New York, March 2S.-On behalf of the
Charleston Athletic club, j. c. Juadon
and w. Mclaughlin, members OF the
southern organization, have made a per-
sonal offer to Fitzsimmons for the bout
with Jeffries. The proposition was 70 per
cent of the gross receipts, with a guaran-,
teed purse of $4,000. Fitzsimmons i'm
mediatel accepted the offer. AS evidence
of good faith the southern club men nave
agreed to post forfeit of $4,000 when
the contract shall have been signed by
the fighters. -..-.
Juadon and Mclaughlin explained to
Fitzsimmons that there is nothing in the
laws of South Carolina to prevent boxing
contests between heavy weights from be-
ing decided in the state.
IF Jeffries,' said the former champion,
"is as anxious for the match as I am, he
will not hesitate to accept the Charleston
offer. 1t is the best and most sincere
one that has yet been made for the
match. Immediately after articles of
agreement are signed by Jeffries and my
self the southerners will post SIS, 900 to be
divided between us. Later they will post

Chair Factory was on fire wherein was

poured a strong stream of water on the

MISAPPREHENSION.

1t takes money to get out newspa-
per 81 times year, and it takes money
to feed an editor and his employees.
Don't forget that and come across with
that dollar. We are not running per-
ennial bloomer.-J ackson Argus.
The above statement is astonishing.
1t is simply preposterous, not to say
ridiculous. You can't make some peo-
pie in this world believe that it takes
money to run a newspaper" 1t takes
money to run stores, factories, offices,
shops and railroads, but it doesn't take
money to run newspaper, in their es-
timation. They think a newspaper is
like perpetual motion, all you have to
do is to start it and it "goes on forever"
without grease" Printers live on
water, print paper doesn't cost any
thing, house rent is free, type never
wears out and ink replenishes itself,
You can send out accounts, but they
just know you don't need any money,
and therefore you have to waste a good
deal of energy and time. Oh, no, a
newspaper doesn't need any money but
the editor needs bold face to stand
of creditors, and heap Of patience
and grace. If you have any more
grace" than you need send us that.

PETROLEUM OIL
FOUND IN COBB,
The State Chemist, r1r.
rIcCandless, PrOnOun-
ces it Pure Oil.

Is there oil in the vicinity of Mari
eta? From present indications, there
! is. A few weeks ago fire broke out in
the grass on Mr.. George B. highs land,
one and half miles southeast Of Mari
eta. 1t destroyed about It's of his
peachtrees in his orchard. A negro
man, named Jasper Burtz, living on
Mr.. McKenzie's farm, saw the destruc-
ton the fire was making and went over
and fought the fire. On the branch,
where water had settled in the bottoms,
and had been standing for some tine,
after the fire in the sage grass had been
extinguished, the water kept burning,
this alarmed the old negro and he
fought that much harder, but burn it
would.
He reported the matter to MIR. Geo.
B. Nigh, the owner of the land, and
upon investigation, he and Mr.. John P.
Cheney visited the place, and ooziug
from the ground was oil, withoutHa
doubt.
Professor McCalla, assistant Estate
Geologist, says, "The best indication
for petroleum is the oil itself oozing
from the ground and collecting as an
iridescent film on the surface of pools.
Such films can easily be distinguished
from other rainbow colored films, the
most common of which being iron OK
ide, by their odor and inflammable
| nature"
All these indications were evident
and demonstrated on Mr.. highs land
A bottle of this oil, about a quart, was
gathered and carried to State Chemist
McCandless last Saturday. He pro.
nounced it oil without doubt.
This gives rise to further investiga.
ton. If these indications are oil, Their
the best way to find out the extent is
to bore for oil. The quantity of oil
oozing out on this land in pools shows
there must be down in the bowels Of
the earth On inexhaustible supply
The lands adjoining belong to DR.. VIM
Aston, Mr.. Brewer, Mr.. w. NJ. Me
KeHzie and Rev. S. A. Paris.
! The indication of oil on Rev. S. A
Paris land seem TO be observable to {
/ very striking degree.
If "gusher" IS found, then Mariet
ia will become the oil center of OF
wells in North Georgia, and the out
come will be one of great prosperity t.

LEE AND JACKSON.

The anniversary of General Lees
birthday was fittingly observed in this
place last Monday at the court house
by exercises under the auspices of the
. Daughters of the Confederacy. A large
crowd and vast number of school
children were present. The rostrum
was handsomely decorated with the
Confederate colors, and potted flowers,
while portraits of the great generals
Lee and Jackson were suspended under
the drapery formed by these colors.
Rev. S. K. Belk delivered feeling
prayer.
Captain W. J. Hudson in an impress
i've manner introduced the first speak
err, Prof. S. " Sanford, after lively
air by Baldwin's Military Band which
kindly volunteered its services for the
occasion. Professor Sanford showed
the many sides of Jackson by compar-
ing him with other great military lead
ers who were likewise distinguished in
civil life, and Disseminated in Jack
sons favor between that generals re-
ligion and that of Cromwell who he
said, was largely fanatical.
An alarm of fire during the profess
sor's address took away quite num-
Der of people who were in attendance,
but after few airs by the band and
the excitement subsiding, the exer-
cises were continued.
Prof. Sanford S speech was mastery
and highly creditable, showing thought
and research.
Capt Hudson's Introductory was a
gem of oratory and beautiful thoughts
Colonel G. ID. Phillips delivered an
enthusiastic but at the same time
truthful eulogy upon General Lee as
man and as a soldier, holding up this
matchless parsonage as one to be adj
mired by every American youth and
ending 10y reading a beautiful little
poem appropriate to the occasion.
Col. Phillips, the grand old Confed-
ate veteran, proved himself equal to
the occasion and did himself credit.
After another selection by the band
the audteHce was dismissed with the
benediction by Doctor J. II. Patton.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
deserve the highest praise for the sue.
cess Of the celebration and the good
work they are doing.
Baldwia'sBand is one of the inscitu.
tions Of the town and being generous in
'tsfavors deserves encouragement.
