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.

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
