PETER JACKSON'S PATHETIC
ATTEMPT To COME BACK"
One Of the most pathetic attempts
10 stage a come back was made by
Peter Jackson, once a great fighter,
when he met Jim Jeffries in San Fran
cisco q years ago today. The big
black man. worn by dissipation and
in his 37th year, was an easy victim
for the rugged young boilermaker.
The science and skill which had
made Jackson in his prime one OF the
greatest heavyweights who ever lived
had well nigh deserted him, and In
strength he was but child in the
hands Of the brawny Jeffries- Jack
son fought three pitiful rounds, and It
was probably only Jeffs maEnanimity
that permitted him to stay that long.

taken part in an important bout since
he knocked out Frank Slavin in Lon
con IN 1892. After that he was feted
and wined and dincd so continually
that he lost all interest IN boxing.
and only financial necessity drove him
back TO the game In the opinion OF
most experts who have seen both men.
Jackson was better and cleverer than
Jack Johnson as well as Jess VII

a friendly officer to remove his
doubts on this subject, but once con-
vinced, York devoted himself to the
business of soldering with that same
definite and dominant purpose which

cause of a deep religious spirit, a
fine, wholehearted devotion to duty

the wartime law, there has been the
greatest confusion regarding its pro-
visions. President Wilson, in mes
sage to the present Congress, rec
commended repeal of the law insofar
as it related to light wines and beers,
but this was passed over with little
consideration. In a statement given
out Saturday night the President an
nounced he was without authority to
suspend operations Of the act at this
time, but that he would do so as soon
as the army was demobilized. Until
the very end dealers everywhere had
held to the forlorn hope that the
President would set aside the law.
The confusion extended even into
official quarters. Early today officials
of the Department Of Justice said
that the law prohibited the sale Of
2 ga per cent beer and light wines,
then on the heels of the district at
torney at Baltimore announced he
had received instructions from
Washington not to interfere with
such sales for the present. After the
issuance of the attorney generals s
statement officials dismissed the
whole subject with the explanation
that the department had reversed"
itself.
There were all sorts of rumors
afloat in Washington as to what
might happen in Congress in view of
the stand taken by Department Of
Justice. Some members insisted that
there would be a demand Tuesday in
the House for immediate considera-
ton of the straight wartime en-
forcement bill and that not even an
agreement for recess over the holi-
day could prevent action once, the
fight was launched.
The argument was advanced in

and passed after an agreement to
dispense with debate. After in the
evening, however, some of the pro-
hibition leaders said they would be
content with plans for the holiday.
But there was a, general feeling Of

CITY OF FLORENCE BARELY ES'
CAPES SERIOUS CON-
FLAGRATION

Florence, July FLORENCE mar
rowly missed a serious conflagration
this morning when the Buchhelt row
of frame tenants, store, pressing
clubs, etc., were destroyed by fire.
The alarm from box fourteen, at
East Evans and Church streets, in
the midst of the business section,
was sounded at 9 o'clock. The fire
was then bursting through the roof
of the Bushheit block of frame build
ings in East Evans street. The de-
partment was soon on the spot,b ut
the inflammable material that the
fire fed upon caused the flames to
make rapid headway and by the
time the first stream of water was
turned upon the seething flames, the
bullalng had begun falling. Nearly
everything in the several apartments
of the building was burned and the
loss was considerable.
The Mcmillan building, across the
street on the south side, soon caught
as we'll as the large billboards of
Brays. The Berry building on the
west side and the Bushheit tenant
dwellings on the north, were dam
aged.
The top of a gasoline filling sta
ton tank caught and shot up long
stream of fire. The tank was expect
ed to explode but stream was shot
at the blaze from a distance and it
was put out of business.
The property destroyed Will
amount to several thousand dollars
and on account ofthe high rate
charged by the insurance companies
on the risk, about 10 per cent, there
was little insurance on any of the
property.
The fire originated from a spark
from a stove flue in restaurant,
being driven under the shingles by
the stiff, northeast wind that was
blowing.
The buildings destroyed will be
replaced with brick structures at
once by Mrs. S. ]. Buchheit, the
owner.

