THE ET CETERA CHRONICLES - FOWL FIGHT

FOWL FIGHT - But, not all birds get along with each other.  P.M. Solomon was  visiting his friend T.J. Renfroe in Laurens County.  While sitting in the house, Solomon heard a commotion coming from the chicken yard.  The Cochran resident looked out the window and saw a hen and a hawk engaged in a fight to the death.   Solomon took the side of his friend's chicken in the fight and quickly ended the battle with a load of buck shot directed at the hawk.  Oblivious to the true reason for her opponent's withdrawal from the battle, the hen strutted and cackled like a victorious gamecock, although all but one of the other chickens survived the wrath of the Accipiter.  Marion Daily Star, February 19, 1885
