D. Cope land, of Ehrhardt, who leads the hunts. “Any time you go there’s plenty of thrills.” Several nights during the last few weeks ’gator hunters have searched the swamps and ponds near Ehrhardt, shining the eyes of the ssurians, then shooting them and! dragging them to shonv Along with the men who search for ’gators are a group of four or five low country negroes, who make their living by killing the reptiles and sell ing their hides. These negroes have been in the ’gator business for years and sometimes net well over $60 from one night’s catch. In Howell’s Old Mill pond last week negroes, hunting with Mr. Copeland, of Ehrhardt, Sheriff T. J. Hadwin, Auditor Bill Brabham, Raymond Moore, of Bamberg, and other people, killed 18 'gatora in two nights. The biggest ’gator was an eight-footer, with the others ranging from five feet upward. The negro hunter* are interested on ly in the hides, but several of the men ate the meat and gave aome of it to friends. M I can’t fill the orders for the meat fast enough,” Mr. Copeland said. “I like 'gator steak better than fish.” as id Mrs. H.

Mr. Copeland said, however, that last yeair he slew dozens of ’gators in Howell’s Old Mill pond and this year it seems that there are as many as ever. Some say that 'gators destroy thousands of fish, others contend that they make way with small turtles, known hereabouts as “cooters,” which eat more fish eggs than 'gators. Dr. J. H. Bucks says that alliga tors should not be killedl because they were created for a purpose, to help balance nature. “Cooters" eat fish and ’gators eat the ‘cooters’ aa well as some fish,” he stated. One of the ’gators killed last weej^. the hunters said, was cut open and three fish, two or three “cooters,” and a lightwood knot were found. The hunters do their searching in a boat. One man paddles while an other shines a spot light across the waters. The light attracts the eyes of the ’gator and also blinds him. Then the hunters paddle to the 'gator, still holding the light on the eyes, and shoot the saurian. After it is killed the men angle It into the boat or to shore. Later the reptile is skinned the hide sold. Occasionally, a mbneter may turn the boat, if it la only That's where the excitement after lira leeSer With the of her for whom we have to no me oor T.
