KID GARVEY OF DENVER
AND HERB HAHN GO
SEVEN ROUNDS TO
A SQUARE DRAW
RETURN MATCH HAS BEEN AR.
RANGED FOR XMAS DAY AND
BOTH MEN ARE CONF.
DENT OF WINNING IN.
SIDE TEN ROUNDS

Last Friday afternoon boxing match
was rather suddenly arranged between
Herb Hahn and Kid Garvey. An arena
was cleared in vacant room of the
Daugherty building and at 4 o'clock the
gong rarg-that is, the timekeeper hit
"Skinny" Baths dinner triangle belt
with the dinger that last winter made
Stephens wounds of Internal memory.
AS the men met and spared for an
opening they appeared about equal in
reach, but the fearful disparity in weight
was at once apparent, Hahn being at
least 40 pounds the heavier. In pro-
gress of the work the difference in their
types appeared more and more. Garvey
had speed and cleverness and Herb had
strength and weight. The seven rou.ds
were torn off at good fast clip and the
bout was an excellent exhibition.
We all know what Hahn can do and
may form an opinion of Garvey from
this performance.
The bout was a good square draw and
both men feel confident of winning a
return match in the event one can be
arranged, Since Friday the excitement
attendant on opening our annual boxing
season has continued, with prospect of o
fair winters sport. The matchmakers
and scrappers hereabouts have buzzed
ever since like hive vi bees that has
been kicked, trying to arrange match
for Christmas day.
Since the above was written the prin-
cipals in the former match have agreed
to ten round contest on the afternoon
of Christmas day, the entire receipts,
after expenses have been paid, to go to
the winner. The fight will be pulled
off in the afternoon so the room may be
cleared for the dance in the evening and
will be given under the auspices of the
w. O. w.
Both men have established training
quarters, and betting is about even.

the Americans was twenty, among the killed
being Colonel Williams, of South Carolina,
who, with his adherents, had joined the expe-
dition just before the battle.
Colonel Lee adds: "Although Clarke failed
in the reduction of Augusta, his attempt led
to the destruction of Ferguson; and with it
to the present relief of North Carolina"
General Lee also says that CORVALLIS, who
was making a victorious march through
North Carolina, being thus deprived Of more
than one-fourth Of his army, was compelled
by this battle to retreat to Camden, in South
Carolina, and that General Leslie was COM
PEELED to abandon the invasion Of Virginia,
which depended for success upon the co-opera-
ton of Corvallis Thus this great victory,
among the most brilliant of the whole war,
entirely by Southern militia, saved two
States, North Carolina and Virginia, from
invasion. 1t also gave a resting spell to the
army that had been beaten at Camden, and
enabled it to recuperate and get ready to
take the field once more And yet some Of the
Northern school histories which are candi-
dates for Southern favor do not even mention
this important battle, and not one of them
refers at all to Clarke's bold expeditions I'M
dertaken at a time when British garrisons
held every important post in South Carolina
and Georgia.
When, after the battle of Guilford Court
house. General Nathaniel Greene advanced
into South Carolina Colonel Clarke became
as active in Georgia as were Marion and Sum-
ter in the sister State. In May, 1871, Clarke
appeared again before Augusta and began a
siege Of the place. General Pickens, of South
Carolina, hearing Of Clarke's prospects, has
tened to his assistance and General Greene
sent Colonel afterwards generaD Henry Lee
with his legion to aid in the reduction Of this
important post. On the 9Th day of June
Colonel Brown surrendered the British garri-
son to the combined forces Of Pickens, Lee
and Clarke. The Americans speedily regained
all Georgia except the city of Savannah,
which was not yielded to them until the 18th
of July, 1882.
No school history should be so much
abridged as to convey a wrong impression to
it's readers. Such is the case with any book,
which, in treating Of our Revolutionary his
tory dismisses the war in Georgia with the
statement that toward the close of ITS "the
British captured Savannah and Georgia was
soon subiugated" Let us see to it that
Georgia history is set right.-Joseph T. Derry

