Formation of North Carolina State '-.League Prom Wilmington's Stand- ' , point. - :. , (Special to The Times.) Wilmington, Sept, 27 A general feeling of unrest among the eligible baseball towns of this atate is making itself manifest just at this time re garding the baseball situation for the next season.1 Those towns who are Connected with the Carolina As sociation are in a measure losing confidence In the stability of that organization for the approaching season, and are beginning to cast about for a more satisfactory ar rangement of the baseball geography of the state. Nothing definite has been done, . but, it Is being agitated that a North Carolina League be formed, embracing only Tar Heel towns. This adjustment has many strong advocates, among them being President Brandt, of the Greensboro association and President Hastings, of ;the Winston-Salem Athletic Club. They are said to be heartily in favor of organizing a North Carolina State League. That the proposed change will be a better paying propo sition than the Carolina League Is a foregone conclusion as there are towns in this state that could easily replace the South Carolina towns, that have shown their ability to sup port a team, and hold' up their end of the attendance. A league line-up has been suggested In the. following towns: Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Salisbury, Spencer, Charlotte, Dur ham and Raleigh. This is merely A suggestion and . was made by -the 'above mentioned Winston-Salem and .Greensboro baseball magnates. It does not appear here that the sug gested league would be any better than the present one, and it is not thought that It need be seriously taken as the future arrangement, There are several live baseball towns FOUR DOLLARS '.' -v.-' ,-'.v - .; i-. , i.

H. .. ; Copley. (Special to The Times. ) Durham, Sept. 27. -Coroner A. C. Fordin g was called to the country yesterday near the Fred Geer place, and shown an amputated foot, which had been carried to a ravine near the' road. The discdvery was made by some boys and B. J. Brogden reported it In a few minutes the report had scattered and another Henderson- Vllle sensation was promised. Tlie color of tue foot had somlhlng to do with the excitement, however, as it was good and black and evidently the property of a colored man. It was a genuine piece of anatomt cal outlawry.' But for the foot with its naturally formed toes and heel nobody could have guessed what sort of animate object it belonged to It was shaped very like one of King" an's cured hams and would have passed for one if It had not been black, plus the foot. Dr. Jordon diagnosed the thing as elephantiasis a very simple diesase which means nothing but the enlargement of the legs. And it did look very much like an elephant's ankle. Thus fark, the surgeon who trim med tlie colored man to the right proportions, has n't been found, but the opinion Is that the leg was tak en off at the hospital or elsewhere and ordered buried. The lard can had been used to carry it out and the big ditch was an easier place In which to cover the foot than a grave which had not been made. Profes sor Jule Warren, one of the pair of newspaper men who rode a bike out to see the excitement, was of the opinion that In his purview as cir culation manager and solicitor, be had run acroJss the leg when It wasn't detached but who of his friends, owned the more or less ornamental boot, he could not say.. There is certainly no likelihood of any crime having been commit ted, the coroner thinks, and he is quite sure it was a legitimate surgt cal operation. Mr, A. T. Pendergraph, a mer chant In the western part of the city, Is the loser of a finger by reason of a strange accident on the cars. He caught his little linger, on which he was wearing a ring, on a screw, which pulled the end cf the finger off to the first joint. It was 'necessary for him to be taken to the hospital, where he was treated and the member amputated to the second joint. When asked if he wish ed the anesthetic, he declared that he had not gone to the hospital to sleep, and sat down calmly to watch the operation, , he Via hardly, be stopped from work, painful as the operation was. Mr. Pendergraph Is a brother of tlie first sergeant on the police force The season at Lakewood park will close Saturday night of this week, and Friday night is to be made the final display of fireworks.

Sitting Elk, Aged 0(1 Mighty Warrior, Rut Never Killed a White Man. Oldest of all Indians In tlie United States, Sitting Elk, former chief of the Ogallalla Sioux, is visiting in Denver, guest of the white men, against whom he always refused to make war. For almost a century he has been a leader among his people, but wiser than other chiefs, he early realized that the red man was doomed, and at every opportunity he counseled peace with the palefaces. He could well afford to do so, for his people knew he was no coward. "I have never killed a white man," be proudly boasts, "but I have fought many battles, and I have done many brave deeds In my long life of 9U years. I was but 17, when I way laid and killed hi y first enemy. 'That was a very brave deed. Since then I have killed many, many enemies." Sitting Elk is a total abstainer. He smokes cigarettes, but insists he has none of the other bad habits of the white man. He is childless, the last of his line, but he expects to live for many more years to be hale and hearty long after he has passed the century mark. Sitting Elk moves tall and stately among his kinsmen, and puffs his pipe with a complacency unruffled by thoughts of any Immediate jour ney to the happy hunting grounns. Bright of eye, keen of mind, the old warrior dons paint and feathers for his appearance with the younger members of his tribe in the headlong dashes across the amphithreatre at the stockyards, and rides with an abandon which defies the spectator to single him from the reckless red skins, who have but one-fourth his years to their credit.
