CHARLOTTE DxUXY OBSERVER, NO VEilBER 1, 1 "j J. r LOXG WINDED PREACHERS. IEPJS' BIG CATCH ur AXDKEW J. hotixiju.., Kwrow strips of sandy twech .hegia rie.tr the mouth or the C&p rear river. North Carolina, and stretch northward to the fcorcer of .Virginia, e ncloalnj; sounds whoso peaceful wa ter are r mastic with; tho history and tradition of tho early settlement ' of tho country. These waters er to day, and hav always been, tho pars- - dlae of sportsmen; tor thero is no cad of jams to shoot and run to catch. Hare-and there are ciu houses,'lor those who wish to hare at one-time several days of sport;- and 'there are frequent hotels, whore tourists eath r In the summer to enjoy the languid j luxuries of climate and scenery. , ! , Near the southern end of this rib boa beach, there Is aa island ta the sound. It le lent and narrow, and has been : denuded of hnadreds of water . oaks which were the nesting homes of myriads of sea birds. The object of this was to aewsare a site for the erection of hot, which was notlt, and had owUead upon a career of large patron. age wbea it vanished away In fire and f r amoks. A aew growth or oaks is now . . appearing, but it wilt be a long time " before there Is a foliage as thick and . nigh as that which was taken away. . , Between the Island and the beach U a channel, along wtiich the water from the ocean sweeps as it comes through an inlet close y. A bridge spans the channel; and upon It may ' v be seen at any time or the year, and 1 '--at almost any hour or the day, thoae who seek tribute of game fish from the waters below. ; John Cathburg and Rupert Stenner v lately school boys, but now young r men of business, were spending three . r days on the island, to concentrate u. within that time the run of fishing Which naa theretofore oeen extend ,: i throughout the year. They were lodged in a small cabin, and had as aide-de-camp Robert, a younger brother of Cathburg, who served to keep alive the flame or hopeful enthu 1 eiasra when the fish slacked off bit f tng. , . A marked reversal of luck came on , ' the first morning, after an hour's good '. - run of sport. The biting ceased sud denly, and nothing could induce the . fish to begin again. , - . One of those sharks has come . again!" growled an old nronsed nsh- - erman, who was standing with the - boys on the bridge. Carefully winding tip his line, he continued. The chap - - ter is ended for this time. I could , catch as many fish in my wife's wash tub as I could here nntli he goes v away. The obstacle to the sport was cer .talnly 'an interesting one. The flah- . . erman explained that, for a week past, i a large school of fish had been ... warming the channel, and. at dif- ferent tiroes, one or more sharks had ; been seen lurking near them, doubt- t less feasting upon the aoundant prey. The result was disastrous to the flsh . i ermen with hook , and nne. "Wouldn't It be fine to catch a . shark r Robert asked the question: but It was one that welled up irresistibly ' within each of the other boys also. "Would it be possible 'to do it?" "Had a shark ever been caught by a hookT" These inquiries, and many others were made eagerly of the old . man, who posed aa the source of all knowledge on the subject. "Why, of course," he answered. "I ' . eeufht a five-footer no more'n two years ago, right off tnis bridge. He was a mean old rascal, but I had a nook that held him." , ,, "What about your line?" asked .Robert. "A rope " , '.: "Would have held about as well as a thread between the blades of a pair of scissors. I had a shark some time - ago to snap a chain in two, and so sailing out to sea with a part of it and my big hook in his jaws. I was too wise for the last o, tnough. When " J caught alght of him prowling about ' the bridge. I prepared for him with a t piece of large telegraph wire, to - which I fastened the hook. When he " swallowed the bait, he could not bite : the wire; it was too -small for his . teeth to grip. It held him for three hours, till I got him ashore." The boys listened in breathless in-1 terest, wondering at the marvelous hardness and power of a shark's teeth. There could be no finer prospect than V the capture of a shark. And little Robert was the one who accomplished this feat. The larger boys went poat-hasm cross the sound to provide the re , quired equipment, and the old flsh ' erman left also, leaving Robert in charge of the station. He returned to the cabin, and wan , tiered aimlessly from room to room, canning every nook and corner in the ' hope of finding some tackle for a hark. In the kitchen there were se era! shelves. Far back on one of i -, them, bis eyes fell upon a large fish r Ing hook: and he saw at once that he '- had discovered the first great Item in - the desired tacfcle. This awakened the fpringa of activity within him. What " If he could rig up a line and catch a shark daring the absence of the om- - er oorer I Be went out in search of wire. At the site of the destroyed hotel, there . was any quantity of it scattered over , the ground: and he found an excellent piece about forty feet long. He ran . back to the cabin, shivering with de ' light, and. with the aid of a hatchet. , bent an end of the wire about the hook, fastening it with the greatest security. T As to bait, Robert made a bold de cision. The larder of the camping ' 'Outfit Included a pound of fresh beef. ..