JEFFRIES KEEPS CHAM
PION'S BELT.
Sharkey Puts Up Plucky Fight
but Loses at Last-Twenty five
Very Fierce Rounds.

Ringside, Coney Island Sport
ing Club, New York, Nov s.
James Jetfries retains the cham
plonship of the world. Referee
George Siler giving him the de-
cision at the end of the 25th
round, over Sailor Tom Sharkey,
at the Coney Island Sporting club
tonight. 1t was one of the most
marvellous battles that has taken
place, and the greatest crowd that
ever gathered in the Coney
Island club witnessed the desper-
ate struggle for supremacy.
In five rounds Jeffries had the
better of the fight, in the first
two and in the last three. Dur
ing the other twenty Sharkey
forced the issue, and like a bull
terrier was at his man with both
hands increasingly. In those 90
rounds Jeffries' great weight and
Drawn helped him to hold off tn
sailor, and in the 22d. round he
swung in a couple of vicious up
percuts that made Sharkey groggy.
Tom came back again in the oath
and 25th, but he was weakened d
greatly by Jeffries' vicious blows
Ono minute before the gong
sounded to end the fight Jeffries
left glove came of and practically y
the contest was over.
The referee motloned to JET
ries' corner; an American flas
was flung around the champion &
shoulders and the crowd, outside
and in the arena, cheered wildly.
The crowd on the opposite and in
Sharkey's corner yelled for Shar>
kew, and the men we're led back
to their dressing rooms.

suddenly assaulted Gates with a

widow, all small nut one.
1t happened in this way: 1t is
the habit of some of the students
at Winthrop College to go out
Sunday afternoons ard seek ops

the families of the poor. While
doing such work, one of the young
ladies, who graduated last year,
found this little boN and was much
impressed with his bright, manly
character. After her graduation
she secured position as teacher
IN q good school, and wrote me- to
try to 6nd the little boy, and
offer him for her the opportunity
to 60 to school. His mother.
hough she could poorly afford t.

China.

London, Nov A special dis
patch from Washington asserts
that the American State departs
ment recently asked France, Ger
many and Russia to give written
assurances regarding the preserva
tlon of the "open door" in China,
being dissatisfied with meroral as
surances and rejecting a proposal
that the United States should
seize = port and establish a sphere
of influence in China.
eff these assurances are de-
clined,' says the dispatch, "the
United States will insist upon
China observing the strict letter
OF the treaty giving the United
States equal rights with other
powers in China"
The Daily Chronicle, comment
ing editorial'y upon this new de
parture in American policy, which
will be fully approved in Eng
land," dilates upon its "immedi
ate Importance" and suggests
that it "may effect the interna-
tionsl politics of Europe in a very
remarkable degree.

for thirty years and in that time
has not had a local option election,
prohibition has never been an is

that "lf man was bitten by

drop of liquor in Union county to
save his life" The county lies
among the mountains of the Blue

on an air line from Atlanta, and
about twenty five miles from the

HASEDEN'S FINAL WORDS.
Denies that He Favored His
Cousins With Liquor Orders.
Special to Gleenville News.

Special to Gieenville News.
Columbia, Nov 4-Haselden in
his final reply shows and states
"J A Evans represented d Sachs
& Sons from Februry to June snd
resigned. Mr. Blue represented
Friedman, Keller & Co., from
January to July, when another
man appeared before the board as
their representative, Mr. Keller
stating to me that Blue did not
pay expenses. w Boyd Evans
appeared as agent of the Reids
vile Liquor company from July
to October and resigned. If they
had heen shown any unusual
favoritism by the board it would
seem strange that they would
voluntarily relinqulsh the oppor-
tunity of enormous profits which
it would be an easy matter to &C
quire from big share of the
monthly purchases made by the
board, which amounted to q
million each year.
"That they are not now, or
were not at the time Ouzts's state
ments were given to the press,
making any efforts for others
should be sufficient reply to the
contemplate insinuation he throws
out. j A Evans represented a
firm regularly doing business With
the dispensalv and which is still
being patronized. Although one
of my cousins represented them,
in the five months he served them
his entire orders amounted to
81, 959.22. Not one order was
given him by the board that was
not due to the fact that the prices
he quoted for the goods he repre-
sented were as cheap as those
quoted by other bouses. ..'.
"The next month, after he left
them they were directly represents
ed and submitted tho same samples
and prices and sold $2,371.6s,
nearly as much as Evans sold in
the entire five months. Evans's
relation did not secure fayoritism
very evidently. Now was QUITS

The foreigners are surrounded
by armed Beers and half subdued
savages, but are not allowed to
carry arms.
Fore igners must patronize tho
monopolies created by the Beers.
although these monopolies charge
exhorbltant prices for the necessa-
ries of life.
Foreigners are maltreated by
the police authorities and forced
to try their claims before partial
courts where the English language
Is forbidden.
The Transvaal answers these
points by saying these are domes-
tic affairs and England by treaty
pledged herself not to interfere.
In rebuttal, England answers by
saying the Beers agreed to open
tho Transvaal to white emisrants
and to protect them. She bases
her claim upon the high grounds
of the natural right of nations to
protect their subjects and asserts
that no nation can allow its citi-
zens to be robbed by a foreign
government or to be treated as
British subjects are treated in the
Transvaal.
England's position has been
largely misunderstood in America,
but in view of the above stated
facts we can't but think that her
claim is just.
America welcomes the subjects
of all civilized governments and
treats them with hospitality and
generosity-and the manner in
which the Transvaal treats its for
eign population is a doctrine as
hostile to the American people as
that of British oppression in 1915
or Spanish cruelty in Cuba. The
Beers may find people here who
admire the courage of the little re-
public but none who can heartily
sympathlze with their ungenerous
and uncivilized domestic policy.
England may not have the most
unselfish and the most admirable
motives in her manner Of colonial
aggression, but in this instance tn @
question of the rights of the in
dividual against a tyranical law is
uppermost, and there should be o
reason why this war should not
add to the respect our people feel
for the old country rather than
chill the good feeling now pre-
vailing between the two nations
that stand for freedom and indi-
vidual and national rights.-Green
