MCCOY WINS FIGHT.
THE KID GETS DECISION OVER
SYRACUSE TOMMY" RYAN.
But Referee Hogan's Announcement
Causes an Uproar and More Fight
ing Is Narrowly Averted.

Chicago, May 30.-Kid Mccoy was
given the decision over Syracuse
Tommy" Ryan last night at the end
of the prettiest six round fights ever
seen here. But over the decision and
what Referee Malachy Hogan claims
was a misrepresentation free-for-all
fight resulted and but for the presence
of a large force of police who hustled
the men out of the ring and cleared
the hall, it is probable the Mccoy
Ryan fight would not have been the
most interesting thing on the program.
One agreement was that a draw
should be declared were both men on
their feet at the end of the sixth
round. Referee Hogan said after the
contest he had no such understanding
and rendered decision as he thought
just. AS the bell rang at the end of
the sixth round, Ryan was bleeding
from ear and nose from the Kids
fierce left jabs, but comparatively
fresh, started toward his corner.
Mccoy WINS" shouted Referee Hogan.
monium. what do you mean?" said
Ryan, in amazement. Hogan said
nothing but climbed through the ropes.
''You are robber," shouted Ryan.
Hogan turned around and Ryan swung
his left to Hogan's face. Hogan re-
turned the compliment with blow on
Tommy nose, but before further action
the police were between them. The.
Tattersalls' management admitted af-
ter the fight that the draw agreement
was correct but said Hogan's decision
would stand. So far as the fight was
concerned, Mccoy had the better of it,
his lightning jabs starting Tommy
bleeding early in the fight. Ryan
shook the kid up badly, however, a
number of times with right and left
hooks to the stomach and jaw.

Kissed Mr.. Bryan's name, and inspired
by this pleasant encouragement the
speaker added: I'VE will never cease
fighting in those islands as long as there
is man there to resist the authority of
the American government"
Then he took up the question of trusts
and showed, apparently to his own salts
faction, that the Republican party had al
ways been the deadly enemy of the 0cto-
pus, while the Democrats had fed, petted
and protected it. At present the Hon.
Jeter saw no danger in trusts, 'but if
combinations of capital become too large
and dangerous the Republican party will
find way to pass laws to suppress and
control them, in spite of Democratic OPP
position"
The Hon. Jeter Casino predicted the
election of Mckinley with a confidence
that was sublimely beautiful and most
agitating to the office holding division of
his audience He said:
Fully one third of the Democrats
in the close Northern States will vote
for Mckinley and IN the South one-half
of the Democrats that vote for Bryan
will pray for McKinley's election. Why

cratic politician in this State said to me

for fear somebody will think l am a

"I-er-er," he stammered. "Why-er; the

Then he added: "Of course l couldn't

PRODUCING Judge Ewart to his audience
Judge Ewart made quite a different
speech from that of Pritchard, as the
two men are different.
The Judge began by referring to Mr.
Bryan as a great eader." And then he
added: Il use the word great advisedly.
If anybody has come here to hear me
abuse Mr.. Bryan he will go away disap-
pointed. Nothing could be gained by it.
and 1 suppose all Republicans accord to
him ability and wonderful resource. Ger
tainly he is the greatest campaigner in
America today"
Then Judge Ewart went on to say that
while he admired and respected Mr.. Bry-
an, he could not agree with him on all
his theories of government. First he
took up the question of Imperialism and
then that of trusts. Both of them he
discussed in broad minded and liberal,
not to say learned, way. Though his
Snepch was short 1T was a p0mpact lOoi-
cal discourse, and in this respect present
ed strong contrast to that of the Hon.

Cotton Growers Association.

The farmers of Edgecombe have or
ganized an association with ]. w. B. Bat
tie as president DR.. R. H. Speight vice
president and w o. Howard secretary
and treasurer.
Briefly stated, the object of the asso-
citation is to control in a measure the
price of cotton by regulating the mar
ketng as we'll as the production. This
production is to be regulated not so
much by prescribing how much cotton
an individual or State shall plant, but
by encouraging the farmers to raise their
own supplies, thereby of necessity curtail-
ing the cotton acreage.
If this last is only done the organiza-
ton will have been most beneficent in
its effects. 1t is to be absolutely nom
partisan, says the Tarboro Southerner.

SUNDAYSCHOOL WORK
The Sunday School Canvass
of City Complete.
The Result is Not Accurate as Oaly Within the
Corporation Limits of the City Did
the Canvassers Go.

About a month ago, the work of
taking a church and Sunday school
canvass was commenced by the Sun
day school workers of this city. The
city was divided out into districts,
one enumerator being assigned to each
district. The returns have all come in,
and were tabulated yesterday.
The object of the canvass was to
ascertain how many people there were
in the city who attend no Sunday
school or church, and to learn what
denomination they preferred. The list
thus obtained will surely be of es-
pecial benefit to Sunday school and
church work.
There are doubtless many inaccura-
ces in the work as it is the first time
any such affair has been attempted,
and it must be remembered that the
canvass was confined to the city linn
it's. The summing up by denomina-
tions is as follows:

It WAKES Warm,

The Senatorial contest wakes warm,
though so far as we can see the con-
test has lost much of the bitterness
and viciousness of a week ago. This
is due partly to the advice of such
Democrats as Hon. Thos. w. Mason.
The adherents of Carr and Simmons
are both confident of victory as they
are on the home stretch.
