FEELEY’S first fight
AGAINST JEFFORDS.
Philadelphia JopW O’Brien Will
Meet Wlßiitri of Mntch.
George Feeley of Sioux City, who
will be big Jim Jeffords’ next opponent
before the patrons of the Savannah
Athletic Club Wednesday, May 27, will
arrive in the city probably Friday, as
lie left Philadelphia last night.
This will be Feeley's first fight in
the South, having arrived in Philadel
phia but two weeks ago. He is man
aged and handled by Peter Lowery,
who so long steered Peter Maher, the
Irish champion, through the rough wa
ters of pugilism.
Feeley is a big, strong, rugged two
handed boxer of the Sharkey order,
weighing about 195 pounds in condition.
He is to be admired for his confidence
in himself in taking on for his first
showing a boxer of Jeffords' calibre.
The patrons of the game in Savannah
got a flash of Jeffords form in his bout
with Himmler. In that bout he showed
himself to be not only clever and shifty,
but also a cool-headed boxer, throwing
nothing away and at all times having
a dangerous punch, as the saying goes,
•up his sleeve.” When Feeley gets in
the ring w'ith Jeffords he will have
to call into play all his knowledge of
the game, for he will have his work
cut out for him.
The winner of this bout will meet
• Philadelphia” Jack O’Brien, the clev
erest boxer in the world to-day, in this
city on June 10. O’Brien has signified
his intention of coming on here and
has notified Matchmaker Wilson that
he will post with the Morning News
the sum of $250 as a guarantee of good
faith.

SPORTING NOTES.
■ •
Billy DeCourcey is matched to fight
Jack Herresa at Salt Lake on May 24,
and if he wins he will try to force
Young Corbett to fight.
John Hertz and Mike Short have
posted their forfeits for Benny Yanger
and Eddie Hanlon, respectively, and
the June match between these boys
at San Francisco cannot fall through
unless through some fault of the club.
The fight was made contingent upon
Yanger winning from Broad, which he
accomplished easily at Louisville two
weeks ago.
Joe Nelson, the “Flying Schoolboy,”
and Charlie Wells, who accompanied
him to Europe, will reach New York
this week. Nelson will probably go to
Philadelphia for a few days’ training
while waiting for his new motor to be
made ready at Waltham.
It is reported that Lord Lurgan, son
in-law of Earl Cadogan, formerly Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, has been ap
pointed to manage the racing stable
of W. C. Whitney. He formerly looked
after the race horses of Baron Hirsch.
Tommy Feltz wants another bout
with Harry Forbes.
James Flynn of Pueblo, and Tim
Klssell, champion heavyweight of Fre
mont county, are matched to fight
twenty rounds June 6, at Florence, Col.
They will fight at catch weights for
$250 a side.
Realizing their physical inability to
get distance with the same ease as the
men, the women golfers seem to make
special efforts to work up a deadly
short game. In most of the approach
ing and putting contests their scores
compare well with the best efforts of
the men.
The entry list for the annual track
and field games on the Intercollegiate
Athletic Association is longer than ever
before, and all the champions of last
year are on it with the exception of
Willis of Harvard and Williams of
Princeton. Many newcomers who have
made good records in the preliminary
games will be there as well, and the
sports should be better than ever, given
a good day and track on the days of
the games, May 29 and 30.

HERE’S the story of a man who was near death’s door and was
saved by using Swamp-Root.
If he came to you and said: ‘‘My friend, do you suffer with
kidney trouble? Does your back
ache? Do you feel bad all over and
can’t tell exactly what’s the matter?
Have you tried medicines or doctors
without benefit? Are you about
discouraged ? Then do as I did, and
get well—Use Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root ! I know it will cure you.”
If he did this, would you believe
him ?
Wouldn’t you, if you were a suf
ferer. follow his advice, knowing
that he bore living, sentiment, vital
testimony to the wonderful virtues of
this great natural remedy?

