NEW rue CHAMPION
Tmmmmj, Kifktlai Maria*, (icta De<
ckfat yrtr Deapity
Kingskfe* Philadelphia, Stpt. 23.?
1 <i?n# Tunnay, the fighting marine* i?
the new heavyweight champion of the
world. He dethroned Jack Dempaey,
fchag fojr the laet seven years, tpnigbt
by smashing his way to decisive victory
in s ton-round match that went
the limit and furnished one of the
greatest upaets in boxing history.
lV?mp?ey, only e eheli of hlf old
fighting self, was outboxed end outfought
from the start to finish, in a
one-eided battle that was decided in s
driving rain before e record crowd of
' 132,000 spectators.
This great throng, forming e spectacle
unprecedented in sponU annals,
paid close to $2,000,000 to witness the
match that fell far short of the senaatlonal
heights expected of it.
Htpnned. at first by the smasing
slowness, the lethargy and lack of the
old lighting fire in the champion's ati,
tack, the dripping throng cheered the
efiallenger ou as he steadily hammered
and battered hie way to triumph,
piling up points that gave him an
overwhelming margin and earned him
the unanimous decision of the fudges,
Tunney, reaching the pinnacle of a
fighting career that started when he
was a buck private in the ranks of
the marines* fought a masterful battle,
outgeneraling Dempsey at nearly
every turn as well as out-punching
the champion with convincing case.
The battling product of the sidewalks
of New York's Greenwich Village, at
the age of 28 fairly won his laurels
and clearly demonstrated hjh cVight
to the purple robes of pugilism.
But the handsome, rugged challenger
dethroned a man who came to
the end of the championship train
with few weapons and less stamina to
defend his place at the top.
Dempsey entered the ring a 4 to 1
favorite, backed as heavily as *ny_
champion in history. Expert*, hhd
proclaimed him fit, in spite of his
three-year lay off, 'but except for a
gallant stand and a few flashes of
his old self, he wasjfirtclaseed.
Dempsey was far from the furious
fighter, the "tiger man" who smashed
his way to sensational victories over
Jes? Williard, Georges Carpentier and
Luis Firpo. Gone was the devastating
punch, the furious aggressiveness
thut marked him as one of the most
feared men in the ring.
Instead, he seemed in a daze from
the sturt, unable at any time to sustain
his attack for more than a few
seconds.
Occasionally, he connected with
long lefts or right hooks to the head
and body, but these no more than
jarred the challenger temporarily.
Always Tunney came back, punching
with rights and lefts from the
shoulder, rocking- DempseyV head
with short but powerful blows.
It was Tunney's terrific right hand !
blow to the head, chin and ribs that I
decided the battle. This blow, delivered
like a ram rod, broke up Dempsey's
rushes, opened cuts about his
.face, and finally in the last round,
closed his left eye completely.
Dempsey was a sorry sight in the
final rou,ud as Tunney, realizing victory
ami the goal of his fighting
career was in his grasp, threw caution
to the winds and lashed the champion
about the ring.
Gamely, Dempsey, weaving and
"bobbing, bored in, but he succeeded
in taking a steady stream of punishment.
With one eye closed, blood
dripping from a gash under his right1
eye, his mouth cut, he reeled, and his
knees ' wobbled under the furious
shower of Tunney's attack.

FARMERS SHOW INTEREST.
ClfBHia Farm Power and-Machinery
Day AIUmM by 3U.
Olamaon .College, . Heptei)40t>er 24.
Farmer* of the Piedmont are determined
to cut their cost# of production
by use of labor-egying machinery and
machine /power." Thl? attitude was
manifepC by 8ft0 or 400 farmer* of the
foirnef Piedmont countiea who attended
the "Farm Power and Machinery
Day" meeting and demonstration, here
yesterday and eagerly sought solutions
to many of their perplexing
problems.^
"How large must a farm be to use
a tractor economically?" "Can a tractor
be used on Piedmont hills?" "How
many things can I do with a tractor?"
type of farming is best adapted
to trbfcthr use?" These and many
similar qii<Mfejfrte Were fired at speakers
by th^jwger farmers. Experienced
trmctidd farmers and authorities answered
these questions in terms of actual
experience with the pame degree
of enthusiasm and confidence.
