BASEBALL FEVER
EPIDEMIC At LAUREL
National Pastime Has Taken on
New Lease OF Life
Down State.

Special Correspondence Every Evening
Laurel, Aug. 6.--Baseball in Laurel
hast AIKEN on new lease OF life- and
the town now promises to be one OF
the leading baseball towns on the
peninsula. The enthusiasm In the
game Ia at a high pitch and everyone
seems determined that the little town
shall be more than a dot on the map
as far as baseball is concerned.
That the good folks Of the town are
interested in their team is proven by
the manner in which they have work
ed to bring about improvements TO
the grounds "a we'll as the team.
During the past years the town has
not had decent baseball field, the
team being obliged to use the school
grounds, which were too small and in
convenient. This year a lease was
secured on several acres of ground In
the corporate limits of the town. anu
work was started to make it into a
baseball park. The ground was piow-
ed scraped, rolled and graded. Sew
eral loads of clay were put on the in
field. until it began to look like one OF
the fastest diamonds in the state.
1t then became necessary to erect a
Grandstand. but in putting the grounds
in shape the funds of the team were
exhausted, and the few that were then
interested began TO cast about for
ways and means to build the stand.
An association was formed and Of
ficers elected as follows: Willard f.
Deputy, president: Charles Il. Woot-
ten. manager; Fred s. Burford, Sec
retary and Elijah f. Wootten, trea-
surer. When the organization was
completed, subscriptions were solicited.
and in a few days carpenters were at
work on the grandstand.
The story of the grounds il was
thought would end here, as the pro-
motets could not see where they would
be in a position to finance the building
OF a fence at this time. and the matter
was thought to have been left as dead
until another season, when il would
be possible to sell advertising space
to finance the building of the fence.
The loyal fans stood by, however. and
few days ago the lumber began to
arrive. and the husky men and boys
of the town were on the spot to do
their bit towards building the fence.
The advertising space is for sale but
no effort has been made to solicit
advertising.
The team has been built up to big
league strength and has the appear
ance of a pennant winner. The fact
that il won Ave out of the last six
games played is sufficient proof that it
is more than the ordinary aggrega-
ton. The five games were not played
with sand lot clubs but with the best
teams on the Peninsula.

ROCH HOME ROBBED
TUESDAY AT NOON
Burglar Breaks Open Armoire, Rifles
Bureau and Makes His Es-
cape in an Hour.

Robbing an armoire of SOS after
tumbling all the clothes around and
rifiing bureau drawers and other
chests in the search for more money
and making an escape without being
seen was the record made by a burg
lar Tuesday between the hours of
and 2:15 o'clock in the afternoon.
Nothing bu cash was taken by the
burglar. though check for $3.50 was
left on the bureau and several valu-
able articles of jewelry were thrown
10 one side by the burglar.
The home robbed was that of Eu-
gene Roch, 24S West Garden. Mrs.
Roch had left the money in the ar
MORE and was in another room at
o'clock. At 2:15 she entered the room
adjoining where Mr.. Roch was and
noticing that tn earmoire had been
scratched she began an investigation.
The lock had been priced open and
the contents of the armoire were dis
ordeded. Searching further she discov-
cred that the purse containing the
money had been stolen. The armoire
had been broken into between those
hours. A report was made to the
police but no arrests have been made.

ROAD" DISTRICT
FUNDS ARE Low
Appropriation for Year is More Than
Half Spent at Close of Four
Months.

More than half of the years appro-
priation for district No. 5, the road
district of Escambia county, has al
ready been expended, the incoming
commissioner for the year, L. S. Gill
more, will find, according to accounts
checked up at the close of the past
month.
Half of the amount of the appropri-
alton was expended by Mr.. Gilmore's
predecessor during the last four
months of his incumbency. leaving a
balance of S9,56S of the total appro-
priation of $1S,6O0.
The greater proportion of bridges
and roads in the county happen to be
in district No. 5. During the coming
year 26 bridges are needed to be built
or repaired in this district.
The years budget for the care and
maintenance of convict labor for dis
trict 5 has been materially decreased,
Mr.. Gilmore will find. OF the 50, 500
appropriation for the remaining eight
months he will have $S91.S5. During
part of last year few convicts were
working on the roads. although the
camps and guards were maintained.
This would probably account in part
for the decrease in this budget.
Much work is needed to be done on
roads and bridges in the district, but
will necessarily be curtailed to some
extent during the remainder of the
year by lack of funds
The district appropriation for the
year and balance of appropriations to
the close of January were as follows:

MOULIS DECLARED
GUILTY OF ROBBERY
Jury Finds Mouils Guilty of Robbery
With Firearms Late Yesterday.

Robert Moulis was found guilty as
charged by jury in the court of record
yesterday on charges of robbery. He
was placed under arrest last week by
the city forces for investigation in con
nection with the robbery of sailor
giving his name as Davis. Davis lost
$50, complaining to the officers that
Mouths and another man relieved him
of the money.
Davis and a companion were walking
on East Hill, according to his statement,
when a man dressed in civilian clothes
stopped them and at the point of pis-
toll demanded that his companion search
Davis. After the search the robber de-
manded that the money be turned over
to him, the amount being $50. His COM
panion was not searched. said Davis in
his report of the affair to the station.
The officers learned the name of one
of the men and asked that he be held
at the naval station. This was done and
the sailor made a complete statement of
the affair to Capt. Staten next day
and yesterday repeated the statement in
the court of record. Sentence will prob
ably be pronounced by Judge Jones this
morning.

age Visits to School by Parents.
