SULLIVAN SHOULD
LET DAILY ALONE
Their Fourth Meeting To-
morrow Not Interesting.
USEFUL ONLY AS GUIDE
VIII Give Some Line on Washington
Boys Chances With
Corbett.
USEFUL ONLY AS GUIDE

Kid Sullivan and Tommy DAILY are
90 have their fourth bout OF fifteen
rounds in Baltimore tomorrow night.
1t Is 10 be hoped that after this set-tO
they VIII stay away from each other,
for their meetings are becoming as
monotonous as the reports OF Japanese
victories.
On two Of the previous occasions Sui
itvan was the victor. The other bout
went to DAILY because Sullivan was In a
sadly stale condition as a result of haV-
ing just returned from the coast, where
ne went as sparring partner for Joe
Cans. when Cans had his merry little
match with Jimmy Britt and won on
a foul. Whether or not it was because
OF the Kids condition, it is a fact that
in this bout. which he won, DAILY sue
ceeded in knocking Sullivan down and
nearer out than any other fighter has
been able to do. It was only the exer-
else OF the greatest amount OF will
power that the Washington boy was
able to get on mis- feet after the count
OF nine.
Chances With Corbett.
The match tomorrow night before the
Eureka Club IN Germania Maennerchor
Hall VIII be interesting chiefly as a
means OF giving the sports a line on
Sullivan's condition and his probable
chances with Young Corbett It is
probable that he viii meet Corbett in
the next couple OF months, and If the
Kid IS in the shape hts friends think he
is, and Corbett has not improved over
the form he displayed in the bout last
Friday with Joe Tipman, the Washing
tonian viii have more than an even
chance OF winning.
Sullivan has trained in Washington
with Sammy Harris, and viii not go
to Baltimore until tomorrow morning.
The bout VIII begin earlier than the
the Corbett-Tipnan affair and the
Washington rooters expect TO return on
the u:10 train from Camden station.

snapper back, was particularly effective
in boxing his man, Westerns second
touchdown being made directly through

way across Centrals territory to the

spinning to Benedict. who was downed

the ball on her 35-yard line and started
steady assault on Centrars tackles
which carried the ball straight across
the goal line without losing possession.
Steady March to Goal.
After the second kick-ofr the ball was
near the center Of the field until West

touchdown. With Worthington and
Harrington. Thomas, Phelan. and Daw-
son carrying the ball Muir drove the
offensive machine into every position
in CentraFs line until the ball rested
on the last 5-yard chalk line. Central
braced, but Captain Phelau found a gap
and shot through for the last touch
down.
Central ran Western off her feet for
the first few minutes OF the second per-

From the Daily Item, March 3.
The much discussed case Of D. G.
Zeigier VS.. Mrs. Nettye Minor is now
being beard before Magistrate Il.
Hardy, Jr., and q jury of five
Up to this time only one witness
has been put on the stand; the plain
tiff in this action, Mr.. D. u. Zeig-
ler. His testimony brought forth the
following facts upon which he bases
his cause Oh action:
At the suggestion of Mr.. D. A.
Minor, Mr. Zeigler was requested to
consult with Mrs. Minor in regard to
drawing fplans and specifications for
the proposed residence of Mrs. Minor.
After becoming familiar withthe ideas
of Mrs. Minor he submitted plans
for a house which were accepted by
her and then ne proceeded to get con-
tracts submitted for the approval OF
the defendant. According to the
plaintiffs statement, Mr.. Minor re-
quested that the building contract be
drawn in his name, as be did not care
for everyone to know his business.
A suitable contract was arranged for
and was drawn up between ID. A.
Minor and Contractor Kavanaugh.
in which the latter agreed to build
the residence according to Mr.. Zeig-
ler's plans and specifications for a
price not in excess of the amount to
which Mr.. Zeigler was instructed to
make his plans conform.
Mr.. Zeigler, having completed his
part of the contract, applied to Mr..
D. A. Minor for payment, which was
refused, consequently the suit was
brought. This is Mr.. Zeigler,s side
of the case; Mt. Minor has not yet
been heard. and it is doubtful if the
Jury get the case before late this

STANDARD COTTON WAREHOUSE.
Hardy & Co. are Preparing TO Erect a
Large Fireproof Warehouse for Stor-
age OF Cotton.

Mr.. Fl. J. Hardy, of Hardy & Go.
states that his firm is having plans
drawn for Standard Cotton Storage
Warehouse with q capacity of 1000
bales, which they expect to build in
the near future. The warehouse will
conform to insurance regulations in
every particular and will be as nearly
freproof as it is possible to make it.
The warehouse Will be situated ad-
jacent to the railroad tracks and near
the depots.
Mr.. Hardy did not fix a date for
the beginning Of work, but said
that it would be built soon.
AS stated, the warehouse will have
a capacity for storing 1000 bale OF
cotton. When the cotton is placed in
storage negotiable warehouse RECEIPTS
will be issued, which will be good
collateral in bank or elsewhere.
The warehouse charge will be % cents
per bale and this charge will include
the insurance on the cotton.
MI Hardy stated that his firm ex-
pected to arrange to lend money to
the owners of cotton in storage IN the
warehouse up to 80 per cent of the
market value of the cotton and that
the rate of interest on such loans
would be Z per cent.
When the warehouse is in operation
the cotton situation will be materially
improved for the farmers who desire
to hold cotton, and they will De more
Independent of the market manipula-
tors than ever before If the price is too
low during the harvest season the
farmer can store his cotton at nomi-
nal cost and wait for higher prices. If
he needs money to pay his debts be
can borrow sufficient on his cotton to
discharge his obligations and sit down
and wait for the people who need
the cotton to pay him fair price for
it. The warehouse will be a good
thing for the farmers of Sumter coun-
ty and will be decided help to the
market, for it will be an inducement
to farmers to bring their cotton here
for sale. They will not be forced to
sale at any prizes offered or haul the
cotton back home, but can store it
at nominal expense and wait for a
better market.

effect that money had been borrowed
from the association by Mr.. Minor for
