A Day With a Bee Liner on a Hunt for Wild Honey
Old Hamp guides a small party through a patient bee hunt in a woodland clearing. They box a worker bee, track its trail to a hollow maple, and harvest about 75 pounds of wild honey with simple gear and careful steps. Hamp estimates previous hauls as high as 160 pounds. The tale blends humor, botany, and frontier woodcraft with casual dialogue and vivid nature scenes.

Career of Judge Festols Earle as South Carolina senator candidate
Joseph H Earle, a lifelong Democrat and potential successor to J J M Irby as U S senator from South Carolina, has long been a central figure in Palmetto State politics.
