Thursday, the 2sth-A Six-Club
League Decided Upon.
The State league Of baseball teams
will mold q meeting here on, the 2Sth
instant, at which final plans for COM
pleting the organization Of the league
fer the ensuing season viii be per-
fected,
At present the outlook for a strong
organization of six-club league is
very favorable. This league will be
composed of towns within the middle
and Pee Dee sections of the State, in
Guiding Camden, Darlington, Orange
burg, Sumter, Florence anG one other
point not yet decided upon.
The plan for working UP an eight
club league composed Of four towns
in the Piedmont and four towns Of
the Pee Dee section, has been aban-
doned, principally for the reason that
the railway connections are poor and
the distances between too great, max
ing the scheme very impracticable.
Local enthusiasts are in receipt Of
communications assuring them that
the towns proposing to enter clubs in
the new league, viii have representa-
tives here at the meeting on the above
date.
At this meeting all the prelimina-
ries will be arranged and the cleo
ton of new president, vice Mr.. H.
S. Baird, resigned, will be held, in or
der that the local managers may enter
at once upon the work of organizing
their clubs.

FOR SWEET PROFITS SAKE.
Charleston's Police Force Will Now
Enforce the Dispensary Law.

Charleston, Feb. 20.-Ch,ef Of Por
lice Boyle detailed a special officer at
the Clyde Steamship company's
wharves today and gave the entire
force special orders that no contra
band liouors are to be imported or
moved through the streets Of Char
lesion and he made it plain to the
police officers that> the men who 10
not obey his instructions 60 the letter
will be dismissed from the force.
In speaking of the matter today:
Chief Boyle said that he realized the
importance Of the situation, especially
at this time, and he feels that the po-
lice department will accomplish
great deal if it puts a stop to the i'm
portation and delivery Of liquors to
blind tigers and storing places about
the city. The departure Of Chief Con-
stable Holmes and the breaking up Of
the force OF constables made it neces-
sary, said Chief Boyle today, that the
police department should take
hand and proceed vigorously. While
the constables were here with special
instructions Of the State authorities
to stop importation and deliveries, the
police department has not, been as ac-
tive in this particular line Of action,
but now the whole responsibility rests
upon the police force and Major Boyle
said that he and his force Of officers
and men are prepared and willing to
meet the issue and the orders of
Mayor Rhett will be carried out to the
letter.
