revenge for past insults by stopping
the Gentleman" In fifteen minutes.
The career of the pioneer of the
hundreds OF Jews who have attained
to pugilistic fame was replete with
romantic incidents and adventures.
On one occasion Mendoza was thrown
into Kings Bench prison for debt,
and spent four years In that resort,
so graphically described by Charles
Dickens. By turns he was an actor,
a Snowman, and a publican, as well
as an instructor in boxing. His ca
reer as a, champion aroused the pugil-
istic ardor of the English Jews, and
he soon had scores of his race seeking
To emulate his example, He gained
his last victory in 1906, when he de-
feated Harry Lee, although he was
then forty-two years old. For many
wears after his retirement the black
haired old Hebrew was a prominent
figure In pugilstic circles. and often
acted as trainer and second to young
battlers He died in 1886, at the ripe
old age of seventy three.
ON one occasion, when the Star of
the East was acting as a boxing in
structor in Dublin, an Irish gentleman
who had a wide reputation as an anna.
teur fighter challenged Mendoza to
battle. The Hibernian was q giant
In stature, and he had scant regard
for the reputation Of the slender
Hebrew, and thought he could easily
vanquish him Mendoza was content
with blocking his opponet's wild blows
and did not attempt to fight back,
until the Irishman, exasperated by
his tactics, let loose remark reflect
ms upon all Jews In general aid
Mendoza in particular. Daniel was
staunch defender OF his people, md
the insult had no sooner LETT the lips
of the Irishman than they were
crammed down his throat by Men
doza's fist The Hibernian took an
awful slashing and at length "hol--
Tered 'nough,' apologized to Mendoza
for his offensive language. and thence
forth became one OF the Hebrews
staunchest patrons.

Tobacco plants do not seem to be
doing we'll these cool nights. Some
of the farmers are waiting for rain
to begin to set out their plants, such
as they are.
Say, what is the trouble with the
vetch in this section? Oats seems to
be doing finely, while we can't see
much of the vetch.
A big crowd of the people of this
section took a trip to Kingstree Fri
day to see the Field day exercises.
Mr. Make Hemingway and Miss
Myrtle Cooper were seen passing
through here last Sunday on their
way home from Benson.
Mr. Winfred Goodwin and Miss Le-
ma McElveen passed through town
Saturday, returning from Kingstree.
Mr. and Mrs E V Anderson of
Morrisville passed through town one
! day last week.
We were glad to have our school
represented in the athletic contests
this year for the first time, and hope
to be better prepared for them next
year. Just watch Nesmith school
grow!
Mr. F E johnson and family spent
Sunday with Mr. Johnson's wife's Sis

the parade broke and gathered on
the green where Superintendent
Speigner outlined the programme
for the afternoon and an address of
welcome was delivered by Mayor
VIM R Scott.
The programme of the Oratorical
and Field day contests opened in
the school auditorium at 8 o'clock
Thursday night, when representatives
from various schools, boys and girls,
were to contest for prizes in oratory
and expression. There were some
ten or twelve schools represented.
The first prize. however, was award
ed to Mr. David Epps, of the King
stree High school, while Miss Leora
McCants of Kingstree won second
place. Of the girls in the contest,
Miss Clarice Huggins of Johnson
vile was awarded first prize. All
the contestants acquitted them
selves with great credit and it was
no easy problem for the judges in
several instances to decide upon the
most successful.
At $50 Friday morning the ele-
mentary contests took place in the
school auditorium and were attend
ed by a very large audience. Every
feature of the programme was a
success and those who arranged it
are due much praise from the pa
irons of the county schools and the
pupils as well.
The school fair, which was the
second to be held in connection with
the school work of this county, was
perhaps the most interesting feature
of the entire programme. This fair
was held in one of the large tobacco
warehouses and about twenty or
more schools had attractively ar
ranged booths for their respective
exhibits. For general exhibit, King
stree school won first place, Null
berry, second, while the judges de-
cided that it was tie between Cades
and Earles. The judges in this con-
test were: Misses Mary Eva Hite, Co.
lumbia; Florence Edwards of Latta,
who is an artist with the brush,
and Ora McFall of Pickens.
Hon j w Doar, Superintendent of
Education of Georgetown, was pres
ent and acted as one of the judges
in the oratorical contests Thursday
night.
The Field or Athletic exercises
were of q high order of skill and
agility and were participated in by
a large number of contestants, rep
resenting the larger schools of the
county.
At 8 o'clock Friday night Prof L
P Chamberlayne, of the University
of South Carolina, delivered an ad-
dress on Education" to a large
audience at the school auditorium,
at the conclusion of which the pre-
sentation of the trophy cups was
made and the names of the indi-
viduals who were successful on the
gridiron and in the class rooms
where the literary contests took
place were announced.

the Third Time.

The fourth annual Oratorical and
Field day celebration of the schools
of Williamsburg county came to a
close at the auditorium of the King
stree High and Graded school house
Friday night when the Kingstree
school was for the third time in sue
cession presented with the two hand
some silver trophy cups-one OF
which goes to athletics, the other to
oratory. In these the judges de-
cided that Kingstree had won the
most points on the score card and
was entitled to own outright these
handsome trophies by reason of hav.
ing won them successfully the past
three years. From every viewpoint
the exercises were a success and it
was very evident that the interest of
the county in these friendly contests
is growing year by year.
The schools having exhibits were

Those represented, but not having

Only four schools in the county still
running were not represented.
1t is conservatively estimated that
5000 people. mostly school children,
were present and participated in
the splendid parade that formed at
the school building at 11:30 a. m. and
marched to the court house. In
this parade were number of hand

the intention to pull off the Johnson
Willard bout at Juarez, Mexico, but
Johnson stopped off at Havana en- route

the Havana promoters, and, further

the battle being allowed there.

The Phillies, champions Of the Ma
tional League, will be one of the at
fractions to appear here early next
April. when the Nationals expect to
play series of games with the four
eastern division clubs of the National
League.
Business Manager Shettsline of the
Phillies wrote Manager Griffith several
days ago that they would like to have
a three-game series here. and April 8,
10 and II have been agreed upon.
The Boston Braves and the Brooklyn
Dodgers also will be here. Manager
Griffith has written to Secretary Foster
of the Giants, but it is doubtful that
McGraw's team will come here, for it
has been announced that New. York
will not play any exhibition games
next spring en- route north. going
direct from Marlin, Tex, to the Polo
Grounds, where they are slated to open
the season.
The games with the National League
teams on the local grounds not only
prove interesting. but they put the fin
ishing touches on the Nationals train
