BE and &. B. Crawford Engage in a

The Durham correspondence Of the
Charlotte Observer ssys: Passengers
who came in on the morning train from
Greensboro Thursdsy brought the news
Of ''scrap" that occurred on the train.
The parties implicated in the fight
we're Dr.. John G. Kilgo, president Of
Trinity College, and Mr.. B. R. Crsw-
ford, 8 well known hardware merchant
Of Winston-Saiem. Mr.. Crawford was
seen st the residence Of his father-in-
law, Rev. Alexander Walker, Thursday
morning and asked about the matter.
He said that during the meeting Of COL

Thursday morning as he came down on
the train from Greensboro he happened
to 90 into the second class car where DR..
KIgo vas seated and approached him
in courteous manner, as he was not
angry and hsd no idea Of having q per-
sonal encounter, and stated to Dr..
Kilgo that his letter was very unsatis-
factory. Dc. Kilgo said that his
(CraWsord's) letter was also unsatisfac-
tory to him. Mr.. Crawford then said
to Dr.. KiIgo that his attack on his
fatheri in the Aforesaid speech was un-
warranted and coWsfd)y. Kilgo retort-
ed: You are the biggest coward in
the Sts.e," whereupon Mr. Crawford
struck DR.. Kilgo ana several blows were
passed bafcre they could be separated
by the passengers. They did not hurt
each other beyond few slight bruises,
and Mr.. Crawford expressed sincere re.
gret over the ooouvsaos, but felt that to
be called coward was an insult which
should be resented then and there. DR..
Kilgo was asked for statement but
declined TO have any thing to say about
the matter. MIR. CraRfori is graduate

Gen. HAMPTON Leaves.

On Wednesday morning at 1l:3O
o'clock over the Southern railway Gen.
Wsde Hampton left for the mountains,
being bound for the famous Sapphire
country. He was accompanied by his
sisters, his daughter and his niece. The
general though feeble is holding his
own remarkable yell for one of his age.
The Southern railway officials aoci-
dentally heard that Gen. Hampton was
to 50 mountainwsrd and at once the
road rendered him the use Of private
car for hin self and party. Snpsrin
tendent Welle's car vas used and sent
around to the depot on the train. Thus
the trip up was made very comforts

aged warrior appreciated.

The girls Of Georgia have been call
ed upon to face sn alarming and start
ling condition Of society. Recent CEN
sus figures reveal the fact that there
are not enough men in the state to 60
around, and that in round figures there
are nearly 1000 more women than
men. If Georgia girls chances are
limited to Georgia men the thing looks
serious, really meaning that girl has
less than an even chance Of getting a

A Narrow Escape.

The firing of shell from the battle
ship Kearsarge into Newport, 3. ;,
Wednesday indicates culpable careless
ness somewhere. It is most fortunate
that the shot did no further damage
than to break few Of the stones in the
new city hall. 1t might have caused
the loss Of several lives and the destruc.
tion Of much property. How the gun
which sent this shell came to be loaded
and how it happened to be fred are
mysteries to the public which will
probably be cleared up very soon.

Heat of the Sun.

Fred q. Hicks, farmer who raises
high grade poultry at his place on the
banks Of the Milestone river, near Wes.
ton, N. j., came to the village store
recently late in the afternoon, and told
how the hot sun had acted as an incu'
bstor, driving one Of the hens of her
nest and then Matching nine little
chicks out of dozen Of eggs he had
placed in the nest some days before.
When Hicks told his story he was
laughed at, but he stuck to it and said
that he could bring two Of his farm
hands to prove the truth of his words.

Golf enthusiasts who started the
Portage Golf club and were directly
or indirectly instrumental in securing
for that organization the course or
links it now uses, might have travelled
many day without finding any other
spot of land so well suited to the
purpose
Even if the wealth of historical in
terest the course possesses We're
eliminated, it would still be an all
around desirable spot for golf playing
But when that historical interest and
the romatic scenery of the course are
also taken into consideration the
stretch of country the players traverse
may be called almost ideal.
Years ago, upon these hills, John
Brown, the Abolitionist, fed his flocks.
More years ago Capt. Pipe, the Della
ware Chieftain, and his braves made
their war whoops echo from these
same hilltops; and if their reincarnated
spirits should walk today along the
Portage they were wont to travel,
they would be most interested not In
the masses of buildings and other
changes which have come since their
time, but in the game being played
along the trail they travelled century
or more ago.
Portage path, with which all local
readers are familiar, lies along the
golf course and gives the club its
name. Times changes have left little
of the old trail, save the name, but
that, most happily, is preserved and

it In little hole away out in the field
somewhere"
The best feature of the game Is the
healthful exercise one gets in playing
it. The game isn't played in a parlor,
bar room, a corner LOT or crowded
street. 1t must be played where there
are many acres of turf covered ground.
An ordinary course of nine holes is
generally from two to three miles long,
and the exercise comes in walking over
the course following the little round
ball after you have whacked it, and in
the swinging of the arms in various
ways to make the strokes
There is no better exercise than walk
ing, and when you walk up and down
hills, along stretches of green turf,
along hillsides and up hill and down
dale generally the amount of exercise
you get, and the kind, is worth gallons
of medicine and many Turkish baths
1t Is an ideal game for the business
man, for it is a seductive game, and
whoever plays it becomes interested.
As you follow that little round ball
over several miles of rolling country
and exercise your ingenuity in trying
to whack it out of tall grass, wagon
ruts in roads and the banks of creeks,
you become intensely Interested, don't
think of your business cares, forget
your little troubles and don't think at
all of the walking you are doing.
Point out a three stretch of un-
even country to your average business
man and ask them to walk it and he
wont stand for it. Hit wont even walk
two-miles to business in the morning.
And when il comes to the country he
wants street car, carriage bicycle or
automobile. But get him interested in
chasing that little round ball over the
ground and he'll walk five or six miles
and forget that he is walking.
We do not believe the game is fad.
II is the Oldest of outdoor games and 10
our mind the best. There is no violent
exercise in it. like running of bases
a top speed in game of baseball, and
il can be played by the old, the young
the weak, the strong You can play at
is as hard as YOU want to or take
things easy and rest whenever you
feel like it.
One reason, no doubt, that the game
has become more popular in late years
Is because public golf courses have
been opened up and there is a chance
for those of moderate means to play.
1t has been in the past very eXpen-
sive game because of the necessity Of
so many acres Of ground and the ex-
pense of getting course in order and
keeping it so. Now, however the peo-
pie begin to see the value of public
parks and outdoor exercise, and the
number of public courses Is constant
