PT was easy money for me, that
'.'thousand dollars. Imagine get-
ting a. roll of twenty dollar gold
pieces like that for simply boxing
a round or two oiid then hitting ths
other fellow, on the : nose. Why, that
would make a 'man's' wages for six or
eight months In the boiler, shop, and at
' good pay too. ' I slipped some of it Into
the bank, but kept a few double eagles
la my poo-ketB Just for the fun of hear
ing them rattle and clink.- Some good
clothes and ... a new -Stetson with - a
brim as flat as your 'dinner table and
a few ties hit my fancy. I was begin

To add to the Joy of the occasion I

heavyweight, a husky fellow named
Van Busklrk, formerly a member of
- the Olympic club and amateur cham
pion, but now a professional and well
thought of. Ouo or two people told me
that Van Busklrk would eat me, but I
didn't think so. He was a big. fellow
with shoulders that would have touch
ed each side of a doorway. These
sb.ouUK.Tt sloped up to his ears, leav
ing htm without any peck worth men
tioning. - He bad big blue eyes and
pulled his eyebrows up until his fore
head wrinkled. He stuck out his low
r Up and looked as savage as he could
: when he talked about fighting, and his
. head was so flat behind. that hia thick
neck bulged out beyond It If you
' rolled a marble over Van's head from
front to back It would drop Into his
- collar. Hn bad long arms like a goril-
" la's And fists like hams They thought
: he vaa a terror, and be thought ao too.
r We made the match.
.' I was very anxious to fight Vad Bus
klrk and go n.'ter tin next fellow, who
ever he lulglit U But here uiy luck
shifted. 1 Uout know whether It was
the change of c.l uate or some foolish
. stunt or other, but anyway I suddenly
weut down With pneumonia. After
hard siege of it I found myself out on
the street, tblu at a rat and feeling so
weak that I could hardly walk.
A month at home for a vudt and
bunting trip, - and then, feeling so
strong and well that 1 couldu't stay
Idle any longer, I went north again,
looking for trouble. '
The first match I, was offered was
With Jack Ptelsner. Jack was a fair
, ly good heavyweight in bis time aud a
One fellow, Me was a big. strong
youugxter who left firing a locoiuo-
tlvs back east In Missouri and took up
' fighting. He might have bad . better
. luck lu the ring If he hadn't attached
himself to Bob Kltzalnimous for sev
rol years ss sparring partner. Fits
sliuinous was a rough man to work
With. He battered Bteltner up So
much that it took many a good fight
out of him. Btelsner was in Carson
wwlth Kltxslmwons. He wal bird at
work, and the match fell through:
Just about this time a little thing
happened that changed my ' whol
flighting career. If I hadn't become
acquainted with Harry Dirlwit In flu
Frauctaro ! might have gone along for
years fighting second rat era.
norry Orbett was one of Jim Cor
bett's brothers. , There were several
boys In the Cortiett family, all inter-
estod in sport in one way or another,
Joe nboiit that time was pitching for
ttie I.aKlii.'ire Orioles. Jim of course
was win id's champion and whs about
to flit FltzMtmiions a championship

. Naturally being the most prominent
fjiwuug mail in cuaiu ur ill lue wesi
and being -brother to Champion Jim
Corbett, Harry Corbett looked as big
as the president of the United States
to me. So when one day he asked me
if I'd .like to Join Jim at Carson and
work with him the idea hit me about
rights Harry sent for Billy Delaney,
who was with Jim and had handled
him In the great fight with Sullivan at
New Orleans. - Delaney came from
Oakland, and Harry introduced us.
Delaney looked me all over and then
In bis dry way asked me If I thought
I could stand hard work. - 1 i -j.
"Because," he said, "Jini is a nerv
ous sort of fellow and likes to drive
hard. He doesn't want any late sleep
ers In his camp."" - : . - 5
Well," I said, "I don't know about
Corbett,1 but no tssupvorker eould ever
tettorf lwt a pace for me." .
"And he's a bard man to work with,"
Delaney went on, trying to throw a
scare into me. "You'll be lucky if he
doesn't scar yon up a little." , i
"He'll be lucky if I don't put my
mark on him,'' said I.,
Hurry Corbett laughed, and Delaney
wasted no more time, but asked bow
soon I could pack my trunk. That
was ' easy. , I didn't bother with a
trunk. ; I wasn't any Tod Sloane to
come to Frisco, with fourteen, trunks'
and a do2en hat boxes. - A good, big
suit case And a furnished room satis
fled my wants. The suit case was
already packed. As it was cold .over
In Nevada and I didn't want any more
pneumonia, rgot a good overcoat In
few days Billy Delaney and I left
for Carson. " "
From Carson, we drove out to Shaw's
Springs, where Corbett was already
working. It lacked only about a
month of the big tight on March. 17

