NELSON IS CONFIDENT.

Battling Nelson says he will have no trouble in making the specified weight. 130 pounds, for his coming fight with Young Corbett Nelson said yesterday that he was down to 134 pounds al. ready and could take on the remaining four pounds inside of twenty.four hours. q could have made 13O pounds a week ago if had wanted to-" says the Dane, land I will enter the ring next Tuesday night weighing nearer 12S pounds than 13O. Those who think I am upderestimating Corbett to the extent of not preparing myself fully to meet him will be sadly mistaken. As matter of fact I never was trained as l am at present. I have as much at stake in the fight as in my last mill with COrbett. If I fail to win again all that I have done will count for nothing. People will say that I was just lucky, that never could fight and that caught Hanlon. Herrera and Corbett when they were not right. But they will not get the chance, for I'll win on the bit.''
 Nelsn Is so confident that he will defeat Young Corbett that he will back his opinion with a side wager of $5,, 900. Nelson has always been a heavy bettor whenever he fought. He lost about $2,OOO when he was defeated ny Britt and won 5000 when he won over Young Corbett.
 Nelson has placed several commits siOns in the hands of friends with in structions to bet 1t at the best price n1N a ttp0 1n In to e, ite at ( to ,. He would undoubtedly be a greater favorite were it not for the fact that the Denver boxer is con- sidered one of the most dangerous fighters in the world at his weight. Corbett has trained conscitltiOusly and he has been going through his paces with clock-work regularity. The out look is favorable for a slashing battle.

 John l.. Sullivan has been heard from again. He declares that he has engaged Texas Jim" Mccormick, who recently fought Sandy Ferguson at Hot Springs, as his trainer, and that he will begin work at once to fit him. self for fight with James J. Corbett. Furthermore, Sullivan declares that if Corbett, because of sheer fright, re- fuses to accept his challenge. he will look around for another opponent. anticipating a crawl on the part Of Corbett," says John Lawrence, q nave sent a message to Champion Jeffries. asking him to fight me for the heavy. weight championship. am only three years older than Fitzsimmons. who iA still considered factor in the rrize ring. and 1 can reduce to 220 pounds inside of few weeks. l have beei. taking on an average of seven pounds daily for several days by means Of Turkish baths and begin to feel like my old self.

WOULDN'T SWEAR ON BIBLE.
Catawba Juror Also Refused TO Hold
Up His Hand.
(Statesville Landmark.l

The Newton News says that when
the jurors for the second week of
CataWba Superior Court were called
to be sworn Monday 18th, one OF
them declined to place his hand on
the Bible. Judge Council asked the
man if ne objected to taking the oath
and the juror said he did, citing
James, 5-12 But above all things,
my brethren, swear not, neither by
heaven, neither by the earth, neither
by any other oath" etc. The juror
was asked to raise his right hand
and refused Then Judge Council
read the oath of affirmation and told
the juror he must hold up his hand.
He still refused and an intimation
that he would be sent to jail didn't
move him. Judge Council then gave
the juror a lecture and let him go.
The News doesn't give his name.
Some years ago in Iredell Superior
Court a grand juror whose name we
can't recall-and were not sure but
that he was the foreman of the jury
declined to put his hand on the
Bible or raise it in taking the oath.
He simply affirmed with his hands
by his side. The Associate Reform
ed Presbyterians do not swear on the
Book, they simply affirm by holding up
their right hands, and we're of the
opinion that this is the best way
We've never fancied kissing the Bible
or holding to it. That adds nothing
to the sanctity of the oath. But Judge
Council did right to let the Catawba
juror go He was entirely too pious
for jury duty

twentieth of May, 1775.

The ages pass before mine inward
turning eye,
And clear, within my spirits range.
The mightiest visions move and
The armed hosts of old are faring by,
With trumpets' blarc and flash of steel
uplifted high,
And crash of blow on brazen shield
AS thunderous charges sweep the
field.
Immortal bands are these. the shades
Of those
Who fought beside the Aegean Sea.
Or on the Theirs bank, and else,
where free
And freedom-loVing men with Death
were fain to close
The rather than to slave meath Free
doms foes
Anon my spirit darkens and the ages
wheel their flight
Along the dim horizon obscured by
misty night;
The heroic days are past and men
are men no more,
For kings are ever kings and rule the
wide world 0 er.
But soft! and watch Again my Wis
ion clears,
And far and near the dawn's dear
light appears;--
A new world rises on mine eager ken,
And new blood pulses in the veins of
men.
On these wild shores. renascent. Free
dom springs
AS some bold bird that .cleaves mid
air,
Battles in sunlight breathes the heav-
emily rare,
And then toward higher things its
flight upwings.
All! now, not thought of Greclian
nor of Roman band
Might better serve the blood to fire
Than scene i'm Cardinals land
Where patriots dare a rulers ire.
Men of sturdy English breed,
Sons of the Ger unconquered Scot,
How swell your hearts DER this proud
deed
Which will not. can not, be forgot!
Those ringing words, that simple
scroll,
Which erst defied tyrant's power,
Have fixed on Fame's immortal roll,
Thy fathers honored in this hour.
May memories of those sainted sires
Keep Freedoms altar-fires alight,
And manhood rear that aye aspires
To hold the State for God and Right!

buildings will be the first work of the

Spencer is to have a hospital. The
matter has already taken definite
shape, a location having been deter

championed by the physicians of the
town who feel the great need of such
an institution where so many hundreds
of young men away from home are to
be found. Dr. J. w. Young, of Spen-
Ger, the prime factor in the project,
states that the hospital will probably
be open for business by June 18th.

1 do not know when I commenced
drinking intoxicating liquor, but ever
since l can remember | have taken it
and created the thirst. and / con-
tinued to drink till / went to the Kee-
ley Institute at Greensboro, February,
1901. 1t was the best schooling / ever
received. l graduated in three weeks,
lost all thirst for intoxicating liquor.
| came home a sober man. Parents,
for my sake, and for the sake of your
Heavenly Father, do not let your chill
dren drink, And now let me ask all
young and older ones to remember
what the good Lord says will become
of a drunkard He says no drunkard
shall enter his kingdom. Now you see,
if a man leads a drunkard's life on
earth, and misses heaven, he has suf-
fered and has caused others to suffer
all his days, and then dies a lost soul.
Drink blights more happiness than all
other curses on earth Now a word
in regard to my fare at the Institute:
it was So good that / cannot express
my thanks. Everything seemed like
