SWAN LAKE GARDENS
Swan Lake Gardens in Sumter were,
developed in 1930 as the hobby of
a Sumter businessman, Hamilton
Bland. Later, A. T. Heath, another
Sumter citizen, deeded 70 additional
acres to the project, and the entire
area was seeded with every known
variety of iris. Water and bog plants
fringe the lake, and are banked
against a background of azaleas,
camellias and other blooming shrubs.
Japanese Iris bloom shoulder high.
The gardens, open in May and June,
display tall cypress and native pines
bright with yellow jessamine, pur
ple wisteria, red and gold trumpet
vine, and Cherokee roses. The high
light of these gardens is the mirror-
smooth lake, disturbed only by the
graceful procession of imported
black and white Australian swans.
The Swan Lake Gardens is the
scene of the annual Iris Festival,
which attracts visitors from all over
the state, and outside. The Festival
includes an outdoor historical drama
depicting the history of Sumter; a
band contest; boat races; a water
carnival; a golf tournament; parades
and a beauty pageant climaxed by
the crowning of the Iris Queen from
contestants chosen all over the state.
Indians Down
Shaw Team
The near-capacity crowd at
Setzler Field Stadium Saturday
night looked on with amazement
as the Newberry Indians scored
a 27-0 victory over the -football
eleven from Shaw Air Force
Base in Sumter.
Pre-season reports that the New
berry team was “looking good”
this year were viewed with
skepticism by many who had
heard the same reports every year
recently, but this time they seem
ed to be true.
Under the leadership of their
new coach, Harvey Kirkland, and
assistant coach, Red Burnette, the
Indians showed spirit and determi
nation that haven’t been evidenced
in the Newberry team for some
time. •
After a bad beginning, when
Newberry received the kick and
fumbled the ball on the first of
fensive play of the night, the
Indians recovered their confidence
by taking the Shaw-fumbled ball

Few Animals Beat
Wildcat in Fight
LAFF OF THE WEEK
A BOUT the only animal, man in
chided, who can “lick hie
weight in wildcat*” i* another wild
cat. Pound for pound, the Ameri-
oan wildcat, or bobcat (Lynx
rufus) ia probably as capable a
fighter a> there ia in the animal
world.
The bobcat ia a distinct specie*,
not to be confuaed with the larger
cougar, or mountain lion, or with
hia Canadian cousin, the lynx. He is
similar to the lynx in that he has
the same short, or “bob” tail, but
he is smaller, prefers warmer cli
mates and hit ears are not so
markedly tufted.
Thia redoubtable scrapper is
found in all parts of the United
States—wherever there ia sufficient
cover such as forest, cut-over coun
try, canebrakes, brushy bottom
lands and the scrub growth of the
west's arid canyons. Unmistakable
bobcat sign haa been found within
25 miles of downtown Manhattan,
and there is not a State that does
not harbor some of these animals.
Because they live concealed lives
and are seldom seen, no reliable
estimate has ever been made of
the number of wildcats in the
United States. But experts agree
they are on the increase.
The animal’s secretiveness is not
due to lack of courage, but rather
to caution. Like many other capa
ble fighters, bobcats are willing to
let prudence take the place of
valor when fighting is unnecessary.
They will go to great lengths to
avoid man, and will flee from dogs
they can cut to ribbons.
This widely distributed predator
is a silent hunter and usually
makes little noise, but in a fight
he will spit and snarl and scream.
In the January and February
mating season his courtship song
has an astounding range, volume
and variety.
A spring litter usually numbers
from two to four. The'kittens 'stay
with the mother during the sum
mer, learning the fine art of keeping
alive. Frequently the litters re
main together for their first win
ter, with each yearling cat going
his solitary way the next spring.
