BATTLING NELSON'S VICTORY
1t Was n Hard-WOn Battle, i'm Which
Physical Endurance T~rinmphed
Over Scientific skill.

COlma, Cal, Sept. 11.-Oscar Battling
Nelson, Of H~egeswich, H.. wOn the
white lightweight championship of the
world from James Edward Britt in the
eighteenth round of a desperately-cOn-
tested battle. Ii was a clean knockout,
administered during a fierce mix-up in
Britt's corner that resulted in the final
ity. 1t came so suddenly that it was
entirely unexpected. Ire end came
with a swift left drive, followed in a
flash by a right swing to the jaw, which
sent Britt t o the ropes. and at the
count of nine he rolled over on his
hands and was unable to rise. Referee
Eddie Graney then awarded the deci-
sion to Nelson.
AS far as Nelson was concerned, it
was a smuggling match from the opening,
and he won through superior ability to
endure punishment. At no time during
the fight did Britt's blows stop his ag-
g~Tessiveness, while Britt's efficiency
was seriously impaired on two occasions
during the battle.

UNEARTHED A POT OF GOLD
Find of n White Man and a Negro
In south CarOIina-The Negro
BuncOed Out Of His share.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 13.-An iron
pot containing $4,000 in gold coin,
the newest of which is lis years old,
was found on the farm of James Riv-
ers, near Chesterfield, S. c., by Tyler
Teal. a white laborer, and Will Ed
wards, a negro, while engaged recently
in digging a ditch.\ The pot was car
ried to a point two miles away n
buried near a creek bank. When, two
days later, the finders went after the
pot, it had mysteriously disappeared.
The g charges the white man with
having appropriated and hidden the
money from him, while Teal declares
the story is all a joke and no pot was
unearthed. Detectives have secured evil
dence confirming the discovery of the
hidden wealth, but thus far no trace OF
the gold has beeen found.

HONEST PHYSICIAN

It is a mistake TO assume that physi-

curative properties of anything else

who seek to heal with as little use OF
drugs as possible and by the use Of
correct food and drink. A physician

substituting English Breakfast Tea.
"The tea seemed to help me at first,
but in time the old distressing symp-
toms returned, and / quit it also, and
tried to use milk for my table bever-
age. This / was compelled however to
abandon speedily for while it relieved
