SUCCESS OF THE MOTOR TRUCK.

A splendid object lesson in the
value OF good roads was given and
the advantageous use that may be
made of the motor truck, supplement-
ing the transportation facilities offered
by the railroads to the great benefit oil
farmers and owners of industrial plants
and mines, not located directly on
rail lines. has been demonstrated in a
striking manner by the movement of
a car of coal from the tracks OF the
Southern Railway at Culpeper to
Sperryyille, distance OF twenty miles,
a three ton motor truck being used
The Is tons of coal were hauled to
the tannery i'm two and half days,
six trips being made In the past 1t
has taken good six mule team two
weeks to accomplish the same work.
The road over which the hauling was
done is a good hard road, but leads
into mountainous country, and has
many long and heavy grades. The
experiment was made by the Z. T..
Smoot & Sons Company which operates
a tannery at Sperryville. So salts
factory were the results that the COM
pany has purchased a truck and Will
hereafter use it in transferring coal
and hides to the tannery and its pro
ducts to the market. The saving OF
time and labor in this case shows what
can be done to reduce the cost OF mOy-
ing farm. mineral and industrial pro
duce to rail or water lines for ship
ment to market. The successful use
of the motor truck 10y the SmoOt tam
merry can doubtless be duplicated in
many parts of the south at the present
time

ex-chanpion beyond doubt unless he old
something. and Jefr went out to do in the
next round. He tore after Corbett. mind
ing the storm of blows that met him, no
more than he would mind so many rain
drops. His left reached Corbett's mid
section in the twenty-third round, and a
moment later his right ended the tight
with short-arm jolt to the jaw.
Jen's next fight of any importance was
with his old opponent. Rubin. After five
rounds Rubin quit. jeff had learned too
much for Rubin between their meetings.
Probably the greatest amount of pun
of it first and last-was in his second fight
with Fitzsimmons. The fight took place
in 1902, and Fitz threw all his cleverness
and strength into the first three rounds.
and while Fitz was fresh. the champion
looked like a novice beside him. But he
could not keep it up, and he could not
seem to worry Jen to any extent. In the
eighth Jeff's right caught the old cham
pion in the stomach, his left went to the
jaw, and Fitzsimmons was classed among
the has-beens for good.
His Last Big Fight.
The second fight with Jim Corbett was
Jeffs last important fight. In that fight
Jeff showed that he had at last learned
the boxing game. He outfought Corbett,
the admitted master of glovework and
footwork. at every point Of the game.
and in the eleventh Corbett went down
for the count This was Corbetts last
appearance in the ring
Just prior to his retirement jeff fought
a fOur-round draw with Jack Munroe at
Butte. 1t was a stay-four-rounds offer.
and Munroe stayed by clinging to JEFF all
the time. Munroe after the fight claimed
he had knocked JEFF down. AS a. matter
of fact. the big man slipped and fell but
Munroe boosted of his alleged triumph
until Jeff's anger was aroused and an
other fight was arranged. Phey met in
San Francisco and Munroe went down
and out in the second round.
