CAUSE OF HUMANITY.


While Franklin spoke for humane treat
ment, in 1850, and Pinel broke the chains
from the insane in Paris in 1712, and
in the same year, and Rush, OF Philadel-
phia showed that insanity was not a
curse but a disease and required build
skilled physicians in charge. the Calls and
Striblng and others in Virginia raised
their voices in behalf of the gentle treat
ment and abolition of harsh and cruel
methods Of restraint. These noble physi-
clans and humanitarians were in advance
of their age, and. while they could not ed
ucate public sentiment up to this high
standard in their day, they all did noble
work for the cause of humanity and the
cause of God, and have impressed their
names and their influence indeiibly upon
psychiatry. We would not in this partial
history ignore or pass over the efforts and
marvellous work of that noble woman.
Miss Dora l.. Dix, whose wonderful influ-
ence in ameliorating the condition of the
insane was felt in Virginia and all over
the South in bringing about these mar
vellous changes.
While all the State hospitals are to-day
endeavoring 10 keep UP these improved
methods in the care and treatment of the
insane, yet straitened finances necessi-
tating lowered per capitaS, have or late
years restricted efforts along many OF
these lines of treatment. Many Of the
means and facilities for inVeStiga ton and
research into neuro and psycho-patsloogy,
enjoyed by many States. have as yet been
unimproved in this State, or at least to
q very limited extent.

MANY of these who devoted their lives

MANY of these who devoted their lives
tn this speciality have gone TO their re-
ward, and time and space would fail me,
even if could do justice to their memory.
When we compare the decades at the be-
ginning and prior to the present century,
when the chara cteristics OF asylums in
many places throughout the word in the
language of another, were chains, dark
ness and stripes, hideous cries and fool or
ders," with the present decade, when so
many of the appliances of health. comfort
and pleasure characterize these institu-
tons with their spacious mansions and
handsome grounds with weil-ventliated,
lighted and heated apartments, with pure
air throughout the premises, and whole
some food in abundant quantity. with the
regular hours for recrea ton. food and rest,
with the needful but mild restraint; Where
added to these the stately trees, the Smlllns
flowers, the sp,ashing fountains, the SHINING
grass adorn the scene, arrest the eye,
and distract attention from the dismal
present and awakenS hope, where the
reading-rocm with its voice from the OUT
er world arouses sympathy with the AMI
mating pursuits of men and stirs the love
of pleasure and ambition; where music,
too, the earliest remedial agent OF lnsan-
ity with its voice OF harmony exercise the
demon Of madness, and last, but not
least, among these curative agencies,
where the place OF divine worship alures
to brighter world, where sorrows cease
When we consider these things which SCI
ence and humanity and Christianity have
brought about, we can but wonder at the
change.

pledge that they would abide
the result of the primary. The
result was in favor of Mr..
Trantham and the executive
committee consequently de-
clared Trantham nominated.
Since that, Mr.. Williams has
published his intention to run
in the general election, claim
ing that he had been unfairly
dealt with.
This is none other than Inde-
pendentism, and we predict that
the voters of Kershaw county
will deal it just such blow as
it deserves, and that Trantham
will be Kershaw's next sheriff.
Any man who will enter a pri-
mary under the pledge required, ,
ana then, IL the result Is against
him, run as an independent,
deserves to be we'll showed

sympathy for independentism
in politics. That has been
abundantly proven in the past.
We have no interest whatever
in either Mr.. Williams or Mr..
Trantham, but we have an in

mocracy, and for that reason
alone we hope to SEQ Mr.. Trant-
ham elected, as he doubtless
will be.

Story of u Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains OF disease is the worst
form OF slavery. George ID. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles Of Elec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work"
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cues nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a god
send to weak, sickly, run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c.

Yesterdays State makes the
following complimentary notices
of three of Lancaster's citizens
"Two quite young men were
seen walking up Main street to
gether yesterday. There was
nothing distins uished in the ap,
pearance of either; both dressed
plainly but it was evident that
they were men of affairs. These
two men reprented perhaps So
100000 capital, and they are w.
B. Smith Whaley of Columbia
and Col. Leroy Springs of Ian
caster.
"Mr. Whaley is president of
the Olympia mill, 81, 100000, and
also of the Richland and the
CRANKY mills and the Columbia
street railway, the aggregate
capital being nearly three and a
half million. Mr.. Springs is him
self president of a million dollar
mill, that at Lancaster, and
though he has no street car line
he owns a narrow gauge railroad
from Lancaster to Chester, and is
interested in many enterprises.
"Mr. T.Yancey Williams, Nom
ber of the house from Lancaster
and very prominent young mar,
is in the city. MIR. Williams has
been asked to run for speaker OF
the house, but he will not let his
name be used as he had already
agreed to support another.
"Another prominent citizen OF
the Red Rose county who IS in
town is Capt. John p. Hunter
Capt. Hunter was United States
marshal for South Carolina under
Cleveland, and has just been
elected sheriff of Lancaster, a po,
sition he had filled with much
credit before he became marshall >

SHOULD BE CHANGED.

