promised in my last to tell how to
make the work Of the farmer lighter
and suppose there is nothing left but
90 get at il. Now, if thought only a
few would take the advice | would be
compensated for the trouble from the
knowledge of the fact that life would
be more pleasant TO them.
Heaven il not q place but cODdi-
ton and why not have little of il
here as well as to wait til after death.
When God made the world He made
il perfect with all the equipments
necessary for mans enjoyment of life.
III il is not heaven to US it is our
fault not His. If il is hell TO US We
are equally to blame. Fixed laws
govern the world and all that portion
10 il and there is no escape from its
violations.
Then to make our labor less and our
epjoymeuts more. We must make it
possible to keep up with the process
sion as We will find ourselves left be-
hind and standing alone.
Permit me TO say have very little
respect for the intelligence of man
who wants to follow in the same old
rut his daddy used either politically
or otherwise. We all know that they
plowed around the trees and stumps
spd hoed around them, too, in ante
bellum days; but while you can pillow
around them now and grin and cuss,
you cannot get the modern negro to
hoe around them unless you are right
there aud if you do the hoeing your
self. il is hard work and if hot the
sweat will roll from your brow while
you use language not appropriate for
q prayer meeting and grumble and
growl because Eve and Adam fell
from their frs: estate and had the
curse pronounced upon them.
Thus the first thing for you to do is
20 dig your stumps out but the better
way is to pull them out. 1t is faster
and easier. Get you log cart, such
Is is used to draw logs to the mill.
Take two good mules drive over the
stump, throw your lesver back, catch
the dogs as low as possible, then,
when the mules come TO pull on the
leaver, which is the lounge of the
cart, if your dogs are in the sound
part of the stump, she will come out.
This if practical and an economical
way as well as fast one to get rid of
them.
When you have done this you are
ready for up-to-dste machinery 10
cultivate and harvest your crops with.
About which will write at another
time, assuring you that when yOu
have done these things the brightness
and happiness of heaven will begin to
shine on you.
Things are moving here with such
q rush that We don't have time TO eat
or sleep, but it will soon be over.

COHEN AND D0UGHERTY
REMATCHED.
Event TO Occur on or About Feb. z.
Match Much Discussed.

Event TO Occur on or About Feb. <.
Match Much Discussed.
Ike Cohen and Dan Dougherty, the
bantamweight boxers, who met Thurs
day night in the ring of the Sa-
vannah Athletic Club in one of the
cleverest and fastest exhibitions of the
many art ever witnessed in this city,
were matched again yesterday for a
second meeting, the same to be pulled
off on or about Feb. ?, for a purse of
$500, winner to take all.
Yesterday, the bout Thursday night
was a source of general comment, the
one opinion being that it was without
doubt the best, cleanest and most per-
feet exhibition ever given in Savan-
nah, and the relative merits of the
men argued pro and con. That Dough-
erty was the cleverer of the two is
undisputed and that he won fairly is
unquestioned, though there are many
who have the impression that Referee
Jenkins counted the fatal ten seconds
faster than he should. This is only a
matter of opinion, as no one had a
watch on the count, and as the referee
is the sole authority in the ring this
question is wavered, the fact remain
ing that the bout was a good one, and
every one of those who attended the
fight will be there again.
Cohen admits defeat, but thinks the
count was fast. He is confident he can
defeat Dougherty and appealed to the
latter and the club for another match.
Dougherty at once consented, but the
club held off for awhile as Cohen in
sisted on a purse instead of a percen-
After 1ua dpliharatiOn PraSi-
dent Mcbride of the club decided last
night to offer the above purse, winner
take all, as suggested by Cohen.
Despite the fact that Cohen was de-
feated, he has many admirers. One of
them stating that he stands ready to
make a side bet of $3.50 that he will
win in another match. The wagers will
be placed this morning, and it is like
ly to be followed by others, as both
men have many admirers.
This fight has created more interest
than any fight ever occurring in Sa-
vannah, and in event of another fight
there will no doubt be the largest
crowd assembled that ever witnessed
a glove contest in this city. Dough-
erty's condition Thursday night was
discussed freely, and the opinion was
universal that he put up the best fight
he has in months. The long rest and
steady life he has led has improved
his condition, and the exhibition he
put up was of the first order.
On the other hand Cohen proved a
very clever lad. He was vicious from
the beginning to the end and at one
stage of the fight-when he floored the
local man--had the fight all hut won.
Dougherty admits this fact and says
that he was completely daZed, and
thought he was done for. He staggered
to his feet, but did not know what
he was doing for several minutes.
This shows how close Cohen came to
winning the fight He was in the game
at all stages, and it appears toss
up as to which is the better man. The
relative qualities of each offsetting the
advantages of the other.

