NASHVILLE, NOV. 28.-Tyrus
Cobb, the Georgia Peach" and pre-
mier baseball artist the world was
a callr Monday morning at the office
of Gov. Ben W. Hooper, who has also
established record for putting
them over" The famous bludgeon
wielder was accompanied by some Of
the local bugs" and spent ten min
utes in conversing with the Cover
nor.
Ty chaffed the Governor at his sue
cess in locating the plate at the open
ing of the season in this city last
spring, at which time the horsehide
scared gracefully over the exact spot
and fell into the open palm of Mayor
Howse who dropped it. He admit
ted that the Governor had made a
hit" by his catapaulting and sug-
gested that if he failed in politics the
diamond would still have offered him
a future. The conversation was large
ly of the lighter order, and Ty ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with
his host.
Gov. Hooper, when asked how Ty
impressed him, said: "a nice fell
low. A little mere refined in his man
ner and a little more effeminate
looking than expected for an ath-
lete of such prowess."

AND LABOR LEADERS ARE

SAY that THEY'LL PROSECUTE
Large Establishment Said to Have
Taken Summary Steps to Prevent
Organization OF EmpIoyes-several
Have Quit, Others Have Been Fired.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Now. 29.-
Forcing girls to submit to the out
rage OF being searched for organic
ed labor literature or lose their Jobs
Is what a large establishment of
Nashville that employs numbers of
women and girls Is now doing" says
George L. Kennedy, State factory in
spector, and for every girl who has
been searched there will be a States
warrant against the proprietor for as
sault, Prosecution will be pushed to
the limit.
"The recent agitation here ovet the
organization of the girls who work
for living in Nashville, in order that
better salaries may be secured and
other improvements made for their
benefit, is the cause of this treat
ment, and in order to prevent the
girls from lettering themselves this
establishment is resorting to this
means to suppress organization
among it's employees"
The local trades and labor counsel
has begun an Investigation of this
case, and last night a few details of
what was alleged to have been discov-
cred was given by a prominent labor
leader. He said: Eight girls have
already quit and several have been
fired on account of refusing to be
treated in this manner. Several or
these have been advised by labor
leaders and have consulted lawyers
with the idea Of bringing suit for dam
ages against the company besides the
criminal prosecution for assault"
The leaders of organized labor in
Nashville aud State Factory Inspector
Kennedy have been particularly &C
tive lately in regard to protecting the
working women. Local labor leaders
say that in spite or such opposition
as this case shows, most Of the work
ing women of Nashville will be organ
lied and further legislation will be
secured for their protection when the
legislature meets.
In other cities many of the proml
nent society women have led in the
work of helping in the organization of
working women, and it is expected
after the Christmas holidays the agi
tation for the furthering of this work
will begin in a lively fashion and the
labor leaders will ask the aid of many
prominent women.
Affidavits in the cases in question
are being now secured, says Mr.. Ken
nedy.

MUCH INTEREST IN
personnel OF NEW
CITY ADMINISTRATION
SPECULATION AS TO MEMBER
SHIP OF MNYOR-ELECT's PRO-
POSED BOARD.
WILL NAME THE POLICE FORCE
Expected That H. E. Ritter Will
Again Be Made the Head of the
Fire epartment-Street Overseer
to Be Selected Also.

AS the time for the Inauguration or
the new mayor approaches interest in
the personnel OF the new city govern
ment increases. On the first Thurs
day night of next year, Mayor-elect
Dedman and the new Board OF Alder
men will be indicted into office and
Immediately thereafter the filling OF
the minor offices of the city will COM
mence.
The most important position to be
filled is that of city marshal. There
are several more or less active candI- /
dates for this job. The impression
seems to prevail, whether we'll found
ed or not, that the present marshal,
Ed Morgan, who has filled the posi-
ton with credit for che past four
years, will not again be appointed,
Then there are the patrolmen, four
in number, to be named. The posi-
ton of street overseer is a most de-
sirable one. Little interest has been
taken in the personnel of the fire de-
partment it being generally conced-
ed that Chief II. e. Ritter, who has
served the city so long, faithfully ana
efficiently in that capacity, will have
the job again.
Among the active or prospective
candidates for city marshal are An
drew B. Ewing at present the city
sanitary officer, and Tom Mclean OF
McKennon, Anderson & Fosters de-
partment store. Then there are 9TH
ers mentioned and a dark horse may
be named.
Real interest, however, centers In
the fire and police commission to be
named by Mayor-elect Dedman. The
appointment Of this commission will
be the first act of the new mayor.
Upon it's personnel will depend the
success or failure of his administra-
ton to enforce the laws for this COM
mission will appoint and discharge
the policemen. OF course since the
Mayor will name the commission he
! can if he should desire, have great
; weight with it in the selection Of the
members Of the police force. The
commission will be composed OF
three members and will be a distinct
innovation in city government in Co
lumbia.

A CALL FOR A HALF CENT

Resumption Of coinage of the
half cent piece is being agitated
in some quarters, the principal
argument advanced is it would
save money for buyers especially
the poor. who need it most. In all
cases now where the half cent
figures in the price Of an article
the dealer gets the benefit of the
odd half cent unless the customer
purchases two of the articles.
There are many things sold two
for cent Two for a nickle or two
for a quarter of which some
purchasers deisre only one. The
half cent piece would enable item
to buy exactly what they wanted
at it's exact price. If the demand
for the half penny becomes general
congress no doubt will give heed
to it and order a resumption Of
its coinage. Springfield Union.
