May Present "Octoroon"
AS Baseball Benefit
As Funds Are Needed

III. Price Weber and those asso-
ciated with him in the production of
the southern melodrama, 1.-THE Octo-
ROOM" have been requested by the
Augusta Baseball association to pre-
sent their play for the benefit of
summer baseball. This was the first
official act of the newly appointed
ways and means committee whose
duty it is to solve the difficult ques-
ton of how to raise a fund with
which to back this seasons baseball
team. The Augusta Chamber of
Commerce will be asked to continue
it's management OF the affair as pre-
viously arranged. merely shifting the
purpose for which the play is given
from winter sports to summer base
ball. Winter sports this season give
every promise of being self-support-
ing while summer baseball leeds a
boost; in the letter to the Chamber
of Commerce it is pointed out that,
since summer baseball is big COM
munity booster it should have the
support Of merchants, professional
men, industrial managers and in fact
all classes of citizens. If Mr.. Weber
will consent to the shift of purpose
the play will undoubtedly be given in
the Opera house on the first avail
able date.
The committee believes that it
must give the people strong attrac-
tons, if it is TO merit public sup
port. that people are tired of direct
contributions but that they are only
too glad to patroniZe good plays
where they get their moneys worth
and the profit goes to a worthy OBJ
ject. In asking for this piece they
feel that they are bringing to the
public q performance that will dem
onstrate their complete Willingness
to stage entertainments that are
worthy of patronage. 1t will be fol-
lowed by a series of five other at
fractions of varied type including a
community minstrel show, an indoor
circus. u masquerade ball and other
features.

he was good at that.
Yes, this coming time he would make

which led to the highway. From there
he would start out. He would make

them yet.
But perhaps he still had a chance
now. He was so near, so near the

away. He could run with a wooden

They seldom spoke Of him without
mentioning his wooden leg. 1t seemed
part, not merely Of his appearance,
but Of his personality. Sam Evans and

as two companions, as, in way, they
were.
Sam was not q hero. No one knew
Of anything especially brave Sam had
ever done. No one knew of any harm
through which had been caused in any

any home he had ever had, any rela-

Only they knew that for seventy
years Sam had been a village figure.

the wooden one, ho5bling through the

the summer or the fur one (Which he
had shared with moths) in the winter

such was one of his pleasures. Some
times those who had returned from a
long city visit did not answer his salu-

Sometimes those who had never been

notice Sans low bow. But Sam never
said anything. Only a panied express

the prospect Of a greeting. And when
he was greeted in return his plain, un-

Sam loved people. If they regarded
him character, laughed at him and
not with him, he neither minded nor
wholly understood. Strange verses of
poetry he wrote from time to time, he
sang at village minstrel shows, even
though he shifted the key with his
cracked voice as often as he shifted

mended chairs, he blackened shoes, odd
