SHERB|LL MAN IS BADLY STABBED
 BY AN EMPL0YE
l.. O. Wick Is Severely Wounded Last Night by
 Cleveland Scruggs.

l.. o. Wick, about 3S years of age, well-known store-keeper of Sherrill, was stabbed and severely wounded about 8 o'clock last night by Cleve- land Scruggs, aged 30, who had been Scruggs used a pocket-knife with a blade about one and three-fourth inches long. slashing Wick in the left side, inflicting wound about eight inches long. The blade penetrated the lung cavity, but it was believed last night the lung was not touched by the blade.
 Scruggs was placed under arrest at his home by Deputy Sheriff L. w.. Quattlcbaum, and committed to jail by Justice of the Peace J. G. Ford pend- inc the outcome of Vick's wound The accused was brought here in an auto by Messrs Quattlebaum and Ford, and lodged in the county jail.
 The affair occurred near Vick's barn, across the road from his store at Sherrill, and is said to have re- suited from Scruggs' resentment at the deduction of $1 from the teams ter's wages. Wick had promised, it is said. that he would make good the amount to scrugg's landlord. Scruggs met the negro from whom he rented the house and asked him if Wick had paid the $1. The negro said no, but that he knew Mr. Wick had the money and would give it to him upon appli- cation.
 Scruggs accosted Wick at the barn last night, and the stabbing followed. The fact that it is difficult to open the knife leads the officers to believe that scruggs premeditated the. attack on Wick
 The wounded man was attended by Dr. J. s. Gregg of Sherrill and B. D. Luck of Pine Bluff, and was reported resting we'll late last night.

 An entente fleet of twenty-three warships and seven transports is re- ported off Piraeus, the port of Athens.
 A dispatch from Athens says it is probable that the Greek elections set for Oct. 8 will be postponed for a fortnight.
 The Greek garrisons at Saloniki, at Vodina and at Fort Little Kara burun have surrendered to a commit tee which has taken over the admin istration of part of Greek Macedonia, according to dispatches from Salonikl. The revolt in Saloniki is confirmed by the British foreign office. Greeks favorable to the entente surrounded the barracks of the Greek infantry at Salonik, and are said to have ex- changed shots with them. General Sarrail, the allied commander at Saloniki, intervened to prevent fur ther bloodshed.
 Russians Capture 16,0O0.

 The withdrawal of the Austro-Ger- man line, south of Zlota-Lipa, is re- corded by Berlin. Progress by the Russians west of Tarnapol is admit ted, but Russian attacks in the Car pathians and near Lutsk were repuls- ed, Berlin says.

The Germans report the recapture of lost ground at Longueval and Dell wood. on the Somme front. London admits the German advance, but says the attackers sustained severe losses.
