Nay Tur' ner, director. The ruling was occasioned by an application filed with the department for a class "A" certificate of pub lie convenience and necessity to render bus service for negroes between Laurens and Columbia, which was enteied with the department in October, and which was disapproved November 1 with the statement that "the department has no authority to issue, a class "A" certifciate of public convenience and necessity for the transportation of negroes o nly. It is emphasized, however, that this statement works both ways, and that a class "A" certificate, when issued, ,js for the transportation of both white and colored passenger*} aid that the general impression that the crosscountry busses are intended and available to white persons alorfl is distinctly erroneous. The busses, it would seem, are public utilities, and are intended for gen-, eral use by both white and colored. When issuing a class "A" certificate, it is not possible by law for the highway department -to specify that the vehicles certified are designated solely for the transportation of white people or of colored people. The department, as well as other interested parties, are anxious to have the mistaken idea that only whites can use the bus lines corrected, and have requested that the ruling of the motor vehicle division be made pub "v Ty Cohb Quits Baseball Ty Cobb has retired from baseball. The most colorful player the national game has known has laid aside his trusty war club for all time, says the Spartanburg Journal. Never again will the bleachers sway with struggling. howling fans as the famous Georgian strides to the plate to face the enemy pitcher at a crucial moment. Hero-worshiping youngsters youngsters who have hung around the park gate to get a glimpse of the great player will miss the thrill that attended ,-uch ar. occasion. No player in the history of baseball bar- had more admirers, has carved as deep a niche in baseball's hall of fame. To no other player has greater horrtage been offered by America, a nation prone to offer adulation to the man who can do some one thing better than any one else in the world. Tvrus Raymond Cobb, like most of the heroes in this country, came unheralded out of a little country town. Nearly a quarter of a century ago a lanky awkward youth applied for a job with the Augusta. Ga., hall club. After a brief trial he was sent to Anniston, Ala., to obtain "seasoning" in a league of lower classification. Next he returned* to Augusta and played sq well that the Detroit club of the American league bought him. In August, 1H05, he began his major league career? a career that has never been dimmed even by one sea-c son of mediocre work. As a batter, as a fielder, as a baselunner, Cobb was a player par excellence. His scientific baserunning caused many big league clubs to alter their method of play. Cobb outguessed the enemy, always. The opposing club never knew what to expect from the Georgian. He did the unexpected. None knew how to fortify against the player who never did what the average hall player might be expected to do. Cobb was made manager of the Detroit club in 11120. As might have been expected of a player individually great, Cobb failed to imbue his players with the fiery dash that character- | ized his own play. His player? could not think as quickly nor act as quickly. Cobb did not succeed in winning a pennant for Detroit. This was his greatest regret as he laid down the club reins and announced that his his ball carec-r had terrrrrtiated. No athlete in America has occupied a brighter plate in the spotlight than, ' ( <>bb. Young Americans have always regarded the Gtu:gian as the epitome if clean living, athlet.i pr?.wes* and qui: k thinking. Cobb was alvvavs true to his tiust. He never failed give has, ball patrons w hat th< > paid to sec?flash} . scientific baseba... just a little bit better than any other player could offer. In Detroit it was oft<jn '.aid that the fans went to Niv-' ' "Id to see Ty Cobb, not the Tigers. Baseball wilt miss Cobb, but probably it can be slid that baseball will b* tW kett?f f*r Oobh** tnftuea^: Memory of his thrilling performances on the diamond will always he a challenge to those who follow him. Even though there may never be another Cobb, the marvelous Georgian's rev- ' ord will exert a wholesome influence upon the game which he, more than any one man, made the fastest, most thrilling sport the modern world ha-> known. Cobb's place in baseball history is secure. No other man's name belongs beside that of the illustriou.Southerner. WOMAN SHOOTS AT MAN Staler W??ua Kim H) Ntfr? Oa Kaaaiag IW4 of Her far (Monday's SumWr Item) Mrs. B. F. Smart, who live* at thej Uu*? of Mr*. C. C. iflyMit on Ken- ; druk street. Monday night underwent' an exciting and dangcroui experience , while on her wa> to lUrtaviUe to', meet her huaband who it a railroad; engineer. Mr*. Smart had ju?t pa><**d througb Lydia and taken the turn toward* Hartaville when she noticed tome distance ahead a light touring car with the top down, occupied by three negroe*. The car was proceeding a', a low rate of speed, and had a North Carolina licence on the back. Instead of drawing over to the right of the road and allowing her to pass, the negro driver pulled sharply over to the left arid started zigzagging. As he approached a small bridge, however, he slowed down and pulled over for her to pass. Mrs. Smart waited, she said, until after she crossed the bridge and then seeing her chance* pulled up to pass, at the same timej picking up a revolver from the sea'.. As she drew alongside the car con tajning the negroes, one of the occu-' pants stepped out on his running ! board and then leaped on the running-1 board of Mrs. Smart's car. As he j leaped Mrs. Smart fired and as she ! saw him fall stepped on her acceler-; a'.or and spurted ahead. When she , looked back she *aw two of the j negroes lifting the man she had fired \ at from the road, and one of them | was pulling the fallen man's coat back j from his shoulder, as though to un- ' cover a wound. Mrs. Smart drove on to Hartsville' and got her husband and when thev j reached Bishopville on the return trip ( the police were notified and an investigation was started this morning. It is believed that Mrs. Smart wounded her would-be assailant and that ' he was removed by his companion** 1 to some safe hiding place. The sheriff of Darlington county was called on the telephone" "by Chief Bar wick ; of Sumter this morning and he was a*ked to look into the matter. He promised to do so, but nothing had been heard from him by noon today. : i I Dr. Joshua K. Hayes, personal phy- j sician to the late President Lincoln, died in Washington on Friday, agei 95 years.
