I tv is proapoetim' to the Koutli jof Cuuter’s lVnk, in tins IJlaek ' Hills, nnd at nooa oat down with my back to a great bowlder to have a bite to eat, Jt wan on the edge of a deep, dark ravine which hail a width of '2OO feet. The op posite bank of the ravine was much the highest, rising up from 25 to DO feet high, and ulong its face wns a trail. This perhaps had been made by deer and goat passing from their feeding grounds. Only about 50 feet of the ti ail, and that directly in front of mo was clear of brush and trees. I had my eyes on this open space when an Indian sud denly stepped into view from the east. At that date, every Indian in the community was hostile. This one was not in war paint, but I knew he’d shoot on sight. My first feeling was that of sur prise because he had not yet seen me. I soon satv, however, that he had his bead down and appar i ntly trailing something. Ho had )nissed almost out of sight to ♦■he west when lie suddenly drew up his rifle and fired. There was a shrill, savage scream, find as the Indian retreat ed a tawny mountain lion came into view. Just opposite me the Indian halted,while the lion crept up to within twenty feet of him and rested. I saw a bloody streak on the animal’s shoulder, and as he turned and licked at it his growls wore deep and me nancing. The redskin had|only a single barrelled ritlo, and ho made no attempt to reload. While the lion turned his head the Indian laid dow n his empty barrel and drew bis knife. He was a tall stalwart fellow and ho meant to light for his life. ‘‘Hist! hist! hist!” I did it to attract his attention, and the next instant ho was looking into my eyes, lie must of been a bit astonished, but he did not be tray the fact. His eyes blazed up, lie scowled in a malignant way, and 1 knew that 1m was cursing his luck iu being in such a lix. “Hist! hist! hist!” It was louder this time, so us to reach the ears of tlm liou us he licked at tlio blood. Ho started up with a savage growl, located me in a flush, and his eyes blazed and scintillated and almost burn ed. He glared at mo for twenty seconds and then turned to the Indian. “Not even a squaw would have gone out with only one bullet for her rifle!” I called to the red skin in the jargon we had picked up around the cumpflres. lie understood. I was sure of it, because 1m took his eyes from the beast for five seconds to flash me such a look of hate as only a fiend is capable of. Tim lion ; was enraged over his wound, and yet the tierce and ready attitude |of tlm Indian made him hesitate to attack, lie crept forward a few foot, growled, lashed his tail and then retreated a little. “You are hoping that ho won’t attack yon,” 1 shouted to thcred skin, “but I will make him.” 1 rose up and picked up a small j stone and threw it at the beast.] It struck just behind him. When ] two dogs are standinggrowliugat ( each other a missile striking near j them will cause a conflict. The lion leaped a distance of five feet 1 nnd sank down and growldd more ; fiercely than before and lashed his tail. “Yousee 1 have my rifle here,” 1 called to the Indian as I lifted my weapon up to view. “I could kill the beast aud save you, but I shall net do it.” He looked down on me again, and his face was so distorted with passion that 1 felt my flesh creep iu spots. What would he have given to have me bound fast to the stake, with no one to inter fere with his devilish ingenuity of torture! As 1 held his eyes for five seconds 1 read iu them forty years of intense hate for the men of mv race. “Ah! You are a coward!” 1 shouted to the liou as he turned his head aud looked back up the trail. “You have only a squaw iu front of you! Oue of your cubs I WALKER COUNTY MESSENGER JULY 28, 1802. a year old could claw him down. Why don’t you finish him before ho runs awin' to boast of his lira ■ very!” The beast switched his tail in a meuancing wav as he stared at I me, while tho Indian now s poke for the first time, saying; Before the night comes I will roast your heart at my fire and eat it.” “All! Then you think the lion is a coward and dare not attack you! Let us see. If I can hit him with this stone he will spring on you. Better throw away your knife and run for it. Squaw* are fleet of foot, are they not?” I held the missile in my hand, while talking to him. Both In diau uud beiyJ were looking j straight at me when I threw it. It struck tho lion fall in the side and with a rear and a rush he was upon the savage. The ; trail did not look to me to he over three feet wide. The Indian was borne backward by the weight of tho attack, but he was quickly on his knees, and I saw his knife flash as he kept stabbing. He did not shout, and the lion utter ed no other noise except qsort of sobboig. The tight seemed to last ten minutes, but I doubt if it lasted over three. On fair ground the Indian might have beaten the beast off or killed it. So, too, on more advantageous ground, the beast might have finished the In dian in a couple of minutes. Os a sudden as tho two were down on the path, they rolled over the brink. The Indian's knife was ; buried to tho hilt into the lion’s ! body,while tho brute had its teeth j faatenedin histhroat. They yan -1 ished from sight in an instant, j and as I stood looking over the | brink of that dark chasm it seem- I od a quarter of a minute before a dull crash came up through the gloom which had hung there for ag es to tell that they were lying dead down there on the rocky bottom.—M.

In some sections of our county j politics are all the talk. Some are j for the old parties, and some are • for the third party, as Arp says; “Because they want tho ’possum."

Rela tions between them have been somewhat strained of late owing to an evening’s discussion upon the thrilling topic of tariff reform, aud tho coolness has extended it self even to the children of the warring families. The other afternoon ouo of the boys clambered upon the fence which divided the rear yard and after discovering that the neigh bor lad was in sight and hearing, shouted with all his little might. “Hooray for Cleveland!” The boy in the next yard look ed up, hesitated and then sent back an answering shout, min gled with contempt: “Hooray for the devill” This was a poser. Tho little boy on the fence had no words iu which to express his feelings, and for a moment he thought about it vigorously. Then a great light came to him aud he flattened out his antagonist with the reply: “Allright,Johnnie. You holler for your side and I’ll holler for mine.” There has been a dovelike peace iu that back yard ever dues. F. I’.

A poor man can make his little money go further in the South than any other section of this country. A man of moderate means can find better opportunities in the South for engaging in business timu in any other part of the country. A manufacturer with limited cupital can iimt better sites, can buy his raw material cheaper and can make larger profits from his business in the South than else where in the United States. A man who can command large amounts of capital can find in the South opportunities for invest ments that will pay him larger returns than any other opportu nities that tho world can afford. The poor man must be imlus trious, tho man of moderate means must be careful, the manu facturer must be a master of his trade, and the capitalist must have good judgment and use it. —Manufacturers’ Record.
