Will Walt [Until Governor Can Appoint Suc cessor. -Columbia, March 1.-Affairs at the Stato Hospital for the Insane took a sensational turn when Dr. J. W. Bab cock, the superintendent, gave Gover nor Cole L. Blease notice yesterday of his determination to forward his resignation immediately. Tins is re garded as the climax of the iiguit w.ie!c has been waged, more or less violent ly at tl'mes, against the 1 airl of this institution by his opponelt.4 in .polit ical life. iDr. Babcock gave as his reason for not resigning immediately that he (eared hasty and unannounced action would result in detriment to tho any lum, for the best interests of whi1h he says he is at all times working. Through the chairman and members of the committee of the general as eembly conducted the recent inquiry into the operation of the hospital and the charges against Dr. E'leanora B. Saunders, a woman, assistant phy aician at the hospital, Dr. Babcock advised the chief pxecutive of his de cislon. The committee was instruct ed by Dr. Babcock to ask Governor illoase to inform him of the time when his resignation could he accepted with least injury to the asylum. That Governor please had stated he 'would take the matter under consid oration and certainly inform Dr. Bab cock before the final adjournment of the present session of the general assembly was the report of the com mitteemen to the superintendent. Governor Bleaso in atn interview late yesterday stated that he would accept Dr. Babcock's resignation whenever it was placed in his hands. Governor's Statement. "If Dr. Babcock wants to know how lo g 'it will take for me to determine w t to do with 'his resignation, just let him place it in my hands. Just as soon as Cole L. Blease can sign his name to that resignation, the mat ter will be disposed of finally. The same applies to the resignation of Dr. Saundere. "I have not engaged Dr. Babcock in conversation since Representative Stevenson introduced 111 resolution in the General Assembly calling for an investigation of the asylum. Dr. Ilab cock has made no effort to get in communication with me," the governor continued. He has Dr. lHabcock's resignation now in his hands, which was placed in his possession last Sep tomber, he said. In reply to the question as to what was the exact nature of the confer ence early Saturday between Gover nor Blease and Senator T. J. Maul lin, chairman of the asylum legisla tive investigation committee and Sen ator T. .J. Strait, a member of that committee, the governor requested the interviewer to secure that information from Senator 'Mauldin. Dr. Sauniders Ill. What will be the action of Dr. Soun ders in this regard is not known. She is ill at the state hospital for the in sane, suffering a slight breakdown fol lowing her strenuous fight for her ex oneration before the investigating com mittee. )r. Babcock, however, stated yester day that Dr. Saunders also would probably be compelled to resign fol lowing much action on his part. The superintendent stated that her life there would probably be made unbear able, certainly unpleasant, and that her work would probably be hamper 1;d by contrary efforts of certain other oflicials of the institution. Nothing could be learned from Dr. Saunders herself regarding her plans. What course sie will take now that she has been exonerated of all charges and suspicions against her by the sweeping report of the legislative in vestigating committee is said by Dr. Babcock to depend principally upon the advice of her father, lRepresenta tive 0. L. Saunders, of York county. Representative Saunders was ab sent from Columbia yesterday, hav Ing departed for his home Friday. He is expected to return here Tuesday morning. While neither Dr. Saunders nor hdr father could be communicated with, it seemed generally understood by those in close touch with the situ ation that her resignation would fol low closely upon that of Dr. Dabcoek's. Won't Advise Dr. Saunders. Dr. Ilabcock declined late yesterday to state definitely what action he would advise Dr. Saunders to take in the event of his resigning. "I've only acted for Dr. Saunders inl the absence of her father, and at times when her father would not have been capable of defending ner. Her future actions will depend entirely upon her own judgment and that of her father," he said. Regarding his own plans, Dr. Bab cock stated that when he severed his connection with the state hospital for the insanel he would remain in Colum bia, and practice as a physician-spe cialist. He proposes to specialize in the treatment of nervous and mental disorders, lie stated. As particularly regarded his resigning, lie said he had nothing further to say than that which he had stated earlier in the day. Ie proposes waiting, it appeared from his statements, until advised by Governor Blease as to the time when the superintendency of the hospital can he filled judiciously by the gov rrnor's appointment before ho for wards his resignation. While the na ture of the governor's statement to The Record was made known to him, he did not ro.card that as official. He did not caro to further discuss the conferences in the lobby of the capi tol early in the (lay with members of the committee investigating the hos pital recently. The Governor's lteply. Representative J. A. lunter, of Blamberg, secretary of the committee conducting the inqluiry into the hos pital, gave- to The Record the follow ing statement regarding the confer ences: "As I gathered from the statements of Senator Mauldin and Senator Strait, that conference was merely that these gentlemen were requested by Dr. Bab cock to appear before Governor Blease and ask him what lie intended doing with regard to his (Dr. Babcock's) resignation. Tho report of the sen ators was that the governor had stated he would take the matter under con sideration and advise Dr. Babcock of his intentions as early as -possible." lest Family Laxative Beware of Constipation.

Chester, Feb. 27.-The boldest rob berry committed here in years occur red this afternoon at the Seaboard Air Line depot, when Mr. A. Pat Wilson, day ticket agent, was knocked down, it is said, by two strange white men, who then rifled the cash drawer of $261.80, and fled. The robbery was committed just after the departure of passenger train No. 13, after the crowd had left the station and Mr. Wilson was perparing to cross the street to the freight depot. One of the men is described by Mr. Wilson as being about 5 feet, 6 inches in height, and heavy set, while his companion was taller. They are believed to be strang ers. Mr. Wilson was knocked uncon scious with some blunt instrument, and lay in that condition for half an hour, or more.
