ANNUAL FIELD TRIALS
Union County Fox Hunters Association.
(Written for Union Times by John
M. Little).
The first annual field trials of the
Union County Fox Hunters association
were held at the Hobson place south
of Union and Fair Forest and Tiger
river, commencing on the morning of
October 24th. The weather was ideal,
although a little dry, scouting conditions
were very much aided by heavy
dews.
The object of these annual meets is
to furnish a source of outdoor recreation
with the fox and hounds to those
that love the chase, and to encourage
the breeding of high class hounds.
The hunting grounds are only a
short distance from where Fair Forest
empties into Tiger and the surrounding
country is almost mountainous,
the hunters can stand on the high
cliffs and hear the entire chase. Foxes
were plentiful, and each morning in
15 minutes after leaving camp the
hounds had a fox up and going after
him in full cry. We only regret that
two fine foxes were caught and killed
by the hounds during this hunt. Foxes
are not plentiful in Union county; we
have none to kill.
On Monday afternoon the hunters I
began to arrive at the camping
ground. About 2 o'clock Mr. W. A.
L. Kelly, of Pea Kidge, one of our
must enthusiastic members, was first
to arrive, with his two fine bitches,
"Cora" and "Hettie." Later on in the
afternoon the campers poured in from
all sections of the county; in fact,
every township in the county was represented.
The attendance was large
throughout the meet, a number coming
in cars from Union, Santuck and
Carlisle. Whitmire also sent a delegation
of jolly good fellows. It was
about 5 o'clock when Mr. John L. McKinney
of Jonesville arrived with his
two famous Hedgepeth hounds. This
strain of hounds originated in Buncombe
county, N. C., and Mr. McKin- ,
ney says they are noted far and near i
for their head-work as well as speed.
Mr. McKinney is an all-round sportsman,
and keeps things lively while
in camp, but when out in the chase
he is very considerate, always speaking
very softly, as he says it is not
right to disturb your friend when listening
to the music of the hounds.
While at the meet Mr. McKinney very
reluctantly sold one of his dogs at a
loner nrirp.
We would like to give the name of
each hunter and visitor, also the
names of the dogs and their breeding,
but time and space forbid. Will only
say that Union county can show a
very classy lot of high bred dogs. We
think some of them would score well
at the larger meets, such as the National
and Brunswick.
The all age race was set for Tuesday
morning, Mr. Jim Mobley of Whitmire,
Mr. Alverson of Cross Keys, I
and Jno. M. Little of Kelton were
selected as judges. Mr. Ed Betsill of
Cross Keys was elected "Master of
Fox Hounds," and Dr. Jeter to assist
him in hunting the hounds. Each
member had the privilege of entering
two dogs in this race, and at about <>
o'clock Tuesday morning between 40
and 50 dogs were released in the thicket
below the Hobson house. Only a
few minutes suspense, while each
hunter was trying to find the highest
hill, the fox was up and the chase
was on. This was a great chase, iaj-ting
about three hours, the fox finally
swimming Tiger river to shake off his
pursuers, but to no avail. This fox
was caught and killed near the Laurens
line.
On Wednesday morning luck was
with the hunters again. A fox was
up in a few minutes, a great race
was on for one and one-half hours,
the dogs never going out of hearing
during the entire chase. This fox was
also caught and killed near the spectators.
It was impossible for the judges to
get an accurate score on each entry
so they decided to award the honors
as follows:
In speed only: 1st, "Hetty," owned
by W. A. L. Kelly; 2nd. "Bob," owned
by Jim Mobley; 3rd, "Blanch," owned
by Wade Howell.
The following dogs were highly
commend as all-round fox dogs:
"Bob," owned by Jim Mobley; "Bill,"
owned by Mr. Alverson; "Ruff" and
"Minnie," owned by Jim Jeter; "Sallie"
and "Jeff." cwnfetl by Joe Meggs;
"Clara," owned by Raymond Bishop;
"Flight," owned by Sheriff Fant;
"Carey" and "Carb," owned by Tom
McDaniel; "Jeff," owned by Ed Betsill;
"Ned," owned by Dan Tally;
"Jenny," owned by Jno. M. Dittle;
"Jeff," owned by John McKinney.
We were pleased to have with us
a number of visitors ,and old fox hunters,
among them Mr. Epps Tucker,
Mr. Bailey, Mr. Gregory, Mr. T. B.

Carnival Performer's Tongue Severed
by Fall From Horse.
Gaflfney, Oct. 31.?The Barkoot carnival
aggregation which has been in
Gaflfney during the past week, left
yesterday morning for Greenville.
Miss Josie Scott, one of the performers,
was severely injured by being
thrown from a horse the first of the
week and has been in the city hospital
since that time and will probably
remain there the rest of the
week. Her tongue was severed, but
the hospital authorities say that she
' will soon be entirely well.

WHY THE PEOPLE OF se<
UNION COUNTY SHOULD ws
ATTEND UNION COUNTY FAIR a
m<
(This essay was received too late inf
to be considered in the prize contests,
but we publish it anyway.?Editor.) his
There are many reasons why every- tal
one should attend the Fair. ou
First, the men should go and see en'
the grain, cattle, tools, and all other
things which the farmer uses. By wh
seeing these it encourages him to raise vil
more and better things the following tio
year.
It also enables the ladies to display tei
their fancy work and discuss together erl
the best methods of cooking. Ga
Girls should go and learn more tes
about canning, cooking and all other se:
duties of the women so that when the
older ones are gone the younger ones we
will be prepared to take their places, we
The boys should be interested in the wl
pig and corn clubs. By seeing the Mi
best raised in these clubs brings about we
the spirit of rivalry among the boys an
and they are more determined to do fri
their best in raising pigs and corn, tw
Then when they are grown ups they ms
are the better prepared to take the otl
place of their fathers, and make Cr
more intelligent, business men. ve
We also should attend the Fair be- an
cause of its social features. We meet is
many friends we would not see else- an
where. We are improved in sociality sa
and have less of that selfish nature
we would have if we did not attend the re!
Fair. on
By meeting together we realize we CV
are one large school learning together cic
and we school children are inspired ou
to undertake to do greater and nobler bii
deeds for our county. up
So let us all meet at the Fair and pa
have a social good time. th
