but could not get up. Sullivan was
then counted out and Cot bett given
the light,
Corbett cane out of the light with
out a scratch. Tle crowd has gone
wild. Sullivan is badly punished and
is bleeding like a beef. The ovasion
that. Corbeit received was something
tremendous, James E. Corbett Wais
declared the m ine;r in the twernty-lirst
round. antd was declared the chanipion
of the world.
In all respects to-night's fight was
the greatest of the three. In point or
purse, in point of men and in point of'
crowd, and in point of excitement, it
excelled the battles already gone into
history. It was no wondr, therefore,
that those who could not go, or would
not go, forsook their beds and crowd
ed around the bulletin boards, eager
for news from the struggle of the gia
diators. When they made the match
t.hey me-ant i6 to be a decisive onLe in
its result. There was plenty of money
to back each niti -
Th'e Situllivan people dictated the
terms, and the other side had to meet
I he lea(l. Ten thousanld dollars a sido
was up- . as the wager. The Corbett
people aged to it without dem-ur.
' j:at hteant $20,000 as a starter. Then
there t-1me the question of a purse.
The OlyL)Ic is a Sullivan club, and
wanted the match at all haz.irds. It
offered 25.U0 for the mill, and that
princely sum was accepted. It was
agreed that the winner should have the
whole of it. The looser would fid no
solace for his work. Tihe conditions
were brief. They were to light to a
minish undir the Qtueeisbury rules.
That matns that the men nmist stand
up t-quarely and box, stripped to the
waist,each round to last three minutes,
and ono tmiinute rest. Nothing was
said about weights; each man was
privileged to carry tas much flesh as he
pleased.
Along with t he pi-se to the n inner
of the fight, goes thet championship
title ard to eac-h gladiator t hat meant
more thcan the coin that had been
wagered oti the result.
'The Sullivan pteople wvent to the club
first. They took a carriage at the hotel

with a string of hacks. 'The carriage
was closed anid few on the~ streets knew

Hardly a woman m colors or a ma1n With

Tho number ol iresh cases today have
becti 733, ain increase of 52 since yester.
day; the number of deaths 201, a de
crease of 46 since yesterday. The

to the (mrr-spotnditig decrease yesterday
in the inutmber of fresli cases. 11 olfer's
little ciafort, however, as t,he inciease
in the inmiber of fresh cases today will
be fllowed undoubtedly by a long death

ge-1eral feling that t,he pest has been at
its wort. and that, although it may not,
abate rapidly, it at least will not gain c
m.uc11h More ground.
The imnumber of hurials today has been I
315, or two more than yesterday. Still I
hundreds of bodies ire unburied. The

Cii A ii.l.S'roN, .epjt. :3.--IThe siiiion,.
ast ani present, in the 7 th Congres
iontal district presents some of those
uitny phascs of politics which bitter
actional fighting always bring about.
Ile famouis "Black Shoestring district,"]
>f South Carolina has noeen ever since
t, was formed almost a national issue.
'he Republican party (luring several
Jolitical campaigns, and rabid Repub
ican Congressmen on the floor of the
[louse of Representatives, have been
kccustomeid to employ as a never-fa-l
ig source of political capital the al
eged outrages coiuntted there.
The voting strength of the district is
robably thirty-four or thirty-live
,housand all told, divided in a ratio of
kbout eight or nine to one inl favor of
;he negroes, and the district has up to
I very recent period been dominated
)y the notorious Gen. "Bob" Smalls
md the little less notorious Ex-Con
gressnian Toin Miller. During a still
wave recent period the political in
.erests of these two worthies began to
%lash so fiercely that a bitter factional
knimosity was engendered and a third
wing of the party in the persons of
ieveral ollicials of the Charleston Cus
,om House obtained considerable
)ower. All three of these factions
were represented in the recent Conven
ion which nominated T. Wy. Murray as
candidate for Col. Elliott's seat.
If all of the wire-pulling which was
lone prior to that convention was made
anblic, it would make a very readable
:hapter in the political history of a
lietrict which is by no means wanting
n curious political lore. For several
nontlis Uten. Snialls and Tom Miller
iave both been candidates. The fact
s that there never was a race in the
listrict without both of those leaders
>eing in it.. Their candidacy is of that
)erennial character which flourishes
ilways and blooms every other year.
io every body knew that the old Smalls
Ailler feud wjuld come up again. A
hird candidate who could be counted
;n to be in the race one way or another
vas E, M. Brayton, a prominent, Alli
nce tan of Coiumbia, but ho was
.hought to be hitched out more in the
.apacity of a tark horse in case the
imalls machine failed to "specify."
The Custom House, the new power
m the dis.rict, had two representatives
i the comtet in the persons of J. 11.
Dstendorif and G. W. Murray. This
was the slate as it was given out to
Lie public, and thesu were ostensibly
the candidates between whom tie
chances of a nomination lay.
But people, not in the party, but with
neans of kaowing the inside working
>f several caucuses prior to the assem
ling of the Convention knew that,
'eally the strongest man in the race
vas a gentleman whose name had
iever publicly been mentioned in con
iection wi th t he nomination. The
Itstom HIousp streng)tl was for hini
olid, and it had been arranged long
go that under certain circumstances
liller was to drop out of the race in
is favor. However, the best laid
dlans o1 politicians went away just at
he critical moment and Murray won
in the lourth hallot.
There is, of coirse, no use now spec
llating upon the forces which cor
iued to smash tihe Custom Ilouse
late, but some of the Berkeley delega
ion who lounged around thre building
'esterday were openly denounciing
omn Ailler as the traitor in the camp.
A feature of the lat-e Convention
vhich has been a source of rmuch corn
rat ulation was tire fact that It settled
ecyondh a doubt that. "(Gen. liob" Smralls
as once anid for all been climiriated
rorm t,he Coingressionral pnossibilities of
he 7th district. When hre got into tihe
~onvention lie found himself ant the ~
ead of six delegates, arid even on the ~
1st ballot, when thu Smnails and Bray
on forces combined, nine votes was alli
lie, strength .developed. When thI
ritical moment arrived Mller failed
o "opecify" in the fullment of Ihis
ontract regardinrg the secret slate, aind
here was a regular stampede to Miar- ~
ay, resulting in Ihis nominatIon .
All of thins is inore or less interest,ing,
>un, there is anrothrer phase of the sit,ra

