SKEWING CO,
the rabid American fight “bug” yearns
to see in action.
“Terrible Terry.”
There Is a prevalent, but mistaken im
pression that Carpentier is simply a box
er. and that he cares nothing for heavy
►exchanges. Joe Jeanette, who fougnt
Carpentier as recently as last March, is
authority for tlie statem’ent that ‘he
Trench champion is rm enlarged edition
of “Teivible Terry” McGovern at the
zenith of his power.
In reviewing his tight with Carpentier
upon his return to America, Jeanette
said to the writer:
“Don’t make any mistake about Car
pentier being dependent upon his clever
ness to win his ring battles. He is all
that Terry McGovern was in the days of
yore. Carpentier never stops rushing
:itrd is constantly trailing his long arms
at his opponent, lie took me by surprise
by his rushing tactics, and no on* in the
club was more astounded when tlie ref
eree awarded the decision to me a ft. eft*
fifteen rounds of furious fighting. That
was one time T got away with something.
Demonstrated.
“Carpentier is not lacking a wallop,
either. This he forcefully demonstrated
to me when he sent me flat on my back
In the very first round. A right hook
did the trick. My jaw soon swelled to
twice its normal size. That’s how havd j
that French boy can hit.”
So it looks as though Mr. Gunboat !
Smith has undertaken a man-sized job •
when he sailed across the sea to ex- 1
change punches with the best France has J
to offer in the fighting line. The sinewy
Buckley protegee is not the guinest man
in the world, contrary to the general
opinion. Ts there Is a saffron vein in
the person of Smith it will be brought j
to the suVface in this fight, for Car- ;
pentier will fight toe to toe with the
suposedlv deadly puncher. One or the
other will surely succumb to the bom
bardment. ' If the fight goes over ten
rounds, we are inclined to the belief
that Smith will seek an exit from the
ring to get away from this Gallic won
der.
Holy Terror.
Smith is of the tempestuous sort, and
unless he lands his knockout punch in
iHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
the early rounds, becomes easily dis
couraged. Carpentier is a tVanquil lad
outside of the ring, but once lie dons
the padded mit, he is a holy terror.
Smith will undoubtedly go into the
fray a pronounced favorite. This should
show some valuable additions to his
fighting category. It will be remem
bered dfrliat the Frenchman refereed the
Johns#*Moran fight. Carpentier is said
to have watched Johnson’s work intent
ly with a view of adopting some of the
negro’s methods of attack and defense.
In his training Carpentier has practiced
some little tricks of Johnson’s, and
should be proficient in their execution
by the time he enters the ring to fight
Smith.
Champion Johnson will appear at the
ringside to take a close slant at his pros
pective opponents. He has already con
sented to fight the winner and this in
centive should make the fight all the
more bitterly contested.

MINUTES IN
MANHATTAN
(By Gotham Knickerbocker).
New York.—When in Home do as
the Romans do. When in New York
throw' bombs. That is the only way
to keep even with the game. A Naw
Yorker must get acclimated to bombs
and bomb-throwing, bomb factories
and premature bomb explosions. You
may not believe this because you
don’t live in New York, but let me
remark right here that the center of
the bomb zone hereabouts is the
, marble and gilt police headquarters,
I home of a thousand anti-bomb enthu
siasts, at Centre and Broome Streets,
and there is no palace so exalted
home so humble that the bomb like'
i the useless Christmas gift is un
known.
| I live in an elevator apartment
much better than I can aiford on
Washington Heights and 1 congratu
lated myself that the altitude was too
great for bombs. But I was self de
luded.
New York apartment houses are,
or should be, celebrated for tl\p most
1 extreme luxuries and the most aHtroc
ious crudities of civilization on the
face of the twentieth century earth.
One of the most highly amusing
institutions of apartment houses is
ths purchase of ice. Ice is like chew
ing gum and almond chocolate, bars
in Manhattan, dispensed everywhere.
Some one has spoken of an “lee
-Tl'USt.” I could never find this benefi
cent institution. If it is still strug
gling along it has my moral support.
But all the ice I could ever locate
was in the possession of certain Cal
i abiians and Olcilians with wide rinH
and large earrings, who dwell in cel
lars of our apatrnent. Trere was
sharp rivalry between them, but It.
never took the form of price cutting.
There would come a heavy bhzz at
the damh waiter.
“This is the ice man. Any ice to
! day? " * .
I ‘Yes, .foe, ten-rent piece.
