Maynard Smyth, Cashier. Capt. Ji m Bell Attends a Professional Bout While in Greenville last week the writer, through the courtesy of the official referee. Capt. O- K. Mauldin, attended a wrestling match between Bert Hudson, champion welter-weight wrestler, and Pete Douglas, a Scotch Hercules. Hudson (or Al. Ackerman, as the sports call him) agreed to throw Douglas three times within an hour. The writer thought that to win a wrestling match all one haa to do was to throw his opponent off hlw feet, but according to the rules gov erning these contests the man who wins must put both his opponent’s shoulders to the mat for the space of three seconds. Indeed these men were not on their feet exceeding three minutes during the whole con test. and It was a novel sight to see two men wrestling in a recumbent position. Hudson is a wonder. W,miw It took him twelve minutes to !■ his opponent to. the bad in the first bout, the knowing ones said tnai he could have won the bout. at. any time he chose. It appeared to the novice, however, that the men were quite evenly matched, in spite of the fact that Douglas was on the defensive all the time. Hudson won the sec ond fall within five minutes from the commencement of the bout. Douglas then announced that his condition was such that he could not continue, and this ended the match. A contest between two men evenly matched and in good conditior would be an interesting sight and the writer would very much like to se* 1 such a match “pulled off.” There is an abundance of hard work, but there is nothing brutal about the sport and where the men understand their business the danger of getting hurt is reduced to a minimum. ANOTHER KILLING. Kiclttd by a Pony. Wyatt Lipscomb, bod of Hr. and Mra. J. C. Lipscomb, has a pretty little pony which he rides and drives. He Is very familiar with the little horse and plays with him a. great deal.

The fractured limb waa bandaged and splinted and Wyatt will be out playing with the pony in a few days.
