NEGRO INSANITY INCREASING.
Alarming Increase OF MRlady In
south Carolina Attributed TO Use
OF Alcohol and Drugs.

Physicians In South Carolina are
greatly concerned over what they be-
hsve to be the alarming increase Of
insanity among negroes. Years ago
this disease was almost unknown to
the colored population, but 1t appears
TO be spreading. According to esti-
tendent OF the state hunatic asylum.
this condition now Is worse than ever
before.
Many reason are assigned. but Il IL

the common use OF drugs and bad
whisky is in 3 large measure RESPONSE

negro was such n rare occurrence that
IL attracted universal attention. Now
adays such an occurrence Is unno.
ticed.
There is probably more insane ne
groes in the state institution at Co
lumbiA than al any other time In its
history. They are sent in from all
sections OF South Carolina, the ma
jority going from towns and cities.
In Charleston crazy negroes are picked
up almost every day, and while many
OF them are released after brief term
in the hospital, a considerable mum
Der develop such violent symptoms
that it is found necessary to ship them
TO Columbia. 1t is seldom that the
asylum negroes are cured, and many
OF them die after violent suffering.
The state authorities give the colored
people the most humane treatment.
yet 1T does not seem possible wholly
to restore their minds
One of the oldest physicians OF
Charleston told the Sun correspond-
emit recently that in the days of slav-
cry it was most uncommon to find
an insane negro. The spread of the
disease he attributes to rough living
liquor and drugs. Along the coast the
negroes are addicted to the use OF
opiates, cocaine being the drug which
is most commonly used. Among the
thousands of vicious negroes who work
in the rock fields, opium is a popular
drug, and almost any form of 'shop"

full lacerated by continued labs from
hypodermic syringe.
The bad liquor is sold in the blind
tigers. The police here believe that
Bill Simmons, negro who killed his
wife and then attempted suicide sew
eral days ago, was a victim of cocaine.
He had been using the drug steadily
for days, and while under it's influence
he drank pint of corn whisky, which
made him maniac for the time be-
ing.
Usually, when a crime OF this kind Ia
committed, the first impulse of the
negro Is to escape. Simmons did not
move. He turned the pistol 20 his
head and fired and was still trying
to put bullets in his body when the
weapon was seized by bystanders.-N.

HAS HUMOROUS SIDE.
Charity Work Sometimes Calls Forth
Laughter or Smiles.
A Case of Pride and Coal Reported
from New York-A Happy Re-
conciliatson How Mike
Wanted to BE Helped

How flexible and adaptable in Its
methods and how difficult to reduce to
fast rules and principles the work of
great charity is, is illustrated by
few typical anecdotes which have
been prepared by the Association for
Improving the Condition of the Poor.
The following are reported by the New
York Post:
Two sisters, unusually large, power
full women, applied for coal. When Wis
tied they admitted that they had
plenty of work, but some neighbor had
got it," end they wanted some, too.
Seeing that there was not the shadow
of an excuse for their asking for the
coal, the visitor began to explain why
they should not have it given TO them,
appealing to their pride. when, in re-
ply, one of them shrieked at her:
Pride, did you say? Well, III tell
you what, miss; you can have the pride
and Wen take the coal"
Visits of investigation frequently
result in lasting good to the benefi-
Charles, as in the case of a woman who
asked for sewing to do at home, be-
cause it was difficult for her 10 go out.
1t was found that this difficulty" was
caused by the lack of a thick-soled
boot, one leg having been shortened
through a fracture which she had sus-
tanned several years ago. 1t was de-
cided at once to supply this need, but
a visit was first made to her "only rela-
tive" sister, to see if she was in a
position to help. She, too, was poor,
but it was learned from her that there
was a brother somewhere in the city
with whom they were not on good
terms, and whom the sisters had not
seen for years. Through the city
directory he was traced and found to
be in comfortable circumstances.

o'clock in the morning. did not
care TO take refuge with my neigh
bors, as did not want them TO know
of his behavior. AT about Ave o'clock
IN the morning he came out and said
l could come in the house.
"For the year and half that we
were in my fathers house, from No
vember, 1898, until October, 1900, when
left him, Mr.. Rice did nothing to
maintain the house. 1 constantly sat
up with him all night, and his con-
duct was as barbarously cruel as be-
fore.
II got worried because he did not
come home one night, and slipped
downstairs in my nightgown to look
for him, and found him in the ham
mock on the porch. He jumped up
quickly and ran into the house and
locked all the doors. remained
there in my nightgown for an hour.
Then l rang the bell. He opened
the door, apparently thinking it was
some one else. and 1 slipped in. It
was about one o'clock in the morn
ing.
He would get violent at meals.
Sometimes he would fling all the
dishes and food on the floor.
He was constantly trying to ag-
gravate me, and if he knew 1 was
fond of an ornament or piece of fur
niture he would smash it and then
say: Now, are you angry?' He

one lockwood and an old colonial
chair in that way. My composure al
ways aggravated him, and one night
he said with an awful oath: i will
make you mad And he poured a
quart bottle of whisky down my neck
and in my hair. If he found me read
ing book he would snatch it from
me and tear it TO bits. He used to
kick me out of bed, and several times
forced me to sleep on the floor.
while in my fathers house at
Edgewater, n. J., Mr.. Rice drank two
quarts of whisky q day, and took
one with him to bed and drank it be-
fore he got up in the morning. One
night in October, 1900, he kept me
wandering all night from one room
to another trying to escape him. He
pulled me out of every bed / got into
and threatened to throw me out OF
the window. He said il 1 locked q
door he would break it down. As he
once broke a screen door in a fit OF
anger, L knew this was true. He end

and sore all over my body."-N. Y,
