Tonight the decisive contest between
Dave Barry and Jack Weday will be
brought off before an interested audi
ence at the Orpheum. The bout, set for
limit of fifteen rounds, is for decis-
ion, the winner taking the whole OF the
purse. AS both men are notably IN good
condition and of sturdy, punishment
taking calibre, unusual interest has been
taken in the event, which, it is popularity
conceded, will be close affair, lasting
well over ten rounds, if not to the linn
it,
The men will strip for the ring at $50
pounds. Barry weighed $50 IA yester-
day afternoon. not having worked all
day. Weday has had to drop considera-
bly, over twenty pounds to reach this, as
he has been long inactive for lack OF an
opponent. He is several years Older
than Barry, but is still well within the
age limit of boxers aggressiyeness
and force He has won here in several
fights in all of which he has displayed
great muscular force, cool-headed,
clean style of work and an apparently
illimitable capacity to take punishment.
Barry, the newcomer, has impressed
all most favorably with his stocky build,
healthy appearance and work shown at
his training exercises under Billy
Woods. He is younger than Weday,
taller and has the longer reach. He was
brought from the coast, by local sports
men especially to meet Weday. His try
out with an opponent manifestly out of
training on Christmas night showed
nothing but disposition to fight clean
and ability to punch hard. This last
item is a factor with both men, and
Barry's jabs will combat Weday's hooks
for the supremacy
1t is thought that the fight will be
decided on points, as neither, though
is thought able to overcome
the others capacity for taking punish
ment. This. state of affairs necessitated
the choosing of an absolutely competent
referee acceptable to both men and their
hackers. This Office was a difficult one
70 fill, but the final selection will prob I
ably suit the whole community, as Jess
Woods, manager OF whitman q 20, !
has. under heavy pressure, consented to
act.
Woods. besides being an all-round
athlete, knows the game thoroughly, and
IS perfectly impartial. His popularity |
as first baser1an of the Punahou team |
and coach of the H A. c. football team
has made him prominent in sporting
matters. aside from his business rela-
ions. He has eschewed boxing, except
from the standpoint of an interested am
ateur. and long ago refused to referee !
his bout. The interest taken of late in |
boxing and other forms of physical cul- |
ure was. however, brought to bear on /
Mr.. Woods by a large number of peo-
lie. and his consent was gained yester-
lay afternoon.
The program of preliminaries shows
more than usual minutiae several likely

HAD A STILL IN THE CELLAR.
Why Boards Distillery I'm Greenvilie
Was Seized by the Officers.

One Of the most interesting cases
which the collector of revenue will
take to the session Of court which
meets in Greenville in about two
weeks is the prosecution of a distiller
named Beard. This distiller was
operating plant near the city Of
Greenville and had permit from the
government as well as from the State.
1t was suspected that there was
something wrong and the place was
watched. Finally it was discovered
that in his warehouse there was
trap door giving access to q big still
in a concealed basement. This Illicit
still was operated to avoid the pay
ment Of license on the stuff manufac-
tured. From the legalized still some
distance away there were pipes bring
ing in the steam necessary for working
the mash and operating the retort.
There was no escape of steam to ndi-
cate where the false basement was,
and the only means Of access was the
trap door which was always covered
with a pile Of old sacks and could not
be seen with the naked eye. The
ring by which the door was raised was
the only thing which discoled its loca
tlon and that would not have been
found had not the officers been look
ing for it. The refuse from the hid
den still was carried by means of un-
derground pipes to the spot where the
refuse from the legaliZed still was
dumped. The whole plant was seized
by the revenue officers.
This distillery had formerly been
operated in the name of the Babb
brothers, who were supposed to have
an interest in il even when it was
running in Beard 5 name. Both John
and Tully Babb have been defendants
frequently in the federal and State
courts, answering to the charge OF
violating the liquor laws. 1t used to
be regular thing for the dispensary
constables to run in Tu!ly Babb every
week or so, and at one time there was
d stack of indictments piled up against
him in the Greenville court. He and
his brother look like the typical coun-
try youths of the poorer class: they
are Of rather innocent countenance
but old in the ways of the tranSgres-
sor. They seem to have prospered, as
some years ago they erected credit
able brick building on Main street in
Greenville, with stores and Offices to
rent.-The State.

