A serious cutting ARRAY was com.
mitted in the northwestern part OF

Strobe. q well-known negro hack
man. slsshed Chas. Gist, another ne
gro. and the injured man is reported
20 be in a serious condition, while
the negro that did the work is held
without bail.
The case came up on the Mayors
docket Monday morning, but as the
injured negro was unable to appear
al court, and the nature OF the case
was grave, Mayor Davis took the
matter under advisement and Will
very likely turn Stroble over to the
county authorities at once,
Gist, the injured negro, is a strang'
er here and had accompanied a wo-
man home who lives near the section
houses on the A. G. L., and was
asleep at the time the attack was
made upon him by the other party,
who run him out of the room and af'
ter getting him on the railroad, sue
ceeded in making four ugly gashes
on his person, his arms, back and
stomach being cut.
Dr. Aver, who was summoned af-
ter the man had travelled distance
Of about a mile to another house,
stated that the wounds were not ne
cessarily fatal, but were dangerous,
and that the party had lost consider
able blood before he reached him.
II required something over thirty
stitches to sew up the wounds, the
longest and most serious one being
from his side across his stomach, and
fully fifteen inches In length. His
muscles we're also cut and the doc.
tor Is Of the opinion that the weapon
was a razor instead OF pocket
knife.
Handy Hughes, who was apparent.

SANITARIUM NOTES

DR.. ]. H. Hodges, the medical di'
rector of the sanitarium, has decided
to enlarge and refurnish some OF the
rooms and connect them with private
baths. This will be a decided inn
movement, and when these rooms
ale completed it is believed they Will
be as comfortable and handsome as
can be found in any Sanitarium In
the South.
It is sincerely hoped the Board OF
Trade can induce the A. c. L. railroad
TO allow stop-over privileges here on
through tickets. If this were done
many of the invalids from the North,
who now go further South, would
pay a visit to the sanitarium.
Anticipating cooler weather the
sanitarium is haFing several car
loads of wood delivered on the
grounds.
During the past several weeks
many sick people from the surround
ing towns have come to the SAM
tarium for treatment, and in almost
every instance they have been en-
abled to return to- their homes en-
tirely cured or greatly benefited
The ladies of the city are reminded
that gifts of flowers are always APP
preclated.
f. NJ. Hodges of Newberry, a re-
cent surgical patient, has recovered
and returned to his home.
Clarence Malphurs of Monteocha,
who was brought to the Sanitarium
in the midst Of severe attack of
fever, has recovered and left for his
home a few days since.
Arch McKinnon was enabled to re-
turn to his home at Palatka last
week.
Mrs. H. A. Bailey of Hawthorn was
a patient again last week.

cent surgical patient, was well
enough to leave the sanitarium few

Mrs. B. M. Leverett has returned
to her home at Worthington Springs,
Mrs. J. w. Thompkins of Worthing-
ton Springs has improved rapidly
and will not have to remain al the

longer. Mr.. and Mrs. Thompkins
are the proprietors of the popular

patrons Of that well.known resort
will be glad to know OF her speedy
recovery from severe illness.

Baseball Season to Open
At Stanford

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. a.
On Monday afternoon the formal open

of the failure of T. r. Cadwalader '09,

captain to lead the fall baseball prac-

under the management of two of the
upper class veterans These men will
take the players, through the regular
fall training, which will consist Of
light practice games between the di-
visions of men on Mondays, Wednes-
days and Fridays.
Quite a problem presents itself to
the developers of a varsity nine. NJ. NJ

the only two veterans that will be on
the diamond this season /. s. Scott

CALIFORNIANS ARE CONCEDED
GOOD CHANCE IN AUSTRALIA
By GRANT SMITH

Maurice McLoughlin and Melville
Long. the two local tennis players who
wiz represent America in the worlds
championship matches in November.
are well on their way to Australia
They sailed from Vancouver Friday.
and as neither has travelled much on
the sea they are probably not feeling
as well as they will have to II they
hope, to make a showing against
Brooks and Wilding.
As the boys will not arrive at sgd
ney until November , they will be
well over their seasiclSness before their
long journey ends. As they will have
either two or three weeks in which
TO practice after they arrive they
should be at their best when the
championship matches are played.
Nearly a month on the sea will give
them just the rest they needed after
their hard two months campaign in

as possible. as they did not wish to
become accustomed to them again and
have to learn the grass court game
all over again when they reach Aus
tralia.
In reading over the accounts of last
years worlds championship matches
1t is hard to figure out why Long and
Mclaughlin are conceded such a poor
chance to win. Just why both matches
in singles should be conceded to
Brooks is also hard to understand. In
Wright has beaten the Australian
champion three times. After his show
ing against CIothier. which he would
improve upon greatly in return
match, Mclaughlin looks to be the
equal of Wright. 4 year ago Wright
was as badly outclassed by fLarned as
McLoughiin would have been this year.
With all Wright's wonderful headWork,
which there is no denying, he IS Woe
fully short on strokes, and. in the
opinion of the writer. Mclaughlin is
his equal with both at their best.
Last year Wright, who is slow
starter lost the first two sets with
Brooks and then won the next three.
Alexander also played Brooks TO a five
set match, which is another good rea-
son for conceding both Long and Nc
Loughlin a chance against Australia S

and fought every inch of the way in
the fifth and deciding set The fore
going viii show by what narrow
margin Brooks and WfIdfng beat
Wright and Alexander. In the opinion
of the writer, Long and McLoughlin
on paper, look as strong, at least, as
Wright and Alexander.
Great mt SS can be ezpeeat1ed ns a1e
LoughIin in the east. They were play
ing for the first time on grass courts
and in the extreme heat. The large
crowds also made them more or less
nervous None of this will have to be
gone through in Australia They will
be accustomed to the grass courts and
pected to lose, the fact that they are
playing for the worlds championship
ought TO make them play with reck-
less abandon rather than to cause any
nervousness.
1 conceded the California players lit
tie chance when they went east, but
after their excellent showing against
the best in this country / am willing
to give them a chance against anybody
except Larned and Doherty.
Play will be resumed today in the
handicap singles tournament, sched-
uIed to begin two weeks ago. The rain
on the last two Sundays made it i'm
possible to start the event, but it is ex-
pected good progress will be made to-
day. It will not be allowed to inter-
fere with either the PorIola or bay

Despite numerous counter attrac-
tions on October %. 1t is expected that
