DISPATCH BEARER DECLARES
 SHERMAN DIDN'T SAY IT

Thomas D. Collins a Civil war veteran of Mddletown, N. T., who was with Sherman on his march to the sea, says the general never said. 'War is he'll"
 Collins is quoted in a dispatch from Mid dletown as saying T was within few feet of the general when the mayor and officials of the city of Fayetteville, N. C., came out of the city and pleaded with the general not to invade the town. General Sherman told them he would not enter the city if they would Union. Until you do,' the general told them, we will have to go on. War is cruel. cannot refine it. l will make as great sacrifices today as any of you gentlemen, but you must lay down your arms before I will consent to re- main out of your city"
 Having been a dispatch bearer to General Sherman, Collins may have known what was said, but even if the celebrated remark at- tributed to the northern leader is not his torically accurate, it will De quoted by gen erations yet unborn.
 The iconoclasts lay about them nightly, but without much success in shattering tradi- tion. They tell us Pershing did not say, "La- Fayette, we are here;' that the gallant leader of the 'Lost Battalion in the Argonne did not say, "Go to hell," neither was the battalion lost; that little George Washington didn't cut down any cherry tree and then profess that he could not tell lie. They may even tell us that Alexander didn't weep for more worlds to conquer, but these bright spots in the sometimes stupid books historians write cannot be dinlmed by prosaic hunters after facts.
 If the immortal words that have gone ring ing down the ages were not spoken by the persons to whom they are attributed, we may bolster up our faith by saying they might have been spoken. or at any rate they should have been. and lot it go at that.

BARNuM,s TEMPERATE RECORD HOLDS

"I would like to know why it is that a man can eat glass and live,' said Stephen Mox- ley of Wylam. T was out at Edgewood the other day and the original glass eater gave an exhibition, taking soda water glass, break ing 1t up, chewing it up and swallowing it. There is no doubt in my mind but that he swal- lowed the glass, but why it does not kill him, I don't know.
 "The man remarked that he ate any glass up to Ford automobile shield. l would have been afraid to have offered him the shield off my car. One thing I noticed, however, was that he seemed to chew the glass into pow der, but what are his teeth made off"

SURPLUS TOMATO CROP

"The Jefferson County Truck Growers as- sociation is working out plans for the dispo- sition of surplus tomatoes during the season which begins in about two weeks" said J. l.. Jordan, county agricultural agent. "At meet ing of the association last Saturday com mittee was appointed to work out plans along this line.
 "As it has been in the past most tomatoes come on the market about the same time with the result that the supply exceeds the demand and prices reach rock bottom. Truckers are often unable to dispose of the lot they bring in during the morning. Plans now under con- sideration include establishment of central canning plant, shipping surplus putting on a campaign to induce people to 'eat more to- matoes.' Prospects for fine crop this year with the result that the markets will be stocked to overflowing with the arrival of home grown tomatoes"

GEORGES FORSAKES
DEAR new YORK
French Champion Shows That
He Wants No More Box
ing Here.
By CHARLES F. srATHIsoN.

If any additional evidence were re-
quired TO show that Georges Carpenter
does not desire any further pugilistic
experiences in this dear America il Is
provided by his sidestepping of match
with Harry Greb. Tex Rickard cent
two cablegrams TO the heavyweight
champion of Europe Offering him a guar
antee gof S150.000 to box Harry Greb
twelve rounds In Boyle's Thirty Acres
After considerable delay his manager,
Descamps. replied that the offer came
too late. as Carpenter was matched
with Miles, a third rate French heavy,
and Joe Beckett, the slowest heavy
weight on three continents.
1t Is a foregone conclusion tina: Car
pentier will not get one-third of $3.50. 900
for fighting both Miles and Beckett, but
neither will give the Frenchman ore
thousandth. part of the annoyance ne
would encounter in a match with Creb.
The conclusion is inevitable that Car
pentier, having noted the fact that Grcb
had defeated both Gibbons and Tunney,
reached the conviction that the Pitts
burgher is altogether too rough and uE-
couth in his ring methods.
Yet the sdestepping OF Greb was by
no means the worst OF Carpenters of-
Tending He was formally matched for
a bout with Tom Gibbons at Madison
Square Garden last February. Tie
Frenchman ran out Of that match, and
when queried on the subject Descamps
explained that Carpenter would not de-
fend his title of light heavyweight cham
pion of the world In America till such
time as Greb. Tunney and Gibbons lad
settled the question of supremacy be-
tween them. Therefore when Greb had
beaten Gibbons and Invested Tunney of
his American light heavyweight title
Rickard naturally thought the French
man would keep his word and box the
winner. Apparently Carpenter never
had the slightest intention of doing so.
for he first made match with tho
welter, Kid Lewis. and then followed
that with matches with Beckett and
Miles
Under the circumstances the alleged
match between Carpenter and Demp-
sey, to be contested in Europe, will gen.
orally be regarded as a buffer for the
Frenchman against Greb and as a
barrier for Dempsey against Wills.
In view of the calm unconcern with
which Carpenter makes matches and
fails 70 fulfill them it might be adj
visable for the Boxing Commission to
inquire into the Frenchman's acts and
if he is found guilty impose the proper
penalty.
