C, Jan. 20. Investi gation of the State hospital for the insane was ordered today by the South Carolina General Assembly following the receipt of a sensational message from Governor Cole L. Blease, inclos ing a copy of a personal letter which the Governor said was ' written by United- States "Senator B. R. Tillman and mailed under a government frame. The order directing the investigation was embodied in a concurrent resolu tion. Governor Blease said in hfs message that Senator Tillman in his letter re ferred t3 an alleged attempt to oust Dr. J. W. Babcock, superintendent of the hospital, by "Governor Blease's underlings and satellites," A bill au thorizing the sale of the hospital now is pending in the House. The value of the property involved is said to ex ceed ?1,000,000. "All the facts will be brought out if an investigation is ordered, as I hope will be. An effort will be made to smirch Dr. Babcock and his lady assistant, Dr. Saunders, as these men must have such excuse, you know, and the not at all scrupulous," reads the letter alleged to have been sent by the senator. Alice Holmes, Blind Poetess, Dead at Age of 92 New York, Jan. 20. Miss Alice A. Holmes, who delighted in the title of "the blind poetess of Jersey City," died on Sunday at the home or her niece, Mrs. Teresa E. Kolb, 278 A Union Street, that city, in her 93rd year She was a friend and school- - mate of Fanny J. Crosby, the blind hymn writer. - ; . Miss Holmes was born in the coun ty of Norfolk, England, on February 9, 1821, and at the age of nine she came to this country with her parents in a sailing vessel. On the 7-weeks' trip over smallpox developed among the passengers and the girl was stricken. The disease left her totally blind. In speaking of her affliction to a reporter several years ago she said that her "last view of a human face .. nd nature fir came as the slow-going ship was passing the Staten Island shore.": At the age of 17 Miss Holmes was sent to the New York institution for the blind, where she was a roommate of Miss Crosby. On the first evening they were together they exchanged confidences, and Miss Crosby said that she was a Methodist. . "To what church do you belong?" asked the elder blind girl. "I am an Episcopalian," replied Miss Holmes. "Oh," exclaimed Miss Crosby, ''then you are a churchman I" and a moment later she began to sing: "Oh, how it grieves my poor old bones To sleep so near this Alice Holmes; I will inform good Mister Jones I cannot room with a churchman." Three years ago Miss Crosby visit- ' ed Miss Holmes in Jersey City and together the blind women recalled that poem and laughed heartily over the recollections of their first meet ing. . Miss Holmes did not begin to writr poetry until she was more than 26 years old. She published foui volumes, "Poems by Alice Holmes" '. (1849), "Arcadian Leaves" (1858) "Stray LeaYes (1868), and "Lost VI ion' (1888). She used to say that she didnot give her poems to the world to acquire farm" but just to keep the pot boiling." - On her birthday anniversaries she always put on her best gown ana urc- . ;iaj her. beat gown and lat- est ,knw snawi v.:u h borhood. . i ar IKeis in Charge of Missouri To iWcco Warehouse. ynMorth Carolin Uvus are conducting the newly-opened j .. . n i : Ui.acco nu.r. el as uearuum, mv., : Hfar St. Joseph, where the State of iViltiSOUl'l Si ,.d Middle Western business ; i fronts itie seei inar . to revive the ,ce force; Art Hastlans, of Kinston, auctioneered ai me opening sui, wuw 164,316 pounds were sold for $20,000, and Luther N.

Croker Advises Against Long Stapk Colton Next Season. Columbia, S. C, Jan. 20. David R Croker, of Harts Hie.' presidart of the South Carolina Plant Breeders' Asso- iation, in his annual address before the meeting of the association here Monday, advised against planting long staple cotton next season exccrt in sections of the State where the marketing facilities are good. "The growers of long staple cotton have been unable to interest the cot ton buyers to the extent of creating a a steady and uniform market for long staple cotton," he said. "I have done all I could to help second President Dabbs of the Farmers' Union in his efforts to better the marketing condi tions. I believe a proper system of warehouses would greatly benefit the staple cotton market. "Unless we can change present marketing conditions, I believe that farmers should stop planting staple cotton, and go back to short staple cotton, where they are not favorably located as regards markets." ' A number of other experts made addresses on various phases of plant breeding. Petition for Pardon of Cleve McBryde Heard by Governor. Kaleigh, Jan. 20.

Deputy Sheriffs of Ire dell county went into Yadkin county to capture McBryde and shot him desperately before he aws taken. Now chere is a movement to institute suit against the deputies and their bonds men for damages. The opposition to the pardon insists that to grant the pardon would be to prejudice the dam age suit against the officers.
