We have to print the papers this
issue without trimming as the knife
to the folder is worn out and we had
to send it away to get a new one.
Just turn them wrong side out and
you will find lot of good and whole
some reading On the four pages on
the inside. There is the great reduc-
tion sale of Daitch Brothers, the good
qualities Of the Goodrich tires, the
story of The Strange Case of Mary
Page" the fran page conducted by
Mr. Mills and Miss Wise and a lot of
other good and wholesome reading.
Every page of The Herald and News
is a good page and has hive and good
reading on it. The only trouble will
be that you can't divide the paper up
so that at least two members of the
family may read it at the same time,
We hope to have the knife fixed very
soon.

The Columbia Record says that
the enthusiasm of the Manning men
at the State convention was really
surprising. Why surprising? They
did not expect to control the convea-
ton, and when the anti-Manning
crowd who were also anti-Blease
Joined with them it really stirred
their enthusiasm. Well, that is re.
freshing and encouraging, but it does
not necessarily mean votes at the
August primary, and that is what
counts. The daily papers have been
bringing forth some very labored ef.
forts since the convention to keep VI
their courage. No doubt about that

Rev. BabJ in EaSLey.

We were glad indeed to have vis;!
us Monday, Rev. E. V. Babb OF New
berry, former citizen and pastor CT
the First Baptist church. He had been
to the Southern Baptist CON. ention
which has been in session at lAshe-
Vile, n. c., the past week, and as he
came as near as Greenville, couldn'.
resist seeing his many warm friends
in Easley. From here Mr.. Babb was
carried to his home in Newberry By
MIR. T. T. Barton, who was on his way
to Columbia as a delegate to the State
convention, Knights of Pythias, from
Easley lodge which convened in that
city yesterday. Mr.. Barton made the

This is a great time to drag the
roads. If the farmers just had the
time how good they could make the
roads for the remainder of the year
by lust a little use of the drag. 1t
would take very little time to do the
lob. But the crops will need the at
tention of the farmer for the next
few weeks now. How about some OF
these town farmers getting out with
their teams on the top of split log
drag. 1t would do great deal OF
good. And be more profitable than
the average town farm.

it seems to US that the people have a
right to know where their money is
going, not even making the most re-

right. Of course, We suppose every
citizen would have right to go down

ed to do so. We do not mean by this
anything except what We say that it
is always best to keep the people in
your confidence and sometimes there
is an economy that is not wise econ
cmy.
And the commissioners of public
works never any more print state
ment of the receipts and disburse-
ments. 1t is the business Of the pub
lie and the public should be taken
into the confidence of the officials suf-
fciently that they might have the op-
portunity of seeing where the money
goes and how the accounts stand.
Nothing wrong in that, is there?

Jim Coffey, %
Years Old, Has Been
Fighting 4 Years

1t will be four years Tomorrow
night since Jim Corey, the Irish giant,
set out on that ring career which his
multitude Of Hfbernian admirers
fond1y hoped would land him at the
worlds champi onship goal Not that
they have entirely abandoned hope.
for the Irish are Of sanguine DISPOSE
ton, but their hero's defeat this
month by Frank Moran, following the
knockout administered to the motor
man by the same sorrel-topped gla-
diator last October, has necessarily
dampened their enth usiasn.
The fourth anniversary of Coffey' 8
ring debut is almost coincident with
uary Of 1891 was nearing its close
when Corey first opened his eyes up
on the world at Castlerea, Roscom-
mon, Ireland. He was christened
James Joseph, and grew up into a
big broth of q lad, working on his
fathers farm. attending school ocea-
#siona1Iy, and wrestling with the
neighbor boys. jim was a. good
rough-and-tunlo1e wrestler, but he had
scarcely heard of boxing, when he de-
cided to enigrate to America, The
big fellow landed in Boston IN April,
1910, and tmm ediate1y hiked to Paw
tucket, where he had friends. There
he worked for a, time in a bleachery,
and later got a job as a teamster In
providence. Less than a year after
landing in America he arrived in New
York. where he got employment as a
Inotornan on a surface line,
One cold night JiIn's car was held
up by fire, and he engaged in con-
versatton with a cop named Tom
Shaw. The latter, boxer and Wrest--
Ter of note in New York police circles,
suggested that they pull off a. little
wrestling match in the snow to keep
warm. In less than q minute Shaw
was lying fat on his back, The cop
per invited Coffey to come around
to the policeman's gym and there the
Irishman first donned the gloves. Jim
didn't know a thing about boxing,
but when the bout was over Tom Shaw
had a great admiration for the motor
man and fractured rib.
Coffey then began visiting club
where he put on the gloves with sew
eral professional boxers. and was tu-
tored in boxing by Marty Farrell.
Green as Coffey was, Billy Newman
thought well enough of him to match
him with Nick Muller. They met at
the New Polo club On Jan. a6, 1912.
Coney was wild, and once Knocked
both his opponent and the referee
down into a heap with one failing
swing. In the sixth round Muller
had enough, and Coffey was wildly
cheered by the fans. From that mo-
ment he had a big following, and, al
though he was soon afterward defeat
ed by Soldier Kearns, he developed
rapidly. He started last year by
knocking out Jack Sullivan, and then
added to his victories Arthur Jelkey,
zone Round Davis ''AI Reich -
Pueblo jim Flynn and Jack Reed.
In October he was knocked out by
Moran, but the following month he
returned to favor after putting Gun
boat Smith to sleep. His second de-
feat by Frank Moran has deprived
him of q place among the first rank

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

5sTs-,Jim Mccormick. enee PROM
inent as a heavyw ght boxer, born
in Galveston. The Texas giant stood
feet 1 inch in height, and weighed
about 1875 pounds. He started fight
ing in 1899. the same year which wit
messed the ring debut of another ma
tive of Galveston, Jack johnson. Nc
Cormick fought a draw with the Gull
lud giant that year, and took part
in several other contests winning most
of them by knoekouts. In subsequent
battles he was defeated by the big
eiinge, but defeated a. number of good
scrappers, including Denver I'D Mar
tin, Fred Russell, Pat Purte1l and
Jack Bonner. Mccormick continued
fighting until 1905. when he defeated
Jimmy HanIen and Billy Stiff and
knocked out Sandy Ferguson in Hot
Springs. He was then matched to
fight Gus Runlin at Co1ma. The bat
tie went eighteen rounds, when Gus
landed punch which put Mccormick
down for the count. That battle was
the last important ring affair in which
Mccormick participated, and it also
marked the close of Ruhlin's career
as a fighter.

showed that second primary
would be necessary to decide the
nominees for two supreme court
Judgeships. The run-off primary
has been set for Sep. 8.
The congressman who have OPP
position Representatives Gambler,
Sisson, Quin and Collier-all had
safe leads for denomination on the
face of the returns, the majorities
running from about 600 for Mr..
Sisson to about 1900 for Mr..
Quin. The four other congress
men were unopposed.
Returns from the First judicial
district practically assured that in
the second primary Justice G. ID.
Potter, incumbent, would contest
against G. II. Ethridge, and that
Justice +. O. Sykes, incumbent,
would contest against X. II. Knox
in the Third district.
Chief Justice Smith won renom-
ination in the central district over
former Gov. Longino by about
1000 votes. Justice Holden was
unopposed in the southern district.
One of the handsomest majori-
ties accorded Justice Sykes was
that of his home county, where he
received a majority of 1918 over
his opponents.
