Hi Disguise Was Too Perfect (Columbia, April 15.?III one method of hunting, the Indians of early South Carolina were so crafty as to endanger their own lives, according to Anne K. Gregorie in her thesis, "Indian Trade of Carolina in the Seventeenth Century," submitted to the University of South Carolina in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of master of arts. The Indians stalked deer by covering their bodies with the head and skin of dead animals of the same kind. It often occurred that the disguise was so perfect and the actions of the game were simulated so exactly that the hapless hunter was killed by another Indian. Appreciated More Than Ever Columbia, April 15.?"Religion is appreciated more now than ever before," I>r. H. R. Murehison, chaplain and professor of English Ilible, University of South Carolina, recently lK>inted out. "Although some people think religion no longer occupies the place it once did, the preacher who can prevent religion in its broad, fundamental aspect, fitting it into our modern needs, is highly valued," he added. yj.Ajm.N4jP IJJ IIP: (^Koull^ai U U<jvc c< u<? e U ou Pi -4" c/^ke it It's *u crisp ami l<isl\ you don't realize more eiltinc whole hran.
