 SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 26.s Simul- taneously with the issue of the trade appointing the mixed Macedonian com mission the report comes from Censtan- tinople that the porte has ordered the mobilization of two additional divisions of Asiatic troops. The trade has ere ated little impression here.

aged So. He was a fine farmer; own
ed grist mills, cotton gins, oil mills,
and some of the finest lands in Cleve-
land and Rutherford Counties. His
money backed every religious and
educational enterprise, yet he was a
man who could not speak or sing.
He was, unlike the rugged Squire
Champion, a semi-invalid. Yet he
made money, did good with it, and
will be generally lamented.
Four characters have now been i'm
perfectly portrayed,-two remarka-

cerned. Maybe there is a place for

formed, and could out-speak and out,
sing any other man in his township
He was a good carpenter, could run
a saw mill, a fair farmer, an excel
lent Sunday-school and church or
ganizer and worker, and no farmer
in this region could hold a light for
him on a political speech. He was
raised where the moral, educational,
and religious standard was very low,
and his environment was very un-
promising. Nearly all his neighbors
made whiskey, and chicken fights and
shooting-matches were the Sunday
diversions. Later, Champion Joined
the Baptist Church, and as much or
more through his agency than of any
other n man, Union Church was
built twenty years ago.. It is a cred
liable, commodious building, painted
white, we'll seated, and well ventilat-
ed. Squire Champion had little
money to give, but he hauled saw
logs, worked at his trade, and, by his
powers of persuasion, induced others
to contribute the sinews of war. A
good Sunday-school has been carried
on all the time, of which Champion
has been music leader and Superin-
tendent. While a Baptist, he has,
part of the time, been also Superin-
tendent of a Methodist Sunday
school near him that met in the even
ing. About the time the church was
built, a school house was erected.
This was a framed structure 90 K 80
feet, and, at that time, n of the
best public school buildings in Cleve-
land County. Needless to say, that
the same self-sacrifce and enthu-
siasm of E. z. Champion helped to
promote and perfect this enterprise.
The writer taught three terms in this
building, and found Squire Cham
pion a good patron, and an excellent
committeeman. Later, they found
they needed a better house, and one is
about completed, costing yer $500.
The same energy was again shown,
and here he sacrificed his life.

very useful man passed away at Lat

ucorn Cracker" Writes of -Four of His
Neiphbors Who Have Recently Passed


rs,+or NJ The Progressive Farmer:
Since writing my last article, we
have had a two weeks period of dry
winds. which was injuring cotton
late corn, and sweet potatoes. The
drought was broken yesterday by q
rood gentle rain, and conditions are
improved. As a compensation for
this dry spell of over two weeks, it
has been a fine time for saving fod-
der. Present indications are for
about two-thirds of a corn yield, and
nearly three-fourths of a cotton crop
in this immediate section. l am,
however. advised, that the average
for the feecy staple in Cleveland
County will not be over two-thirds of
yield.
The fruit crop of this immediate
section is very short, and peas are
very small for the season.
Referring again to cotton pros
poets. the crop is at least three weeks
late. and much depends on the frost.
Allow me to here incidentally re-
mark that | speak as one having au-
tbority, being something of a farmer
myself. Yes, l teach school, take

Jack O'Neill BeStS Him, Then He

Maynard caught it both ways last night
at the National Athletic Club. In the
first place he got his bumps from Jack
O'NeiH, and then his portion CT The
share OF the receipts vas attached by
his New York manager, John Murray.
Maynard signed with Murray just about
the time that he was springing into
prominence here, and just before his
bouts with Young Corbett and Ter-y
McGovern- With the making of those
matches Murray had no more to % than
a cigar @tore Indian, but just TIE same
his bit" as they say in select srortiDS
circles. amounted to something like 5000
AS Murray was arranging no matches
that amounted to anything for him, May
nard concluded to cut loose. But Muir
ray. who evidently needs the money,
wouldn't have it that way. Hence last
nights attachment. The money will be
tied up today by Maynard's lawyer.
The bout was 4 fast one from end
to end O'Nein appeared to be The
heavier and larger every day, and made
a hammer and torgs affair of it. May
nard himself is a mixer. and as a re-
suit. there wasn't a minute when there
wasn't something doing. In the fourth
round Billy went down for the count.
and in the sixth at the close of the
round he was very tired.
Willie Lewis and Kid Stein, ct the
city, boxed the semi-wind-up with hon
ors slightly in favor OF Lewis at the
finish The bout between Peter Lowry' s
unknown and Charley Jennings, two big
fellows, was full of action. There were
stages of the game when the unknown
WAS all in: there were stages when Jen-
nings appeared to be ready TO think
1t over IN a quiet sort of fashion, and
there was one brief interval when the
gentlemanly and urbane referee. J.

take the count. While throwing around
