ate Bald:
"Here are certified coplee of reso
lutlons pnsped by thc board of re
gents, and they are made up of the
most amusing statements I have ever
seen, if it were not for the fact that
they ore so serious." Senator Crouch
referring to the second resolution,
denying any clutrges against the mor
al character of Dr. Saunders said:
"If the board were justified in pass
ing this last resolution, they made a
most egregious blunder in passing
the first."
'Tho honor of a woman ls at stake," i
cried Senator Crouch, "this matter
ought to be investigated and if thc
charges arc false; she ought to be
exonerated, and If they are true, she
should be driven out of the hospital.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The successful conduct of a school
of this kind at Spartanburg under tko
control of the Methodist d?nomination
at the Spartan mil's was pointed out.
The bill was opposed chiefly because
it henefitted only the Piedmont coun
ties and a few others in which Vie
mill population ls above 2,000.
Mr. Stevenson made a ringing .
speech in favor of the bill, although
there, are no cotton mUlo tat his cou*?
ty. The* measure waa supported by
the entire Piedmont membership of
the house and by the whole Charles-*

ment advanced In favor of the Mir
