That American War Acconi . ^ plisluiicnts Aiv Great. New York, Keb. fi.-Announcement that France will be able before July 1 to manufacture enough artillery to supply 20 American divisions or ap proximately r>00,000 troops, if the United States meanwhile adheres to an understanding by which France would receive the necessary raw ma terial from America, was made here to-night by Andre Tardieu, French high ^commissioner to this country. Mr. Tardieu declared also that there are In France to-day more American troops than comprised tho American army nt. the time the United States entered the war, At that time, he said, tho American anny contained about 212,000, officers and men. The French official spoke at a din ner which was part of New York's celebration of tho Jour de l'Alliance Francaise, which was observed throughout the United States and Canada to-day, the anniversary of the treaty between France and tho Amer ican colonies in 1778. Jules J. Jus serand, -the French ambassador, nlso wai; a guest ol' honor. Secrecy ought to be a thing of the past, because our democracies want to know in order to win, Mr. Tardieu said, and that "just appreciation of the results achieved hy America in lt? war preparation is a stimulant for effort and nobody has the right to refuse to the American people this st: mu laut." The commissioner reviewed tho nation's accomplishments and out lined what France had done In manu facturing ordnance both for'the Uni ted States and for Franco's other al lies. ."Wo have in our line," he said, "about 15,000 guns of every calibre and every day more than 3 00,000 shells are turned out by our factories. Work of Three Years. "Without speaking of what we manufacture for you, and that ls sev eral hundred guns a month, we have during the past three years given to our allies in Europe 1,360,000 rifles, 3 6,000 automatic rifles, 10,000 ma chine guns, 800 million cartridges, 2,500 guns and 1,750 airplanes. "The adoption without any modifi cation of various types of guns would certainly have saved some time to the benefit of American production, and ?orne delays may be the consequence of the improvements you are looking for always, and rightly at that, aim ing at better results. ''.But as we have agreed that you should supply and transport to France the necessary raw material wo will under such condition bo ablo in France to deliver to you before July 1 enough guns thoroughly to equip 20 of your divisions. Tho sit uation therefore is completely safe In that respect. Mr. Tardieu described American military effort as "wonderful" and splendid and asserted it had been a "surprise to the onemy." "I have co-operated for nearly ten months, hour by hour, with every part of your war Organization,"? he said. "What you have dono is mag nificent, worthy of yoiu* allies, wor thy of yourselves."

SULLIVAN. Some F?lete K< punting Ex-Fightei' Who Dietl Recently. John,Laurence Sullivan was on'e of the most picturesque characters .itt the history of, prize fighting. For moro than ten years, from the time he defeated Paddy Ryan in 1882, in a bare knuckle light ?under tho Lon don prize ring rules, until he was de feated by Jamos J. Corbett, in 1S92, his personality and methods of fight ing completely dominated sporting circles tn tho United States. In the annals of pugilism in th* country two notable distinctions were his: He was the last champion un der tho London prize ring rules, and he was the first native-born American lo succeed to the -world's champion ship. It was largely through his I-achievements that tho championship titlo was made a prize of great mon etary value. In the early days of his career $1,000 a side was looked on as a great sum. Ile received only $53 for the light that made him a na tional character in fisticuffs and won bim tho right to challenge "Paddy Ryan for the championship. Ills friends ranged all the way from tho ordinary "light fan" to many men of social and financial dis tinction in the United States, and lt is said he was on chumming terms with the late King Edward VII, of England. ? Regan at Seventeen. He began his fighting career soon after be^was 17, when as the "Boston Strong Boy" be took part In amateur boxing contests in several cities In Massachusetts, if Sullivan's custom ary procedure in his early youth could be called boxing. Tactics, strategy, plans of campaigns were all swept away when John L. Sullivan hammered his ruthless, undeviating way to the front. His style was ata vistic, a return to tho simple, primi tive principle of battering an oppo nent Into insensibility. / His success, coupled with his free manners, a cer tain social triumph and his subse quent position as a semi-public char acter, proclaimed bim a sort of dig nitary In the sporting world. His hardest fight was with Jake i Kilrain. It was fought near New Or leans and lasted 75 rounds. That was the last championship contest In the United States to be fought with' bare knuckles, under tho old rules. That fight practically decided the uselessness of trying to beat Sulli van by combating him in his own sledge hammer style. A 39-round fight with Charley Mitchell, a wary and skillful boxer, seemed to show fighting managers that the great John L. might'be vulnerable to a man who could box well and stay with him long enough to wear him down. The opportunity to try this method on the champion fell to Jaa. J. Corbett. The purse was tho largest ever put up in a ring battle up to that time. Tho purse was $25,000 and the stakes $20.000. The fight that was to end John L.'s championship was fought before tho Olympic Club, of New Orleans. When the fight was over there was a new champion of the world. Sullivan was 84 at tho.| time of his defeat. Sullivan said himself that he made two millions in the fighting business and spent one million of it in buying drinks for himself and his host of ad mirers. Tho Foe.4 Ho Vanquished. He had knocked out two hundred men. of one sort or another, in his fighting career, and finally ho said that In a saloon In Torre Haute, Ind., in 1905. he gave tho "Black Bottle," his greatest enemy, the knockout wallop. On tho occasion of tho de cision with regard to tho 'Black JiotHo,' he said: ir "If I tako another drink, 1 hope I choke, so help me God." Ho never took another, but kept up his fight for tempor?neo hy lecturing occa sionally on the evils ol' drink for those who have athletic ambitions. S\ lie was horn in Boston October 15, 1 8r?S, and passed the later years of his life on a farm which ho owned noar West Abington, Mass. He was twice married. Ills first wife was Annie Bates, of Contorville, lt. L, whom he married in 1882, but with whom he lived only a fow months and from whom ho obtained a di vorce! on the ground of desertion af ter 2? years. At 51 years of .age Hie formo'r chrfnplon took as his second wife Kate Ilnrklns, of Roxbury, who was his sweetheart years ( before when bo was "Tho Boston Strong Boy." I . J. ?J. ?Ja ? J? ?J? ?J?