An effort is being made to
have the starting place of the
mail route from here to Trades
vile changed so that the mail
shall leave here in the morning
instead of the afternoon. That
will enable subscribers to the
county papers to get their
papers in the forenoon of the
day of publication instead of
waiting till the afternoon or
night for them. This change
should be made, and if the
authorities in Washington were
advised of the advantage of the
proposed plan to the people
along the route, we believe the
change would be made prompt

MARRIAGE OF Mn. GEORGE ".
FOOSHE FORMERLY OF LANCAS-
TER.

From the Evening Scimitar a
Memphis, (Tenn.) } paper, comes
the following account of the
marriage of Mr.. George w.
Fooshe, formerly principal of
the Lancaster Graded school, to
Miss Antoinette Tucker of Mem
phis, Tenn
Before an assemblage which
filled to overhowing the Central
Methodist Church last evening
the marriage vows Of Miss Antoi-
nette Tucker and Geo. Waddell
Fooshe were pledged. The we'd
ding was a beautiful affair, the
minor details having been
arranged with artistic taste and
careful attention. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. j.
G.. Morris, of the First Methodist
Church, assisted by Rev. 4. H .
Mahon, pastor of the Central
Methodist Church.
The decorations in honor of
the occasion were tasteful and
effective. 1t was a goldenrod
wedding, and the stately autumn
nal flower was seen in prOfusion
among the asparagus ferns ana
palms which made the church
attractive. The palms were
banked upon the altar and also
about the chanccl, and the color
scheme was carried out with
festoons Of yellow and white
ribbons.
A. A. Tobias who presided at
the organ, filled the church with
mellow strains of popular love
songs. rs the crowd was being
seated by the ushers The songs
which were played at the re-
quest of the bride were "Just

INDEpENDENTISM IN KERsHAW.

The determination of Sheriff
Williams, of Kershaw county,
to run in the general election is
very unfortunate. After three
efforts to secure the nomination
through that many primaries,
Mr.. Williams should gracefully
yield to the result. In the first
primary he received a small
majority over his opponent, Mr..
Trantham, eight votes, we be-
heve. Mr.. Trantham contested
the election and a second pri-
mary was ordered by the county
executive committee. In that
election Mr.. Trantham came out
about twenty votes ahead. Mr..
Williams then entered protest,
and the third psimary was
ordered, and both candidates
entered the race, under the

because.
Promptly at o'clock the bri-
dal party appeared at the church
entrance. and he soft and SEN
timental strains of love songs
gave way to the glad peal of
Mendelssohn's wedding march,
which was the signal for the
bridal procession to move.
The ushers, Messrs. Thaddeus
Salter and Frank Bell, entered
first, and were followed by the
four little bridesmaids, Misses
Alino Qwinn, Ruth Evalyn Roe
ner, Sylvia Hunt Crawley and
Melissa Morris. Two were
dressed in white and two in yell
low, and each carried bunch
of goldenrod. Tho quartette
was divided in couples, and pro-
ceeded down the aisle to the
chancel railing, where they sep
arated, and mounted the steps
from different sides. They
took their places on tho four
corners of the rostrum, and
formed a fitting foreground for
tho bridal picture.
The groom entered with his
best man, Edward B. Martin,
and awaited at the altar the
coming of his bride and her
maid of honor, Miss Marie Ce-
ella GOrham. When the bri-
dal group was complete DR..
Morris stepped forward and
began the impressive maria ge
ceremony.
The bride was lovely in IN
exquisite gown of embroidered
crepe de chonc, trimmed with
shirred mOusline and applique.
The bridal veil was caught with
diamond sunburst, the gift of
her aunt, and a family hair
loom. In her left hand she cmr-
ricd shower bouquet Of lilies
Of the valley and ferns, which
fell to the bottom of her skirts
III a mass Of beauty. Miss Cor
ham looked charming in a gol-
den yellow organdy over taffeta,
and carried large bouquet of
goldonrod. The scheme of a
golden rod wedding was ap-
parent throughout, even in the
minutest detail.
The strains of because"
hoatod family from the organ
during the ceremony. and at
the conclusion Of the benedic-
ton gave way to 'Lohcngrin ; ,
march, which was played as the
bridal party marched out, and
were driven to the home Of the
bride Oh Madison street, whore
n brief reception was held. The
bridal couple left on the South
orn train for the East, for a trip
Of several wcoks.
The bride is well known in
Memphis, where she has held
the position Of society editor of
the Commercial Appeal nearly
two years. She is a writer of
marked ability, and possesses a
graceful literary finish, which
has made her name known 10
the press outside this city. She
was an indefatigable worker and
a Conscientious correspondent,
and contributed largely to a
number Of the Northern and
Eastern papers. The newspaper
talent is an inheritance. Her
father was a distinguished jour
nalist and her mother a writer
of ease and huency.

none has ever proved so successful.