Itural Delivery CARRIERS.

There has been large number Of
requests for information regarding
that provision in the postoffice appro-
priation bill affecting rural free deliv-
cry carriers. The exact wording Of
this provision follows: 'On and after
July l, 1904, letter carriers of the
rural free delivery service shall
receive salary not exceeding 1920
per annum, and No other or fuller
allowance Of salary shall be made to
said carriers: and on and after said
date said carriers shall not solicit
business or receive orders or any kind
for any person, trim, or corporation,
and shall not, during their hours Of
employment, carry any merchandise
for hire: Provided, That. said car
riers may carry merchandise for hire
for and upon the request Of patrons
residing upon their respective routes,
whenever the same shall not interfere
with the proper discharge OF their
official duties, and under such regula-
tions as the postmaster general may
prescribe" There was much discus.
ion before this provision was finally
agreed upon, but it is understood
that the senate will approve, and it is
likely to become law in it's present
form. The hous, conferees will insist
upon this being done, if nece ssary.

SETTLERS COMING.
Three Items Of Considerable Interest
in Regard to Immigration.

The Columbia Record says Mr.. Jos.
w. Stewart, passenger agent of the
Seaboard, Thursday received letter
from DR.. ChaS. Gurneer, of Evansville,
Ind, who Is now in Charleston, in re-
gard to establishing a German Ameri-
can colony somewhere in this state.
DR.. Gurneer has interested himself in
this idea considerably and desires to
purchase anywhere from 1000 to
10000 acres of swamp land which can
be obtained cheap and then after
draining it render it suitable for colo
nization by q large colony Of German
citizens who are now in the state of
Indiana. They are not satisfied with
the climate and wish to come South
DR.. Gurneer is now in Charleston and
expects to go to Summerville where
he will inspect the French Canadian
colony and afterwards will come to
Columbia for conference with the
Scaboard officials. 1t is impossible
that the colony may be located very
near this city and If not it may be up
near Cheraw. The Seaboard people
will do all they can to have it located
near Columbia
The Office OF commissioner or immi-
grafton is In receipt Of a large number
of inquiries In regard to statistical
information about the state. From
the facts now on hand in this Office
the inquiries can be answered at once
and In this way the state is being
well advertised. A letter was receiv-
ed from a capitalist in Texas Tues.
day desiring information as to the law
exempting enterprises from taxation,
1t being intimated in the letter that
he was interested in this state and
might be induced to invest. The capi-
talistlwas given the law on the matter,
which, according to the recent discus
sion of the supreme court in the Spar-
tanburg mill case, provides what
majority OF the citizens in the district
shall decide whether or not the enter
prise shall be exempt from the tax.
The term fixed by law is five years.
Efforts have been made recently by
the LEGAL officers Of the Seaboard to
interest a northern capitalist in
stock farm about i've miles below Co.
lumbia. Tie gentleman who had
been in the city several days on pleas
ure became Interested in the town
and after finding out the cheapness of
the land in the vicinity closed deal
for about 200 acres OF land just below
the city. The gentleman's name is
N. w. Smith and he is expected to
return in few days and complete all
arrangements for stock farm.

Let Them Come.

Mr.. r.. b. Cultra, Of Illinois, is
visiting his son in Horny county. This
young man has established fruit
nurseries in that county and has been
most successful. According to a dis
patch in the News and Courier: "Mr.
II. b. Cultura says that conditions are
ripe in Illinois for emigration. The
older men wish their sons to get land
and go out on their own account.
Land sells there for 1925 and 5000 an
acre, ard cannot be bought at that
price. Consequently they must seek
other states, and number have gone
to Arkansas and Mississippi" We
trust that our immigration bureau
will be able to induce some OF these
desirable immigrants to come to this
state.

shot Them by Accident,

A dispatch from Greenville to The
State says T.. M. Gillespie, who lives
about two miles from the city on the
Easley road, while handling his gun
on Monday night accidentally dis
charged the piece, the load entering
the feet OF his infant child, not more
than years OF age. a small portion
of the shot entered the hip OF his wife,
who was holding the child in her
arms, but her wound is not serious
DR.. w. G. Black vas called to attend
the child, who was 50 weak from the
loss Of blood and the shock that he
did not amputate the foot, as he fear
ed it would not live through the oper-
alton. The parents are said to be
quite rcticcnt over the matter.