wasn't fighting a champion yet, but
within a few hours I'd know what It
felt like to be punched by a real ebam-
plon, and if I wasn't mistaken I would
know what It felt like to punch one.
Charlie White was a great friend of
Corbett's in New York. He was one
of the best known sporting men in the
east.- He- knew how., to train fighters
aud was an experienced referee; . They
tell me that he brought out a lot of
first class men in bis time.
Ous Ruhlin was a big young fellow
in Akron. He worked In 4 rolling
mill or something like that, and when
he wasn't working he played football,
After becoming a local champion
Gus went to New Tork to go after
something bigger. There everybody
told him to see Charlie White. ,, .
After awhile along came the Cor-
bett-Fltzsiiumons match. Fits went to
Carson to train, and Corbett, who had
been doing a lot of light work, fixed it
up to start for Nevada. - He was to
have Charlie White as an adviser as
well as Billy Brady, his manager, aud
Billy Delaney, who had tralued ulu
for the great fight with Sullivan lc
New Orleans. .
"Charlie,"- said Corbett, "I don't
want any clever sparrcrs. to work with
for this fight. FltzulwinoUs is
rough, awkward lighter, aud I want
some fast big man who can go at me
in his style."
I know Just the man yon want'
said Charlie, and he told CoiVtt all
about the football player in Akron.

Mb. Editor: .l r ; .
Our wise. able, ssgaeioua Governor
Kitchin rarelyfif ever wakes mistakes.
This is to eertify to tus fact that he
made no mistake when he appointed the
Hon. David L. Ward V : the judgeship
made vacant by the resignation of that
other eminent jurist ani splendid -gentleman
of your city, Judge; Guion.
Judge Ward took the oith of office on
the 30th, and two days after that was
here and entered upon 'Judicial duly as
the presiding judge , oi our superior
Court. Hia charge to , the grand jury
was an able and learned Expose of the
criminal law and his disquisition as to
the origin of the jury syitenv was In
choicest diction and happiest fluency of
speech. He presided with ease, with
dignity, without ostentation, was a mod
el of judicial decorum ana of gentlest
courtesy to alL .'L'.i ' -f:i
At this term several Vry. important
civil cases were tried, among them was
one big case involving bsween $30,000
and $10,000 of valuable Rash and Edge'
combe properties in which caveators
were seeking to set asidtihe will con
veying the same, 8 case,;impregnated
with many legal problem, propositions
and questions all of whictj he waa quick
to rule upon, having at J tongue's end
authorities and decisions if the higher
courts to sustain him in such rulings.
He waa absolutely fair aid impartial in
all his charges and held the golden scales
in such perfect equipoise j that he won
the esteem of every member of the bar. !
At the hour of adjournment last Sat
urday afternoon that great big, stalwart
lawyer, Frank Spruill, of j the Nash Co.
bar, who is opulently endowed and aa
great in legal acumen and gifted in or
atory as few men are, arae and on be
half of the bar, in his owll elegance of
speech, complimented Judge Ward on
his "demeanor on the bench, his concep
tion of the high duties of j his position,
the wisdom of his rulings And the unaf
fected courtesy' he extended ' to bar,
court official and every attendant and
predicted for him a long, ditinguished,
eminent service i hi Stale."-.. -. .
Judge Ward very .happily responded
to what Mr. Spruill so haadsomely said
and said that the kindly, generous man
ner in which he had been, received at
this his first court and by such men was
an inspiration and an incantive to high
er ideals and to live up to the high Stan
dard of the great judiciary of North
Carolina. v
I now conclude, as I began that Gov
ernor Kitchia made no mistake in ap
pointing Judge Ward to the bench, and
it is the wish of this people that the
voters of the Third District will be so
appreciative of his great worth and em
inent fitness for the position that on the
25th of Juns they will ratify the Gov
ernor'a appointment by giving Judge
Ward a full term of service on the bench

four days of the second week's cession

Sunday Schoel Convention
The County Sunday School Convention
to beheld here on Thursday 2nd June
promises to be the beginning of an in

Craven county Its purpose is to broad

of all Sunday school workers, by bring
ing them together in an annual gather
ing to exchange ideas and methods of
Sunday school work. Being interdeno
minational, it haa not only the strength
of its allied State, International and
World's Associations behind it, but al
so the combination strength of all the
Evangelical Denominations. Thus the
County Association is no small affair,
it is not a strsy key but belongs to a
whole bunch ot keys, which in turn is
linked to all the denominations. , The
Organized Sunday School work is so

Again the ranks of our thin lias of
Confederate veterans has lost another .
member, my old school mate, comrade,
mesa mate and tent mate. ' ' . -'
Comrade W. C Brewer haa crossed
over the river and answered to the hut
roll call; we were members together of
the 2d regiment Co. F. N. C, Stats
troops. " 'Criss" waa a true and faith
ful soldier and a companionable tent
mate. I never knew him to hesitate or
falter amid the hard duties of soldier
life in the Confederate army. He was
promoted to lieutenant, and for a con
siderable time had charge of a corps of
sharpshooters; waa wounded several
times, and very seriously at ChanceU
orsville. Vs. Ha waa on tbe line of
sharp shooters at tha memorable battle
of the Horse Shoe "Spottaylvania"
where we were engaged for 17 hours.
Criss told me be was just on the right
of oar brigade m we went, in action,
anl that be passed through the Stewart
yird where the moat severe fighting .
wss done, and as an assurance of its se
verity, Mr. Stewart told me a few yes
sgo that a tree in hia yard 22 inches ua
Diameter waa cut entirely down that
day by minnie balls, and aa a memento
of that battle a section of the tree thu
cut down was carried to the Smlthsoni-'
an Institute at Washington, D. C It
hard'y seems possible that any snan
could live where such clash of arms
took place.
