Employees Given Picnic.
Last Saturday the owners of the
Cotton Mills gave the op¬
and their families a picnic at
Mountain.
The party left here on the accom¬
train for an all day outing,
free transportation being furnishad
every one of the employees by the
of the mill. This fea¬
of giving the operatives a day’s
outing at the beginning of the sum¬
mer months, free of all cost to them,
has been the custom for a number of
ears, and each time Superintendent
Worsham endeavors to make them
more enjoyable.
BAIT FOR ALLIGATORS.
The Way a Mexican Indian Gathers In
the Ugly Beasts.
A Pinto Indian of eastern Tabasco
adopted a novel method of catching
alligators. The Indian’s weapons were
a harpoon, a stout club and a coil of
tarred lariats. For bait he used a
sucking pig, a box of something which
smelled offensively and several chunks
of half roasted meat.
Selecting an overhanging bough
about six yards from the water's edge,
the Indian stripped off Us leaves and
suspended from the fol k ih squealing
pig. That was the bait for the eyes
and ears of the alligator.
Opening the box, he used its offen¬
sive conteuts to grease a string, one
end of which he tied to a bush, and,
weighting the other with a piece of
wood, threw it into the river. That
was the nose bait.
Between the thicket and the water’s
edge was a long sand dam," capped
with a row of gnarled logs. Taking
the chunks of meat, he placed them
at equal intervals between the beach
and the ridge of the dam. “This is
my grub bait,” said the Indian. “It
will make him mount the barreea”
(barricade!.
Stimulating the pig with a kick that
caused it to squeal for the next ten
minutes, the Indian waited in ambush,
harpoon in hand. One end of a long
lariat was fastened to it and the other
to a tough elastic sapling. The sun
had set and it was growing dark when
a dark object was seen to rise slowly
from the water and sprawl up the dam.
The first chunk of roast bait was gob¬
bled.
“He’s smacking his chops!” chuckled
the Indian. “It's the same one eyed
old sinner that owes me two piga, but
he’s going to pay his debts.”
Gobbling the second chunk, the alli¬
gator crawled ou, swallowing the third,
and at the sight of the hanging pig
stopped and glared. Suddenly he
pushed forward and fell into a sandy
hollow behind the dam.
Instantly he turned and headed for
the dam. Up sprang the Pinto and
hurled the harpoon through his scaly
hide. “I got you this time!” he shout¬
ed.
Jerked back by the tension of the
lariat, the alligator made the leaves fly
with his switching tail and would have
snapped the rope if the elasticity of
the sapling had not broken the force
of his spring as he plunged forward
again and again.
Seizing the club and jumping around
the floundering prisoner, the Indian
dealt him a whack across the head that
laid him sprawling on his back. Three
more blows, and the alligator had paid
his debt.—New York World.
