Yesterday Scott E. Whine, representing

PROMINENT PROHIBITIONIsT
Death of Leander ChiIds, a Well
Known south CarOIinian.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 12.-South Car
DINA prohibitionists, who have gained
much strength recently, lost perhaps their
strongest advocate, Columbia one of her
wealthiest citizens, and Carolina farmers
a progressive brother, when Leander
Chllds A years old, died suddenly at Sa-
luda, N. c., tonight.
In 1885, Capt. Childs headed the Rich
fand delegation to the House of Represen-
tatives, and was repeatedly reelected. He
was one of the leaders in that body, and
has made a continued fight for prohibition.
AN influential Methodist, he canVassed the
state and caused a revival of church OPP
position TO liquor selling. He refused to
accept the prohibition nomination for
Governor last year.
Capt. Childs was the largest planter in
this section, making a specially of hay.
He first demonstrated that South Caro-
lima hay was equal TO any, and supplied
thousands of tons to the market. He was
vice president of the Carolina National
Bank, a gentleman of large fortune, large
heart, and beloved by many.

up, but they were Intellectual.
McGOVern, after he delivered the final
blow turned his back on his opponent
and waved his hands to his seconds as
much as TO say: 1T is all over" The
referee bent over Palmer and counted the
seconds slowly and distinctly and when
he uttered the word ten Palmer's seconds
jumped into the ring and carried the de-
feated pugilist to his corner
Meanwhile McGovern S friends cheered
long and loud. Some of them gained ad-
mission to the ring and presented to the
victor a floral horseshoe, which was soon
made a wreck as admirers insisted on get
ting flowers OF leaves from IL as souvenirs.

nounced McGovern the winner John l..
Sullivan climbed through the ropes and
calling McGovern by name, told him to
shake hands with Palmer, who was now
reganing his senses. McGovern shook his
victim warmly by the hand and then
turned and left the ring WITH his seconds.
He was almost carried to his dressing
room.
Meanwhile Palmer revived sufficiently to
walk from the ring to his dressing room
in the other corner of the building.
Surprised at Its Brevity.
Palmer had no excuse to make. and said
he had nothing TO say in reference to the
bout, only that he was surprised at the
brevity of the mill and claimed that Nc
Govern held him with one hand while he
punched him with The other. This was
an erroneous impression. because any
holding that was done during the round
was done by Palmer as McGoveTn'S arm
was never at rest for a moment.
There was not a mark on any part of
McGovern's body. When asked what he
thought of the bout, he said:
I
much quicker than l expected 1 thought
it would certainly go at least ten rounds
and maybe seventeen, but had no doubt
as to the result. l never felt Palmer hit
me and | am sure he was unable to touch
me with any effect. 1 am now ready to
