"Pug" Hinton of Brevard again lemonstrated considerable ability as v young boxer when he knocked out ?'Speed" Morgan of Greenville in the fourth round of a scheduled eight I'ound bout, the headliner at Osceo la Lake pavilion last Monday night. Hinton outclassed his opponent from he beginning of the fight. The final blow landed just below the heart and followed a speedy attack shortly after the opening of the fourth round which drove Morgan to the ropes in his own corner. Morgan went to the canvas in the third taking a count of eight when the bell ended the round and did not seem to have fully recovered when the fourth opened. Hinton's rapid fire at Morgan's body soon ned ed the fight. Hinton's clever in-fight ing was in evidence in this bout. Hin ton weighed 155 and Morgan 156. Eddie Smith, 177 of Traveler's Rest and Hugh Moore, 178 of Charleston, ! W. Va featured the 8 round semi final. The fighting was about even during seven rounds and in the eighth Smith was a shade better and receiv ed the decision. Jimmy Drake won from Hoyt Young "in four rounds and Pete Pet erson received a decision over "Bear cat" Davis in three. Each bout went the scheduled limit. The Battling Bearcat of Jumpoff Mountain as I Davis is known to his friends started to mix things with Peterson after getting a sharp rap on the nose in the first round, but Peterson being more experienced kept Davis away. There was real entertainment while it lasted in the colored bout between Charlie Milton of St. Petersburg and Bill .Gray of Hendersonville, in which the local colored boy took the count in the first round of a scheduled six round fray. The St. Petersburg fight er was too much for Gray who stop ped a Stiff left to the face almost as soon as the bout started and was dropped. Gray kneeled while listen ing to the referee's count, all the [MERRILLS ENJOY A | REAL HOME-COMING I A large number of people attended the Merrill family homecoming held at the home of Mrs. Rachel Merrill [ on Little River Sunday August 7. | All the children anct grandchildren of Mrs. Merrill were present includ ing: Mr. and Mrs. J.

Opposition I s Encountered : When Those Who Pay j Are Called. | Raleigh, Aug. 10. ? Opposition de jveloped to the proposal of the insur jance carriers to increase premium on i workmen's compensation insurance in : North Carolina from the employers who have to pay the insurance, when a hearing was held before Dan C. Boney, State Insurance Commissioner as the hearing was continued until August 31, when the proposal will be presented and i-ro" vxaminalion per mittee. > t Ths N. C. Inspection and Rating Bureau, composed of three mutual and three stock companies, with Com missioner Boney as chairman, had planned to submit the rate increase petition the day before, but each, group had a different schedule and no agreement had been reached when the employers met at Mr. Boney's call Friday. The insurance companies sny they lost on premium income enc insist that they need an increase, estimated at from 12 to 18 per cent. The N. C. [industrial Commission, which ad-| 'ministers the Workmen's Compensa tion Law, met with the employers of labor to oppose increases, unless justified by the three years of North Carolina experience, not on national experience. Chairman Matt H. Allen and Commissioner J. Dewey Dorsett, of the commission, made statement* which they claim shows a decreased cost to the insurance companies, and show a decrease in premium rates, rather than an increase, may be justi fied. In fact, the employers and their representatives and the Industrial Commission members "took" the meeting and the proposal of the in surance companies was not even made. Congressman A. L. Bulwinkle was present to oppose an increase in rates on behalf of textile manufac turers of Gaston county. The post ponement until August 31 was asked so facts and figures can be presented. CHAPMAN REUNION i MOST HAPPY AFFAIR (Contributed) On Sunday, August 7, a reunion wa3 celebrated at the home of Mr. i and Mrs. James Chapmaa of the | Quebec section. At that secluded ! mountain home where the sound of j rippling waterfalls ever furnishes sweetest music and the giant oaks j beckon with a coo! and shady retreat, ; a hds< of friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Chapman enjoyed an occasion which ?will not soon be for- ! gotten. I For the first time in tert years, all j the children gathered back to the j old r.ost front whence all but one have flown. One son, Barney, still remains | with his aged parents. Ten years ago ' the seven children met for a family I reunion and since that date all of them have never been back to the old home at the same time. However happiest hours often are fraught with saddest memories, one of those pres ent ten years ago was missing. A son, Carl, had been called into that Great Beyond and as the remaining six gathered with their parents and nu merous relatives and friends thare was no doubt a thought of the dear departed one, in the minds of each ' and the question arose, wiil this circle be unbroken when we meet again next year? T. H. Galloway of Brevard, N. C., a brother of Mrs. Chapman, made a short talk after which a bountiful dinner was spread upon a long table on the lawn, and truly, there were ' basketfuls removed after all those present had fared sumptuously. The six children were: Henry and ' Barney Chapman, both of Quebec; Mrs. H. L. McCall and Mrs. W? J. Raines, of Lake Toxaway; Mrs. A. N. Collins, oft St. Petersburg, Florida, and Mrs. Eugene King, of Kings Mountain, N- C. In addition to these sons and daughters, there were present twelve grandchildren, Sve great grandchildren and a number of relatives and friends from this state and South Carolina. J. H.
