FALL FIGHTS.
They Are Now open-Walk UP and Take
One.

The fall fights opened up Saturday
night, but no damage of any great
extent was the result. Several little
brawls were reported here in the city,
whisky being at the bottom OF all OF
them. One, however, of a more Sc
rious nature took place in South
GAINESVILLE. This WAS between Geo.
Sheppard aud Mack Hodge. They
were both drunk and became in.
volved in quarrel. Sheppard drew
knife and stabbed Hodge in the
breast, the blade coming in contact
with the breastbone, where it stop
ped. But for this fortunate accident
Hodge would have been badly hurt.
Neither of them had been arrested
this morning.

General Boyd said this morning to

work for Mr.. Savage's election, and
that he will win. Boyd, however,
will support no other nominee of the
Democratic party.

In 1882 many Il town III the south and
west was guarded most efficiently, and
in 1919 it was so common as to be a rec
ognized custom. In that part of the
south near the Mississippi the people
often erected temporary booths or open
sheds in the woods. Any traveller seized
by any sickness having the slightest re-
semblance to cholera had to 90 to one of
these booths. He received medical at
tention and fairly good care, and after
his recovery or death the booth and all
his bedding was burned.
During the last yellow fever vista
ton in that section the practice was re-
duced to a system, and so it was in
Florida. The traveller on approaching
u village was often confronted by a
pleasant spoken gentleman with a gun,
and unless he could show u clean bill OF
health aud that he did not come from
an infected town he had TO make n
wide detour to get around the town.

Of Cartwright, and like him was con-
verified in boyhood and preached all the
rest of his life, but outlived the other
several years. Partly contemporary
with them, but attaining prominence
after them, was AaronWood, d. D., who
was licensed to exhort at eighteen and
served in the regular ministry ffty-five

often was. had not followed up the pio-

adjacent states; if he had not reused
their hopes and fears with his rude elo-

would have been widespread moral
chaos. 1t did not lack much of it Us j;

graves and their sort had not believed

ward Beecher was born at Easthamp-
ton, Long Island. Aug. 81, 1903. The
famous family included in its members
a father and six sons, who entered the
ministry. one of them becoming the
most famous pulpit orator in the land;
and four daughters, II of whom wrote
IL world famous book, and another of
whom was widely known as an edu-
Gator. DR.. Beecher was the second son
and third child of his father, and after
an active life as teacher, pastor, college
president. author and editor for more
than half IA century he is still in fair
health and vigor, taking a lively interest
in all the affairs of the country.
He entered Yale college at fifteen and
was graduated in 1922, then went to
AndOver Theological seminary, and
after some years of teaching, writing
and preaching was elected first presi-
dent of the college at jacksonville, Ills.
and located there in 1880. He had mar
ried two years before, and his wife, four
years Younger than he, went with him
to what was then the remote west, near
the banks of the Mississippi. Only
twenty-seven years old, President
Beecher took mp the work of starting a
great educational institution. He re-
manned its president for twelve years,
and in that period siXty-two students
We're graduated.
While in jacksonville the Alton riots
and death OF LOvejoy occurred, and Dr.
Beecher wrote a spirited account of the
affair. He was threatened with punish.
ment as an abolitionist, but never
finched. He went next to Boston and
preached till 1850. producing in that
time some much discussed books. He
then took the p%astorate Of a Congrega.
tional church in Galesburg, Ills, and re
manned till his SEVENTEEN year, when he
retired and located III Brooklyn. AT the
age of eighty-siX he had a leg crushed
by Il street car so that amputdtion was
necessary; ne bore it heroically and
made a good recovery. In his work or
Eternal Punishment he declares
against belief in it, and in his "Con
fict of Ages there is a fanciful, almost
fantastic, theory about this world being
a sort of hospital for the correction OF
cure of souls. and that we all survived
in Il previous state. As he knows a,
much about the last world and the mex
world as any other man, his specula
tons are quite entertaining.
