SATURDAY NIGHT.
An Old Time Fire-Hunt
‘“Shine ’em eye, boss; shine 'em eye, right
a’!” loudly whispered the excited negro,
Around, the blackness of night was as a
wall. Overhead, even the aky was drak, only
the nearer stars showing a faint glimmer. The
Boy stood with rifle on half-cock; in front a ne
gro lad about his own age, carrying the family
frying pan filled with lightwood splinters,
whose blaze lighted a small space around them,
In front a few yards staring out of the wall of
blackness, two balls glistened, reflecting the
rays of the light. They were the eyes of a
deer, and the wide space between told the ex
perienced that the owner was a big buck.
The two boys were fire-hunting. It was
"dark nights” and the deer were fat with the
grasses of late summer. The deer of those days
were curious animals. If not aroused too soon
from sleep in the early night, by some one car
rying a bright light, the bucks would not run,
but would stand with head thrown up and
eta re at the light until the hunter came within
range. It was this peculiarity that made fire-
ntins popular. Only two hunted together,
one to carry the light, and this job usually fell
upon the negro, of whom there was nearly al
ways a family on every farm. But this kind of
hunting required a knowledge of the deer’s
haunts, patience, and caution, for it would not
do for them to hear too soon.
The boys had made up the hunt the night
before, and during the day’s plowing laid their
plans. One quit work before night to get a
supply of fat splinters, the other requisitioned
the frying-pan whhout Mother’s consent and
pieced out the handle with a stick of wood. Af
ter supper at early candle-light, they started.
It was over a mile through the thick pines
and wiregrass before the creek was reached,
and a halt was made to light the torch. Then
they proceeded slowly, neither speaking ex
cept in whispers. Here was a favorite run for
deer, where they came up the creek until near
its head and then crossed a dividing ridge of
hills to the headwaters of another creek. This
ridge was a watershed between tributaries of
rivers flowing in nearly opposite directions.
The deer would perhaps be lying In a clttmp
of pines on the near hillside, or In low bushes
just outside the creek swamp. So the two made
their way through the bottom grass between
the hillside and the creek,
For two hours or more they walked, halting
often to peer around them for the shining eyes
which alone would denote the presence of
deer. It was nearly 11 o’clock before the warn
ing whisper of the negro told the Boy that
game was sighted.
Carefully, for the slightest sound might
frighten the buck, he brought his rifle up, and
with a rest on the shoulder of the negro he drew
a careful bead. For the rifle was the old-fash
ioned, muzzle-loading kind, and the hunter had
only one chance. At last the twin sights came
into line with the black spot between the glis
tening eyes—the Boy held his breath, and
pressed the trigger.
As the rifle cracked, like a whip, the two
started to run forward to see the result.
"Swish 1” "Bam!” "KerplunkI”
A 42-centimetre shell hit the fire-pan and
sent the splinters spinning in every direction.
With his last breath knocked out in a blood
curdling yell that could have been heard a
mile, the negro was sent to earth with a shock
that half-paralyzed him. The Boy didn’t know
what hit him, but he came to his senses in a
few seconds and raised up on his elbow.
The negro was lying flat of his back, and
making good use of the breath that had just
come back.
"Oh, Lordy, massa, don’t hit me no mo’!
Please, massa, call the yethquake off! Oh, Lor
dy I I aint done nothin’ and I won’t do nothin’
no mo’! Oh, Good Lordy! don’t let the yeth
ewaller me.”
“What’s the matter with you. Gabe?” the
Boy asked, too scared himself to laugh. “A
yethquake’s come, and the world’s gwine-ter
end,” the negro pleaded; “Oh, Mos’ Lord; hab
For some unknown reason, the buck had
thrown, up his bead just as’the rifle fired, and
the ball, instead of hitting between the eyes,
had struck centrally in the chest and gone
through the heart With the impulse known to
follow such shots, the buck had bounded
straight ahead, overturned the two boye, and
ran until the death momentum failed, when he
fell in his tracks. Luckily-the boys had turned
homeward; had they not, the buzzards would
have had a venison feast
Chattering delightedly, the boys swung the
carcass, ridded it, tied the four feet together
and took turns at carrying it home.
They walked and talked, going over their
startling experience, until suddenly it dawned
upon them that they should have recahed home
long ago. Neither had a watch, but when tbe
Boy stepped outside the light’s radius, he could
tell by the stars that morning was not far off.
Soon, they came to a black stump which had
a familiar look, and the Boy, who was carrying
the deer, thought he remembered snuffing
splinters at it half an hour gone. He looked;
there were the coals—they had been traveling
in a circle I
Then they put out the light and went on
without it—something they should have done
at the beginning, for nothing else so readily
gets a pedestrian lost, in the woods. The Boy
could easily tell the points of ihe compass by
the stars, but he did not know in which direc
tion home lay. Finally, calculating by the fact
that they had not crossed any streams, he
struck out, guided by the north star. A mile or
more they walked. From the top of a hill they
saw, against the horizon, a break in the forest
Must be Uncle Johnny Ford’s field,” said the
Boy. Uncle Johnny lived only a mile from their
home.
They steered for it At last, coming out from
the trees, instead of seeing the rail fence at the
back of the neighbor’s field, they saw their own
front gate. They had walked around at least
ten miles on the way home, and carried a buck
which by that time weighed a ton!
They were tired enough to sleep as soon as
they hit the hay. Not even joy could keep them
awake until the morn, which was coming over
the pine tops in the east.

Commenting on what the Gazette said about
the failure of Georgia votens to ratify the con
stitutional amendment exempting shipping en
gaged in over-seas commerce from taxation, the
Greensboro Herald-Journal says;
The Herald-Journal agrees with the other pa
pers that Georgia has taken a.backward step
in not adopting the amendment. The state and
government should encourage overseas shipping
in home-owned boats whenever possible. Cot
ton went begging in 1914 for no other reason
than that there were no American owned ships
in which to ship the staple to foreign ports. A
shipping marine would he a god-send to this
country. But our people 'will continue to act
against their own interest In many ways.

by this time was coming around to a realization
|of things; “there ain’t no earthquake.” "What

ganizations in that state have written the of
ficials of Georgia cities telling of suffering
among negro families from illness and poverty.
If these conditions exist, the people of New
Jersey should remedy them. We did not send
the negroes up there. For fifty years the people
of that section have yearned toward the “poor,
oppressed negro,” with a great yearning. Now
they have the objects of their pity, let them

Just how Germany, by her peace proposals