Wade Drake,^ model power farmer
of Anderson county, who this summer
cut a world record crop of 128 bushels
of oats to the acre, declared that he
had been farming with machinery
ever since he started farming. Almost
everyonetflwbo had tractor experience
testified that the tractor could be well
used for all crop practices except cultivation
and some harvesting. They
went so far as to say that a man
could 'hardly hope to farm with cover
crops unless tractors and labor-saving
tools be used.
Dr. E. W. Sikes, President of Clemson
College, welcomed the visitors to
Clemson and urged that they use their
college in solving problems.
Prof. J. T. McAlister, of the Agricultural
Engineering department,
briefly discussed the purpose of machinery
use on the farm. "Sixty pet
cent of the cost of a crop is the production
c6*t, The one purpose of this
meeting and the one reason for using
farm tools and power machinery is to
reduce the use of man-power and lower
the coat of producing crops," said
he.
J.B. Douthit, Jr., a wejl-known tractor
farmer of this region, related his
^experiences Hiid answered questions.
C. S. Patrick, superintendent of the
college, farm, Profesor R. W. Hamilton,
acting chief agronomist, and C.
Y. Timmons, of the International
Harvester Company, made talks. I). V.
Watkins, Assistant . Director of Exsion,
presided over the mooting. During
the afternoon a mowing demonstration
was given with Farmall and
Fordson tractors. Oliver machinery
was also on exhibit,^ ?
Preacher Hadly Injured.
Spartanburg, Sept. 28.?Little hope
for the recovery of the Rev. E .S.
ones, presiding elder of the Columbia
district of the Upper South .Carolina
Methodist conference, who was injured
in an automobile accident near
here this morning, was entertained
tonight by surgeons. The minister'^
spine was fractured when the automobile
ip which he was riding with Mrs.
Jones and the Rev. R. E. Stackhouse
and the Rev. J. C. Abney turned turtle
after striking a sandy portion of
the road. Mrs. Jones suffered a broken
arm, while the other occupants
escaped with minor injuries.
Surgeons described Mr. Jones' condition
tonight as "extremely critical."
> The party was en route to Spartanburg
from Columbia when the* accident
occurred.
Feature* at State Fair
Columbia, Sept, 27.?The fiftyseventh
annual South CarolinaeState
fair is "just around the corner,"
the dates this year being October
18-23. The veteran secretary, D. F.
Efird, is confident that this year's
fair will be the best ever given.
There are many splendid features
for the 1926 fair. The officials have
planned a well balanced program so
as to give the people both educational
features and amusement. The Carolina-Clemson
game will, of course, be
playqd at noon Thursday. There will
be a fine historical pageant, a^ largel*
flower show than ever before, horse
racing, tilting tourney, and other
interesting events.
Much interest has been shown by
the people throughout the state and
it is believed that the crowd will he
even larger than the record crowd of
last year.
The league of Nations assembly in
session at Geneva, last Friday night,
adopted a resolution calling for a
general disarmament conference to be
held by the nations of the world at
some date previous to next September.
The coming series of baseball
games for the world championship
will be between St. Louis of the Nnj
tienal association, and New York of

Auto Runs Away
Detroit, Sept, 20.?A runaway automobile
zig zagged down a street to-1
day, jumped a curb, crashed the aide|
of a bifiek building and came to a
stop a few inches from the bar of ap
alleged negro bootlegging establishment
with a 'headless driver at the
wheel. _ , , ..
