PRIZE FIGHT IN GEORGIA.
Two sluggers Go at 1t the Old Way Near
Georgetown.

Two Sluggers Go at 1t the Old Way Near
Georgetown.
EUFAULA, ALA, May IA match
with light gloves was fought to a finish
between Jack O'Keefe of Chicago and
Patsy Norton of Cincinnati, near this
place, on the Georgia side last night.
Tickets were sold at 81 each and could
only be obtained upon the presentation
of personal invitations, which had been
either mailed or handed to the parties.
The event was witnessed by the sporting
circles of this city, Georgetown and num-
bers of citizens from the surrounding
sections, and in addition to these num-
bers of sports and one or two well known
pugili8ts from distance were in attend
ance.
Both men entered the ring in fine trim.
but the odds were slightly in favor of
Norton.
The punching was heavy and pretty
evenly divided until the eighth round,
when Norton dealt his antagonist a
heavy left hand hook on the face, which
was followed with terrific right hand
swing that landed straight on the jaw.
OKeefe was dazed and failed to respond
to the call of time.

THE WHITE LABOR FAKE.

Mr.. e. l.. Fitzgerald, the labor
commissioner OF California, left for
home yesterday after a brief yieit to

fore his departure in soaring a few
planters into digging up the sack
which was the first and last object

The plantation owners who now
howl for white labor, believing that
their howl will help the reciprocity

big dividends and the cheapest
labor possible And they know that
it will be weary day for themselves
and their autocratic, tyrannical
managers when the deluded whites"
should realize their position and
call for retribution. The black

The whole business is of course
fake and we could easily pass by it
without comment, if it were not that
some few unfortunate white men
may be swindled and deceived in to
emigratiug to Hawaii under false
repres tations If the Eva planta-

them right here. There are numer-
Gus Portuguese and others willing

We are told by the Castle organ
that the order for fifty white men,
who are to be sent here within the
next three months by Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, is entirely independent of
the law which provides that planta-
tions shall take ten percent white
labor of the amount Of Asiatic con-
tract laborers introduced since Janu-
ary 1st, 1897. We believe it because
we feel confident that the Eva plan
tation did not for moment expect
to get any decent white man to
sign the proposed agreement. At
least not if the truth and only the
truth is told-to Mr.. Fitzgerald's
white unemployed
