CARPENTER SCORED A K. o.
Dick Smith. Former English Champ
 ion. Fell in the Eighth Round.

Paris, July l9--Georges Carpenter. the French champion, knocked out Dick Smith, former English champion in the eighth round of 20-ronnd bout tonight. It was Carpenters fight all the way.
 Smiths defeat celebrates Carpen- tiers return to the ring after a five year absence. He was completely out classed. Carpenter dominating the situation turnout.
 The fourth round alone was about even. Smith was down for count of seven in the third, and took count of eight in the fifth. Carpenter finished his work in the eighth with left and a right hook to the jaw.
 The Frenchman seemed eager for an early knockout. He fought fierce ly, leaving openings which might have been taken advantage of by a more clever opponent. Carpenter appeared little short of condition, and some line was obtained on this evenings showing regarding his chances in a gruelling battle.
 Fred Fulton challenged the winner.
 The assembly was more spectacular than the fight itself, beautiful women in gorgeous gowns and men in evening dress cheering Carpentier, and Fonck and Nungesser, the aviators, when they were introduced It was more like social function than prize fight, and the crowds went home hap py that the French idol had not been iethroned.
 Carpenter and Joe Beckett, present British champion arc now matched for 20-round encounter September ?, the winner of which, it is believed, will be matched to meet Jack Dempsey, the new worlds champion.

CERTIFIED SWEET POTATOES.

The sweet potato industry has in- creased very rapidly in our state the past few years. This year we expect to harvest the largest crop in the his- tory of the state.
 As the acreage devoted to any crop increases the diseases and insects in- crease proportionally. It is because of this fact that the State Plant Board is establishing a sweet potato inspection service Before any potatoes can be sold for seed purposes or before pota- toes are bedded for the production of plants for commercial purposes it will be necessary to have them inspected because our state is one of the very few where the sweet potato weevil does not exist, or at least it hasn't been found here yet, and 1t is desired if possible to keep it out of our state. Then, too, in order to produce a clean, disease-free crop of potatoes we must have clean seed to begin with.
 This inspection will work no hard ship on anyone, but is the best thing possible both for the plant grower and the potato grower. It is simply in- surance against the introduction of or the. spreading of certain insects and diseases.
 We hope that the sweet potato growers will cooperate with Prof. Becker and assist him in very way possible to make the work success.

 All the officials in Hungary, accord ing to Bella Kun, were susceptible of bribery They were making out pass es for persons to flee from Hungary charging for them from 50,000 to S00,- 000 crowns, and also were buying illi- citly in the provinces. Every one, he asserted, was swindling and willing tc take any criminal steps to live we'll

CONFIDENCE IN OIL STOCKS.

 Big Reward for Care.

Little Rock, July 21.--The height of optimism in oil stocks was shown here Sunday night, when two persons, pre- sumably the father and mother, left three-weeks-old baby girl on the door step of the Methodist Orphanage here. A note, also left, said the child was born of wealthy parents, who, it is presumed, invested all their money in oil stocks.
 The note said the parents would re- turn on the day the baby is 16 years old and pay the orphanage $5.000 for rearing her with an added $10,000 if no publicity were given the matter and assured the orphanage officials they need have no fears of not get ting the money, as "her relatives have a large amount of oil stocks"
