back ethe crool words" Until yester-
day many writer's insisted that Jeffries
was simply advertising" and that he
never had any intention Of meeting the
motor-mad black. But "Jimma da
jeff" went through the program map
ped out for him by his manager, Sam
Berger, without a murmur, and If
there had been a hitch in the pro
ceedings, it would have been john
sons fault. Jeffries signifled his will
ingness to battle on winner-take-all
basis and for a $4,000 side bet He
insisted that the fight should be either
forty-ive rounds or a finish affair.
Nothing unreasonable in his demands.
AS a mater of fact, Jeffries allowed
the negro to have pretty much his
own way. If he is going into the ring
as a sacrifice to public clamor he
didn't act like it yesterday His ac-
ton leads one to believe that he at
least knows that he can regain his old
time form-can fight good enough to
bring back the title to the white race.

THE nIRrHrLAoE OF JACKSON.
jackson Himself Said He Was Born
in South Carolina.

Col. r. w. Simpson, of Pendleton,
writes the Columbia State as follows
with reference to the birthplace of
Andrew Jackson:
read recently statement that
the question of President Jackson'e
native State was still and would per
haps evec remain unsettled.
To-day l read in an old magazine
l found in my fathers library, styled
The Examiner and Journal of Politi-
cal Economy, printed In Philadelphia,
Pa. dated Wednesday, May 2S,1S34,
a proclamation issued by Andrew
Jackson, President of the United
States, addressed to the citizens Of
the State of South Carolina, reason
ing with them on the rights of a
State to nuilify the act of &C agress
which the State had recently passed.
In which proclamation he uses these
words: "Fellow citizens OF my ma
tive Staff, let me not only admonish
you as the first magistrate Of our
common country, not to incur the
penalties of the law" etc.
1t seems to me when Jackson thus
speaks Of South Carolina as his ma
tive State there should be no further
controversy about the question.

TWO HORSES KILLED.
Stepped on Ground that was Heavily
Charged with Electricity.

Anderson. July 21.-Two horses
were killed at the Orr Mills this
morning in g. most peculiar manner,
by treading on ground which had be-
come heavily charged with an etec-
trio current.
EARLY this morning horse be-
longing to J. H. Evans, the South
Main street grocer was passing in
front Of Anderson's Pharmacy, when
1t keeled over as dead as mackerel.
A crowd quickly gathered, and about
the time they had decided on the
cause of the animal's death Prue
SHELTON came along driving horse
belonging to Ligon & Ledbetter. He
was told to stop, but before he real
lied the danger he drove onto the
same spot of ground and his horse,
too, fell dead.
1t appears that the electric wires
leading into the pharmacy had be-
come crossed in some way. This
lead heavy charge of current, about
1,1OO volts, into the ground wire
leading from the store. There Is q
little drain running across the street
at this point, fed by the waste from
the soda fountain, and as water Is a
good conductor 1t soon had the
ground along there charged with
electric current sufficient to kill a
horse.
Several bystanders who cano up
at the time were shocked, but not
hurt. 1t takes much heavier charge
Of electricity TO kill a man than 1T
takes to kill horse.

Train Hits SurIy; Four Killed.

Columbus, Miss, July 22.%-A Mo-
bile and Ohio freight train backed
into a two-seated surrey in which
were seated Mrs. j. M. Holloway,
her sister, Mrs. George Myers of
Millport, and two daughters, aged
and 5 years respectively, as the
vehicle was going over q crossing
near the water tank this morning at
6:30, and all four occupants were
instantly killed.
j. M. Holloway, prosperous
young farmer, who lives five miles
east Of Columbus, was driving the
team just before the accident, but
escaped unhurt.
Mrs. Myers was Mrs. Holloways
sister, and with her two daughters
had been visiting at the Holloway
home. They were coming to CO.
lumbus to take the Z o'clock train
for Mrs. Myers home, Millport, Ala.
The tragedy was caused by the
trains suddenly backing so the en-.
gine could take position at the tank.
Holloway saw he lacked time to
cross the track, and jumped to back
the carriage and let the caboose
strike the horses instead of the sur
rey.
