
(he African Jungle* r
Efforts to aave the life of a baby
gorilla at tho Washington *00
brought the much misunderstood gorilla
family more popular attention
than it probably ever had before.
The gorilla is usually depicted as a
savage beaat which lurks in jungles,
ready to attack, dismember or carry
off human prey. The gorilla's bad
reputation might be traced to tales of
natives brought back before explorers
made a careful study of the anthropoids,
say* a bulletin from the
Washington, l>. C., headquarters of
the National Georgraphlc Society.
One stock tale is that, the big apes
hide in the thick foliaged branches
of trees above jungle trails and seize
passersby.. Other terrifying tales
deal with ferocious, unprovoked
chargos of the animals. Writers and
artists have exaggerated -these tales
until the gorilla's name is a synonym
for a savage monster.
'However, students of African wild
life have exploded, many of the tales
and have branded .the beast as a
rather good natured jungle dweller.
Gorillas usually move in bands.
When man approaches them they
move on. The mother gorillas lead
the retreat With their young riding
pick-a-back, while the huge males remain
between tho family and the pursuers.
,
One famous African explorer who
spent many months on the African
gorilla trails, aveTS that gorillas
charge men only when forced to protect
' themselves or their families;
whon aroused from deep sleep by the
sudden appearance of a man, and
when the family has retreated until
it is fatigued. In the latter case
the male gorillas give the pursuers
ample warning of their impatience
by assuming a sullen attitude.
There are two gorilla lands. The
coast gorilla ranges the forests along
the coasts of southeast Nigeria, Camerouns,
French EquWfcrial Africa and
Rio Muni where the Washington zoo
specimen was captured. The mountain
gorillas range a smaller area on
the slopes of the mountains in the
neighborhood of Lake Kivu, eastern
Belgian Congo. Hunters /have diminished
the gorilla bands until there
now are only about 3,000 of the anthropoids
in Africa, but throughr the
efforts of Carl Akeley and other famous
African explored, the Albert
National Park was established and
the big apes are no longer facing
extinction.
The "ferocious" gorillas are largely
vegetarians. Their choicest foods
are bamboo shoots and wild celery,
which, with vines and small twigs
also are the building material of their
nests on the ground or in the trees.
The huge males of tree-dwelling gorillas
often remain on the ground.
Thus they protect their families from
the leopard, the gorillas' aggressive
enemy.
When bamboo shobts are not available,
the anthropoids ^trip the tough
shell from sturdy bamboo stalks and
devour the tender inner portions.
Bamboo, wild celery, and other tropical
plants and trees have been the
gorillas' defense against man. They
form a formidable wall through which
the human eye can penetrate only a |
few feet. Progress in gorilla land
often can he made only by way of
tunnels which the anthropoids have
opened. *"
In the formidable jungle growth
ono often comes suddenly upon a
band of the huge ape*. When surprised,
the big males may
ereot, beat their chests and display
a hideous open mouth while emitting
shrill cries. The erect posture and
shriek, according to some authorities
on the habits of gorillas, is not a
display of ferociousness but is a
warning to all gorilla land that unwelcome
strangers are in their domain.
Nevertheless the startled animal
is a terrifying sight. j
Standing erect, the huge males attain
a height of more than five and |
ore-half feet and often weigh more,
than four hundred pounds^ The fe-j
males are smaller. Gorillas seldom j
stand erect, however, they usually j
stand or move on all fours.
Gorillas do not thrive outside of |
the African gorilla lands. There are;
eight in the United States. The old- :
est captive now is five years old. Nol
gorilla has ever reached its sixth
birthday in this country.
Earnings by General Motors for

Lancaster Man
Dies By Own Hand
...Lancaster, June 1,?J. Thomas
Wylie,. 55,.president of the J. T. Wylie
company and one of the leading merchants
in the yity, died today soon
after rtoon from a self-inflicted wound
from a .32-caliber pistol.
Mr. Wylie camp home to lunch at
noon and entered his bedroom. Soon
afterwards Mrs. Wylie hearing a shot
rushed to the room and found him
lying .across the bed with a bullet
wound on the right side of his head
and the pistol in his handt. He lived
only a few minutes after firing the
shot, never regaining consciousness.
He was at his place of business this
morning and seemed in the best of (
spirits and no reason can be given
for the act, which caused a deep shock
throughout the community.
Mr. Wylie was a native of York
county and came to Lancaster from
Rock Hill 30 years ago to enter the <
dry goods business, in which he pros- j
pered. He took a deep interest in
the welfare of,, his adopted town and
county. He was an officer and an active
member of -the Associate Reformed
Presbyteri'an church. He is survived
by his widow, who was Miss
Allie Chambers, of Rock'Hftl, and a
number of relatives in York county.

Bodies of Many
?? Indians Found
*
Richmond, Va., May 17.?Skeletons
of several hundred 'Indians and their
trinkets, some of- them scientifically
interesting and valuable, have been
brought to light in the Lewis creek
section near Staunton, Va.
Excavations by P. C. Manley and!
the Rev. David Glovier, both of j
Staunton, indicate approximately 500
skeletons are in the Indian burial
ground, which is believed to have
been used before civilization came to
the Shenandoah Valley.
In one layer of earth they found
the skeletons of Indians apparently
of rank and title. They were buried
at regular intervals, the graves or |
mounds, being highly and beautifully
decorated.
With the skeletons there were J
found more than a dozen different j
kinds and shapes of shells, bead and
other trinkets. In some instances, the
beads still were draped about the
skeletons.
The body of Dr. William Robinson,
of Newark, -N. J., was found in a
Danville, Va., hotel room Saturday.
It is believed that he committed suicide.
E. Bogardus Shaw, 60, retired Chicago
broker, was killed Sunday when
he fell from the window of his 12th
floor apartment.
