The PugiIists.

During the week there has been much
said about a battle between Jack Burke and
Jack Dempsey, but as far as am able to
learn there is'little chance of these two per-
sons coming together. The Ormonde Club,
London. England, has offered about a, 900
Tor a contest between Burke and Dempsey,
and it is likely that an offer OF that kind
will not be inducement enough for the
American to cross the Atlantic. I would
indeed be surprised if Dempsey were to go
to England for any such offer and under
any such conditions. But what is more i'm
portant L would deem Dempsey very iool-
ish man to go to England and fight Burke,
except at q stated weight. John Burke is
very wise person in his day and generation.
He Is not looking for hard nuts to crack in
the way fighting men of his own particu-
lar weight The other day Dave Campbell
EXPRESSED the opinion that Burke could not
fight much below ITO pounds, and Campbell
has faced Burke ere now. l saw Burke not
long ago, aud he looked very big man, and
apparently would need lots Of work 10 get
much below no pounds. Well, suppose
Burke was to he five or six pounds below
the weight named, he would be much bigger
than Dempsey, providing the latter was IN
his best condition. And this difference of
weight would tell strong in a fight toa finish.
Nobody knows this better than Burke, and
beyond sll Burke knows that be is going
out OF his class when be challenges Demp-
sey. Were there two men TO fight at iegiti-
mate middle weight / would prefer Demp-
sey's chances, because / hold him to be one
Of the cleverest boxers of modern times; or
were they going TO box four or six rounds at
catch weight ! think would be induced TO
think that Dempsey would win. OF course,

While Judge Query is enjoy
ing the breezes at Cumberland Iss

working themselves into a furry
because of the judges supposed cam
didacy for cons ress.
Before leaving for Cumberland
last Saturday, with his family, the
News interviewed him as to his
position in the Congressional race.
He said:
"My position is this: | will
accept the nomination If it is
rendered me by the democratic con
| vention, and appreciate most pro-
foundly the honor of being chosen
the democratic standard bearer.
| am in no sense of the word can
didete fel the position, and will

matter in the hands of my friends
and those who think | could prop
erly represent them in congress.
Occupying my present position of
Superior Court Judge, | could not
stump the district, even if | had
time to do so.
This means that Judge Query
will notmake canvass for the nomi-
nation. He will not go out on the
hustings and discuss the Issues in
volved in the campoign. He is
very popular throughout the dis
trict and were he to meet the peo,
pie face to face there would he no

THE corroS cROP.

The condition of the cotton
crop in ali the cotton growing
states is exceptionally favorable, ac.
cording to the latest reports. The
plants are reported to be well ad-
vanced for this period of the sea-
son. There is a difference of
opinion, however, as TO the pre-
diction that the crop will be earli-
er than usual. The better opln-
ion is, however, that with iavor>
bic weather it will be earlier. The
plants in nearly the whole cotton
belt are in tolerabIy healthy and
vigorous state, and the outlook for
large crop is most encouraging.

A GrasshOpper Plague.

Green grasshoppers are playing
havoc in Floyd county, and the
farmers are much alarmed. If re-
port may be trusted, these pests
are the most v0Iacious destroy ers
that have yet threatened the crops
in this part of the country. They
don't stop at devouring the corn,
but clean up the whole field. grass,
weeds and all. So far their work
appears to have been confined to a
narrow territory in the neighbor>
hood of Rome, but they increase
and spread with great rapidity.
The hopper is described as being
medium in size, of a vivid green,
and without anything resembling
wings. However, though he can't
fly, he can hop at an alarming rate
and manages to get there just the
same.

CONVENTION or NEGROES,

There will be a convention OF
negroes held in Atlanta on the 23d
of this month at which movement
will be started among the Southern
blacks to cut loose from the he
publican party and to occupy an
independent position in politics.
The leaders of the movement, it
appears, are disgruntled on ac-
count OF the treatment of the ne
groes by the present administra-
ton. They say that during the
last presidential campaign their
race, North and South, was prom>
ised recognition in the shape of
office il they would vote to restore
the Republican party to power,
but despite the support of the ne
groes none of the promises have
been kept. We ARE not inclined to
take any stock in the sincerity of
the negroes who are at the head of
the proposed convention, and there
is reason to believe that their game
is TO brighten the administration
into giving them an Office. There
are hundreds of negroes in the
South who are cutting themselves
loose from the Republican party,
but they do not find it necesss ry to
hold convention to perform the
operation,