I A few minutes later another buzz
j at the dumb waiter and up it would
! come, a pitiful little chunk wiggling
weakly back and forth on the croak
ing dumb waiter and so obviously on
its legs that one thust It hastily into
the refrigerator for fear it might die
in transit. “Ten-cent piece'’ meant
that amount which a tenth of a dol
lar would buy at the current retail
price for lee. So the theory it one
stopped to reason. Tew did that.
One shouted:
“Give me a decent piece this time,
Joe; that last was terrible."
Then would come up a fairly re
spectable piecd with profuse Neapoli
tan apologies but the next day Ice
would be back to its old basis.
Then something dreadful happened.
Our superintendent—Janitor Is now
obsolete—went about denouncing the
“Joes" as thieves and all the tenants
were «o wrouKlit up that they finally
consented to take Ice from ' Mr.
John’’- thus the regular style of the
New York apartment house superin
tendent. The “Joes” were barred
from the basement where they nal
flourished 52 weeks in the year among
the feet of the dumb waiters; and
“Mr. John” started his service of Ice,
giving perhaps slightly fatter hunks
than did the Calabrians, but gener
osity Is characteristic of new mercan
tile enterprises.
“Bang!" .
Our dreams of being outside the
New York bpmb zone were shattered.
Considerable Binoke was Issuing from
the basement and scouting parties told
us that Mr John's department of Ice
waa wrecked. We all Informed the
police It was an outrage of course,
and there was an "investigalion.” t
"Bang!” , ..
This time In the middle of the
night Many of the more tempera
mental tenants troop to the fire as
cape In pajamas and what nols.
Windows In the basement positively
broken and by an Italian bomb. One
woman whispered time with tears in
her eyes she considered It as much a
disgrace as to be plagued with that
widely disseminated human compan
lon of the night season, which one
never names frequently pursues.
Just at present we are awaiting

THE BATTLE FOR
THE FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE
OF THE SOUTH!
An Open Letter From a Prominent Banker
“Thomson, Georgia,
July 9th, 1914.
Mr. H. C. Lorirk.
The Empire Life Insurance Company,
Augusta, Georgia.
Dear Sir:
l ha\e Just read with surprise the action taken, or undertaken, in
Atlanta yesterday to place The Empire Life Insurance Company in the
hands of a receiver. The first impression made was that the Georgia Leg
islature now In session should ai once pass a law forbidding any individual
from taking action of this nature against any firm or corporation without
V first giving bond to protect other interested parties. As a large policy
holder in The Empire Life, I protest against the action taken by one credi
tor with a disputed and unproven claim, and 1 suggest to the many policy
holders of the company in Augusta that we go in a body to Atlanta on the
18th, 'and protest against such action. While, of course. The Empire
Company will be represented by able attorneys and will defeat the at
tempt made to wreck this growing Southern Company, yet the public
should show' its contempt by appearing in open court and denounce the
action. I will join the. Augusta boys in this fight. A fight not alone for
our policy rights but for Southern rights as well. The battle for the finan
cial independence of the South will suffer a setback again if such a
large and prosperous company is made to suffer in this way.
The policy holders in The Empire Life should not get discouraged
and allow agents representing other foreign companies to induce them to
cancel their policies; they should hold what they have and Join in the. fight
to protect it from assault.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) J. T. NEAL.
(President Bank of Thomson,
Director Georgia Railroad.)
a gross underestimate, I( does a
great Injustice to the latest metropol
itan pastime. Bomb-throwing Is the
greatest gift which the men from
sunny Italy have brought to the Wes
tern World and It should have a Tnir
show. Every month the police fi
nally crush the "bomb trust,’’ dis
cover and bring into court the central
factory of all metropolitan bomb
throwers, anil arrest and extract con
lessions from bomb-planters by the
dozen. But the people’s diversions
cannot be wrenched from them so
easily. Bomb-throwing can no more
be uprooted in New York than play
ing ball in the street. Both are de
manded by our citizens and we must
have them. One never "makes an at
tack” on a political opponent these
days. One "tiirows a bomb Into the
enemy's camp”—see newspapers. And
there is much to lie said for bomb
throwing. It does not kill nearly so
many persons as football. It does
not induce tatty degeneration of the
heart if one later takes up a seden
tary life. It takes its devotee into
tlie open air and makes him quick wit
tod and resourceful. It is a simple
pleasure, not leading to drink, drugs
or degeneracy. It Is comparatively
cheap and easy to learn and it can be
taken up by old as well as young.
What the Fourth of July was once
homli-throwing Is now The unsafe
and Insane Fourth lasted ahont 125
years before It whs devitalized and
perhaps It. will take as long belore the
reformers will he aide to convince our
hetrogerieous population it Is an un
social act tiyldow up habitations with
bombs.
