THE MyER-cARRoLL FIGHT.
Myer Nno, KS Out His Man in the Forty
Third Round.


Third Round.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 23.-The Olympic
club was crowded with sports from all
parts of the country last night to see the
fight between Myer the "Streator Cy-
Clone" and Carroll The fight was well
contested in the main, Myer winning in
the forty-third round by knockout blow.
For the first few rounds both men were
cautious, each apparently trying to dis
cover the others tactics. Myer did most
of the leading, and, in fact, almost killed
his chances by rushing himself out of
breath. Carroll exhibited clever lodging
tactics, but was unable to escape Myers
left in the fourteenth, and was knocked to
his knees.
Twenty Hounds with Honors Even.
Neither man had much advantage up to
the twenty-first round, though both had
taken considerable punishment Myers
youth and fine condition began to tell in
his favor, and in spite of the fact that he
had been doing most of the leading he
showed up the fresher of the pair. After
this Myer had it mostly his own way and
did most of the work. He knocked Carroll
down frequently. In the forty-third the
little cyclone found the opening he had
been looking for, and with n swinging
right handler landed squarely on Carroll's
jaw. Jimmy went down like log and re-
manned unconscious for several minutes in
spite of the efforts of his seconds to revive
him

Lying About the Russian Famine.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 26.-It appears
that the car has been grossly deceived
as to the actual facts of the famine. The
governors Of provinces in which the situa-
ton is worst were told by high officials
that they must not present the case to the
car in as broad n light as the facts justi-
fed. Acting OH these directions the rulers
of the famine-stricken provinces have lied
with great unanmity as to the reality of
the restitution, which in fact is as bad as
1t can possibly be.

IT WILL SOON BE TOO LATE,

1t will soon be too late to make
up your mind how you will vote.
And 1t will soon be too late for the
farmers to decide whether or not
they will plant wheat this fall.
The DEMOCRAT has for years In
sisted that farmers ought to make
their home supplies, from the least
to the greatest, if possible. Flour
is very important part OF home
consumption; and if the farmers
will plant wheat and pay the same
attention to the preparation of the
land that they pay to cotton land
and peanut land. they will not make
a failure III raising wheat any of
tener than they do in raising cotton
and peanuts, and the like.
If wheat is raised in quantities
sufficient to Justify it, there will be
mills to make the flour.
We are ali now mostly engaged
In political questions, and think
more on these lines than any others;
but THE DEMOCRAT is so confident
of democratic victory, that we
spare this much space for wheat
Plant wheat, farmers, and thus
add to your home independence.

Nathan Smith and Columbus Baker,
and J. A. w hlte, Third party candl-
date for the Legislature, spoke. The
colored speakers urged all the color
ed people to support the THIRD
party ticket in the county as en-
dorsed oy the republicans.
White spoke briefly, asking the
colored people for their votes and
calling upon his "colored lady
friends to see that their husbands
vote.
All the same the colored people
are not gong to vote just like the
convention SAID, nor are they going
to give White the support he an
ticipated when he said he "felt like
he was almost IN the Legislature
now"
The colored vote has always beer
