Knocked Out In Five Rounds.

San Francisco, November 15.--Ih one
of the most unsatisfactory prize fights
ever witnessed In this country James q
Jeffrios proved tho victor Tonight over
Gus Rubin, the Akron giant Tn the
fifth round of what was TO have been n
twenty-round struggle Rubin wilted and
tEen surrendered to his peer to the utter
amazement and disgust Of the assembled
thouSands. No one was more surprised
than Jeffries himself, who asserted that.
while he had delivered one telling blow
in the second round, be did not expeot
to. win the victory 30 easily. Ruhiin's
sole explanation Of the outcome of the
fight is that he received chance blow.
which utterly disabled him, and that
Jeffries persisted in fighting him low.
Whlle Ruhlin will mako no absolute
foul, he intimates that lie was unfairly
handled and injured as a result. Rubin
receives the support of his seconds in
this stand, who say that his was a hone
less case after the second round.
Almost from the beginning of the fight
Ruhlin appeared frightened. The fight
was practically finished in the second
round, when Jeffries landed left hook on
the jaw that took all the fight out of
Rubin. His seconds complained bitterly.
but Rubin insisted that ho was the vic.
tim Of an accident Jeffries walked to
Ruhlin's corner, asked what was the
matter, then turned in disgust and, pro-
ceeded to his dressing room, while the
spectators rose as ono man and cheered
the champion, while they denounced
Rubin rs Quitter and fakir, The
police tumbled into tho ring, stopr I'd
two fights, in which Corbett, the referee,
and officers of the club wero involved.
The utmost excitement prevailed, dur
ing which Rubin made his way out of
the ring.
The general verdict of the sports who
paid over $50, 900 into the box office is
that Ruhiin was outclassed. Next
month Jeffries is to meet Tom Sharkey.

Notes from Speeds Creek.

Speeds Creek, November 1S.-Tho far
mcrs are about dono gathering corn, cot
ton, potatoes, etc, and the c;;!cr CT tho
day is preparing to SOW wheat, oats,
barley and rye.
We are sorry to learn that Mr.. and
Mrs. M. w. Coleman will soon move to
their new home in Charleston. Wo wish
to return our thanks to Mrs. Coleman
for her benevolonco tows rd tho young
people, and especially for tho interest
she has taken in the matter of educating
the poor people. We hopo that thoro
will be some one who will keep the
libraries travelling from ono community
to another. This enterprise has not
been as extensive as it would have been
had our people thoroughly understood
the intention of the travelling library.
Mrs. Coleman was amply able 10 furnish,
and would .have furnished, lot moro
been called for This carries my mind
back to 1859 when l was a school boy,
just before tho civil war. In 1860 our
school mastor enlisted for the war.
School teachers were not as plentiful
then as they are now in our days, and
his enlisting ended our little country
school until the year 1867. We had no
such advantages then as we do now. l
think if any people over livod in days of
prosperity wo must bo living in it now.
We have free schools, and in many dis
tricts tho trustees are furnishing free
books; we have our mail delivered free
at our homes everyday, and ono of our
ncighbors remarked recently that in ad
dition to this he gets moro medicine
given to him free, i'm the way of samples,
than his family can consume
While my thoughts arc running q little
on prosperity and enterprise allow mo TO
say that had an occasion to drop in at
Tho Courier Office the other day, and l
saw nothing there but prosperity and
enterprise / used to watch the printers
while at press tho old way. What vast
difference botwcen that and tho now
appliances used in The Courier Office
now! Everything running by electricity
now suppose doing about twelve
times the work as of yorc. ! enjoyed
myself very much while in company
with tho publishers, seeing that they,
too, seem to be enjoying life.
VOL, wish to mention ono moro en-
torpriso that have heard little talk
about-that is silk growing in our coun-
try. | was glad to hear of an expert
cnccd grower, and ono who will probably
bo the means of establishing silk mill
in this county. AS the silk worm thriycs
on mulberry leaves there is no reason
for to fear lack of food for tho pro-
ducors. People of experience say any
family having two or three girls can
make from thirty to forty dollars worth
of silk during tho months of May, June
and July. This work will suit girls
much better than cotton mills. We have
silk market nearby now at Clemson.

A Cat Cuts Off Niagara's Power.

[Lockport On. ~ Dispatch, Nov. 1917
A cat was tho cause of great deal of
trouble to the International Traction
Company and tho Niagara Falls Power
Company last night. Tho cat climbed n
trolley pole on the Buffalo and Loclkport
Electric Railway at Hoffman, small
town west of this city, and tried to walk
on feed wire. Hor tail touched the
parallel wire that carried tho current
back to Niagara Falls. Thoro was a flash
that could be seen for miles as tho 81 900
volts of electricity passed through her
body. She was burned to crisp. Hor
charred body fell across both wires and
did not drop to tho ground. This short
circnited the current and caused fuse
at the Niagara Falls power house to be
burned out. Tho power was mmcdi-
ately cut off from all tho lines running
out of tho power house. 1t was two
hours before tho cause of the trouble was
located and tho charrcd remains of the
cat removed from tho wire. In the mean
time almost all tho electric railways and

was literally whipped to death by Mel

seems to have been no excuse for the
deed but fiendish cruelty. Hours were

About thousand lashes were admins

hundreds of places the flesh was gashed
The boy was probably unconscious long
before the beating ceased. While the

liected at his house, and, as it was feared
he would be lynched, he was hurried to

tParlS Correspondence London Tclegraph.)
An art student named Roget. whose
parents had hopes that he would one
day become a sculptor as famous as
Carrier. Belleuse. or Rodin, has put an
untimely end TO his life through love.
In the course of his wanderings through
studios Roget became acquainted with
beautiful Italian girl. named Blanca
PoZZi, who occasionally posed as a mod
el for painters and sculptOrs. Roget be-
came deeply enamored of the young wom-
an. who lived with her parents. and who
bears a blameless character. She recipro-
Gated the affection OF the young sculptor,
but she and her father insisted that there
should be a marriage duly legaized by a
mayor and blessed by a priest. Roget ac-
cordingly set to work in order to obtain
the consent Of his parents to the marriage,
but this was ineXorably refused.
I.esssii0is Ferret, where Blanca Pozzi
lives, and shot himself dead beneath her
window. lis body was found at . o clock
this morning by a passing milkman. who
informed the police. The identity of the
deceased was easily established from the
papers in his pockets Roget had also
left at his lodgings an open letter, in
which he Informed his parents and his
laudlady that he was about to blow out
his brains as he had nothing to live for
since he was not allowed to marry Blanca
PozzI.
Thus passed away one more victim OF
the stringent rules and regulations re-
specting marriage which are in force in
France.
