superintendent of Public Works w. F.
Chaplin is preparing to bring nearly all
of the county convicts together on the
Buckhalter canal. which is to be one of

that point to within two miles of the city
will be taken up without delay.
Chairman Dale of the county commits
sioners has been making an inspection of
the work at the poor farm. He says that
there was some delay this year in getting
the crop started, but he says that since
the recent rains everything is looking
more encouraging at the farm.
The work of the convicts has been push
ed forward as briskly as possible lately.
and the Isle of Hope work has been salts
factorily done. Barracks are now being
constructed for the convicts, which will
be taken to Buckhalter, for their shelter

VIII Meet Any SwOrdsman at Thun-
derbOIt Next Week.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the Ross-Barber military contests, to be
held at Thunderbolt Driving park next
Sunday. Lieut.. Barber, formerly of the
British army mounted Life Guards, will
give an exhibition of sword exercise
against an opponent armed with a gun
and bayonet, dismounted.
It is an admitted fact that the gun and
bayonet in slSillful hands is more than a
match for the cavalry man armed with
a sword only. This exhibition of arms
will afford a good opportunity to see q
thrilling display.
Two weeks ago at the National Sol
diers' home, at Hampton, Va, at a mil
itary tournament given there by Capt
Ross and his cOnferee, Lieut.. Barber, the
latter had a narrow escape from a serious
accident, the bayonet plunging through
the steel armor causing a wound upon the
breast, which might have had more seri-
Gus consequences.
Lieut.. Barber served eighteen years. He
has been an all-round athlete for twenty
six years AS a sword and gun and bay
onet expert he carried off first prize at
the royal agricultural hall tournament, in
London, three years in succession, being
presented with prizes four times by mem
bers of the royal family. He won first
prize in every event at the Worlds Fair
tournament In Chicago IN 1893 He de-
feated Morgans, champion OF Canada, at
Ottowa, In August, 1898, and made a tie
with Harold St. John. the professional
champion fencer of America. at Syracuse
I'm 1894, for the all-round championship.
Lieut.. Barber will meet any swordsman
in a combat at Thunderbolt.
