Baptist state Mission work

Kew. H. +. Sproles, Of Vicks-
burg. for many years the beloved
pastor Of the Baptist church at this
place, was IN the city Wednesday
attending the funeral Of the late
Mrs. Thomas I. Persons, return
ing home on the west bound train.
DR.. Sproles is president of the
convention board of the Baptist
church of Mississippi, and in con
versation with a Clarion Ledger
reporter, he expressed the opinion
that the meeting of the board,
which convenes in this city early
next month, should appropriate
fully $15, 200 for state mission
work. Last year the church spent
about $40, 900 on for state mission
work. The mission work extends
over the entire state, but the
church this year will center its Of
torts in the Delta and Southern
part of the state.
The Mississippi Baptists have
four" lines of church work. foa-
eign missions, Southern missions,
state missions and educational
work, the major portion of the
latter fund going to Mississippi
college DR.. Sproles was asked
concerning the movement to en-
dow Mississippi college, and he
stated that the matter is one for
the board of trustees to take care
of, and he has NO doubt but what
it will finally be done. All money
appropriated by the church to the
college in excess of expenses goes
to the endowment. jackson Clar-

Local Politics,

Richard Ryan, the dark horse can
didate for prosecuting attorney, fol-
lowing in the footsteps of Sergeant
Jansen, is now about to issue his first
series of circulars, which he expects
will give him some prestige among the
Republican voters of Ohio county. He
also condemns the action of the COM
mittee by adopting the open ballot. or
as it is called, the Australian ballot in
a modified form. He is opposed to the
ring, and like Jansen, asks no favors
from the bosses. He is a f~iatfooted
Republican, but goes on to say that
he will support the Republican ticket,
right or wrong, providing the commit
tee adopts the Australian ballot as a
whole without modification; but that
he was a close searcher, should he dis
i've the ring practicing fraud at the
primaries. He promises the public
that he will not go to the polls and
vote for himself, nor does he ask any
other man to waste his time at what
he calls a shell game. He afirms
what Jansen says in his second series
of circulars, that there are less than
a dozen corrupt politicians, who call
themselves the Republican party, but
who plumber the taxpayers at will and
now control the political machine in
Ohio county, which they call the Re-
publican party. He suggests that jan
sen, Schuck, Nesbitt and Arbenx get
out Of his way, for he will stop at
|pothing, but so right N THROUGH to
victory.

If the price of days labor would ah-
vance accordingly, but while wages are
at starvation prices and rents at a
millionaire price, the people are going
to steer clear of the place. There will
be plenty of moving about the first OF
the month on account of higher rent,
and a number of country people, who
contemplated moving to town, have
now concluded to stay on the farm.
The town will never prosper as long
as such ~'fogies'' hold on to the real
estate. If they want to benefit the
town the best way would be to give
| cheap rent, end accommodations, and
have the town to grow in population
and when the wage-earner receives q
fair price for his labor it would be
, time to bring the rent up. Unless the
property owners ask a fair rent there
will not be such a great boom as was
anticipated.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 27.-Capt.
Harry Swaney will appeal from the de-
cislon OF Major S. r. Crumbaugh to
Gen. James A. Dumont, supervising
inspector general of steam vessels at
Washington, D. C. Capt. Swaney was
twice exonerated by the local steam
GOAT inspectors for the sinking of the
toWboat Pacific, and Capt. D. A. Wood
ward was as many times held respons-
i5le for the accident, but the verdict
OF the local steamboat inspectors vas
set aside and Woodward reinstated,
while Swaney was suspended for sixty
days by Major Crumbaugh.
Capt. Swaney this morning would
not discuss the case for publication,
pending an appeal. Gen. Dumont will
have the last say and whatever his
decision is will be final. Most steam
boatmen spoken to at Pittsburg in
reference to the decision of Major
Crumbaugh not pleased with it,
they thinking it unjust. The matter
was the chief topic of conversation
to-day among idle rivermen. River
men say that heretofore where there
has been a doubt as to who is espon
ibie for accidents, it has been custom
airy to suspend the license OF both
licensed men. The local steamboat in
spectors still refuse to discuss the case.

GARDNER NGOVERN FIGHT.
OSCARS FRIENDS
OVER THE ARRANGEMENTS
FOR A MEETING
BETWEEN THE CLEVER BOXERS.
Macon Expresses nm opinion ABOUT
McGovern's FOuling IN the FIRST
Round-Arrangements for the base
Ball Season-Bowltng News ana
NOtes-Other Sporting Matters.

Those-and there are many OF them
who contend that Oscar Gardner, was
unfairly treated by Referee White, in
his fight with Terry McGovern. will
have the opportunity of witnessing
another bout between the two little fell
lows, which should forever settle the
question of supremacy. Friends of
the Omaha Kid" in this city make no
effort to disguise their pleasure over
the fact that arrangements have been
made for a meeting in Louisville. On
the question of McGovern's alleged
foul, Macon, the well known sport
writer says:
to tackle Terry McGovern again later
on in the season at 118 pounds, to
weigh in at 8 o'clock on the after
noon of the day of the battle. This
means probably 122 pounds at the
ringside. In announcing this match
Gardner very strongly criticises john
ny White for not ruling against Nc
Govern when Terry fouled him in the
first round of their recent contest.
He tells only the truth when he as
serts that McGovern palpably fouled
him by catching him by the ankle and
compelling him to hop around on the
other foot to preserve his balance.
McGovern lost the fight the instant he
thus took hold of Gardner. and had
the rules of the Marquis of Queensbury
been strictly enforced the decision
would have been awarded to the Oma-
ha Kid instantly. But l don't think
that Whites conduct was due to any
desire to be unfair to either man. The
flooring of McGovern was a tremen-
dous surprise to every n in the arena
and probably to no one more SO than
Gardner himself. McGovern was daz-
ed for a moment and probably hardly
knew what he was doing when he
caught hold of Gardner, but that is
no excuse for his conduct.
A good many contend that if Terry
had not caught Gardner as he did, and
so unbalanced him, Oscar would have
knocked him out the instant he arose
to his feet. This may be SO, and yet
there are many who do not believe 1t.
He only held on to Gardner while one
could count five or six. If, instead of
catching hold of Gardeners leg he had
stayed down and taken nine of his
count he would in all probability
have recovered from the dazing effect
of the blow fully as much as he did
otherwise. However, there is no way
of determining this thing, but the
subsequent portion of the contest
showed in the most conclusive man
ner that, barring accident or a lucky
blow, Gardner has but one chance
In ten of successfully competing with
the present featherweight champion.
He is utterly incapable of keeping Nc
Govern away from him, and the in
slant they get close together Terry in
fiicts such terrible body punishment
on him that it is painful to witness it.
In all my ring experience l never saw
a man so completely at another's
mercy as Gardner was at McGovern's.
Half the time he was running away
from him like a mouse from a cat, and
all the time he was crying and below
ing with rage of disappointment and
the pain of physical punishment.
