leigh was about the show and The
positive attitude OF the mayor TO-
wards t. The theater manager en-
;.loyed three lawyer. among them s1-
Governor Aycock.
The chief OF police and score OF
patrolmen entered the Academy "f
Music nearly an hour before tac
time set for the performance and be-
fore the performers had arrived and
when there were only a handful OF
people IN the seats. cleared out
every body including the manager
and took possession. Chief Stall re
nained inside and row OF patrol
men stood IL front Of the great eoid-
Ing doors OF the main entrance. which
were c!osea. A crowd OF several
hundred quietly gathered. but Their
was no demonstration beyond ch-c:'.
which were intended 70 ridicute the
city authorities. Nearly the ca;sre
crowd were young men. Four false
Alarms OF FIRE were turned in. In
quick succession. The patrol wagon
Was kept near the ;heater so as to
be ready for use.
An attempt was made az Lilling-
ton 10 induce Judge Oliver Allen TO
grant an order restraining the mayor
end chief Of police from interfering
with the performance. but the judge
declined. The trip to Ellington was
made by q Raleigh attorney IN an
automobile.

people hung around the tEeate7.
thinking something might turn up.
BIZ, nothing happened.
Il is asserted that suit for dam
ages against the mayor and the city

house.
1t was said that If the police had
waited unit! the curtain rose and
then stopped the show some one was
to rise and personally denounce the
mayor. This statement was heard
from several persons. but 10 one
you'd say who was to make the at
tack.
Only two arrests were made. one
OF the theatre electricians by Chief
stell at the side door and the other
negro employe. The police left the
theatre at 20 o'clock.

the State Hospital for the Insane.
The Senate Of South Carolina by a
-ote OF % 10 9 has tabled the res
olu:ioa calling for the resignation
OF DR.. James W. Babcock. supecin-
teraent OF the State Hospital for III"
Insane. and the board OF regents
The vote came late Thursday after
noon. after the matter had been dis
cussed pro and con for nearly three
legislative days.
By the Senate'S action DR.. Bah
cock and the members OF the board
0: regents are vindicated from the
charges OF mismanagenent brought
upon the floor OF the Senate By those
who favored the re:s;ution. It was
an unconscious battle between the
kindness and humaneness o. the
Hospital and the crying needs OF that
institution on the one hand against
the conditions as pictured by the
legislative committee supporting an
Indictment against those otnc!ais
touching methods l. vogue at the
Asylum on the other hand
That DR.. Babcock had given his
whole soul to the work OF the Ua-
fortuna.es Of this State. that he had
made noble sacrifices in behalf OF
he inmates OF the Asylum. that on
many occasions the needs OF the
institution had been poisted out by
him and BY others were contentious
that had their weight il the Senate.
II the whole matter could be sum
med up In one sentence ss ex-
planning the majority Of the Senates
opinion 1t would read:
I'VE are as much to blame as any
one for the conditions at the Asy-
lam: then why blame Dr.. Baocock
and the regen,s?"
OF course. there was strong arsn-
meat supporting the contention OF
the majority OF the legislative com
:uittee, and the Senator's favoT!nS
he resolution that the officials were
responsible for certain matters.
Senator Clifton made statement
For the judiciary committee. he
said the committee did not consider
hat the superintendent or the board
o. regents had the administrative or
executive ability to handle the in.
ssitu,ion along business-like lines:
that the committee had no intention
of bringing into the discussion sl=
cersonal character Of the suDerinten-
dent or the board OF regents
II would not say anything TO re-
fleet or their worth and character,
but they were not OF sufacien: ous:-
ness ability to carry on the work
This IS best shown by the conditions
existing. We feel that the gentlemen
low In charge would themselves
:avo. to not have charge Of any plan
we might now institute.
Senator Weston moved that the
resolution be laid or the table. The
vote resulted:
