BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR CARNIVAL

INDICATIONS ARE THAT ALL FUNDS
WILL SOON BE SUBSCRIBED.

Carnival Is Planned on Much Larger
Scale Than Most People Think ana

Visitors to the City-If Same En-

Days, as Has Been Given Recently.
Thought That the Officials viii
Be Able to Announce the Carnival
Positively Tomorrow or Next Day.
So encouraging was the canvass yes
terday for the fall carnival that the
committee will probably be in a posi-
ton within the next two or three days
to announce definitely that it is as
sured. Over half of the required guar
antee fund is in sight. and the out
look for large subscriptions to-day is
very encouraging.
The impetus given to the carnival
movement yesterday was due to the
railroad men of the city, who made
a special canvass. The passenger Of
fcials of all the roads took the mat
ter up yesterday, and the result was

With same encouragement received to-
day and tomorrow, that was given the
movement yesterday, the carnival Of
ficers will be in a position to announce
the carnival as an assured fact.
TO He Big Affair.
Few people realize the scope of the
proposed carnival. 1t will be one OF
the biggest affairs of it's kind ever held
in this section of the country. Com
ing Immediately after the Jacksonville
carnival and just before the one that
is to be held in Tampa, attractions can
be secured for all three of them, that
otherwise would not visit this section.
All the shows will be given in an en-
closed arena. which will be erected at
some convenient point within the city
limits.
A troop of United States cavalry will
be secured, which is to give drills and
rough riding exhibitions. A band of
siXty-five pieces will be obtained and
there will be frequent concerts given.
over twenty-five high class midway
shows are to be engaged, and there
will be a number of acts secured for
the stadium. Every night there will be
an exhibition of fireworks.
Auto Floral Parade.
1t is also intended to have a man.
moth automobile floral parade, which
will be one of the prettiest features of
the carnival. Just as soon as all the
necessary tickets are subscribed for
the carnival association will begin
work on the grounds. A large grand
stand capable of seating 5000 persons
is to be erected.
The carnival, it is thought, will bring
thousands of visitors to the city. 1t is
to be thoroughly advertised. All the
railroads will send out posters and the
carnival association itself is to do a
lot of advertising. During carnival
week the streets of the city will be
thronged with visitors.

til this morning.
Lieut.. Col. GraysOn on the stand.
Lieut.. Col. w. L. Grayson of the
First Regiment was the first witness
He gave the history of the dispatch of
the company under command of Capt
Hitch to Statesboro.
Il selected Capt. Hitch for this duty
because he was a cool officer and
thought that his profession would en-
able him to know his right" said Col
GraYson.
In reply to questions by the court as
to the discipline of the troops at
Statesboro when Col. Grayson arrived
with reinforcements, Col Grayson
thought it was very good. The events
of the day were detailed by Capt.
Hitch, whom Col. Grayson found at
the hotel. The treachery of a deputy
sheriff was given as the reason for the
failure of the troops to hold the stairs.
Inquiry as to the reason Capt. Hitch
was not with his command brought
out evidence that he was at the hotel

phone to Atlanta. He had not appear
ed excited or injured in any way.

Second Lieutenant A. j. Fulton of
Company D, who was a sergeant at
the time of the Statesboro trouble, was
sworn. He told of the disposition of
the troops at Statesboro. He was in
the prisoners room, with two pri-
Yates, when the mob broke In and got
the prisoners.
The events preceding the rioting
were described by the witness, who
was in command of the detail In the
court room during the trial on Tues
day.
Judge Daley made a speech
which would make anybody feel
like lynching the negroes said
Lieutenant Fulton, with energy.
Later on he said that II made
his blood run cold TO hear the judges
words I'm sentencing the prisoners.
The witness saw only sticks as wea-
pons in the hands of the mob. While
guarding the prisoners after sentence
had been pronounced the door of the
room was assaulted and after three at
tempts was opened from the outside.
The three soldiers then blocked the
door with fixed bayonets. Sheriff Ken
drick stepped up and claimed the pris-
oners.
Col. Napier: "why did you not fire
before allowing the prisoners to be
taken?"
Lieut.. Fulton: II did not consider
that / had the authority, being nom

st. Paul Pitcher Can Be Called
Any Day by Magnate Garry
Hermann. @

Cincinnati, July 27.-Charles w. Chech,
the: premier pitcher Of the st. Paul club
and the greatest slabman in the American
Association, is a red. That was the Of
fetal announcement made at the Laugh
cry club by President Garry Hermann.
"Chech Is one of u.s." said the red chief.
THE deal has been closed and it can safe
ly be said that the Cincinnati club has
paid for his release the greatest sum Of
moneys ever put out for a player from the
minor leagues. = It has not yet been de-
termined just when he will report. We
can have him whenever we want him.
/ Undoubtedly the deal was made during
the visit here of Manager Mike Kelley Of
the saints, and indorsed by wire by George
E. Lennon, owner of the club. It is gen.
orally understood that the red club gave
Lennon. $500 for the release of Miller
Higgins last fall, and of that amount
The Rabbit was handed 81 900 cold for
his consent to the deal. It would not be
a: bad guess to say that 1t cost the Gin
'cinnati club in the neighborhood of SIS, 900
to secure the stellar slabman. The deal
has been hanging fire for several weeks,
and negotiations began about the time
of the Donlin suspension. Ted Sullivan
was one Of y the strongest sponsors for
Chech. who is largely responsible for St.
Paul's leading position in the American
association race. AT the last roundup
Chech. was the indisputable association
leader. He has three shutouts. three

one tWO-hit game to his credit 3tS - ~
