Ever since the race between the j Reo and the Ford there has been bad j feeling between Mr. S. E. McMaster! and Mr. E. A. Jenkins, and this cul- ! i minated in a fisticuff yesterday. Both were badly bruised about the face. For many months the merits and demerits cf the two puffe/* wagons have caused heated arguments, all of which resulted in the race'from Co? lumbia to Augusta in which the Ford, driven by Mr. McMaster, was award? ed the race over the Reo, driven by Mr. Jenkins. The latter claimed that it was no race as the terms of the agreement had been violated by Mr. McMaster relieving Mr. Jacobs at the throttle of the Ford. There has been quite a lot of feel? ing over the matter. Mr. Jenkir.s has been a hard loser and has declined to speak to Mr. McMaster. Sunday he made this very pointed in the pres? ence of company which precluded ary further discussion. The whole matter might have been settled amicably before yesterday but for the interference of "busybodies" who kept the two autoists from cool? ing off af:er the excitement of the race and the subsequent joint debate before a committee of arbitration. Yesterday morning some kind of ru? mor was borne to Mr. McMaster's . ears and h-i set out at once to find Mr. Jenkins. The lat? er was not in his garage and Mr. McMaster went on down to Dr. A. S. Heyward's drug store. Mr. Jenkins was seated, talking to Dr. C. I W. Barren. After first inquiring if there were any ladies in the store. Mr. McMaster approached Mr. Jen? kins and accused the latter of having acted in'a cowardly manner through? out the whole controversy and struck Jenkins in the mouth. Jenkins thinking there were ladies in the office of the drug store, was slow about retaliating and proposed an adjournment of hostilities to a neighboring back yard. But McMas? ter's "dancier" was up and the inevit? able happened. The bystanders al? lowed the combatants to pound each other a few times, as it was a manly 5ght between two muscular fellows ivithout weapons. Finally they were Iragged apart by Mr. Alfred Wallam, Mr. J. R. Person, Mr. G. Flavie, Dr. A S. Hey ward, Dr. C. W. Barron ann )thers. McMaster bled profusely and Jenkins has a much swollen face with 3ne bad bruise on the right side of lis nose. Officers Dreher and Broom, unde? nstruction from Chief Daly, sum? moned the belligerent autoists to ap >ear today The affair is generally re? gretted, as the two. young men art copular, ei:Ch with his own side, and he automoble enthusisasts are divided n their opinion of the difficulty jusi ts they were as to the merits of tht ace. Several were heard to express th? vish that no further exciting remarks >e carried between the two and thar ; . truce, if not a reconciliation of so nv :ind be effected.-The State.
