Medical circles are much stirred up
over the report that Assistant Attor.
ney General Ross is preparing an opin-
ion in which he will hold that osteo.
paths, magnetic healers, Christian
scientists and some others may prac.
tice without passing the examination
and procuring a license under the law
OF 1901. The bill which passed the
Legislature in 1901 regulating the
practice OF medicine and surgery wsa
vetoed by the late Governor Rogers on
the ground that it would prevent the
practice of osteopathy in this State.
The Legislature passed the bill over
his veto. however, and it now seems,
from the highest authority in the
State outside the courts, that the
fears of the Governor and the appar.
ent wishes of the trainers OF the bill
will not he realized. 1t is stated that

Gen. Wade Hampton.

A Columbia, S. c., dispatch of the
l1th inst. announces the death of q
prominent figure in the political and
military history of the government.
Gen. Hampton had just passed his
SD birthday. A month ago he had a
severe attack, and his children were
called to his bedside, but he rallied
and a week fortnight ago was out
riding. But he stuff. red relapse and
his once vigorous constitution rapidly
gave way to a general breakdown,
doubtless from age.
Gen. Hampton was born at Column
bia, S. c., in 1918. He studied law,
but never graduated, devoting his at
tention to managing his plantations
in South Carolina and Mississippi.
He was a member of the South Caro-.
lima Legislature before the war and
made notable speech against reopen
ing the slave trade. He enlisted at
the beginning of the Civil war as a
private, but soon after raised com.
mand of infantry, cavalry and artillery
as Hampton's Legion. at Bull Run,
in the Peninsula campaign, and many
Others, especially at Gettysburg. He
became Major General Aug. 3, 1868.
He checked Sheridan at Trevillian' =
Station, 1864; was made commander
OF Lees division in August. 1864, with
rank of Lieutenant General; later was
detached to command Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston's cavalry. He was several
times wounded. After the war he re-
turned to his cotton plantations. He
was elected Governor Of South Caro-.
lima in 1877 and from 1879 to 1891
was United States Senator. In politi-
ca affiliations he was that party para
dox known as gold Democrat.

tie Thinks the People Have Right to Know
for What Cause Capitol Construction Is De-
layed-He Demands an Explanation for the
Remissness Of Sworn Officers Explanations
from all Concerned Are in Order.
ED. STANDARD:
do not want to be considered cur
ious, do not want to ask impairment
questions, but in common with every
other taxpayer in the State, l think l
have a right to be anxious to have the
proper authorities explain why this
unreasonable delay in the constrnc-
ton Of the annex to our State capitol.
While this delay is no more my bust
ness than it is of every other taxpayer,
it is just as much; hence the ques-
ton. / know it is no more my con-
Germ than it is the concern of any and
all citizens of the State. All have
contributed and all are alike interested,
and are entitled to prompt and
straightforward answer or explanation
Of this delay. The people of the
whole State have done their part.
They passed the law, the courts have
held the law valid, the securities
have been tioated, the money placed
in the Treasury. With this money
a house was To be built, where the
public business might be properly
transacted, where the archives of the
State might be kept preserved secure
and safe. The people are asking why
their wishes have not been respected.
They have a right to know what has
been, or what is being done, with
their money. They have a right to
demand an explanation from their
public servants. 1t is meet, it is
proper and pertinent, to ask these
questions, and it is the duty of their
servants to answer. They are entitled
to frank, prompt and direct re-
ply. They only know the work is
not being done. They have no means
of finding out the reason for delay,
save through their paid servants
hence they of right think that the
men who have taken an oath to do
their duty and perform this service,
should inform them. The reasons
for the speedy erection of the building
require no recapitulation here or
elsewhere. The dispatch of the pub
lie business, the crying urgency of at
least a habitable place for the meet
ing OF the Legislature demand prompt
action.
l notice few days ago that the peo-
pie of the State paid the interest on
the money they borrowed to erect and
pay for this annex, $l7, 800 for an an
mex that is not being built. Is it not
about a year since this contract was
let, and yet scarcely anything has been
done? l do not condemn anyone.
l do not know who is to blame, who
is at fault. 1 only know the annex is
not being built. There has been no
"act of God" to prevent ito cause
this delay. What is it's it the act OF
the devil?
Let those who are responsible for
this failure rise and explain. Is it not
about time there was an accounting
between the sovereigns and the SER
wants? Is it not about time that the
sworn officers of the law should in
their official capacity give an official
explanation to their employers, their
mas,ers-the whole people OF the State
why their commands have been dis.
regarded? II not, why not!