TO have cracked ii slfe at Latta have
been caught at Smithiield, n. G. a
special from that place to the Char

suspicion OF being members Of motor

Harding, Waring and Cunningham.
They made their appearance here last

Strikes Cost Money.

The New York state board Of medi-
alton has recently published an annual
report. Up to September; 1903, there
were more strikes, lockouts and labor
troubles in general in New York than
in any previous year, excepting per-
haps the year 1886. During the past
year there were 1872 labor troubles,
involving 1I7,000 employees, and in
consequence 100000 working days
were lost. Owing TO the New York
building trades strikes 81, 037 laborers
we're Idle, the total loss In wages
amounting to nearly seven million
dollars. This Is a terrible showing
as to results Of such labor movements,
and is q very potent argument in ia
vor Of arbitration in such matters.

ROAsTs NEW ENGLAND.
Speech Was I'm Reply to GiIlett's
Strickness on the South.

Recently in the House Mr.. BARTLETT,
OF Georgia, briefly replied to the state
ments of Mr.. Gillett, of Massachu.
setts, on the negro question. He said
Nlr. Gillett had lectured the south for
certain alleged outrages and violations
OF the law. He declared that Massa-
chusettS was not free from the charge
OF the disregard Of the law, even
though that state may claim to be
more refined than others. He cited
an instance where mob in Marion.
Mass, In 1902, had tarred and fe ather.
ed man and woman, and he said,
the perpetrators Of the outrage had
been acquitted and marched through
the streets as heroes. . He read from
statistics OF Massachusetts showing
the number Of "disgraceful" marriages
or whites with negroes in the city of
Boston. If these facts are true. Mr..
BARTLETT said, "the teachings Of the
gentleman from Massachusetts and
those who believe as he does, are
coming like chickens, home to roost."
lie did not believe, he declared, that
the people Of Massachusetts enter
talned nor re-echoed the sentiment Of
Mr. Gillett. While the people of
Massachusetts may have peculiar no.
tlonS as to some things and may be
stern IN their convictions, they at least
have awakened to believe that the
white people of the south are entitled
TO work out this problem In their own
way, 'aS God shall will it." He added
those people would work it out" with
the help Of our brthren of the north,
II we can have it, but If not we will
work it out without their help" To
such as MIR. Gillett, continued Mr..
Burlett, we will say that your opin-
ion and criticism meet with the calm
indifference of our contempt"
MT. Eiliett replying, said he beiiev-
ed that the Caucasian race, as
whole, is vastly superior TO the color
ed race, but he said he did not believe
1t followed that every white man is
superior to every colored man. He de-
clared that he denounced such incl
dents as had been cited in Massachn-
settS as he had those occurring in the
south. He asserted, however, that
the frequency of such occurrences in
tEe south stimulate similar occurrences
all over the country.
The subject was further discussed
by MIR. Crumpacler, Of Indiana, who
said that in the last twenty-five years
5000 citizens Of the United States
who were entitled to the protection,
of the law, had been seized by lawless
mobs and put to death. He believed
that throughout the length and
breadth of the United States the peo-
pie are unit In desiring to have the
law enforced everywhere. Mob law he
declared, is not sectional.
I confess" he said, that the re.
cord of the last twenty-five years will
show that my own state has had its
full share Of these disgraceful sexhibi-,
tions Of lack Of control on the part of
the people," all of which he said,
Illustrated the weakness of human
nature, which was about the same
through the whole country.
