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

it Is a settled fact that whoever gets
it will have to fight. Those who are
getting ready' early are Asheville,

has, ad would support a first class
team Is not questioned. The attend
ance in the proposed league of fast
ball, as was demonstrated at the park
a few weeks ago, would certainly
turn in enough coin to make us as
good as the best in the circuit. The

(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.
The management this year tried
open air moving pictures and foiind
them to take well. The roller coast
er wag Introduced and proved a pop
ular feature. The tricks of Manager
Spraker of that department, in the
entertainment of the visitors i by
some sort of show every night, went
well and he has done the park great
good.
The fireworks are promised the
best demonstration of the year, In
the meantime, there will be dancing
and every other feature that had
been tried earlier. The park will
therefore run through the entire
month of September. - It has had
Ideal weather the whole season.
Manager Llndsey of the Traction
Company, will be deterred in his In
tention to put on fireworks only by
the weather, and everything looks
fine now. It had been intended to
close a week earlier, but the demand
tor another week was strong. On
the whole .the season has been suc
cessful The fireworks will . be free, of
course, and the trip to the park Is
the sole expense.
Mr. J. H. Copley, of West Durham,
died yesterday evening at the Watts
hospital, after an illness of several
weeks with typhoid fever.
Mr. Copley would have been fifty-
five years of age bad he lived until.

time, this section was Orange. . He I

IS THK OLDEST INDIAN.
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. Denver Post.
