Eight years later the English National Lawn
Tennis association was formed. Ever since then
it has been the governing body for England and
the surrounding countries. in which the game
has since spread. The courts of all countries
have the same dimensions. The following is the
official description of the American court: The
court is IS feet long and q feet wide. 1t is d.
vided across the middle by net the ends of
which are attached to two posts. standing three
feet outside of the court either side. The
height of the net is three feet six inches at the
post and three feet in the middle half way be-
tween the side lines and parallel with them is
drawn the court line dividing the space ON each
side of the net into two equal parts, the right
and left courts On each side of the net at
distance of p feet from it drawn the service
lines Two kinds of game are played, singles"
and doubles" two partners on each side. The
choice of sides of the court and the right to
serve first decided by the toss of coin. The
players stand opposite sides of the net, the
player who first delivers the ball being called the
server and the other the striker-out At the end
of the first game the striker-out becomes the
server, and so on alternately The server deliv-
ers the ball. service, from the right to the
line. half court line and side line of the court

The system of scoring is framed basis
of Is for each stroke won; but the third stroke
is called 40 instead of 45. Ii both players win
three strokes. the score is called deuce" instead
of forty all" The winner of the next stroke
scores "advantage, and Ii he also scores the fol-
lowing stroke, he wins the game. II the stroke
falls to the opposite side the score goes back to
deuce" Similarly the player who first scores
six games wins the set, unless both should have
won five, when a player must win two consecu-
tive games to score the set If he fails to do this
the score is once more called games all,' and
the same conditions prevail at every set. The
players change sides at the end of every set.

been determined by the winning of three sets out

A PLAIN STATEMENT
 OF COLD FACTS

A. MT. Watson, Station agent at Montrose, Ashley county, was shot and killed on the 10th inst. The ne- gro was noisy and when the agent re-
 quested him to stop it he pulled out a pistol and killed the agent. The same negro shot times at freight conductor, near Dermott, late the same day. The negro made his es- cape, but it is only question of time when he will be caught and hung. Of all the negroes who commit heinous crimes not one in one hundred get away for good. The vicious and criminal negro, unlike the criminal white man, never calculates the con- sequences. Like vicious bull, he acts upon the impulse of the moment, and when his vile deed is perpetrated ht hikes off few miles from the scene of his outrage and conceives himself safe, until hs is overtaken, which happens very soon and then he Is either shot to death or hung.
 Negroes should learn that when they commit dastardly acts like the one just perpetrated at Montrose ,that their lives will be the forfeit. II is not even a question of probability

 The organization is a good one and we hope to see such associations or ganized in every section of the state.
 Game Warden Vissart is doing all in his power to protectt the game of the state and such organizations will assist him materially.
 This association asks the farmers of the county to become members and assist in the good work.

 ] Fort Smith, Ark, July 23.-Char- acterizing the ordinance as class leg. islation, void against the state sta. tutes and passed to give the Typdgra' phical Union monopoly on the work, Weldon, Williams & Lick, local print CTS, filed suit in the chancery court this afternoon asking Chancellor Bourland to enjoin the city and the board of public affairs from enforcing an ordinance that prescribes that the union label must be attached to all city printing. On July II the city council passed an ordinance that pre- scribed the label of the Typographical Union must be on the printing On Ju ly IS the board of public affairs op- ened bids on city printing for per- iod of one year. None of the bids guaranteed the use of the label and the board referred them to counci: for advice. Council ordered the board to re-advertise because the bidders had failed to guarantee the e of the label. Three bids were received Darby & By, $62; Fort Smith Print ing Co. $6S; and Weldon, Williams & Lick, $43.50 The plaintiffs insist they should have received the con- tract, and that the city has now no authority to adopt legislation making the label necessary. The plaintiffs conduct an "open shop and say they will be damaged to an extent of $500 if they do not receive the con- tract. They ask that the ordinance perpetually enjoined from enforcing the ordinance.