lO,9S6,00O BALES
COTTONFORECAST
CROP ESTIMATED MILLION
BALES UNDER LAST YEAR
ACREAGE CUT

Washington, July IA cotton
crop of about 100000 bales smaller
than last years was forecast for this
year by the Department of Agricul-
ture today in estimating prospective
production at 10,9s6,O00 bales.
Acreage this year shows cut Of
81 per cent from last years, the de-
crease being 3,247,00O and the total
39,960,000. The agitation for reduc-
ton which, the Department says, oc-
Cured in every cotton growing State,
the scarcity and high price of labor
and unfavorable planting weather
caused the heavy decrease.
The propaganda for reduction of
acreage affected principally the larg-
er growers, according to the depart
ment, but most of the small proprie-
tors and tenant farmers maintained,
or even increased, their paintings
this year. Many other farmers who
had not grown cotton for years
planted it this season, hoping to re-
ceive the high prices prevailing at
planting time.
Most sections report the crop late
and a scarcity of labor. Boil weevils
are reported very active in large
portion of the belt.
In statement on the cotton crop
the Department of Agriculture said:
"The heavy cut of S6.7 per cent in
the acreage devoted to cotton this
year has resulted from the scarcity
and high price of labor, unfavorable
weather for planting and abandon
ment of fields in many sections be-
cause of inability to get the plant
worked out of the grass, coupled
with an agitation in every cotton
State for reduction in the acreage.
"The propaganda for the reduction
of acreage affected principally the
larger planters, but most of the small
proprietors and tenant farmers, who
had disposed of their 1918 crop at
high prices, maintained, or even in
creased their paintings. Many other
farmers who had not grown cotton
for years planted it this season, hop
ing to receive the high prices pre-
vailing at planting time.
an portions of Texas, Oklahoma
and along the northern border of cot
ton production wheat was planted
last fall because of the government
guaranteed price. In the sea island
sections of Georgia and Florida there
is a heavy reduction in acreage
planted in cotton because of ball Wee
vii ravages, as is also the case in)the
newly infested sections of Georgia
and South Carolina, considerable cot
ton already planted having been
plowed up and planted to other crops.
"There is general complaint in
most sections of lateness, too much
rain, grassy fields and scarcity of
| labor. Because of the mild winter Of
1918 ard the wet season to date wee
wills are reported as very active in
Southern and Eastern Texas, Ark
ansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alaba-
ma, Florida, a large portion of
Georgia and in Southeastern South
Carolina. North Carolina reports in
festation by lice. Hail did local dam
age in Texas and Oklahoma. The
weather in the northern part of the
belt has been too cool for cotton.
There is but little tap root. Droughty
conditions were complained Of in
portions of South Carolina only"

GEORGETOWN GETS BUSY
Prepares to Improve Its Water
Transportation Facilities.

Georgetown, July AT meet
| ing of the board of directors of the
chamber of commerce recently held,
Col. H. B. Springs, president, ap-
pointed a committee to take up the
matter of arranging water transport
alton FOR this port.
Several months ago both the Clyde
Steamship Company and the Balti-
more and Carolina Steamship Com
pany discontinued their ships sailing
into this port on account Of condi-
tions brought about by the late war.
Since then Georgetown has been al
most entirely dependent upon rail-
road facilities for transportation.
The committee appointed by the
chamber of commerce will soon visit
New York and Baltimore with view
to reestablishing these boat lines to
Georgetown, and in the event this
can not be done, it is probable that
the business men of Georgetown will
organize and finance boat line be-
tween this port and Baltimore OF
New York. The business men here
are determined to have water trans
portation facilities, and it is hoped
that through the efforts of the cham
ber of commerce, the old lines will
be reestablished, or a new line or
ganized and put into operation at an
early date.
