LAST GALL FOR LEA60E SALL ALL TOWNS SEEM TO BE WILLING TO ENTER THE PROPOSED LEAGUE WHAT COBB SAYS Spartanburg and Greenville Are .'Rearing lo Go" With Oth er Towns Also. If present indications count for anything there will certainly be i league base ball in the Piedmont section of South Carolina and if An derson wants to have a hand in the affair it is t'.iere for her and if she] doesn't tak'j it it will be the fault of the fans r.nd with them will rest the blame. Other towns have taken tb the scheme and last night it seemed, as though there could be but little | trouble Tn getting such an organiza tion on foot. , Both Greenville and Spartanb?rg are more than anxious and it goes' Without" saying that Columbia and Augusta will be glad to enter tain any proposition if they fail to get into the Sally. Therefore ?the cr.!y two towns in t??? circuit con cerning which there is any doubt are Anderson Athens. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the Georgia peach, is quoted by the Augusta pa pers as saying that "such a league as the proposed Georgia-Carolina would be a go." Ty Cobb, who Knows inst what the territory is worth as a baseball pros ("?*.?., u?Yuig C?vcfni iv W??i ino Own ittlo independent club, expressed the opinion yesterday afternon that the Georgia-Carolina League will be a go from the jump. Ty says it is a compact, ideally located selection of baseball centers, the territory is good and the jumps short, and the expense of auch a league would be a mini mum. In fact. Cobb says the Geor gia- Carolina League will be a bet ter paying proposition than the Bet'th ?tl?ntk ??aguo, bscsuse of the fact that the nearness of the club towns will materially reduce the travel, as compared with the South Atlantic. LEGISLATIVE GRI/ND. Special Correspondence. Columbia, Jan. 25.-The coming week in the general assembly will probably be signalized by the pas sags of the Harper compulsory school attendance bul in tho house and the Nicholson primary election reform bill in the senate. The house is regarded as being absolutely certain to-pass the.compulsory school attendance bill, while the passage of the primary reform bill in the senate I is a matter of conjecture, its friends believe it will go through with ease. In recognition of its paramount importance, the house took the Har per bill up out of its order last week I and made it a special order for next Tuesday when debate on the bill will be opene l. There is nothing harsh nr rnnrxjntriVv' uhniif ?ho HaThCT ?081 ! pulsory schcol .sitendance fii??. It provides that a majority of the citi zens of any cit/, town or school dis-, trict shall flrr.t vote for compulsory school attendance before its provis-1 lons become effective. A Leca! Option BUL Then the bill says that if a major ity of the citizens declare for a com pulsory school attendance for white children between a certain age, who are not weak in mind or body and who do not live more than ' 2 miles from a school house, the parents or guardians of such children must put them in the nearest school and keep them there foi* 12 weeks in each year, six of which must be. consecutive, provided of course that the school term lasts for 12 weeks. The school trustees of the city or district voting for compulsory school attendance are given the right to ex fruse any child from attending school I if there is a valid reason for so do ing, for instance the support, of the child may be necessary to its widow ed mother. The bill provides a small fine for parents or guardians who do not put their children in school. The Une is nominal for the first offense. Increasing with each -"-.. ?(mit ui ut? pceuroor trustees of any city, town or n iib ul district voting for compulsory scflbol attendance is char^od ?Ith ?esi-?? thet every parent or guardian "puts the children of the required aga In school. . ?* ?

The house. and senate agreed to order the investigation of the State Hospital following the receipt of a special message from -the governor j in regard to a leiUsr . written by Sen- j ator Tillman to "a gentleman high In official life in his State" alleging that -the .senator had been informed thai an effort would be made to oust Dr. Babcock from the State Hospital in order that the present administration might manipulate the I sale, of the State Hospital and the i transfer of the plant to State Park. 'The letter, admitted by Senator Till i man to have been written by him, ! says further, "An effort will be made 1 to smirch Dr. Babcock and his lady 1 assistant, Dr. Saunders, as these Then must have .some .excuse, you know, and are not at all scrupulous." I The name- of the man to whom this i personal letter was written by Sena ! tor Tillman has not been made pub lic ncr has the governor said pub I hely how it came into his possession. Stevenson Resolution. < Following tho reading of the mes ! sage from tba. governor in the house, j Mr. Stevenson introduced a resolu ' tion providing for an investigation "of the matters relating to the State j Hospital for the Insane referred to ! in the governor's message, and any other matters concerning the man agement of the same and the wel fare of ita unfortunate inmates and the conduct of thc State Hospital Commission and all officers, regents and employees of the said institu tion, and of the property known as SUte Park." This resolution along the lines recommended by the governor-in his message, passed the house without opposition. In the senate, however, nOthough the governor had recom mended an investigation, his friends opposed the'passage of the resolu tion from the house carrying out the governor's exprosed wishes. A good I deal, of comment has been caused in legislative circles by the refusal of thc governors supporters in the sen ate to stand by him on the matter of investigating the ' State Hospital. As yet no one has advanced a satis factory explanation of their attitude. Tue'members of the committee of six, three senators and three repre sentatives, to investigate the State Hospital, have -not been announced. They are to be appointed by the I speaker of the house and the presi I dent of the senate. The person el of ; the announcement of the investigat lng committee, walch is to report to I the present general assembly, is be ing awaited with interest. A Heavy Program.
