HAS McFARIaAND LOST CONFIDENCE
 IN HIS. ABILITY?

MiIwual1ee, May 4@Can it be pos sfbIe that Packey Mel ar1and has lost faith in hin1seIf7 Has the stock yards marvel conceded that his dstic prowess has waned2 Does he believe that the St Paul phantom, Mike Gib- bons, Is his superior2
 These land various other questions of similar nature have arisen in the minds of close followers of the box ing game since Packey neglected to complete his part of the bargaining for the contest with Gibbons
 A month ago Packey entered into negotiations for the contest with cession asked for. Among other things Gibbons agreed to make the weight 145 pounds. That weight would be much more difficdlt for Gib- bons to make than for McFaPIand- Gibbons posted forfeit of $500 as per agreement to bind the match. When the time came for taking care of that essential Mcfarland failed to do his part.
 Last week Gibbons went to Chica- go for meeting with Packey. The latter failed to appear, stating he would be on hand later in the week. When the later day arrived Packey still was among the missing. With that disapp pointment Gibbons an nounced that all negotiations for the match were off
 Mcfarland certainly don't help his popularity by failing to keep his word. If he sought advertising he didn't receive the kind which would be of value to- him
 The bout, if. helds doubtless would be one of the greatest exhibitions of pure boxing skill of the decade. There are none better than Packey and Mike. As evidence of the draw ing power of such @ contest it need only be mentioned that one New York promoter offered $19,0OO Tor the con test with the privilege of an extreme 1y liberal percentage. It is probable that bids for the bout would have approached close to $sO,000.

 There were ten seTni-professionai bouts of three rounds each and a ten- round final between heavywefghts. Joe Woods of Bay Ridge and Battling Johnson, announced as the champion of the Fiji or the South Sea Islands, whichever has Tahiti as it's capital, this being the town of Johnson's na- tivity, furnished the fireworks in the final. There was little to choose pe- tween them.

held there which will be OF much
lasting benefit to the commun-
ty. A very large crowd of in

excellent order prevailed. MANY
from other 'ctions Of Pickens
county and some from Anderson
county were present and the oc-
casion was exceedingly enjoy
able and instructive. Flat Rock
school is situated near Carmel
church, where stood the famous
old Thalian academy taught by
Rev. John l.. Kennedy, one of
the foremost educators of his
day, and many of the old acad
emy students were present on
this occasion. Methias Richard

who made talks were Rev. &c.

Inclement weather conditions
prevented many from attending
the educational and agricultural
rally for the people of Long
Branch, Kings and Garvin school
districts, which was held at
Pleasant Hill church Friday,
! August 27. However, the church
building was filled with pupils
and patrons of these districts,
and those present were enthusi-
astic in their interest and were
treated to some of the finest ad-
dresses ever made in Pickens
county.
Among thespeakers were j ohm
G. Clinkscales, professor in Wof-
ford college; D. M. Ramsay,
president Of G. w. c.; w. H.
Barton, of the state farm exten-
sion work; Mr.. Rochester. of the
Sandy Springs Waterworks Co..
Lueco Gunter, of the state school
work; II. A. Bowen, farm dem
onstration agent Of Picl1ens
county.
A most excellent dinner was
prepared and served in picnic
style by the fine ladies, Of whom
there are many in this COM
munity.
The people of Pleasant Hill
section have decided to build a
modern graded school building
near Pleasant Hill church or
Lawrence chapel. The object is
to consolidate the districts Of
Kings and Long Branch, do
away with the Pleasant Hill and
Long Branch schools and make
one good graded school. King
school will remain where it is.
We are satisfied that this
would be wise step to take. II
will give the children of that
section of the county a chance
F to get good common school ed
: ucation. Rural graded schools
E have passed the experimental
q stage and have been proven
= success. They are already es
y tablished and doing excellen
work, and if the masses Of tn
children are to be educated grad
a ed schools must be established il
+ every section Of the county. w
: are pleased TO note the heart,
cooperation between the patron
and trustees and the county am
state educational departments il
establishing such schools. Ir
our opinion one of the best piece.
OF school Legislation ever passed
in this state is the Nicholson act
which provides for state aid ir
establishing rural graded schools
throughout the state.

The special election held Sat-
urday, August 81, to decide
whether or not Johnston school
district should issue % mills ad-
ditional levy for school purposes
resulted in a vote of SO for and
one against the special levy.
This makes five mills special
levy for school purposes in this
district. The patrons of John
ston district have also decided to
build a $4,000 school building in
the near future. The people of
the district are to be heartily con
graduated on the fine spirit of
unanimity they are showing in
building up a splendid school for
this section. The towns of Ca
teechee and Norris are located in
Johnston district and the people
Of the two towns seem to be
working hand in hand for the
advancement Of the cause of
education which will mean so
much in their development.

, The enemy at Steinbach has not at- tackled again and the French in thls region have retained their positions. They claim also an advance toward Altkrich, in Alsace, south of Stem bach and Muelhausen. The text of the communication follows:
 During the day of January there occurred from the sea to the Lys, nothing other than artillery fighting in which we had almost always the advantage. Our batteries put to flight certain German aviators who were coming in the direction of Dun- kirk, and they compelled a cessa- ton of the fire of the German mine throwers in the region of Zillebeke.
 The enemy bombarded violently the head of the Belgian bridge to the south of Dixmude-
 ''In the region of Lille we repulsed with success 4a,.. violent German att tack on one of our trenches. This trench in the beginning lost by us, was recaptured with great brilliancy, and by the exploding of mines We demolished portion of the German field works Between the Somme and the Aisne there has been noth- ing to report except artillery engage ments,
 ITO the east of Rheims, on the Alger Farm we exploded some mines yesterday evening. This resulted in the stopping of the enemy's field work.
 Tn the Argonne, to the west and north of Verdun, there were yester- day artillery engagements in which the enemy did not show much activ- ity.
 'In the Woevre district the ad- vance made by us to the northwest of F'lirey is more important than was at first taken to be the case. We made ourselves masters of a portion of the enemys first line.
 At Steinbach and at the adjoin- ing heights the enemy has not de- livered a counter attack. A per sistent rain, together With the state of the ground, made any operations difficult. We have retained all the positions conquered by us in pre- ceding days. There were two at tacks on the part of the enemy, one to the west of Watwiller and the other near Kolschlag. Both were imm ediatly repulsed. We made prog ress in the direction of Altkirch by occupying the Forests situation four kilometers e 1-2 miles) to the west of this town. Our heavy artillery reduced to silence that of the en- emy.