ST. JOHN’S SUNDAY-SCHOOL
PICNIC WELL ATTENDED.
Excellent Music Added Greatly to
the Enjoyment of the Occasion.
The annual picnic of St. John’s
Church Sunday-school at Tybee yes
terday, was & highly enjoyable and
most successful affair. The largest
crowd which has ever attended similar
affairs in years past! went down on the
early, train, and this number was aug
mented by visitors and scholars in the
afternoon, so that when evening came
the beach and the spacious verandas of
Hotel Tybee were alive with the little
folks, while many of the older crowd
enjoyed themselves dancing on the ho
tel pavilion.
For the first time this season a good
ly crowd was in the surf. The unusu
ally warm weather made the old ocetxn
very inviting, and many took their first
dip in the waves this summer. The
music furnished gratuitously by Le
vin's Orchestra for the picnickers and
their friends, was about "the best ever
heard at Tybee, and was the subject
of much favorable comment from those
present. The new orchestral is from
Raleigh, N. C., and its engagement for
the summer insures good music ail the
summer long at popular Hotel Tybee.
The picnickers took down their bask
ets, and long before the lunch hour the
children began to make away with the
good things, the salt-ladened sea
breeze invigorating them and putting
a keen edge on their appetites. The
beach was filled with strollers and
bathers in the afternoon. Of course
there were the usual number of cut
feet, the youngsters wading about un
mindful of the sharp seashells hidden
at the water’s edge.
A large majority of the picnickers
came to Savannah on the early train,
but many remained on the island to
enjoy the dancing. The day was an
ideal one, and all hands, though tired
from the activity of the day, declared
the day’s outing one of the pleasantest
ever spent by the children of the Sun
day-school.
ENCAMPMENT OF Y. M. C. A.’S.
Plans In View tor a Merry Time at
Warsaw.
While there are no definite plans yet
made for an encampment of the Y. M.
C. A., the matter is being talked about
and it seems more than likely that ar
rangements will be made for a trip to
Warsaw, early In July, first for the
juniors and then for the seniors.
The plan that has been adopted by
associations in other cities and has
been found very beneficial. The usual
course is to take as many of the Jun
iors as wish to spend a week in fishing,
boating and roughing it at the sea
shore or mountains. Tents and pro
visions are carried, and while there are
some healthy and reasonable rules and
regulations, the restraints of city life
are thrown off for the time and ath
letic games, and sports are the princi
pal features of the time. The seniors
follow the Juniors to camp and a pro
gramme very much the same is car
ried out. It amounts to a vacation and
a rest, a change of scene and a relaxa
tion that cannot be had in any other
wav.
Physical Director Graham said yes
terday that nothing definite has been
done in the matter, but that he would
be glad to talk with the members of
the association who wanted to go out
for an encampment, He is very much
In favor of the Idea, and It will be easy
to make the arrangements if a sultl
clent number of members indicate their
desire to make a trip to the seashore
for a week's stay.
HUGO HUTT, PHILADELPHIA FIREMAN.
COLORED TROOPS PARADED
In Celebration of Anniversary of
Ilnttallou.
The annua! May parade of the First
Battalion Infantry, Georgia State
Troops, colored, took place yesterday.
There are seven companies in the bat
talion, four of them are located in this
city. These companies, along with the
Georgia Artillery, united in the parade.
Early in the morning a company from
.Beaufort arrived on the steamer Clif
ton, with a large excursion. This com
pany was entertained by the Georgia
Artillery.
The parade was formed at 4 o’clock
on Liberty street with the right rest
ing on East Broad street. On account
of the absence of Col. John H. De
veaux, the battalion was commanded
by Capt. Nelson Law of Company C.
The line was headed by Middleton’s
Band, followed by the staff officers
with Adjt. Sol C. Johnson, Quarter
master A. Bowen, Chaplain J. J. Dur
ham, D. D., and Surgeon G. B.
Whaley.
The following companies were in
line: Company C, Lieut. A. N. Thom
as; Company F. Capt. R. L. West;
Company D, Capt. J. Henry Bugg;
Company A, Capt. W. J. Pinckney, the
Beaufort band, Sumner Rifle Guards
of Beaufort, Capt. B. H. Houston;
Georgia Artillery, Lieut. A. A. Jones.
Some of the principal streets were pa
raded.
On account of the tabernacle service
in the Park Extension, Col. Deveaux
left orders for the companies not to
go there.
After the parade in the city the bat
talion had a practice march to Lincoln
Park, where a picnic was held until
midnight. About 1,500 persons were in
attendance, and it was a jolly crowd
of people who enjoyed themselves
without the least disturbance.
The battalion presented an excellent
appearance. All of the companies were
out with full ranks. The recent inspec
tion by Maj. French seemed to have
added much interest.
Last week Col. Deveaux visited At
lanta where he inspected Company B
on Tuesday night. On Friday he in
spected Company E in Macon, and
to-day will Inspect Company G in Au
gusta.
The Beaufort company and the ex
cursionists left for home last night. .

