COULON FLOORS
DEFINING FOR THE L
COUNT IN FIFTH

Memphis, Tenn, Dec 2o.-Johnny
Coulon, bantamweight champion. put a
finish to one of the best fights ever
seen in a local arena last night at the
National Athletic club when. in the
fifth round. he sent Earl Dennfng of
Chicago down for the count of nine
with a left to the jaw. Just as the
referee was giving the tenth count
Denning tried to get up, and at the
same time his seconds tossed the
sponge into the ring.
It was a knockout for Coulon. Den
ming was hopelessly out and staggered
as he tried to get his footing when
arising. The Windy City lad put up a
game fight and continuously mixed it
with the champion. landing several
telling blows.
In the third round Coulon sent left
to Denning's jaw that sent him stag
gerfng to the ropes when the bell saved
him. 1t was evident that Denning
was in for a knockout and swung
whenever he had an opportunity. Cou-
Ion forced the fighting and time after
time backed Denning to the ropes
where he battered his face and body
with rights and lefts.

A movement already started by the
fight promoters to have the municipal
medical inspector examine all fighters
before entering the ring may yet save
the game in the city. though there is
but little hope.
Director Clay yesterday issued an
order suspending the license of the
Nonparell Athletic Club because of the
Gardner affair. The ground for this
action is the fact that the appearance
of Gardner in the ring was a direct
violation of the police order requiring
twenty-four hours notice to the De-
partment of Public Safety on all such
bouts, including the names and ad-
| dresses of all contestants.

are not cast iron. In thinning apples
one rule is of universal application
and that is, thin to one in a place.
This will be sufficient with some
varieties of apples. When We grew the
Ben Davis in large quantities, we
found that this rule gave all the thinn-
| ing that was needed but with Missouri
pippin it did not. However, whether
thinning to one in place is sufficient
or not we must do that anyhow and
then if what are left are too thick we
must apply another rule and that is
to Leave no apples nearer than four
inches apart ON the same limb. If two
apples are on different limbs then do
not apply the four inch rule. These
two rules come as near giving a safe
guide in thinning apples as the work
can be done by written directions. II
only one side of a tree has apples CD

| according to the suggestions already
given.
In thinning peachs, the first rule
is to leave but one peach on any limb
not over four inches long, the next
rule is, to thin to one in a place in
all cases and the third rule is thin TO
four inches apart on Limits over four
inches long. Ii good deal of thin
ming is done with the pruning shears,
then these rules may be materially
modified, both IN the case OF apples
and peaches.
shall not here give any specific
rules to use in thinning pears april
cots, plums, prunes and ounces. The
principles underlying the need of
thinning are the same. A fruit grow
er must get good grip on these
principles and apply common sense
in using the rules set forth.
One thing that will confront the
lew beginner in the fruit growing is
the use of ladders. They cannot be
dispensed with except in rare cases
where the trees are small. 1t is I'M
wise to try to have all ladders the
same size. In young peach orchard
or where the trees are kept headed low
great deal Of thinning can be done
from the ground but in all probability
each thinner will need a small step
ladder. We make good many not
more than two feet high. They
should not be heavy. Many of our
thlnners are women and girls and
they cannot handle big, heavy ladders
and should not be asked to do so. For
tall trees-and sometimes these are
unavOidable-we must have tall,
heavy ladders and these should be
used by men.
Where person has small orchard,
he and his family can usually do
their own thinning, but in big or
chards much help must be secured if
the crop is heavy. But whether wo.
men or men are employed there
always should be manager who should
not be Extensively 'bossy" but who
can be about to see that the work is
properly done. Some thinne1s will
get in the habit of stripping off the
fruit by the handfuls if some one is
not near to see how it is done. know

what we called a broken row but this
was Objectional for when the box was
opened it was shown to be short. To
meet these objections we decided to
use apples too big to pack tives and
too small to pack tours and pack
them diagonally across the box. This
makes very neat pack and is in
great favor with the apple dealers.
We do not discard the regular packs
of three, four and five tiers but those
in size between the threes and tours
and between the tours and fves for
the two diagonal packs. 1t is not the
size of the box that causes the use of
the diagonal pack. Let the box be
any size and the demand for the di-
agonal pack will be needed. The idea