We are told by Gen. Henry Lee, the father
of our own Robert Lee, that Notwithstanding
the defeat of Ashe at Brier Creek and the
repulse Of the allied armies before Savannah
in October, 1879, "the upper country Of Geor-
gia, the object of the contending generals,
rested in possession of the United States Au-
gusta and all the upper country Of Georgia
remained in possession of the Americans until
after the fall Of Charleston in May, 1880.
During all this time (about one year and
half) Augusta was the capital of Georgia.
This does not look like such a speedy subju-
cation Of Georgia After the fall Of Charles
ton, the British speedily overran both South
Carolina and Georgia, and a British garrison
under Colonel Browne, again occupied Au-
gusta. Even then the Georgia patriots kept
up the semblance of a State government at
Heard's Fort, now Washington, in Wilkes
county. A large number Of people in both
Carolina and Georgia submitted to what
seemed to them their inevitable fate and the
two States seemed to be entirely conquered.
But bands of patriots under their favorite
leaders fed into North Carolina and Ken
lucky (the latter at that time a part Of Vir-
Sln1a) ana Ln0ro awaited d ldVOfdOl0 OppOi-
tunlty to return to their respective States and
renew the struggle. General Henry Lee, in
his history Of the "War in the Southern De-
partment says that ''among the most viz
tuous and distinguished citizens Of Georgia, "
who fed to the West, was Colonel Elijah
Clarke who employed his time and mind IN
preparing sufficient force to enable him, on
the first opportunity, to return and renew the
contest" General Lee then tells us how,
after the battle Of Camden, which completely
broke up the regular Southern army, and after
the dispersion Of Sumter s force, Clarke had
the audacity to enter Georgia with seven hun
dred men and attack the British garrison at
Augusta. Clarke captured the British artll-
lery, hemmed in the garrison and was upon
the point Of capturing it when the arrival Of
Cruger with reinforcements for the enemy
compelled him to raise the siege and retreat.
But General Lee tells us that Clarke's expedi-
ton had led to the assembling Of large bands
of rifemen from Kentucky, Virginia and
North Carolina, who on their march to
Augusta when they heard of Clarke S repulse.
Hearing that Colonel Ferguson had been
charged by CORVALLIS with the task Of inter
cepting Clarke's command, and with the
additional task of rallying the forces to the
royal standard, these bold rifemen abandoned
their march upon Augusta and turned on Fer
guson. Under their favorite chieftains, Camp
bell, Cleveland, Williams, Sewer and Shelby,
they won the brilliant victory Of King S

GEORGIA HEROES WHO FIGURED IN
MAKING HER REVOLUTION
AIRY HISTORY.
The Luster of Their Services Dimmed by
Northern Historians-A Brilliant Chap
ter of Georgian History

It is an unfortunate thing for the you'll cf
the South that most Of the histories studied III
our schools and most Of the story books for
the young have been written by Northern
authors I say this not from any prejudice
against Northern writer's or their books. They
have been a great blessing by imparting to
the children Of our country information which
but for these Northern authors and books they
would have never received But if from the
beginning Southern writers had entered this
same field, the thrilling incidents Of our own
colonial and revolutionary history would be
as familiar to our people as are the events
that transpired in the New England and mid
die States, to which such prominence has been
given by writers from the North. Many
Georgia boy can tell all about the exploits of
Israel Putnam, who knows little nothing Of
Elijah Clarke. He knows from the books
that he has read or studied that New England
bore an honorable part in the war of indie
pendence but he sees no reference in them to
the brave deeds of the Georgia patriots and
bushes for the apparently insignificant part
played by his own State at this trying period

Savannah, and that Georgia was soon sub
iugated This is all that is told of the des-
perate fight which Georgia made, and of the
heroic part borne by our State in the mighty
struggle for freedom.
The fact is that the Georgia patriots were
always ready to strike blow for their coun-
try. The following incident is one not men
toned in any Of the Northern school histories:
Tn March, 1776, some loyalist planters, in
defiance Of an act Of Congress forbidding
intercourse with the British dominion, freight
ed eleven merchant vessels with rice in the
Savannah river and prepared for sea voy-
age To help them in this some British war
ships at the mouth Of the river moved up and
threatened Savannah. The militia of Geor-
gia, under Colonel Mcintosh assisted by the
Carolinians under Colonel Bull, dislodged the
enemy, burned three of the merchant vessels
and dismantled six. Had some New England
port been the scene Of this exploit it would
have found mention in every school history Of
the United States.
When Savannah fell in December, 1778, the
British did move northward and take Augusta,
and the State seemed to be conquered But
the very next month the Carolinians, under
Colonel Pickens, assisted by the Georgians,
under Colonels John Dolly and Elijah Clarke,
won the brilliant victory at Kettle Creek, in
Wilkes county, in consequence of which the
enemy abandoned Augusta and retreated to