PERMIT WANTED”.
“Iz disshur de ’seßser’s offis?" in
quired a patron of ebon hue yesterday,
as he approached the precincts haunted
by City Tax Assessor Lucas and others.
The questioner was so black that
when he drove up in a dilapidated bug
gy it seemed a though the horse was
on a solitary excursion—couldn’t tell
the darkey from the cushion and seat.
He was told that his destination had
been reached.
“Ezacky so; an’ whaffur I do fer get
lincens fur bild ’e cowshed.”
“Where is the lot, old man,” said As
sessor Lucas, "upon which you desire
to erect this protective enclose where
under to shelter the gentle milk
producer, in order that the rains may
not beat upon her. and thunder storms
approach not—thereby providing
against trouble and possible expense?’’
“I ent kno’ wacher fer mean, boss,
but it am shorely a fac' de cow needs
perteeshun frufh de elements. It been
las’ week an’ de Baptis' week befo' dat

But the officer of the city was un
moved and remarked that the location
would be necessary before the permit
could be issued, and the disappointed
darkey went away—grumbling and
wondering why the required paper was
so hard to get, and what fire limits ar.d
other things meant.

SUFFERED FROM FIRE.
Town of Mas Meadows, Vo., Visited
by Flames.
Roanoke, Va., May 19.—The town of
Max Meadows, situated on the main
line of the Norfolk and Western Rail
way in Wythe county, fifty miles west
of Roanoke, suffered greatly by fire
this afternoon, when fourteen build
ings went up In smoke. The fire
originated in a stable and was caused
by someone smoking. The heaviest
losses are Hesser's drug store, with
stock, the residence of Mrs. Bridges;
the II J. Shaffer store building, the
Odd Fellow*’ Hall, and the office build
ing of the Max Meadow* Land Com
pany. The total loss will reach about
$50,000 and la partially covered by In
surance.
have, at no time, been surprised to
learn of my death. It was all due to
kidney trouble, for which I oould se
cure no relief. I was under the esars
of my family physician for a number
of years, but he was unable to do me
any good. I also consulted two noted
specialists on kidney diseases, but
they were unable to give me more
than temporary relief. I had already
made application to Join the army,
but was turned down on account of
my bad physical condition.
“I was advised to try that greatest
of all remedies—SWAMP-ROOT.
"I wrote to Dr. Kilmer & Cos., at
Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bot
tle, and its effect upon me was sq
noticeable that I went immediately
and bought a supply from my druggist
with the result that in a comparatively
short time I had entirely recovered and
became the man you see me now.
"1 served a number of years in the
army, and for the past four years I
have been connected with the Phila
delphia Fire Department. My work,
both in the army and fighting fires in
in Philadelphia, has been of the most
arduous, and work that I could not
do, did I not have a strong physique.
“I do not know what the words
'Kidney Trouble’ mean now, and do
not expect to. I cannot speak too
highly of Swamp-Root. A few bottles
of this great remedj did more for me
than a dozen physicians could.”
