SUPT. LEV E RETT TO MAKE CANVASS FOR ADDITIONAL
 ELECTRIC SERVICE.

Although the reports of Superin- tendent E. V. Leverett show that the business of the municipal light plant is growing at a remarkably rapid rate, the new water and light com mission has authorized him to make a canvass of the city for the purpose of increasing the consumption of electric current. Mir. Leverett will be relieved of some of his office du- ties for a few weeks and will en- deavor to induce patrons of the sys- tenn to install more electric fans, flat irons and other devices. About 50 additional meters will be installed for consumers now on flat rates.

CENTRAL COLLEGE
 FUND IS GROWING
ENTHUSIASM IS SHOWN
GIFTS AGGREGATING $1.850 AN NOUNCED AT LAST NIGHTS
 MEETING.

Enthusiasm ran high at the Bap- tlst church last night. Although the meeting was not advertised until the afternoon, a splendid crowd assem- bled, attracted by the wish to see how the fund for Central College had grown, and also the expection of a breezy speech by Will D. Upshaw, the Georgia cyclone-on crutches.' 2 Nobody got the dollar bill that was offered to the man who went to sleep, and at the rally to be held tonight the premium to the man who goes to sleep has been increased to $2. The man from Georgia" spoke on "En- thusiasm in Good Things" and kept the crowd rolling with laughter for the first ten minutes, and then for the last half of his brief but stirring speech he portrayed that nobility of character and citizenship which comes from big-hearted giving, to any noble cause. Rev. John Jeter Hurt made the gratifying announce ment that, although they had not yet presented the subscription list, one gift of 5000, another of $500, anoth- CT of $250 (this from a young man) "iio PAO" Iioii q youlS ldtly III lOWn.
 He said he expected to make an interesting announcement about the plans and also put on the black board tonight at the church the names of the contributors up to date.
 The meeting tonight will come within an hour-8:15 to 9:15-and will be lively from start to finish.
 Rev. James Gordon Harris, educa- tlonal secretary from Little Rock, is here to help push the campaign.
 The students of both Ouachita and Henderson Brown colleges are still talking enthusiastically about the visit of William D. Upshaw, who is known as the Georgia Cyclone,' ac- cording to report from Arkadel- phia.
 It is universally agreed that his speeches were the most inspiring chapel events of the college year, and when he left Henderson, Brown Sat urday morning to take the train for Conway, President Crowell led the student body in giving the Georgian the chautauqua salute.

BROWNS CROSSING.

Some of our farmers have worked their corn over the second time and It looks well, considering the cold weather of 10 days ago.
 some early planted cotton died and had to be replanted, but some has been worked out and the hot weather is making it grow.
 We wish every one of your corre- spondents could send in report like your Naylor correspondent did last week.
 More corn, peas, sorghum and kaf- fir corn, forage of any kind and less poor stock in our county. The farm CTS make great mistake in not rais- ing feed enough to supply home de- mands.
 Broom corn is $1OO a ton, so we hope our farmers will raise enough broom corn to supply our home fac tory at Conway. That is the way to get factories-supply them with the raw material.

McCarty's Opponent in New

LOS ANGELES. Cal, December 30
Big Al Palzer. with ten-ounce gloves on
his hands and a leather ear protector
strapped about his touseled head, han
died his sparring partners yesterday after
noon very much after the fashion Of q
grizzly bear mauling couple Of playful
cubs.
Fully 5000 spectators were banked
about the Vernon ring for the show
Those who came to criticise went away
empty handed, as Palzer's work was of a
nature to battle the shrewdest of OBJ
servers.
Obviously Al was holding himself il
check, just as he has done since the
first day he put on the gloves. That he
is capable of toying with his campmates
Al McCluskey and Charley Horn. goes
without saying. 1t would appear that
neither man could last three minutes be-
fore Palzer were the latter to ''cut loose, "
but this Al is careful not to do.
HE reminds me of Jeffries a great
DEAL" remarked Charley Eyton. the man
who is to referee the heavyweight contest
at Vernon next Wednesday afternoon
Hes so strong that he doesn't dare cut
loose
Palzer tugged at the weights and
knuckled the punching bag for the better
part of thirty minutes before the gloves
were brought out.
Horn was Palzer's first opponent. and
before the opening round was twenty
seconds old Al lunged out with a right
that caught Charley square on the point
The little fellows knees bent under him
and he looked to be badly hurt. Al
quickly huged him to his broad chest and
wrestled for several moments until Horn
mumbled. "All right
From this point on PalZer was eX-
tremely careful with his jabs, and the
three rounds amounted to nothing more
than so many minutes of shadow boxing
so far as Palzer was concerned.
In boxing with McCluskey the Iowa
heavyweight had better chance to warm
up. McCluskey is clever boxer, and
Palzer seemed to have less respect fol
his sparring partners feelings. He rat
tied Macs head several times. and there
We're moments when one punch would
have brought the bout to an end.

Indications Point to Successful

INTEREST CENTERS IN

Two Old Rivals Likely to Have
Exceptionally Strong
Teams.
BY n. C. BYRD.

Track athletics should boom in the
south this year to a greater extent than
for a long time. There appears
every reason for believing that there will
be more and closer competition among
the several institutions in the section
than In years, all the schools now being
engaged in making preparations which
far exceed those of the previous season.
Georgetown, if it's present activities
count for anything, should figure even
higher in track and field sports than 1t
did last winter and spring. The Blue
and Gray is not only making arrange
ments to enter all the big indoor meets
during the season, but is also fixing mat
tiers SO that it can send representatives
to the outdoor games.
Georgetown has material enough to ac-
complish much. Last winter it won two
meets and now 1t appears to be much
more strongly fortified than then. Not
only has 1t greater array of talent in
the same events, but it will be generally
represented. For instance, in the 1912
season the Blue and Gray did not have
really capable distance man; this year
1t has two. Then it did not have a high
jumper who could be depended on to ac-
complish much; now a man will wear
its colors who will go over six feet a
height which will win in nearly every
meet held in this section unless handi-
capDed too much

prominent professional golfers, will visit
America again next fall. and will make

east. Duncan has a busy season mapped
out on British links and is planning to
reach this country in September for a

Two years ago Duncan came to Amer
lea and played in twenty or more matches,
winning most of them and at the same
time visiting some of the best American
courses, including Myopia and the Ma
tional golf links Of America down at Shin
necock Hills. At the time Of his last visit
considerable interest was aroused in his
style Of play. He is a dashing player,
taking scarcely any time to address the
ball. He walks up to the ball and makes
his shots in rapid-fire order, and is par
ticularly quick on the greens.

Virginia Making Preparations.

Down at Virginia preparations are be-
ing made for another active year While
1t is reported that the squad does not
look as promising in many ways as it
has at times, it, nevertheless. looks strong
enough for the prediction that the Orange
and Blue will not be far behind when the
points are summed up at the end of the
meets to be held here and in other places
in the winter and spring
Virginia. although it lost two good men
at the beginning of this year, still has its
two mainstays representing it-Todd and
Cooke. Cooke especially is rated very
high. His trainer thinks SO much of him
that he has even gone to the extent of
saying that he would be able to give
John Paul Jones the race Of his life at
mile if trained especially for that event
That Washington and Lee expects to ac-
complish more on the track this year
than 1t ever has is evidenced by the fact
that 1t has Joined the intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association in order that it may send
men to the Intercollegiate next spring
The Lexington institution has never done
great deal on the track, and last spring
was one of its first real attempts to
grasp honors for the section. Several
men who represented 1t did exceptionally
well. although it did not finish first in the
meet
