Boxing News and Notes
.By FRED HAWTHORNE

It was rumored around town last
night that the officers Of the 10Th Regi-
nent, known as THE Black Hussars'
and now encamped at Camp Dix,
Wrightstown, y. j., will maintain
doubly strict watch over their dusky
charges from midnight tomorrow
until midnight on Friday. There's a
reason"
On Friday evening at the Harlem
Sporting Club Leo Johnson, the negro
lightweight, will meet Benny Leonard,
champion of the world, in the main
bout. In the most exclusive circles OF
Darktown society in Harlem Johnson is
as much of an idol as Buddha ever
was when that gentleman was meeting
all corners, and most of the 10Th rank
and file were recruited from Leos
home district Hence the need for an
extra guard at Camp Dix until after
Johnson and Leonard settle their
troubles.
The officers of "The Black Hussars"
are prepared for every kind and de-
scription OF excuse on the part OF the
gentlemen Of color in the ranks for
permission TO go TO Harlem on Friday
light, but II you should see a dusky
brigade enter the club with fixed bsyo.
nets Just before Johnson and Leonard
square off you will know that some OF
the gallant 18th have lodged from
huckleberry bush TO huckleberry bush
at Wrightstown, given the sentrles the
slip and taken other desperate chances
to see their champion perform.
Benny should not have much trouble
with Leo; in fact, it would not be
shock il the little champion should
Astten Johnson for the doleful count.
The negro is noted as a defensive
fighter, but Leonard, faster on his feet
and with his hands, should be able 70
penetrate his opponents guard. II he
connects solidly with his right, Benny
will end matters right there and John
son may decide that it's safer 20 enlist
in the 18th than continue In the prize
ring.
Irish Patsy Cline and Willie Jack
son, through their respective manag-
ers, deposited certified checks for $3.50
each Yesterday as forfeits for weight
and appearance in the ring of the Man
haitian a. =. next Monday night, when
they meet in the main bout. Patsy and
Willie have agreed TO make 1874 pounds
ringside. Billy Roche received word
late last night that his silk shirt will
be back from the laundry on Monday
evening, so he will referee the match.
Jitney James Johnston, the Brusque
Boy Bandit, placed an order with his
garage man yesterday for twenty hogs
heads OF gasolene and also spent two
hours in the afternoon looking over
the latest crop Of fivvers, for James
expects to invest in car part of his
earnings on the Johnny Dundee-Joe

has a good chance here OF making
fnc recovery from his 4~down start,
and there are still number Of his
admirers who believe that he can turn
the trick, despite the double handicap
of being down and then having to
Weld nine strokes.
Wykagyl is also a fine gallery
course, as large crowds turn out for
the many exhibition matches PLAYED
there. So it is epected that several
hundred dollars will be added to the
slS2 collected for the Red Cross at
Englewood last week.

NOW PUTS IN FULL
 TIME AT HIS WORK Before Taking Tanlac Had to Lay Off From Work
 Half the Time

"If it hadn't been for Tanlac I believe I would be past going by now" declared Asa Folds machinist in the employ of the Whittier Mills, Chattahoochee, Ga, "but It's made well man out of me.
 My stomach got out of order some 10 years ago and on top of all this trouble rheumatism set in and just made my life miserable. 1 couldn't eat much of any thing and the little I did eat failed to agree with me I had severe headaches and awful pains in my back and sides, and I would get so dizzy I'd almost drop in my tracks. I had rheumatic pains from my hips to my feet and got so crippled up had to lay off from work half the time.
 "A friend advised me to try Tanlac, and I did so, and felt better from the first. The pain in my side and back has stopped and I have no more dizzy spells. I eat three hearty meals day and have no trouble digesting them. I am not nervous and sleep like a log, and feel fine and rested when I get up and full of vim and energy the whole day through. When I get started talking about the good of Tanlac I can hardly stop, for 1 am now able to put in full time every day at my work and I tell you, I'm mighty grateful for what this medicine has done for me-"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- svely by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug company; in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug com pany; in Pratt City by Gale Drug com pany and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company.-Adv.

By J. T. GORMAN Examiner of public accounts for Ala

 At present our people are vitally in- terested in the war the pomp, the pride and circumstance of glorious war; the liberty bonds and the Red Cross. These questions absorb most of their attention.
 Soon however, the affairs of the state, especially it's financial condition, will de- mand attention and action. As we all know, there is deficit of nearly S2,500,0OO which is increasing almost $4O0000 an nually. This deficit must be paid and the receipts and disbursements capitalized. sn this connection, the following facts and figures, relative to the finances of the state from 1861. will be instructive and interesting:
 When Alabama seeded from the union in 1861 it had bonded debt of $5,0oO,0OO, in round numbers.