The amazed patrons fled In all directions
and police were able to find
only one witness of the accident, the
bartender, who was so frightened theyi
had a time in getting the story from
him. ? '
The driver lost control of the machine
and was decapitated by parf of
the wall the machine ploughed
through. v , 0 ,

A Goat ChalTeur. \. \
While much is being said of drivers
I of automobiles, both wise and otherwise,
to Mr. J.'L. Frierson belongs
j the honor of having one of the most
unique chaffeurs extant?this in the
person of a goat. Mr. Frierson drove
his Ford into his yard in the Stateburg
neighborhood, and left the machine
in gear as a precaution from its
coasting. Tho goat saw him drive up ,
and evidently decided to do some experimenting
on its own hook, so he
jumped into the ear, and it took only,
a few minutes for him to step on the
hidden spring which started the car
in motion. All went well and he was
enjoying his ride, but failing to acquaint
himself with the steering apparatus,
bis joy ride came to a sudden
and terrific .stop when the car collided
with a tree. .The car was quite badlyshaken
up by the impact. The goat
jumped out arft started back to the j
house, a sadder but wiser goat, but
unhurt. A lot of things have been j
said and written about the Ford carf|
but Mr. Frierson has a combination i
that has never been heard of before.?

, THE FLORIDA STORM
(Continued From Page One)
rium being dowrj completely in a
twisted pile of cement walls and brick,
while the rear of the building in which
was the pulpit, large pipe organ,
dhoir seats, etc., was left in apparently
almost perfect order facing and
open to view from the street.
At Fort Lauderdale a Large two}story
automobile sales garage had
entire top story walls and roof blown
ajfcray on two sides leaving a floor with
a dozen or more new Jewett sedans
sitting out in the open on the second
floor, on the street 20 feet below lay a
pile of twisted and wrecked new cars
that had plunged off this same floor to
the street. >
From personal observation I have
no doubt that one cause for so much '
damage being done to houses was the
cheap manner of construction which
has been resorted to in recent years;
since the hoom. Ninety out of ft hun- j
dred homes are built of hollow sand,
tile, With stucco on the outside and
these kind of houses literally melted
and crumbled to the ground from the
torrential rains and terrific winds.
How much trouble it will be to repair
such buildings and put them back in
gbod shape can hardly be estimated.
Ih thousands of cases where they have
not been blown down completely it
will undoubtedly be easier to tear
them down and rebuild entirely.
The crying need in Florida foif some
time to cdme will be carpenters, laborers,
and above ?U money. Almost
everything that has been built over a
period of years, needs rebuilding now .
at once.
The Miami people, however, are*
"most of them, very optimistic in spirit
and appearance, although they must
be sick at heart to have to face such
utter desolation and ruin. Many stores
which had just reopened the day we
arrived after some of the debris had
been cleared away, had such cheerful
signs in the windows as "Open for
business with a smile," . "Why don't
you smile, U R not dead." A large
cafe operating with a full house and
feeding hundreds of people, had a sign
"No advance in prices?if you are
penniless, coffee and doughnuts free."
By the time of our arrival, the
wounded and dead had all beep assembled
in hospitals, school buildings
churches* etc., and were in complete
control Of the medical and Red Cross
units, and except for the frequent
dashing of ambulances thru the
streets with shrieking siren, we saw
little to give us any idea of the loss
of life or injuries sustained. . *
Our (main regret was that we were
obliged to return home for business
reasons so early and did not "have a
greater chance to see more and be
longer with these unfortunate people.
They ar4 sorely in need of help?es;
pecially in the way of laboring people
to help clear up and rebuild. No
matter how much money one h?
down there, it Is weU nigh impossible
to get any work done. Thou sands
were working feverishly alone on
their own wrecked homes trying to
put back roofs or -broken walls so s&
to keep out threatening rains which
would again soak and ruin bedding
and furniture which had not yet dried
from the storm-??We
left Miami Thursday morning
and returned here about 5 p. m. Friday,
having been gope four days and
two hours, thirty-six hours of which
were spent in the storm area below
Wept Palm Beach. On our return trip
we passed many tattered and battered
automobiles, bent and dented In various
Ways, loaded with people and belongings
leaving Florida,, many of
them said, "never to return."? On the
other hand we met a much greater
number of cars going to Florida, anxious
to find out, about- rnintiwa, friends
or property dpwn there.
' The effe<rt-~of thfirdisaster on Florida's
future is of course problematical,
but Florida will undoubtedly come
bark eventually. In all probability.
this winter will see a more or less
demoralize^ state of affairs down
there. An influx, of common people
and laborers will likely take place and
this may keep out many of the better
class tourists. . H<*w?ver? inuthe long
run, this may. help, for somebody has
got to d<i*u lot of work to build the
place back .