several Orguntza lions to BE Formed
Here the Coming Summer.
Although very early in the season
the local baseball enthusiasts have
started the agitation of the game in
this city the coming season on a much
lologer scale than heretofore, and it is
likely that a city league of four or
more teams will be in the field by the
time it becomes time to start the ball
agoing.
While definite plans have not yet
been made it is very probable that the
Y. M. c. A, Y. M. H. A, c. L. A,

organization There is a great amount
of good material in this city and in

The interest in baseball the ap-
preaching season is influenced by the
talk of a professional team, of the
Southern League, being put here,
by Chas. Frank and Robert Gilks,
but which fell through in the final
organization and concessions in the
league. This move inspired the boys
with the ball fever, and if present in
tentions materialize, the public of Sa-
Vannah will be given an article of hall
such as they have not had before in
many a year.

Rural Free Delivery Plan VIII Be
Abandoned If Toll BE Charged.
The government has decided not to
establish the two rural free delivery
routes promised Savannah to begin
Feb. 2, unless all toll is waived on the
roads over which the routes are laid
Notice to this effect was received yes
terday by Postmaster Henry Blum. The
toll roads that will be used in the
routes as planned are the Vernon Shell
road in the first, or Thunderbolt route,
and the Skidaway Shell road on the
second, or White Bluff route. AS soon
as the governments letter was re-
ceived Capt. Blum called on Mr.. d. B.
Lester, president of the Vernon Shell
road, who Immediately consented to
waive the toll. Mr.. j. c. Rowland,
president of the Skidaway road, was
out of the city yesterday, but will be

DOUGLAS VS. WILSON.

In Augusta Jan. 27, Providing Com
ditions Are Correctly Represented.
There is a difference between Fred
Douglas, the boxer, and Jack Kenney,
promoter of the Augusta Athletic
Club, relative to Douglas fighting one
Jack Wilson in that city on the night
of the 9th Kenney is in the city, and
according to both he and Douglas, the
latter was slated by Kenney to meet
Wilson in that city on the above date.
This was by agreement only, Kenney
failed to send articles here to be sign
ed by Douglas, and consequently the
latter has failed to train, thinking the
bout off.
Now Kenney states that he has adj
Vertised the bout for the night of the
9th and expects Douglas to fill his
part of the engagement. Douglas met
Kenney yesterday and upon the assur-
ance of the latter that the bout was
being advertised, he consented to go
there and meet Wilson as scheduled,
though he is not in the best of condi-
ton, and says he is not accustomed to
doing business without signed articles
of agreement.
Douglas will take with him Young
Jollie and Young Miller, two prelimi-
nary fighters of this city, to furnish
the opening bout This, of course,
is providing he finds matters as Ken
ney has represented them. He sent
Young Jollie on last night to Augusta
to ascertain how things stands.
Pat Raedy is scheduled to meet Will
son one week after the Douglas bout.

MeIdrim, According to RumOr.
The rumor that Col. p. w. Meldrim
had resigned the presidency of the
Hibernian Society was current yester-
day. When asked If it were true, Col.
Meldrim refused either to affirm or
deny it, and refused to discuss it
at all, a course that was pursued by
other prominent members of the So
ciety.
The step on Col. Meldrim's part was
brought about, it is1 exported, because
of the refusal of the Hibernain So
ciety, which jointly with the st. An
drew's Society occupies rooms in the
Hussars building, to allow the Uni
versity Club of which also Col. Mel

where he will make his future home.
Mr.. Bryan is one of the best players
of the team, and his loss will be dis

The Savannah team has done so we'll
in its last two games that great things
are expected of it in those scheduled
for the immediate future. 1t will be
remembered that in the last match
with Darien, played on the Savannah
links, the local team won, securing its
first triumph over the Darienites, de-
spite the fact that the teams have
played several matches. Again, in the
game with the Jacksonville organiza-
ton played Jan. 10, the Savannah men
managed to make a tie of the match,
