WIBORG GOES TO JAIL.
One Result OF the Policy of Calling
Spain a Friendly Nation.

At Philadelphia Tuesday, wiborg, the late
captain Of the steamer Horsa whose convic-
tion for engaging in a flibustering expedi-
ton was affirmed by the Supreme Court OF
the United States, surrendered himself in the
district court for the purpose Of com pleting
his sentence OF one year and four months.
Capt. Eer, Of counsel for defendant objected
to the form ofthe order which had been pre-
pared for Captain Wiborg's recommitment
and which called for an Imprisonment OF one
year. three months and twenty-sight days.
Lawyer ker stated that his client had been
imprisoned two days in March, and he
asked that the time that had elapsed from
the date OF the writ Of error taken to the Su-
preme court until: now be deducted. thus
shortening the term Of actual imprisonment
Judge Butler decided adversely, however.
Then Captain Ker moved that the order be
changed so as to read 'incudin2 this day."
This was done and the captains unexpired
term is reduced one day. This afternoon he
was taken to the Eastern penitentiary.
During the discussion Captain Ker spoke
loudly. This led Judge Butler to remark
that 1t was warm day and that there was no
need for the counsellor or himself to get
excited.
well" replied Captain Ker, "I don't get
eIcited-I am only earnest. would rather
be In that mans place (pointipg towards
captain Wiborg) than where l am today"

THE ASYLUM REGENTS.
The Board Arranges for Additional
Quarters for White Women.

The Board Arranges for Additional
Quarters for White Women.
The board of regents for the State
Hospital for the Insane held their reg
ularly monthly meeting at the iustitu-
sion in Columbia Thursday. All the
members were present with tho excep-
ton of the president, DIR. Is. W.. Tay-
lor. and the rev member, Mr.. Glenn.
The board carefully examined the re-
ports as to the population of tho insti-
tuition and find that $50 is the present
average population. Patients have
been admitted for the opening months
of the present year at the rate of about
one day. Thirty-fve were admitted
during tho past month. Numerous
discharges on trial were granted.
The great problem which is the same
as that now troubling the North Caro-
lima institution, is the rapid increase
of the number of white women. When
one of the cottages on the new proper
ty is completed it will supply quarters
for twenty-five white women; the
houses on the new property will give
accommodations for about forty white
women in all, thus relieving the pres
ent crowded condition of the wards.
Fifteen patients were discharged We'd
nesday.
The board was much pleased with
the progress made in the work of en-
closing the recently acquired property.
The old "Asylum road" has been
closed, and now Elmwood avenue is
being closed up. The old historic iron
wall which formerly fronted on Elm
wood avenuo will be removed and
thrown across the avenue where it is
crossed by Bull street. ThG asylum
was founded in 1921 and this wall was
one of the first things erected. The
regents find that there is sad lack of
information about the early history of
the institution and as they are desir-
GUS of getting up an accurate histori-
cal sketch, they ask all who may have
in their possession any pamphlets or
other documents containing such in
formation to send them either to DR..
Taylor or Superintendent Babcock.

MANY BIBLES IN CHINA.
1t Has Been Translated Into More Than
Thirty Chinese Languages and


The Rev. John r.. Hykes, agent Of the
American Bible Society In China, has pre-
pared table showing that the Bible, or parts
thereof. has been translated into more than
thirty Chinese languages and dialects. while
the nu nber Of different versions used in these
translations is almost countless. The Bible
has been printed not only in Chinese charac-
tiers, but In Roman letters as we'll In ono
instance tho phonetic character has been
made use OF and portion of the Scriptures
III characters for the blind has been published
In Mandarin.
The first part OF the Bible to he found IN
the Chinese language was tho New Testa-
ment. translated by the HISTORIANS between
the years 627 and $50. This was probably n
HISTORIAN version. In 1912 copy Of tho
New Testament and Psalms was published in
Mongolian. and n Bible in the same language
was found in China in 1885. a,cor,ling to a
letter written by Pope Benedict NIL
The first translation OF the Scriptures in
the classical language of China was begun in
1871 ny Joanness Lassar, and was completed
In 1903. 1t tcomprised part OF Geuess and
Matthew. The first portion ofthc Scriptures
to be translated and published in Mandarin
was the New Testament in 1855. Mr. Hyke5
mentions 2G8 publications OF tho Scriptures
In the Chinese.

The Amount Not Given Out-The Beer
Supply.
The Board Of Control met in Co
lumbia Thursday. No whisky men
were given hearing, but the board
made all of its purchases for month.
The amounts of purchases from the
different houses or the total amount
bought was not given out, but supplies
were bought from the following: Live
Oak Distilling Company, Cincinnati;
Grabfelder Company, Lexington, Ky ::
Clifton Spring Distillery, Cincinnati;
Lanahan II Company, Baltimore; Old
16 DIstillery, Cincinnati; w. w. John
son, Cincinnati. The latter is new
man in 30 far as Dispensary purchases
are concerned. The beer supply was
bought from the Acme Brew
Ing Company, of Macon, Ga.
Although the board does not give out.
any official information as to the
amount of liquor purchased it may be
pretty safely guessed at about 400 bar,
rels or possibly 450. The supplies
always are less in tho heated months
than during the rest of the year, and O
member of the board stated that the
amount purchased for July was some-
what less than for Juno. For the past
four months the purchases have been
as follows: April, 1900 barrels; May,
6OO; june 500. July would,
naturally be 400 or little over. That
proportion used to run in summer and,
there is no reason to believe that any
thug different is the case now.

offer of q donation for the memorial and con-
veyed to him the universal heartfelt senti.

being constructed In Washington, whereupon
MIR. Rouss withdrew the second proposition,
leaving the selection of n suitable site as we'll
the control Of the memorial, to the commit
tee, and agreed to donate one hundred thou
sand dollars in aid Of the mem rial which
was his first proposition. This was agreea-
Bile to the special committee, and they ad-'
journed. The meeting was held in Mr..

Invited to Suiiivan's island.

Mr.. Albert V. Green, proprietor of
the Atlantic Beach Hotel, Sullivan's
Island, has written letter to. Adj
jutant General Watts inviting the
State militia to hold their encampment
on Sullivan's Island this summer and
promising to make it very pleasant for
them. No doubt that would be the
case, but unfortunately there will be
no encampment this year, or it looks
that way. Several regiments are talk
ing about encampments and the
Laurens people are thinking of having
one and inviting the military to come
to that progressive city, but all these
schemes have not become realities by
any means.

Attention. Christian Citizens.

ga Christian Citizen" writing in
the Southern Presbyterian says: obs
ciples of Jesus in South Carolina, you
are citizens of the kingdom. You arc
citizens also of the United States, and
of South Carolina. Your Christianity
should produce in you the highest pa
triotism. AS n Christian patriot there
are grave dnties devolving upon you.
One of these duties is tho selection of
mon to positions of Office and trust in
the State. This is not n mere matter
of practical politics or of partisauship
or of self-intcrest but of. duty. The
ballot is sacred trust put in your
hands in the providence of Almi ghty
God. 1t is one of the talents commit;
ted to you. God will call you to ac-
count for your use of it. 1t is an act
to be seriously considered and prayed
over by the godly man. We must not
only be honest as Christians and
law abiding as Christians, but we must
vote as Christians. We must do all
that We do for the glory Of God. If
evil men are elected to office by your
vote, or because of your indifference,
you will have to answer for it to the
Lord, who has put it in your power
to help select the officers of State"
