THE BIG EIGHT OEI,

| After great many of the able-bodfed
and Sporty inhabitants of this coun.
try have been loft" for several weeks
on account of the big prize-fght that
was to take place the fight itself has
| been declared off," How much this
result is due to the way the fighters
and their aiders and abettors have been
| pursued by the law. and how much to
the thickness of one or both of the
fighters is hard to tell. But it is a
good thing that there is to be no fight
and 1t is a great gain for law and order.
The pugilists and their gang have been
well hunted and they have not found
it very agreeable. 1t has been shock
to their pride and a bar to their plans.
If they thought they We're great men
when they started into this affair they
have either changed their minds or con-
cluded that greatness is not appreciated
as it ought to be.
If this collapse of a great pugilistic
scheme means that this country has
seen the last of such schemes there is
cause for general rejoicing. All the
authorities who have taken part in
foiling the fighters, and especially Gov.
ernor Culberson of Texas, are entitled
to the gratitude of all good citizens, 4
1t is high time that brutal pugilists
ceased to be greater men than gov
ernors Of States. and it is high time
that brutal pugilism ceased to have

Deeh Well paid for any trouble we might
rave taken TO attend the convention.
IL is an easy matter for an outsider
TO critioise and hold up TO ridicule a

est, and with the spirit Of which he is
not In touch, and perhaps such a one
mas little idea of how helpful such crit
lolsm may be- We are in need not Of
the criticism which would make us feel
that the conventions Is, yducatlonally,
worthless; but of that while pointing
out to us its faults and the need of rec
Trying them, shall also point out that
such a meeting has something for us all,
that upon each one Of us devolves the
duty of adding all we can to the inter-
est Of the occasioni and above all, which
shall stimulate US to attend the meet
ings not in spirit of ridicule and in
difference, but III the spirit of men and
women who feet that they are engaged
IN noble profession, and are determin-
ed to make the convention, not only in
telectually entertaining, but instruc-
tive, In this way only can the esprit de
corps be strengthened, and the work
Of the convention increased and better
ed,
1t win perhaps be pertinent here to
ask the editors of the Register, if they
will kindly read the report of Mr.. Ken
dall's speech as given in their columns
Friday night, and then ask themselves
If they have any right to criticise other
reports of the same speech. 1t would
be we'll for those who are going to re-
port and comment upon meeting,
into which has been put so much earn
est, thoughtful work, to be able at
least to give an accurate account of
what is said, even if they are unable to
catch anything OF the real spirit which
animates the speakers and listeners.

The Journal and Courier has a ''spe.
cial correspondent at Atlanta, and the
Register has a staff correspondent
there. We don't know exactly what a
staff correspondent Is, but it must he
something military and magnificent, or
/ the Register wouldn't have it, The
journal and Courier's special correspon-
dent and the Registers staff correspon-
dent have been sending to their papers
graphic and interesting accounts of
what has been going on since the glo-
rious Foot Guards of New Haven reach

Tiers special correspondent appears to
be in the fun to such an extent as to
excite the envy or jealousy Of the Reg
listers chief-of-staff or commander-in-
chief, or whatever they call the con-
troller of the Register who sends forth
staff correspondents This chief-of-
staff, or commander-in-chief, makes a
sour little smoker because the special
correspondent of the journal and Co,1r-
Ter indicates, by saying 1--WE" several
times in the course of his dispatch, how
thoroughly he has entered into the spir-
1t of the occasion and how his manly
heart has swelled with local and State
pride since he has become a representa-
tive of New Haven and of Connecticut
in the South. He feels that the biggest

thing in the South to him is that part
of New Haven and Connecticut which

to see the Register sourly snickering 4

Ihe Waterman. of Boston, says the
motion that Sunday laws are of Puri-

point rather than accurate historica,

and the Cavaliers from the court of

statute passed by the Cavaliers Of vir-
sinia provided that he who did NOT at
tend church on Sunday should paw "a
a1ne of two pounds of tobacco. This
was the first law ever enacted in the
United States, and was passed in 1917
three years before the Pilgrims landed

4 POLITICAL SENSATION.

Tuesday morning, news reached lhe
city that Pine Valley, seven miles
south of this place, had the night pre-
vious, been the scene OF one OF the most
highly sensational performances. ever
enacted upon the political stage OF a.
obusha county. Those who played the
role of heavy tragedians were named
as Mr.. Earl Brewer, Capt. |. u. Blount
and Mr.. w. V. Moore. all candidates
for the office of State Senator from TINS
the 2Sth Senatorial District. These
gentlemen are all too we'll known and
are too highly esteemed by our people
to have even the suspicion OF wrong
doing cast upon them, so evefypooy
waited patiently in the hope Of hearing
a full explanation. About lo CLOCK
the news began to come in thlck ana
fast to the affect that W. v. Moore
and Capt. Blount had bought Mr..
Rrewer's interest in the Senatorial race
for 5000 and that the money bad actually
heen paid over, and that Mr.. Brewer
had stepped.from the stage OF political
action to the quietude of common NOR
tails. This, however, was not exactly
true, DuG luFcoVlS u"ioh p'"'
this was really the program that 'he
actors referred to above had mapped
out. The Herald will here give the
facts las related by eye-witnesses ana as
we do not care TO do an injustice TO
either gentlemen, we withhold all COM
ment.
The following is as related by friends
of ali the gentlemen named: A large
crowd ~ met several candidates at Pine
Valley by appointment to listen to the
discussion Of important political issues.
Ali seemed in good spirits, and cach
sneaker received a liberal share OF ap..
nIause. Mr.. Brewer was the first OF
the Senatorial candidates to speak, and
during the course of his remarks he
exnlained that he sought the office OF
Senator for the salary attached to IT,
IA was followed by Capt. Blount in
a short talk, and Capt. Blount was fol'
lowed by Hon. Vernon Moore. After
Mr.. Moore had spoken for about fifteen
minutes. he took occasion to say tha,
he aid not want the office for the mon
etarv consideration; that it did not
amount to hardly enough to defray the
expenses of the canvass; that he wantee
the honor. At this juncture Mr.
