DUKE NINE PLAYS
COLBY WEDNESDAY
Coach Jack Coombs Once
Starred on Colby Nine
In College Days

Durham, March 27.-Duke univer-
sity's baseball team will face the Col
by College nine in Duke park We'd
nesday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock and
it will be contest in which the al
legiance of Coach Jack Coombs OF
the Blue Devels will be divided.
From 1903 through 1906, the Duke
5 mentor was the star hurler for Col
by mines. In addition to his proves in
q, baseball, he was member of the
F.. football, basketball and tennis team
and is recognized as one OF the great
est all-round athletes in Colby his
tory.
1t was while he was pitching for
Colby that Coombs was first noticed
i as major league material. AS the
story goes, the late Tom McGilli-
, cudy, brother of Connie Mack, gave
the tip to the AS manager about the
collegiate wonder At the end of the
Colby season of 1906, Coombs went
to the AS and became one OF the
greatest pitchers of all-time. Just
recently the Duke mentor was NAM
ed on Connie Fack's all-time team.
The Colby outfit seems to have
carried on the baseball tradition that
Coach Coombs helped start at the
institution. In the days of Coombs,
the Colby boys were impregnable.
In the past seven years, Colby has
been state champions Of the Maine
intercollegiate league three times
and tied for the title on two other
occasions.
This years trip marks the first
southern invasion of a Colby team.
On this jaunt they will be in the
order named Hampton-Sydney, Wake
Forest, Duke, ElOn and Davidson.
The team will be composed of vet
Grams in the outfield, at third and
at first base. Newcomers will hold
down the posts at short and second.
There will be one sophomore and one
veteran to do the catching and there
are five hurlers-three veterans, in
Guiding Co-Captain Edward Cleve-
land, and two newcomers.
Coach. Coombs will use three more
of his untried hurlers in the game
as he continues the job of lining up
his hurting staff. Slated to divide
mound duty against Colby are Kill
mer Bortz, soph Highlander, Paul
Satterthwaite, sophomore southpaw,
and Bill Peters, junior Highlander.
In their only other appearance of
the week, Duke meets Elon at Burl-
ington on Saturday. 1t is a feature
game that has been held in Burling-
ton annually for several years.

The significance of a sudden eleva-
ton of temperature, a chill, pleurisy
or blood-tinged sputum, even
though they be mild, should be
thoroughly appreciated. The physi-
clan should be informed of their &C.
currence at once. If no medical at
tention has been secured, it's i'm
portance should be explained and
such attention obtained without de-
lay. In the meantime, strict rest in
bed is essential.
Arouse Suspicion
/. Even one or two of these
symptoms should arouse the
suspicion of pneumonia and
make medical attention i'm
perative.
2. Pending the arrival of the
physician, certain of these
symptoms may require pallia-
tive treatment.
(a) Chill:
(1) Use external heat,
warm blankets, jackets,
stockings, hot water bot
ties, etc.
(2) Give warm drinks if
there is no vomiting.
(3) Take temperature,
pulse and respirations i'm
mediately following the
chill and again one-half

past week, farmers of Beaufort coun-
ty have been busy replanting por-

the county will have its normal stand

PLANT SHORTAGE IN
COLUMBUS POSSIBLE

Whiteville, March 27.-A general
outbreak of blue mold in Columbus
county caused wide speculation as
to whether tobacco farmers will have
adequate plants to set their antici-
pated crop for 1889, reports Farm
Agent S. c.. Oliver.
Where this dread disease of tobac-
co seedlings has attacked plant beds,
farmers generally are combating it
with red copper oxide spray and
paradichlorobenzol fumigation.
IN most cases, these treatment
have been started after the mold in
vaded the beds.

Isolate Patient
Communicable disease technique
is indicated. Isolate patient in bed
and in a room by himself. If this
cannot be done, arrange beds so that
there is a screen between them or

Thorough washing of the hands
with soap and water after caring
for the patient is fundamental.
Mouth hygiene is important for
comfort of patient. 1t may also be
a factor in preventing the extension
of infection into adjacent organs.
i.e., sinuses, middle ear, mastoid.
etc. The mouth should be cleaned as
often as necessary to keep mucous

Maintenance of proper room tenn

not be allowed to get too cold or the
patient to be exposed to a draught.

have been good that year. The
third bin passed by the house
was an act TO dissolve the bonds
of matrimony existing between
Jacob Hans and Caroline Hans
and there were several others
pending.
II appears from the record
that divorce was quite a prob
lem then. The only means OF
annuIling the marriage vows
was BY legislative act and in
a great many cases she DIE
were passed without one OF
the parties knowing anything
about II. In some instances
the bills were obtained through
political influence without re-
gard to the merits of the case.
Evidently there was a good
deal of sentiment against the
loose method of granting di-
vorces as there was introduced
in the council a resolution pro-
viding for appointment Of
special committee to examine
into the merits of each case. The
committee also was required TO
make recommendations regard
ing the propriety of granting
divorces by legislative act and
to set up grounds on which it
might be proper to annul the
marriage. This became one OF
the controversial issues of the
legislature. It was brought to
a head when it appeared that
one of the territorial governors
had accepted the appointment
solely for the purpose of divorce
ing the wife he left in the east
and marrying a younger woman.
Another issue before the as
sembly related to territorial
finances. The territorial treas
urer reported that the total
collections from counties the
previous fiscal year had been
only S2,176.91. Disbursements
totaled $1,262.71, leaving a bal
ance of S914.20 to run the terri
tory until the next tax payments
were due.
According to the report, Pierce
county was the heaviest con-
tributor, turning $3.50 into the
territorial treasury. The King
county payment was only s56.16.
1t required some close figuring
to balance the budget that year.