-.This he appropriated, and carefully . placed about the big hook, which it concealed entirely, offering a tempting : morsel for a hungry shark. . . Robert now proceeded to the bridge, and dropped his metallic line hopefully ; Into the torater, fasten! n the upper end r' to one o the posts which supported a railing above the bridge. In a minute or two he could see through the clear water a swarm of . Ash about the line, eagerly partaking ct the on usual feast of fresh meat. This was not a pleasant prospect for : Robert, who could loos: for no other result7 than the entire demolition of his precious bait for a shark. He shook the una vigorously to frighten away the fish; but they were at toeir dinner again the Instant the Una be came still. TO what depth of sham would be appear before the two older boys when be should have ta confess tike taking of the meat and the big failure of, bin attempt to catch a shark! -'.--- lilt heart sank. But only for another s. :::ute." ----'.. ,-.-- . 1 :.rre was a sudden Hurry among i ' : crowding fish: a rippling, excited ..merit. Borne disturbing element 1 marie Its appearance.

He ' '9 wire. 'an. 1 darted hilher : so that it V; -rated like t " - : . f ex'h!;i- j cltement "Gee, I've got "Im!" bo gulped. For ten minutes he watched the .struggling shark, wmcn was maaiy tearing at the metallic line. Then he concluded that it was time for some arrresslve action On his part. If he wished to land his prise. After a short reflection, an idea came to him. He rbshed for the' bridge, and found a stout piece of wood a few feet lone. Hurrying back, by dint of hard work, he wrapped about It many turns of the wire between the post and the water; and forced the piece of wood back through th parallel strips which formed the railing. This held the line securely, and enabled him to unfasten the wire from the post and wind it. also, around the wooden stay, which he gradually moved in the di rection of the shore. Robert's progress .was fine. But there was another "post which ho could not pass with his holding de vice. He pondered the . ubject very carefully for a minute or two; and. deeming It th wisest course, he un wound the end of the wire and wrap per it about the post, and' gradually withdrew tne stay; ,tnus piecing me -line In the same position with regard to the second post as it had at first been with the other. Then he slow ly and laborouslr circled - the "wire acain around the stav. on the Shore ward side of the post When he had given it a sufficient number of turns for security, he loosened the end of the wire from the post an4 proceeded with his catch toward the lana. The shark was tnus forced into shallow water; aad he promptly made a fortunate lunge toward the shore. This marked the end of his career. He was now but half covered with water, and his huge tall struck help lessly about bim, uname to no more than splash a prodigious quantify or water for many yara around. To make sure or his prise, no Den secured the end of the wire to a tel egraph pole nearby; and then awaited the arrival of his companions in the full flush of his brilliant achievement THE ENEMY'S COCNTRV. What the South is to the Republican Party In This Campaign, and Why. Philadelphia Record. It Is announced that Mr. Taft and his campaign managers have given up their projected chase for presidential electors in the South. The humiliating result in Georgia, where what belong ed to the Republican party in the Fed eral officeholders effaced itself for an alliance with Hearst's band of Social ists, has admonished them that they could gain nothing In that region. While Mr. Taft would be most hospita bly entertained in the South, and would receive a respectful hearing, it is for bim an "enemy's country" so far as this political contest la con cerned. As the presidential candidate of the sectional party that is now men acing the South with the Crumpacker bill to cut down its epsesentatlon in Congress because its people are pro tecting their home governments from ignotant exercise of the suffrage, how could he expect to receive any of Its electoral votes?
