Fish Fry

A select party of eight spent last
Friday on the banks of Cypress at the
Purviance mill at fish fry.
An abundance of fine fish cooked to
a kings taste, with all the other
things which go along to make big
feast, was enjoyed to the limit. All
voted one of the most pleasant out
ings ever enjoyed. Fons Carothers
played skeleton man until after din

First District S. S. Convention at
Sulphur Springs.

1t was our pleasure in company
with j. w. Prather, President of the
County S. S. Convention, to attend
the First District Convention at Sui
phur Springs last Sunday. The day
was pleasant and cool enough to find
the ride pleasant.
j. W. 7. Derryberry is president of
that district and presided Cover the
body with his usual Vim and zeal.
Promptly at 10 a. m. the meeting
was called to order as per published
program. The singing was fine led by
S. l.. Robinson, who is quite an effic-
lent leader. President Derryberry
is also fine leader and led in several
selections.
Rev. j. W. Wallace opened with
devotional exercises. A number of
speakers assigned on the program
were absent, but their places were
filled by others. A number of topics
were ably discussed.
Mrs. Lutte Alternately read paper
on the relation of temperance to the
Sunday School work, which was listened
to with marked interest. J. w. Prath-
er and Others submitted a few rex
marks on the subject of temperance
and the evils of the liquor traffic.

1t really seems from the pro-
tests going to Congress from the
cotton factories and other indus
tries of the South that they are
stronger for protective tariff
than the long favored industries
of the North. 1t is paradoxica!
that the democratic stronghold
Of the South should turn to their
old enemy and become protec-
tionists. 1t is simply a case of
whose OK is gored.

Japanese from over-running Cal

WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
LeVinsky Looks Better Each Time
He Fights.

Christmas.
Only 40 more doping days until
baseball.
Maybe we spout a whole lot about
this New York heavyweight, Battling
Levinsky, but we are proud of that
guy, and look on him as personal
property. About three months ago,
when no one knew how to spell his
name, we wished ourself on him, and
he has come through with colors
flying.
A person named Jack Driscoll
emerged from Brooklyn long enough
last night to get the SWEETEST ten
round trimming he ever read about.
He has to read about it, for he isn't
sure what happened. Levinsky
pounded the Irish-monikered lad all
over the ring, and at the end. of the
tenth Driscon was all in and hang
ing on the ropes. He would have
been f1oored for the count in another
round.
Compared to the present crop of
flesh mountains that are going
around the country and obtaining
money by billing themselves as white
hopes, Levinsky is a small man. He
weighs ITO pounds, which puts him
somewhere near the class of Gun
boat Smith, with whom he has not
tangled thus far.
LeVinsky has been developed from
"a raw amateur into scrapper with
"a fair amount of cleverness and
whaling punch He did not learn his
game in the gymnasiums. Not any.
He signed for fight after fight, and
the lusty knocks that landed on him
taught him carefulness and shift
ness.
If this fellows hands hold out he
will in time put away ali of the men
now in the heavyweight division. But
human mitts can only stand GER
tain amount of buffeting, and Levin
sky gives his plenty of work.

(This is not letter of recommends
ton. Our job is satisfactory
But none of this experience haG
fitted us to prognOsticate the next
move when baseball magnates begin
playing politics.
All of which is another way of say
ing that sooner or later Joe Tinker
will find a resting place, after the
magnates have pulled lot of adver-
tisement out of his case, and numer-
GUS offers of a million dollars or so
have been offered for his services.
Experts in the Brooklyn papers
see incumbent that Joey will be
wearing a Dodger uniform next sea-
son. They have held converse with
Charles Hold-on Ebbets, and that
celebrity is reconciled to unbutton-
ing himself from a $10,O0O-bonus,
though the separation may prove
fatal
Striped of all its bunk, that bonus
is all that is necessary to get Tinker
to Brooklyn. The deal has been off
cially recognized by the National
League powers, and offers from other
magnates are founded mainly on air.
Some excuse can be made for these
stories. President Comiskey of the
White Sox is out Of town and news is
scarce. We have to use some spotty
dope now and then to fill up with.
We are not overwhelmed by the
news that Charles Webb Murphy is

Pirates, Cardinals and Reds. Murphy

him for regular work, and he natural
" wants something that he can use,

The bill which will precipitate bit

state was introduced in the assembly
by Assemblyman Pfenning of Ken

brewery from the saloon so that the
brewers will not be in the business of
conducting saloons. The bill provides
fine of not less than $500 and no
more than $1,000 for anyone found
gui ty of signing lease on the con-
dition that he would sell any particu-
lar brand of, beer exclusive to all
others. The plan is to hold public
hearing on this measure. and give n
both sides an opportunity to be heard
