FLYNN IS STRONG
OFFENSIVE MAN
SULLIVAN FORCED TO USE RING
CRAFT
Colorado Boy Lacks Nothing but
cIeverness and Proves Himself
Capable Of Taking Much
Punishment

II nothing else, the past week brought
another pugilistic aspirant strongly to
the front when Jim Flynn of Colorado
received a decision over Jack Twin"
Sullivan. Sulivan's defeat hardly loses
him any of his prestige as boxer and
fighter. 1t was too plainly evident that
he was Flynn's master at ring craft,
losing because of rough tactics. 1t is
strongly to be regretted that Sullivan
resorted to the elbo wmovement, as
there was no reason for It, He was
clever enough to win decision without
recourse to side issues.
A peculiar feature of the battle was
that sullivan afer the decision had
been rendered against him did not ex-
hibt any animosity toward Referee
Herget From the second round Irwin"
continued swinging his elbow to Flynn's
face, apparently caring little for the
Kisses which were accorded him.
Flynn, while making a valiant battle
and showing Improvement over his af-
fair with Burns, has yet to gain the
cieverness which would place him in
line for match with Jack O'Brien or
Burns.
The Colorado boy possesses a very
awkward manner of mixing-awkward
for his opponent. He should develop
very effective shift, Judging from the
Once he worked it successfully Friday
evening and sent Twin" bounding to
the ropes.
Sullivan Is certainly one of the clever
est men seen in a local or for that mat
ter any ring, and had 1t not been for
his ability to stall the rushes of Flynn
there might have been a different tale
to tell.
Flynn fought exactly similar to Tom
my Burns as against Jack O'Srien,
meeting, however. n man who did not
run away. Sullivan, with the excep-
ton of the seventeenth round, was not
in trouble, and the blow which stag
gered him did no lasting damage.
Flynn proved one thing Enthusiastically,
and that was his ability to receive pun
ishment. Sullivan flogged him unmerci-
fully at times and the drives did not
lack steam. Flynn, however, has
body of castiron and when he goes
down it will probably be blows to the
fece which send him out. Burns caught
him on the head and the most effective
shots of Sullivan were those which
recahed the head
Already there has been talk of re-
matching the men and no doubt such
card would create widespread attrac-
ton.
Just what sort of men New Zealand
is sending out may be decided Janu-
airy IS, when Jack Cox, middleweight
champion of his country hooks up with
George Brown. who defeated the Turk
for second time Friday night.
Cox is of a peculiar build, yet his
shoulders may be observed as closely
knit, betokening strong hitting power

Conscience Was His Guide.

Nh. M. B. RADON, who was appointed
on the dispensary board after the
adoption of the new law, was in Cam
den Saturday and announced that he
would resign as a member of the
board lust as soon as he could get a
settlement, and the books checked
M. and that he would cast his vote
AGAINST the dispensary. This was
particularfyn aanly act. He allowed
his conscience Is be his guide, and as
the honest Christian man he processes
to be, he has taken this step. We
cannot commend him too highly for
it. Would that Others would do ike
wise. Being connected with: the dis
pensary as he was his action is all the
more comfortable. 1t shows that
he has the courage of his convictions.
Here, hand shake again, Names, old
fellow, we always liked you, but we
think more Of you now than ever be-
fore. May your shadow never grow
less!-Wateree Messenger.
We cannot refrain from commend
ing MI. Rabon's action. Certainly,
he is above the average. How many
men on dispensary boards in South
Carolina are guided by their con-
science9 Here is q man that has
heretofore been an advocate of the
sdispensary, but when he became &C
quainted with the workings of the in
stitution, and protesting to be a true
Christian, drops out and will now
vote the prohibition ticket. As much
to say that, in his opinion, no man
can be a Christian and handle liquor
in any form. Mr.. RADON deserves
manner Of praise.

It is indeed refreshing to note the
efforts that are being made by the
ministers of the gospel throughout
the State to suppress lawlessness. Es-
pecially is this the case with the min
listers Of Charleston, where strong
efforts are being made to stop the
sale of whiskey on Sunday and to
stop all manner of crime, which has
been a menace to the goodmorals of
that city since the Inauguration of
the dispensarylaw. The time has
arrived in South Carolina for the
ministers and newspapers to. join
hands, and assal l~awlessness where
eyeraound, regardless Of b exposition
occupied by the parties concerned,
and unless they do this they had bet
ter give way to another who has the
mafihcod 10 do his duty. Flowery
sermons viii not bring about the
change; il takes somsthing besides
beautiful language and fights of ora
tory to reach the depths Of sin in
these days of graft, when every man
Is hooking out for self and self alone.
We trust that every minister of God
in the State win follow the example
OF those who have 'tbroken the ice,"
and keep up the fight until our laws
are respected, and the violators
brought 20 bay.
