Pay Patients Must Go, and No
More InebriateS Will Be Adj
mitted to the Institution
Directors Will Take
This Action.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Governor Aycock has taken up
the insane asylum problem, and yes
terday he announced that he thought
the corgested condition of the insti-
tuition in this city would be relieved
within the next month, and that all
acute cases of insanity in this dis
trict will then be cared for and treat
ed as they deserve to be.
In his efforts to bring this about,
the Governor has had the co-opera-
ton of Superintendent Mckee and
his board-all of them patriotic
men, anxious to SO conduct the in
stitution as to be the greatest pos
s.ble benefit to the people of the
| district.
It is understood that the board
will make room for the INDECENT
INSANE, which the State constitu-
ton says SHALL BE CARED FOR
AT THE CHARGE OF THE
Estate, by notifying pay PATIENTS
that they must seek Accommodations
elsewhere, and by declining in fu
ture to receive inebriates at all
Likewise, if it becomes necessary,
idiots will be excluded.
Though the constitution says that
sit shall be the duty of the Legisla
ture, as oon as practicable, to de-
wise means for the education Of
idiots and inebriates," but evidently
it was never the intention of the
trainers of that instrument, or Of thu
founders of the asylum; that the,
should be cared for, to the exclusion
of those for whom the institution
was especially intended.
Ifnow, the Governor will secure
like policy in the management of til
Morganton asylum, the congestion
of that institution Can likewise b.
relieved and the insane in the west
ern district be cared for there, in
stead of being confined in the jail
and poor houses, as many of then
now are.