Business in Burrows.

The advent of the automobile has
further complicated the degree OF risk
run By pedestrians in large cities, like
New York, where the main streets are
Il ceaseless surging tide of humanity
at all hours of the day, and where the
slightest lapse of vigilance is likely to
result in injury. 1t is eminently
everybody for himself, for those who
pass into the crowd, with almost q
certainty that the remainder of the
expression will find verification in the
devil taking the hindmost. AS is
known to most people, New York has
been doing business many years in
fifteen and twenty story buildings, and
conducting traffic under ground, on
the street grade and overhead, by sub
ways, surface cars and the elevated
railways, but it has never been sug.
gested that either the former or the
last artery of trade should be thrown
open to pedestrians, as means of re-
lieying the congestion on the princi-
pal streets.
Various plans have been suggested.
One is to construct spacious arcade,
wide enough for ample sidewalks, be-
tween which cars may run for both
passengers and freight. A moving
sidewalk ia another scheme which has
its advocates, but probably better
suggestion is in providing light wood
or wicker cars, designed for one per-
son, which will make their transit sus.
pended on a trolley somewhat after
the style of the cash cars in retail
stores. They would be operated by
the passenger, and hired from the
company who own them at an hourly
rental. This is quite as popular as to
allow the patrons to walk, for by this
means they can stop at any point
along the way, and it is part of the
plan to have elegantly furnished shop
fronts and show windows, to attract
custom. Almost any kind OF business
could be adapted to the subway, and
it would seem to be an ideal rendez-
vous in inclement or sloppy weather.

Every Why Hath a Wherefore.

The questions propounded by
"Querist," in another column are
timely and pertinent. There is a pal
pable necessity for an explanation
that will clear those who may be inno-
cent of neglect, or of wilful delay, as
we'll as to fix the blame upon the men
who may be guilty OF neglect, and are
paid for services they do not perform.
The blame for delay so far, on the
capitol annex, has been placed upon
the shoulders of Contractor Goss, and
it is by no means improbable that he
is the prime factor, if not the sole
cause Of delay. His log rolling of an
$4,000 appropriation from the State
Treasury, for alleged damages in
award OF the previous contract for
capitol construction. on which he
never lifted hand by way Of COM
mencement, has established the belief
that his present contract may partake
OF the nature OF that transaction, very
generally regarded as a deliberate
"graft," and that the damage Gf there
was any at all) was in disappointment
over the loss of profits that were never
earned; profits he was no more en-
titled to than might be the victim of
the deadly sidewalk who scratches a
knee from an alleged misplaced board
and is accorded precisely that mystic
series Of figures $4,000, not for the
wound, evidently, but for the mental
anguish endured, presumably.
But, then, Mr. Goss is entitled to
fair play. irrespective OF the fact that
his lobbing system may have favored
somewhat of that of a bunco-sharp.
He claims that Architect Richie
made the plans-purposely or from in.
competency-so vague that there was
no certainty as to the exact compost.
ton Of some essential materials of
construction. He thinks that there
was a reasonable ground for belief that
the truss supporting the roof might be
built of wood instead of iron, and there
are other details which he thinks were
capable of several interpretations.
Now it seems that, after work has
been suspended from some cause, or
may be number of causes, that this
allegation should be met and answered
by the architect. A failure to answer
for an act attended by such grave con-
cumstances, will be construed into a
virtual acknowledgment of response.
bility. So we want, and the public is
entitled to, reply from Mr.. Richie,
or the responsibility passes to the
Commission, who were appointed to
see that the law is faithfully enforced
aud fully carried out in detail.
If there is anybody else who is to
blame for incompetency or neglect, il
is the duty of the Commission to
"smoke him out" The time for pa.
tient endurance of perversion, or ignor.
ing. OF legal mandate, has passed, and
we join with our stalwkrt "Querist" in
the demand for some explanation.
These shortcomings have been so long
and so patiently borne, without pro-
test, that We marvel at the equ animity
of our people.
