Gccr;::’s Capital City Wins
New Distinction
(By B-rt Collier, in A.lar.ta Journal)
Wolves in Fulton county, gray tim
ber wolves that kill hoses and chick
ens end goats, and even, when hun
gry, attack cows and trail men!
One has *been killed at the River
convict camp of Fulton county, after
it and its mate had haunted the
camp for months and had killed sco
res of small animals. The wary
beasts, living almost unbelievably
close to civilization, in swamps along
the banks of the Chattahoochee,
made nightly raids on the county
barns and hen houses, and gave rise,
during the last few months, to sto
ries as weird as “The Hound of the
Baskervilles.”
It was last August when the wolves
were noticed first, but they were not
recognized as wolves. One of the
employees of the camp saw the pair
of grey animals while he was hunt
ing in the sw: mp miles from the
camp. He aid they were wolves, but
no one believed him.
When cold weather came some
thing began to visit the camp every
night. Torre bodies of chickens and
young pigs with their throats cut and
their tender flesh eaten away were
found every morning. Authorities
were puzzled.
One night, after a lot of commo
tion in the hen house, J. C. Dukes,
the assistant warden of the River
camp, found a bit of gray fur in a
steel trap sit for rats. He thought
the trap had snapped on a stray fox,
which had got away. More traps
were se* around the camp.
A few weeks later, while Mr.
Dukes was driving up the lonely road
to the convict camp, a wolf-like ani
mal ran across the road just in front
of his car, ir, plain view of the glare
of the headlights.
Trailed By a 'Wolf
The officer stopped the car and
jumped out, a gun in his hand. He
heard two animals pattering away in
the wet bushes.
Whatever they were, the animals
were getting bolder, and were glimp
sed frequently around the camp. A
few nights later a man living near
the camp ran into the office all out
of breath and said he had been trail
ed by a wolf. Everybody thought it
was a joke.
But it was noticed that the dogs at
the earvi would never chase the in
truder; nd that the stray glimpses
of the skulking forms at night re
vealed them ns distinctly wolf-like,
with huge heads and bushy fur and
tails.
A short while ago the wolves at
tacked a calf within an enclosure in
the comp and left the half-oaten
carcass lying on the ground. This
convinced the officials at the camp
that a wolf had been doing al! the
butchering work. They left the calf
lying where it was, and set heavy
hear traps around it.
At 7 o’clock that night Mr. Dukes
and his assistant, L. T. Palmer, heav
ily armed, went to inspect the traps.
Dukes had a ripeating shotgun with
three shells in the magazine. Palmer
had a pistol.
As they jumped over a little
stream that runs from the county’s
fishing pond just back of the camp
barns, they saw two shadows gath
ered around the cleaned bones of the
calf. Something exciting was going
on. Dukes could see that one of the
wolves, the smaller one, was caught
in the trap, and was leaping in the
air, snapping, snarling and biting fu
riously at the chain. Another wolf,
big and gray, was loose, baring his
teeth and snarling at the two men. In
the excitement of seeing a wolf in
the trap, the bigger wolf was not
noticed at first. The frenzied leap
inprs of tin trapped animal was pull
its leg loose from the trap, and
it was facing the two men, ready to
fight. Mr. Dukes fired three shots
(nto its back, and it collapsed, dead
Returned For Its Dead Mate
Then he turned on the bigger
vro ; f, while Mr. Palmer aimed at it
■with his pistol. The wolf was ad
vattC 'iR on them as if he knew that
all t ; shells in the magazine of the
shotgun had been exploded. Mr.
Dukes pointed the empty shotgun at
h;m. Suddenly the wolf turned and
ran.
The dead wolf was carried to the
camp ;>• be examined. If. was a she
"wolf, young and fat. It weighed
about fifty pounds. The body was
thrown on a rock, and the hunters
went into the house.
A few minutes later, looking out
of a window, a mar. saw the bigger
"wolf, looking for its dead mate. A
dozen men grabbed shotguns and ran
out into the yard. The wolf dashed
up on the back oorch of the convict
house, knocked over a big barrel and
disappeared on the other side. A
do-en shots wire fired, and it was
hi* ****** -sc, next tsening, hunting
paT • -• s able to follow its trail for
a mile or more by drops of blood.