That may be so in some localities but
such is not the case with us and
never was. This pack of apples grew
up from necessity when we determin-
ed not to allow different sizes to be
packed in the same box. The custom
once was to so mix sizes that all our
apples could be packed by the use of
what we called the three tier, and
four tier and the five tier pack.
Some apples were too big or too small
to be packed in this way so two apples
too big for four tier we're used and
then two smaller ones and so on and
the whole box marked as four tier.
Serious objection was made to this
mixing of sizes. At first we took ap-

thin them and the apples were all
brought up to a large size, thus prov
ing my theory that tree can bring a
certain amount of fruit up to large
size whether it is scattered all over the
tree or punched in some places very
thickly. We have frequently had peach
trees on which all the peaches were
killed except in the tops where they
we're very thick. We never thin under
such conditions and the peaches
are large and highly colored.

stick. No Such work will never
pay. 1t is big job to go over tree
after tree heavily loaded with fruit
and thin by hand, but it must be done
if we want fruit that is salable or
that will meet the demand for fancy
fruit.
Sometimes we are asked, "HOw
much fruit do you take off the tree ?''
We do not know. We have no rule
for thinning that tells how much to
take off. We must be governed sole
ly by what we leave on. A man once

SUFFERS SPLENDID RECOnlj;

Sumter's claim to being the most
progressive county in this section of
the state has recently had special en-
phasis. It is no news to the people of
the county to learn of its progressive
ness and enterprise, because every cit
izen Of the county is contributing to
that end and knows it first hand. But
it is Justly gratifying for others 10
learn of the advantages to be had in
residing here.
Inc testimony concerning our good
roads given recently by the men who
are making the tour around the state
IS most encouraging. These men, who
have seen the roads of the state as
few other men have, unanimously
award tie first place to Sumter county
for the excellence of its roads over
those of any county in this section or
even over any county in the state, ac-
cording to the reports of some of the
pathfnding party.
No matter how restricted an inter
probation one puts upon these reports.
lit still remains true that Sumter conn
ty has roads of unusual excellence
Not only are the local roads of the
best and most careful structure. bgt
they are kept in excellent condition
constantly. These are conditions If
which the citizens of the county may
well feel proud. The tour around the
state that IS being made by the path
finding party has served to show rs
how high We rank among the counties
OF the state. but it Will also serve to
show the neighboring counties their
deficiency in this particular.
The members CT the Georgia Weekly
Press Association, who were our
guests recently, have seen the adyant-
ages and resources of the county.
Many timely articles of comment have
been penned by the various editors
who came to Americas to the conveD-
ton, and these have appeared from
time to time in the columns of tie

press association saw the excellence
Of our roads. shared in the generous
hospitality OF our citizens and were
given excellent opportunities to see
what it is that makes this county a
favored one for those who wish to es-
tablish homes.
The advantages that will result
from the publicity that has been given
to the city and county recently
through the foregoing agencies should
prove of great worth in the advance
ment of the interests of this section.
Advertising and progress go hand IN
hand in this age of rapid transit and
enlightenment. The valuable public
ity that has been given the city ana
county should be continued by every
agency that is back of our public en-
1erprises. If the splendid work al
ready done is continued, the good re-
suits win be more and more apparent.

NEW YORK NIGHTS.

The attempt at municipal regulation
of the lobster palaces has naturally
provoked a storm Of protest in the
quarter affected. From the point Of
view of proprietors and habitues the
mayor has arbitrarily fnterfered with
a vested Broadway interest and there
is CONSERVATION all the length of the
White Way. New York's right to eat
and drink at all hours and in any
quantity as respects the beverage, has
now for the first time been seriously
attacked.
Certainly the refusal of all-night IL
censes gives a sudden check to a form
of nocturnal gastronomy the develop

been one of the noteworthy features o.
metropolitan life. The consumption

order will no doubt be felt in time in
the vineyards of France and the pot
stills of Scotland.
