Builder of the Line Has Submitted
Proposition to Committee OF the
Council.

Darlington, June 15.-At a recent
meeting of the town council a COM
mittee consisting Of Messrs. T. z. Sigh,
D. d, Whitcover and c. Edwards,
mayor, was appointed to look into the
matter of setting the new railroad
from McBee in Chesterfield county to
come to Darlington, and to take such
steps as they deemed necessary to en-
courage the road to Darlington. Ac-
cordingly the matter was taken up
with Mr. Bonsal, who is building the
road, and a proposition was submitted
by him through which it is very prob
able that the new road viii be obtain
ed.
The business men Of Darlington
have interested themselves in the mat
ter along with the committee from the
council, and every influence that can
be brought to bear to obtain the road
will be used. 1t now seems probable
that Darlington will have this new
outlet and additional railroad facili-
ties that it has needed for some time.

CHARLESTON SURRENDERS SEC
OND OF SERIES.
In 4 Slow Game the Game Cocks PLAY
Rings Around the VisitOrs-Scorc
II to Islanders Yields But Four
Hits.

The Game Cocks in Thursdays
game with the Charleston Collegians
showed complete reversal of form in
both fielding and hitting, and won
with hands down by a big margin, the
score being II to l.
The principal trouble that the Wis
itors had to contend with was the
wildness and ineffectiveness of both
Of the pitchers that were sent to the
mound. Time and again the bases
were crowded in this manner, and
then would come a brindle to clear
the sacks.
In the first two innings every man
on the home team went to the bat,
with the result that three runners
were showed over the pan in the open
ing round, and five more counted in
the next. Sumter lad the game re-
frigerated from the jump, and there
was never a time that the visitors
threatened seriously. The one run
that they got came in the third when
a base on balls, a stolen base, and a
hit by Schroeder counted one for the
Collegians. Clean hitting netted the
locals one run in the third, and two
in the fifth. After that the fusillade
happily ceased.
Sanders was the star of the came.
The clever little twirler 0iX"d them
up well, and yielded but four hits, dur
ing the entire game, an oi that lum-
could not be felded on acoouN. IF the
glaring rays of the sun hat lllnded
the fielder in left garden. He ditch
ed a beautiful game.
Walter Jones was in the gam sew
en- ways. His fielding was one Of the
bright features, and his stick work
netted the locals several runs. He Sc
cured two doubles and single with
five times up. Monaghan got two nice
safeties, and Dick batted a thousand
with two singles, a sacrifice hit, base
on balls and being hit once out Of four
trips to the plate.
The game was rather slow, but It
will undoubtedly have it's good results,
as the boys now see that they can get
away with a game, even with the best
of amateurs, college men.

ON TRIP OF INSPECTION
Asylum Commission Visiting Ins.itu-
tions i'm Eastern States.

Columbia, June 16.-The members
OF the commission appointed by Gov
ernor Ansel to devise plans for the
improvement of conditions at the State
Hospital for the Insane, as provided
for under an Act Of the last General
Assembly, are on a trip of inspection
Of the asylums of the Eastern States.
The commission has been away for
esveral days and will be absent for
several days and will be absent for
1t is the purpose of the commission
to make a thorough inspection of all
OF the larger asylums Of the East be-
fore announcing any plans for the i'm
Provement of the Asylum in this State.
For this reason no announcement has
been made as to the site which will
be purchased by the commission. Over
forty sites have been offered. When
the commission returns to the State
an inspection will be made of all of
the sites offered and the most suita BILE
for the purposes will be selected.
The members of the commission are
DR.. j. w. Babcock, superintendent of
the State Hospital for the Insane; DR..
Robert Wilson, Jr., Charleston, chair
man Of the State Board of Health; DR..
George B. Cromer, Newberry; Judge
R. O. Purdy, of Sumter, and the Hon.
Leroy Springs, of Lancaster.
Governor Ansel recently gave his
opinion that the commission was not
restricted as to the amount to be bor-
roWed on the credit of the State for
the Improvement Of the conditions at
the State Hospital for the Insane. In
the resolution the sum is 100000, but
this amount is not the maximum in
the opinion of Governor Ansel. He
has placed liberal construction upon
the Act.
1t is the general opinion that the re-
suit Of the work of the commission
will be the segregation of the races
and that the Improvements will con-
tinue through several years.
