Chailsston, April 7. ?Alter au extended coufereuoe with president Wa. ener and * cc bun it tee of business mv.n of the city, (jev. McSweoney announced at midnight tonight that he would not allow the JefTrios-Fitzsimmous tight to be pulledotT in Charleston. He i said it was the first time the m?t- I ter had besn brought to his atten ti >n officially and as the law was very pointed he could not take any other course He added that he would call out the militia if necessary to prevent tho contest. Although the effort to secure the mill is now ended, as Mr. J. C. Jauden telegraphed to New York early this morning withdrawing ! his nffor. Mr. Jauden said he would not post the $10,000 forfeit demanded by .Jeffries in view of the attitude of Gov. McSweeney. The governor has examined in- j' to the law on the subject, and finds that there is a provision in the constitution itself at Art VIII , section 12, on tho subject j reading as follows : 1 "All prize-fighting is prohibited in this State, and tho general assembly shall provide by proper laws for the prevention and pun- { ishnient of the same." Tho net on tho subject as it np 1 pears in the Townsend code reads as follows : Section 251. It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to engage in prize fighting, or to bo n second in :i prize fight, within ' the limits of this State, and any < person violating the provisions of this section shall he punished by a ' fine of not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. Any person or persons, either upon their responsibility or as officers or agents of any club or association, who shall aid or abet by offer of a purse or money or other valuable inducement, or bv letting or giving the uso of a house or greuuds, or who shall in any way whatsoever effect or cause a violation of this section, shall be deemed guilty ef a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding six months or by a line not exceeding $200. '1 The term prize fight bag always b<*es construed by the courts to ( mean any coute. t with or without gloves for a purse. The Jenkins' Svord. ? i!

"The South and the Democratic IV i n I rarry." Charlotte Observer. This is u characteristic editorial nf The New York Sun, appearing under the above heading: The unanimous selection of Mr. Griggs, of Georgia, as chairman of the Democratic Congress committee, wa* only a just recognition of the dominance of the South in that party. All except 5 of the 29 Democrats now in the Senate are from the South. All except 45 of the 153 Democrats in the House of Representatives of the present Congress are from the South. The Seuth, therefore, is entitled to the lead rshipof the committee on which will lie imposed the duty and rosponsihilit\ of the campaign of the Demoeracy this year for the control of the House ot Represent latives. It is entitled to Deaio. cratic leadership generally, in the campaign of 1902 and in that of 1904. The Democratic party would bo without hope except for the Southern States. There are its brains and the only majorities ? pon whicli it can relay. Obviously therefore, the time has come when to the South belongs the shaping ! of the Democratic national policy; ' and logically the candidate riomi | nated Wy the Democratic national ' convention in 1904 should be aj representative of the dominant! Southern Democracy.'' Could any thing be more artful ? The unwise choice, by the Democratic caucus of an unknown j jieorgian as the chairman of the longressional committee gives hie smart Republican paper the >pportunity to call attention in his veiled way to tho fact that lothing is left of the Democratic mrty outside of the South; and if t could induce it, by the reasonng adduced from tho facts, to lominate a Southern man for ^resident in 1904, it would have he Democracy just where it wants t. If the party is wise it will, nstead of doing this., address ' udlf t'O rroinin/v enn* n ?* ' fctvvaa. vv m. v ^uiuiu^ OWIIIO U1 JIM ost strength in the North und (V est. bailor of Cruiser Cincinnati Killed by Trolley in Charleston Ipecial to Tho Stute.
