APRIL 9. 11)02. Dispatches sent out from Charles- j ton a few days aj;o announce that I it local athletic club is making efforts to pull off a prize fight at the exposition grounds in that city between Jeffries uiid Filzsimmons, professional pugilists. Indeed, it is stated that the promoters have I gone so far as to offer the prospective principals a purse of $20,000, and that Fitzsimmons lias signified his willingness to accept the offer. All this in the face of the statutory provisions prohibiting prize fighting in South Carolina. It may be i that the whole thing is simply a ruse to advertise the exposition, 1 and that it is not meant to be , taken for its face value, in which event perhaps no hurm will follow, though it ia a lamentably disparaging way to inv itejiittention loan enterprise wkicb abw'nds with le- ' gitimate ami meretricious attrac- | tions. Hut assuming that the ef- I f >rts which are making to bring this brace of bruisers together in South Carolina are bona tide, then a quietus should be put on the undertaking at once. We prefer to believe that Governor MoSweeney will not allow the name of our State to be disgraced by permitting a prize tigln in it. If he does, we shall be greatly dis ippointed in him. Since the foregoing article was written and put in typo Governor McSweeney hnH stated positively that Jeffries and Fitzsimmoiis will not he permitted to liglu in South Carolina. The Jenkins Sword. In recognition of his services with the Hough liiders during the Spanish-American war, a sword will be presented to Major Micah Jenkins by President Roosevelt in the city of Charleston some time during today. The sword is given i as Hit expression of feslin^ from \ the people of South (Carolina, who ?1 ici not like the way in which the president was treated and who I wish to show by a^nin inviting hint that they r.^ret the occur- j renee. It iH also felt that Major Jenkins iH entitled to the sword. The blade of the sword in of French manufacture, the hilt Hiir- j mounted by an aqua-marine stone Set in diamonds, and its value' is said to be nearly a thousand dollarrs. On the scabbard is shown the palmetto of South Carolina. On the blade is this inscription: "Major Micah J. Jenkins, llou^li ' Riders.

As attorney for Miss Hepzibnh Uye, ol itocR Hill, W. \> . Lewis, I Esq., on Monday, filed it complaint against tin* Jotirnnl Publishing Co., of Rock Hill, claiming $3,000 dam- ! ages on account of alleged lihd published in that paper in its ishuh of October 15, 1901. The grievance of the plaintiff grows out of a story published by the defendant, relating to the alleged engagement of the plaintiff to a Elorida sea captian. as the result SjHof a newspaper advertisement, etc. The plaintiff holds that the pub- ' lication was "wilfully and maliciously false and defamatory," and calculated to bring her into coutempt, etc. ifek fc. ^ Brief and Breezy.