Sieriif Doar, county chairman of

ils authority i county chairman,
ruled hi.s Conservative comupetitor and
)tier candidats out of the primary.
i.'veii Irby and (overnor Tillian do
lot lie:iitate to condemni his acl 4):.
It will be rememl:,ured that previoum
,o the election the Conservative candi

,he given time' but inl order to prevent
,hat, he absentc hi inself from George
own, going on a fishing expedition
md only returning on tle morning the

vere then tendered hin and he refused
hem on the ground that it was then
0 o'clock and they should have been
lied by 8 o'clc :k that morning, and
,hatthe legal timei had expired.
The case was referred to State Chair
nan Irby, who said t,hat while it, might,
)e beyond his jurisdiction, tlie pledges
vere tendered himni in tiine, and that
tichi a ruling was not the intention of
he constitutilon, it being merely de
ired to secure the pledges, and the
luestiorn of time was not ink any way
ritul.
A[r. Walter Ilazard, tie Conservati ve
andidate for State Seiiator, was iii the
ity yesterday, and he brought the de
ails of interesting new developments,
vhich makes an ugly case for Doar.
Mr. 11az ird called on Gov. Tillmaun
1urinig the morning, and talked the
natter over with him. Later, Gov.
l'illiman, in talking of the case, con
lemned Doar'zi action, agreed with
Nlia', Irby had said as to the question
if time, and said tihat the voice of the
>eople in a South Carolina primary
,lection should never be drowned by it
echnicality.
Air. Ia:.ird, the newly elected State
ienator, gave an impartial statement
>f how Chairniaii, Doar is trying to re

THIRD PAITY POLITICS IN GEORGIA
Reviving th,o (li4 10lan of Night Meetin
ati Wild 'rmsil4et for Negroi.t.
FoAs YTir, G., Sept. 3.-- -Never, per
thaps, in the political history of' Georgi.
did such a state of affairs exist as at
preseint i Monroi county. This county
Is and lway3 has been solidly Demi
cratic, and no county in the State can
b,oast of mnor., gallant, true and trit(j
Il1emocrats than she, and as the days
go by the coustituents of the grand ol(I
party becom muore enthusiastic and
deterinii:i tai ever, anti daily num
bers who tre led to beli(-ve that the
p-irty of their forelather.- was rotten
and corrupt have once more sworn al
legiance to the grandest aid purest
party the world has ever known. The
peopie's party grows weaker and weak
er and only tae leaders will be let'L to
see it vanisa into oblivion ---seeing as
they do the party of Watson and Wea
ver fadir fast away, a few and un
principled and debased leaders in% this
county aie eiiploying the sami misera
ble methds to get the negro vote as
their "own" Watson in the tenth.
Almost night ly negro school houses
and sonetin:tes barns are the scenes
that would make any true soutnern
man reg1rd them with contemupt and
shiamle. A few ignorant corntield
negroes assembled in a rustic school
house dimly lighted wit it a pi at) knot,
an Allianct lawyer who represents
several NortLern loan associations, and
an Alliance prea.her, who has forsaken
Christ and is devoting his tine to ad
Vaucilig the ominipoteice of Tom Wat
son and third partyism, was the scene
that was en-ct.ed a few miles from
here on Saturday night.
'ie negroes were sworn to secrecy,
so that nio white men save the speakers
would kn sw anything about these
meetings and it was purely accidental
that the leaders were detected in their
diabolical actions. A trusted farm
hand working on the plantation of a
prominent farmer told him of the won
derful things that he had heard the
night, before at the school house. How
negroes became frantic with joy as
they were assured that if they would
vote with the third party that Tom
Watson was going to usher in an era
of prosperity that they had never bC
fore known.
They wout he paid $150 and $1.75
per day, thus enabling them to live
imore comfortably and that they could
then joim hands with the whites and
be as one. Sitch scenes were never be
Fiore witnessed, as the negroes in genii
ie barbaric style clapped their lands
amd danced to the imusic of sacred
songs aid 4fort-d prayers to the speak
ers who h ii so urnnercifully deluded
them in their ignorance. The extremt
measures .ilupted by the leading ele
tinunt of th people's part, is -loing il
