JEFFRIES TALKS OF BEATING
JOHNSON.
Says Ketchel is a Middleweight and
That Ills Defeat la of No Slgnifl
cance.
Queenstown, Oct. 17.?When Jas.
J. Jeffries, the American heavyweight
ougilist, who Is a passengor on the
Steamer Lusl.iana, bound for New
York after a period of training in a
suburb of Paris, heard of Jack John?
son's victory over Stanley Ketchel at
San Francisco, he said that this in no
wise would affect his plans. Ketchel,
he added, was only a middle-weight,
und not by any means the best of the
middle-weights.
"Ketchel," continued Jefferies, "is
trying to feed himself up to make the
heavy weight class, but it will only
weaken him. Johnson isn't much of
a fighter and he never met a good
man. His tk?ht with Burns was no
test. Burns is a newspaper fighter.
"1 can only hope," Jefferies went
on, "that Johnson will cover my
money. I wouldn't fight him if I did
think I could beat him.

ELEPHOME 289. SIBERT'S DRUB $
TEACHERS MKT SATURDAY.
Mooting of the Rural School Improve*
inent Association?Organisation of
County Teachers' Association?
An interesting meeting of the Rural
School Improvement Association was
held Saturday with quite a num?
ber of the teachers of the city and
county present. Miss McLean is the
president of this association and has
done very much to advance its inter?
ests. Several very interesting discus?
sions were listened to with pleasure
by those who were present. At the
close of the meeting a County Teach?
ers' Association was organized with
the following officers:
Col. J. J. Dargan, president; Mr.
McCain, of Rembert, vice president;
Mr. McMillan, of Wedgefield, secre?
tary and treasurer: members of the
j Executive Committee: Miss E. W. Mc?
Lean, chairman; Mrs. Ellie Brunson,
Miss A. D. Richardson, Miss E. Stur
kie, Miss Ruby Hickson. The officers
and the Executive Committee will
meet and adopt an outline of work

Y. M. C. A. MEETING.
\ Large Crowd Attended But It Yet
Remains to be Seen If the Nec?
essary Money Can be Raised.
The mass meeting in the Opera
House Sunday afternoon in the in?
terest of the Y. M. C. A., which it Is
proposed to organize, was well attend?
ed, not leas than five hundred persons
being present.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. S. H. Edmunds, president of the
preliminary organization formed
sometime ago, who stated the object
of the meeting and introduced Rev.
D. C. Huntington, Inter-State Y. M.
C. A. Secretary for North and South
Carolina. Mr. Huntington spoke in
general terms of the work of the Y.
M. C. A., the field It occupies and the
need for an association In every town
or city of any size. He emphasized
the fact that 'the success of an asso?
ciation is largely dependent upon the
right start being made and that the
most necessary thing is the possession
of a commodious and well equipped
building. He said he felt sure that
Sumter could afford to erect a build?
ing and that it is now up to the peo?
ple of Sumter to say whether they
are to have an association for the
young men.
Mr. W. B. Keys, who has had ex?
tensive experience in Y. M. C. A. work
and knows both from experience and
observation the good the Y. M. C. A.
does, was called on for a speech. He
made a brief but interesting talk
that impressed all who heard it, that
Sumter is losing by not having an
association.
Mr. C. Capers Smith also made
a brief address. He spoke of the de?
mand for an association that comes
from the boys and young men of the
city, the ones who need an associa?
tion, the ones who will receive the
greatest benefit.
When the meeting was dismissed
the executive committee met for a
conference with Mr. Hungington to
map out a plan of campaign to raise
the funds for a building.
Bill Green, a negro labor, was killed