JOURNEYING IN FLORIDA, 4* Editor Keowee Courier: Quite ? number of my Oconee friends and relatives requested me to write them of the wonderful trip that has fallon to "Sam and me," so I thought prob ably a letter through The Courier would "fill the bill." Well, to begin at the beginning, we loft Seneca on tho '?{Ul-snow and ice everywhere. Wo did not exactly have to be backed Into the Pullman, but. we got in somehow and were soon lolling back, feeling as If we were millionaire tourists en rou te to Florida. We have looked upon very many beautiful scenes hero in Florida, but can truthfully say that nothing will ever surpass in grandeur tho scenery along the Southern Railway between Toccoa and Mount Airy. At all times those gorges and mountain peaks are very beautiful, but when covered with a white mantle of snow, words fall when we try to express the gran dour of this scenery. Old Yonah loomed twice as tall and Its sides and tho valleys below were a succes sion of mystifying statuary as bush and trees assumed fantastic forms'. Arriving at the Terminal In Atlan ta, we had only three hours to walt, so we had a chance to get supper in tho cafe lu the Terminal and .o see something of our greatest Southern city. At 9.30 o'clock we went aboard and were soon asleep. The next thing wo saw was "Away down In Geor gia." Just after daylight we passed the town of McRae, where live some of our Oconee relatives; then came Helena, the home In former years of Lem Stribllng and others of Oconee. A late train brought us to Jackson ville at 11 o'clock, and we had seve ral hours in Florida's largest city and a good chance to look around, but did not have time to see the ostrich farm, but hope to when we go up to tho State -Fair, the 4til of March. At 4 o'clock we were aboard the "City ol' Jacksonville," a beautiful steamer that runs between Jackson ville and Sandford. Of course this bountiful river, with its tropical scenery, ls world renowned, and as lt was our first view of real Florida wo enjoyed it greatly. One of the most Interesting sights we saw' was two warships in course ol' construc tion in the ship yard as we sailed away over the waters of tho St. John. The over-night trip on the river was most restful, and are waked up at Astor for breakfast, and a short rail road journey to U ma tilla. The St. Johns and Lake Gustie Railroad runs through grove after grove hanging with golden fruit. W? are At home with a friend of our chaperon, a lady from Chattanooga. The house is lu the center of a 27 acre grove of grapefruit and oranges. A few days ago we attended a county fair at the county-sent, of Lake county and saw a wonderful dis play of fruits and vegetables, such as only could be seen in July in Oconee. All of the roads throughout the State are either vitrified brick, as phalt or clay, and as there are few hills, road-making is an easy job, especially the clay roads. This work is done by putting clay on the sand, and in a short time it becomes as solid as brick. Autoing is ideal. Yesterday we visited Orland, the center of the citrus Industry. The Hfty milos was driven in an hour and 20 minutes, on three gallons of gas. Sam, as our driver, delighted in the fine roads-no dust, no mud. One stretch of road 26 miles long is of vitrified brick. Will tell you of Orland, which is one of the most beautiful little cities in Florida, In my next letter, as we go there next week to the 'Mid-Win ter Tropical Fair, which will be held on the 12th to 15th of this month.

Washington, Keb. 7. - Between, 822,000,000 and ?32,001),000 will be: spent by the government In the der velopment of Charleston as a war port, according to plans now being completed. The money is carried in the great urgent deficiency bill soon to be considered In Congress. Congressman n. s. Whaley was in a position yesterday to/ make a state ment for publication, and in doing so he tells what the government pro gram contemplates ?nd gives the stu pendous total of expenditures which show that this ls to be the greatest single project ever undertaken at Charleston or at any other point In (hat part of the country. When ask ed if he could not say something for publication, Mr. Wlialey replied: "There have been under way for several months examinations of Southern ports by tho War Depart ment for tho purpose of'using one of them ns a port for storage and em barkation. Owing to the* deep water of 30 feet from the ocean to tho navy yard the accessibility to the sea, the large harbor and splendid fortifica tions, Charleston has been solected. it ls proposed to oroct permanent buildings of tho most modern type for storage of supplies, ammunition, embarkation, etc. "Ih all the government will take between three and four thousand acres of land nt Charleston and will expend between $22,000,000 and $32,000,000.
