Hollis Lanier and Frank Cato, Jr.,
found a black Napoleon of Finance"
a day or two ago who promptly held
them up for the last penny they had
and only regretted that it was not more
despite their predicament.
The young men were motoring out
near Americas and went into the mud
as others have done since the recent
heavy rains began.
With the car mired to the hubs, it
was only a case of wait Soon a wa
gon driven by a coon of parsonic mien
came along and witnessed the distress
signals hoisted
How much will you charge to pull
our car out of the mud" the command
er of the buzz wagon asked.
Calmly surveying the situation, the
negro agreed to do the Samaritan stun
tor $3.50 His terms were accepted
with such celebrity as to cause him t
hesitate. Boss" he finally said, $
can't tech that job for less than So.
1t was a holdup good and proper
but there was no alternative. Digginj
into their pockets the boys found a to
tai of $2.15, and the black muletee
compromised for that amount.

CHEHAW MEMORIAL sent
YESTERDAY TO LEESBURG
Granite Boulder Shipped from
Local Plant

Yesterday the granite boulder which
haw memorial to be erected at Che
baw in Lee county was sent from the
local marble works, where it has been
in process of completion for some
time, to Leesburg.
The shipping of the boulder from
here to Leesburg was delayed some
time on account of adding a few fin
isbing touches to the work, but there
was no need of haste, as the bad
weather for several days past would
have delayed the completion of the
work at Leesburg anyway. AS the
boulder will probably not reach its
destination before today or tomorrow
it will not be transferred to ChehaU
before the opening of the week
AS this part OF the monument alone
weighs nearly five tons, there may
be some difficulty experienced in get
ling it transferred to Chehaw, which
is five miles distant from Leesburg.
The roads are heavy now on account
of the recent rains, so that a delay of
several days may now be interposed
in order to let the road get in better
chape.
The concrete foundation or pedes-
tai upon which the granite boulder
is to stand, has already been made
ready to receive the boulder, so that
the matter of completing this part of
the work will be brief, as soon as the
boulder is transferred to the spot
where it is to stand. The program of
the unwilling exercises, which will
occur later, is now in process of be-
ing completed.

Thomas Puts Attell
in "Has Been" Ranks

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-the bout be-
tween Abe Attell and Harry Thomas,
the English crack. at Madison Square
Garden last night had two results: At
tell Is now in the has-been class and the
fight game in New York seems to be
on a sounder basis.
From the tap OF the gong in the first
round Abe put forth his best efforts to
retrieve his somewhat damaged reputa-
ton. He fought cleverly and showed
that he was after Thomas scalp every
minute. AS the bout progressed. how
ever. the former champion slowed down
perceptibly. while his opponent, encour-
aged by Abe's waning vitality. put on
extra steam and wound up with a deci-
sive victory.
1T was. in my opinion, a pure and
simple boxing exhibition and a contest
that might be conducted in any respect
able household or in any reputable in
stitution devoted to this branch of sport.
If boxing is to be conducted under the
law on this II will be conducive to the
development of athletics and at the
same time uphold the manhood of the

Made a Good Getaway.
At the start the Nationals looked like
easy winners. They jumped upon young
with all feet and hands, scoring three
runs in no time. Moellers two-base
drive TO center gave indication OF what
was coming to Boehler. Foster rolled
to Louden. putting Moeller on third,
from where he tailed on Milan's drive
to right. Gandiis hot single to right
put Milan on third and Laportes single
to left brought him over. Gandil

Engle's head and Eddie Onslow scored

The sixth was bad for Boehler and
may mean his return to the tall and

single to the same pocket, bringing
both runners across the plate. The

on Veach's toss to the plate and went

Henry's drive to left put Shanks over
with the third run of the inning. When

Then came the real fun and the de-