This is the first time in nearly
thirty years that a wolf has been
seen in Fulton county, according to
a number of hunters. In the last
years of the nineteenth century a
hunting party came across the trail
of a black wolf on the banks of the
Chattahoochee river, and when they
caught up with the dogs they found
the wolf at bay, holding off fifteen
hounds.
Where the wolves came from is s
puzzle. Both of them are young,
and this, it is believed, seems to indi
cate that they were bred near their
present hunting grounds. In that
case, there are more wolves in the
swamps along the river bank. The
River convict camp is in a lonesome
place on the edge of a swamp close
to the banks of the Chattahoochee
No one lives for miles and miles.
Wild Stretch of Land
Years ago, before the War Be
tween the States, this territory was
used by freed slaves fot little farms.
After the war it was abandoned.
Since that time no one has lived in
it. The buildings of the county are
the only ones for a great distance.
This wild stretch of land would
make a happy hunting ground for
wolves. The live stock of the coun
ty farms attracts many kinds of ani
mals of prey, and many have been
killed near the camp.
Another theory of the origin of
the wolves is that certain northern
hunters who have beeg bringing foxes
here and releasing them to provide
for future hunts may have turned
loose the young pair of wolves.
The wolves, though small, are
more than a match for any dog of
the same weight. The mouth of the
dead wolf was full of teeth of knife
like keenness. In the front of the
mouth were the double tusks, one at
the top and bottom, with which a
wolf can hamstring a big enemy, or
rip the skin of a smaller adversary,
and which makes a wolf so danger
ous when he gets in a corner.
Wolf hunting parties are common
along the Chattahoochee river now,
for officials of the convict camp are
determined to stamp out the tribe
that has played such havoc with the
county’s property during the last few
months.
BARNUM NO GUIDE
Hi Method* Fine For Circu* But Not
For Local Merchants
Barnum used to run a circus—in
fact, he originated the “greatest show
, on earth.”
I His prize exhibit was Tom Thumb.
Barnum advertised his little friend
and the crowds came. Thousands of
people with cash money to spend
could not get into the tent, because
the people liked Tom and wore in
clined to stick around.
What to do? The “Exit” sign
wasn’t getting the people out fast
enough, so Barnum got busy and in
a few minutes “To the Egress” took
its place. Another freak! The new
copy produced a wild scramble, and
in no time at all the people inside
! the tent were on the outside at the
rear, while cash ticket holders rushed
in at the front.
i Barnum was a success because of
his genius for meeting situations and
his little scheme was all right for a
circus. It’s a Rood thing: to remem
ber that a circus moves on every
night, while the merchant sticks in
the old home town and serves day
after day the same people and Bar
num tricks don’t go with them.
All of us are “stun#” occasionally
if there is sufficient novelty in the
process, but we don’t intend to res
pond to encores.
The merchant is not running a cir
cus. His job is to Ret people into the
store, show' them every courtesy,
serve them well, win their confidence,
sell them Rood merchandise and
bring them back for more. Grabbing
their money without regard to the
quality of the product and pushing
them out is the surest way to fail.
Most of us succeed according to
our ability in meeting situations. We
have to make good or make way.
And the best way to make good is to
make friend:'—our enemies won’t do
business with us. So it is with mer
chants,
Barnum’s job was to got the peo
ple out. The merchant’s job is to
get people in.—-American Press.

Change of
Life
“When change of life began
on me,” says Mrs. Lewis
Lisher, of Lamar, Mo., “I
suffered so lyith womanly
weakness. I suffered a great
deal of pain in my back and
sides. My limbs would cramp.
I didn’t feel like doing my
work, and there are so many
steps for a woman to take on
a farm. I was very anxious
to get better. A friend rec
ommended
GARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
to me and I began using it.
I certainly improved. I went
through change of life with
out any trouble. I can highly
recommend Cardui.”
At the age of about 40 to
60 every woman has to pass
through a critical time, which
is called the Change of Life.
At this time, great changes
take place in her system,
causing various painful and
disagreeable symptoms.
If you are approaching this
period, or are already suffer
ing from any of*its troubles
or symptoms, take Cardui. It
should help you, as it has
helped others.
