A NEW HEAD FOR THE ASYLUM.
DR.. Babccck, of Chester, Made Superin-
tendent.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 1.-The vacan-
cy in the superintendency CT the Asy-
lum was filled to-day by the appoint
ment to that position of DR.. James W..
Babcock, of Chester. The appointee
will assume charge of the Office on the
1st day of August. The position, it is
understood, was offered to DR.. n. S.
Hardin, of Anderson, from whom Gov
ernor Tillman received a letter of de-
clination with appreciative a:knowl-
edgment of the tender Of the honor.
DR.. Hardin modestly in his letter states
that he felt conscious of his inability 20
ill the place, and gives the further
reason for declining that he did not
care to have his family near the Asy-
lum.
II will, of course, be interesting TO
know something about Superintendent
Babcock. He is South Carolinian
and is about 35 years of age. He began
the study Of medicine IN 1874. He
studied for four years at Exeter Acad-
envy. from which he entered Harvard
College and was there graduated IN
1882. He took a medical course at
Harvard and studied practically at the
Tewkesbury Aims House during the
vacations OF 1888 and 1884
In 1885 he took position at the Nc
Lean Asylum. which he tiled until the
present time. In 1883 he went to
Europe and made a critical examlna-
sion of the methods of practice and
treatment Of some of the more promi-
nent institutions in the old country.
He is also familiar with the working of
the larger asylums of the country, hay
ing visited them from time to time.
DR.. Babcock's highest testimonials
are from DR.. Cowles, the director OF the
Mclean Asylum at Somervllle, Mass,
where DR.. Babcock holds the position
of assistant superintendent. DR.. Bah
cock did not apply for the place to
which he has been appointed, and from
all the external evidence" it ls a case
of the place seeking the man, and es
pecially as Governor Tillman had Of
fered the place to another physician.
The testimonials on behalf of DR..
Babcock are furnished by friends de-
string his appointment. 1t is worthy
of mention that at Harvard DR.. Bah
cock was awarded the Story scholar
ship, which is given only to men OF the
highest moral character and lntellec-
tual attainments.
It is learned that DR.. Babcock will
spend a month or so making lnvestlga-
tions as to executive details and man
agement at the asylums in North Caro-
lima. Alabama and Pennsylvania.

DEAD II 4 WELL.
AN AGED WOMAN THOUGHT TO
HAVE SUiCIDED.

Tho Wife ofa Well Known Atlanta C!oi-
zen In :, Demented Condition Gets Up st
Night and Steps Into a Well.
ATLANTA, June 27.-There was a
tragic death out on Magnolia street in
this CITY. Mrs. NJ. II. Keltn.r, wife CT
the we'll known shoemaker breathed
out her life at the bottom of the well
on the premises.
A little over a year ago Mrs. keltner
had severe fal! in which She disloca-
ted her hip, aud since then She has
never seen a we'll day. Her protracted
illness had somewhat affected her mind,
and for the last two days it was ueces-
sary TO watch her very closely.
Her friends have been helping her
husband watch the afflicted lady, but at
night she seemed so quiet that it Was
thought unnecessary to sit up with her.
At Y o'clock she was sleeping quietly,
and her husband, worn out for the want
of rest, threw himself on the bed and
tried to sleep also, but the night was
so warm that he could not, and alter
about two hours of restIesSness went
into the garden and walked about to
get cool. When be returned to the
house be instinctively cast his eyes IN
the direction of his wife's bed, but to
his amazement she was not there. He
called her, but she did not answer. He
searched the house and garden but
could not find her, and becoming fright
ened he called in the neighoors. After
an hours diligent search she was still
not found.
One of the neighbors then thought
of the well in the back yard they all
rushed there and when they pulled the
rope they fels dead weight at the
other end, and at once guessed the
cause. Two men went down and
brought up the body Of the unfortunate
woman and carried it into the house.
The sides of the well are entirely too
high for Mrs. Keltuer to have walked in
unconsciously; but she may have gone
to get some water, as she was very
feverish. and in leaning over the well,
have fallen in. II is thought by some
that she committed suicide.
Mrs. Keltner was about 60 years old,
She was the fourth wife of Mr.. keltner,
and had been married twice herself.
She had no children of her own, but
had six living step-children. Her
maiden name was Ansley. but when
she was married to Mr.. keltner she
was Mrs. Bower. She was beloved by
all who knew her, as she was deyout
Christian woman.

SOUTH CAROLlNA'S PROGRESS.
Twenty Towns OF Over Two Thousan
Inhabitants.

Twenty Towns OF Over Two Thousan
Inhabitants.
CHARLESTON, S. c., July 2-The
News and Courier published Wednes-
day an elaborate REVIEW OF the indus
trial progress of South Carolina for the
past SIX months.
The review Will show that the farm
productions of the State have increased
IN volume and variety. Unusual at
tention has been paid to stock raising,
manufacturing establishments have
sprung up in almost every part of the
State, railroad construction has been
carried on without intermission, phos-
phate and gold mining have steadily
grown in Importance and towns have
developed.
The amount OF money expended, in
vested and proposed to be invested in
the last six months on account ofindus-
trial establishments and of newly COM
p!eted railway mileage is S1l, $4,000.
Over 100 miles OF new railway lines
have been opaned for traffic, while the
amount actually invested in manufac-
turing establishments alone in the same
period is given at S6,l15.OOO, or at the
rate of over 100000 month.
The railroad lines opened since Jan.
l make the total for the State 1900
miles, but more than forty new lines
are reported as under construction, pro-
jected and proposed, number of which
will be completed within few years.
Industrial activity, it is said, is con-
fined to no particular locality or Sec
tion, but pervades every part OF the
State.
The investment of S2,o65,Wo In cot
ton manufactures in six months was
distributed among thirty different
places, while the investment of $40, 900
in the canning business, which IS
scarcely more than year old, was dis.
tributed among fifteen different places
in almost as many counties.
In 1880 only nine towns in the State
had population of over 1900. Now
there are twenty towns OF this class,
and they scattered over the whole
State, showing that industrial growth
has been general.

The Annual Drink Bill.

"The one obvious moral opportunity
to-day that is the way Professor F.
G.. Peabody first characterized the tenn
perance question in his lecture on the
subject in the Lowell Institute course
at Boston. There are two aspects of
the liquor question, said he, the eco
nomic and the moral. There are at pres
ent in the liquor traffic throughout the
country some 200, 900 persons-163, 900
in the retail and the rest wholesale.
These figures represent only the dealers.
The number of persons employed is up
ward of 100000. The worst of these
horrible figures is that they mean the
withdrawal of just so many persons
from right kind of employments. In
their present occupation they contribute
little or nothing to the wealth of the
country. AS to the amount of liquor
consumed, in 1856 1887 100000 was
spent for spirits, 1904, 900, 900 for beer,
SIG 100000 for imported wines, and
1874 100000 for domestic wines-a
frightful total of about 100000, 900.
That is one.twefth of the amount spent
for food, clothing and other necessarie
of life. In the same year there was re-
ceived as wages S947 100000, and the
liquor bill consumed two-thirds of it.
Again, it costs $3.50, 100000 a year for
churches, and the drink bill would buy
all the churches in six months. Behind
all this is the great importance of the
moral aspect. That drink is injurious to
the person in 900 cases out of 900 goes
without proof. The question is: How
can it be stopped? Legislation fails of
its aims. The solution of the problem,
though still far off, perhaps, is in each
individual recognizing that he himself
is an important factor in his commu-
nifty as an example, and adopting for
himself the teaching: off meat make
my brother to offend, l will eat no
meat, lest make my brother to Offend
