GOVERNOR BLISS
AGAINST THE FIGHT
SAYS THE McovERN-coRBETr
FIGHT COMES UNDER THE HEAD
OF PRIZE FIGHT AND CAN'T BE
PULLED OFF IN MICHIGAN.

Lansing. Mich, December 19.7Governor
A. T. Bliss will not permit the McGovern-
Corbett fight, which was to have been
held in Detroit next month, as had been
planned. He wrote this AFTERNOON to
Sheriff Dickinson of Wayne county, cali
ing his attention to the law ON the sub
ject and telling him that he expected him
os sheriff to see that the fight was not
held in Detroit. In the letter the governor
calls the sheriff's attention to the decis-
ion of the Supreme court against lighting
in Michigan, and tells him if he needs
assistance to prevent the fight he will
give it to him. In his letter the governor
says
II understand that what Is being called
sparring match between Young Corbett
and Terry McGovern is being arranged
to take place in Wayne county some day
in January, 1903. Complaint has been
made to me that this sparring contest is
to be a prizefight. In contemplation of
the statute prohibiting contests of this
character and after making such investl-
cation as possible l have come to the
conclusion that the contest as arranged
to be held comes within the definition Of
a prizefight as laid down by the Supreme
court.
81 hereby request and direct that you
take such steps as necessary 20 prevent
the taking place of this prizefight.
Detroit. December 19.-Manager Consi-
dine, of the Metropolitan Athletic cli.o,
insists that the proposed fight between
McGovern and Corbett is not to be a
prizetight. but a sparring contest within
the law. He says that bout under slml-
lar articles will be given In Light Guard
armory next Friday night, and that the
law will be tested Considine declares
that McGovern and Corbett will meet
here as planned.

THREATENS TO TEST THE
AMENDMENT.

One John A. Smith, a CASTOR Republi-
can, is making stump speeches in that
county, and is talking mainly about the
amendment. He replied to Mr.. Yates
Webb on Friday. report in the Char
lotte Observer of his speech says
4" Seriously, i think the greatest out
rage ever perpetrated on American citi-
Zens is the poll-tax provision The speak
er referred to the history of the Romans
in reply to an assertion made by Mr..
Webb and said the disfranchisement of
straight haired Americans" was as great
a crime as Claudius committed (referring
to the Emperor's demand for Virginius'
daughter), and that it might be wrong
to say SO, and he would not advise any
one to do it, but if he had complied
With all the laws of good citizenship
and presented his poll-tax receipt and
was refused a vote he would feel like
doing as Virginius did-stabbing the re-
sDonsible party in the heart and start
ing the ball a-rolling. 'Whew, whistles
some one and Mr.. Smith somewhat ex
planned his assertion without, however,
withdrawing it.
"The speaker said he knew how much
campaign money Pritchard got and it
all went to the heelers-the negroes got
none of it. Don't let 'em get you away
from the main issues. Vote to repeal
this Internal law that will grind the
faces of the common people,, said he.
Mr.. StoneEall Jackson Durham. the
Democratic candidate for the State Sen
ate, replied vigorously to Mr.. Smith
said his speech was incendiary and on a
par with former efforts of the Republican
party to .infiame the negro.
Among other absurd things, here is
what Smith is reported to have said:
1.-The speaker denounced the infamous
law which DISTINGUISHES men because
they do not pay their poll tax. He heard
Democratic legislators talking among
themselves in the Marlborough House at
Raleigh about the law, and they agreed
that the country would be barer of money
in the spring than any other time and
therefore that was the time to make the
law effective"
That's a sample of the sort of stuff
he talked, closing up with statement
that the Republicans would test the con-
stitutional amendment and it will be de-
clared unconstitutional.
The Morning Post and Charlotte OBJ
server, which have been telling us that
the Republicans have accepted the amend
ment, are invited to read this public dec
laration which is in keeping with the
Republican platform utterances.

A PROMPT REFUSAL.

To the Citizens of Raleigh:
When a committee consisting OF some
of the largest and strongest fire insur-
ance companies belonging to the South
eastern Tariff Association called on the
Raleigh agents of the Greensboro Fire
Insurance Companies, and demanded
that an advance of twenty per cent.
be charged on rates of fire insurance or
else companies belonging to the South
eastern Tariff Association would with
draw their agencies from the raleigh
agents of the Greensboro companies, a
prompt and fiat refusal to advance the
fire insurance rates was made by the
Raleigh agents. Representing the
Greensboro Fire Insurance Companies

surance at the old rates.

THE RAILROAD TRUST

For week or more the papers have
been full of reports to the effect that
a gigantic trust was being formed to en-
brace all the important railroad systems
in the South, to practically cover the re-
gion south of the Ohio river to the gulf
The declaration of Mr.. John Shelton
Williams, President of the Seaboard Air
Line, that '"the Seaboard is now and will
continue absolutely independent" was a
cheering piece of news, as negativing
the reports of an all-embracing trust.
II the Northern Securities litigation
results favorably for the railroads, the
time is not far distant when an attempt
to organize a Southern Securities Com
pany will be seen. The Southern States
should be ready to prevent the organiza-
ton of trust so far-reaching and inju-
rious. 1t is prohibited by the Constitu-
ton of South Carolina and by the laws OF
Georgia. The State of North Carolina
and Virginia ought to follow suit so as to
be ready to unite to prevent the destruc-
ton of Independent lines. 1t would tend
to decrease railroad building in the
South and would therefore retard South
ern development.
We hope that other strong railroads
in the South will follow the example O
the Seaboard and remain absolutely in
dependent.

A Word to. the Great Army
of Summer TOilerS.
If You Are Not as Robust, Wig
orous and Happy as Others
in the Month of August
Paine'S Celery
Compound
Will Give You Health. Full
Energy and Happiness.

Many men toiling in offices, stores. and
workshops during this hot summer
weather, and women weighted with the
work and cares of home, are critically
near the breaking down point. The symp-
toms of coming sickness and disease are
manifested in sleeplessness, nervouness,
tired feelings, languidness, irritability,
failing appetite, and poor blood circula-
ton.
Paine's Celery Compound is precious
boon to the ailing, sick, and rundown
in this August weather. A bottle or two
used at once will quickly bestow the
needed strength to battle against the
weakening and enervating effects of the
oppressive heat, and will enable men and
women to go through the necessary rou-
tine Of daily toll with heart, SOUL and
energy. Paine's Celery Compound is
specially distinguished for its ability to
build up rundown systems in hot wealth
er.
Mr.. George W. Demarest, of 1913 West
9th street, New York, says
Il am licensed stationary engineer, and
although my work is not very laborious,

In his opening speech of the campaign
Yates Webb told the CASTOR people that
il Adam had received salary of $4,000
per year and saved every cent of it, he
would not now be worth as much as the
steel trust has made in one year. That
was rather a neat way of showing how
the trust is getting over-rich through
its big tariff pull.
