The indications at this time
point to high water, the rivers and
basins are all full, the swamps are
full, and lots of water is coming,
the danger line is reached in seve-
raj places, which means that we
can reasonably expect more water,
and our people living in the low
sections of this parish should pre-
pare for the overflow. which is al
most sure to come, to disturb the
planting interest that had expan-
ded almost over all the low lands
of this parish.
The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1903-03-07

The present system of working
the roads of the parish. wo be-
lieve, is a failure, if we are to
judge by the numerous complaints
that are made by the people from
the different sections of the pa
rish. We learn that quite large
amount of money was spent dur
ing the. past year, for road purpo-
ses, and nothing was done, it looks
as if the members of the. Police
Jury pay too easily large sums OF
money for Insignificant work. Un-
der the present system there is no
one who has an interest to see that
fair prices be paid for certain
works, we believe all work done
for the parish is over paid, and a
check on this system should be
put. We believe road overseer
should be appointed for each ward,
at reasonable salary, and that a
committee of citizens in each ward
should be appointed by the tax
payers to see that the work is pro-
perly done, and that no fancy pri-
ces be paid for a piece of bad
work. There is lots of room fol-
Improvement upon our road sys-
TEN, and the tax payers should
take some interest in this matter
which is of the greatest importance
to them.

that patients are habituaily mistreated

Thursday afternoon by Burnett Mar

proof Representative jerks, who has

Do you believe any good will result
from this investigation %
Yes, think the investigation is a
good thing It pays to inquire into al
most anything of this sort occasionally.
I imagine if an investigation of this
committee were started, the members
would behave too. Even an investiga-
ton of the legislature might do good.
That applies to the majority side,

CONTRADICTS MISS KNOX.
Mrs e. A. COnant of Oskaloosa teS-
tified before the board exactly opposite
to the testimony of Miss Tella Knox.
When Mrs. Conant was an attendant
in the asylum her name was Miss Gear,
stated had taken the clothing from
Miss Emma Nelson, d patient, and had
whipped her with a strap.
Miss Knox is mistaken said Mrs.
Conant emphatically when Miss KnON'5
statement was told her. i never had
any trouble with Miss Nelson. Miss
Knox was afraid of Miss Nelson and
would be frightened and cali for me
whenever Miss Nelson ran towards her.
Miss Nelson had a way of running up
to a person suddenly. 1t was because
she would not keep off the floor ana
annoyed the other patients that she was
removed to the violent ward.
The only time I ever heard of any
strapping was that once when 1 was
off duty Miss Knox herself had strap
ped Miss Nelson. I was not mixed up
in it. and nothing of the kind ever oc-

g. II. Mitchell inside night watch at
the asylum, testified that two attend
ants had abused a patient, the same as
had been told earlier in the investiga-
ton. Both of these attendants had been
discharged.
The most important information Sc
cured from Mr.. Mitchell was that it is
necessary to lock as many as four pat
tents in a room together at night in
some instances, on account OF the
crowded condition of the asylums, and
that occasionally one of the patients be-
comes violent and gets into a fight with
the others. He told Of instances Of his

Il remember the case of a painter
named Dickinson, who used to be out

"Since I have mentioned the subject
of politics. Mason went on to explain.
I would say that the institution is not
altogether political. If a good man who
belongs to other than the dominant
party should apply for a job 1 believe
he would get it, notwithstanding his
politics If the wages were sufficient to
attract good men, I think the institu-

Did the attendants ever hit the pa
tents with their fists2''
Yes. or if it would hurt their fists too
much they would take a club l have
heard that in the women's wards they
would take a wet towel and choke the
patients, but 1 never saw anything of
that kind.
The instances of brutality which
Mason especially objected to were those
which were entirely Wanton-where the
patients were unoffending In telling
of these instances he said:
I had been fixing a light in one of
the wards of the detached building
when one of the attendants called to
me and said that he had something
funny to show me. I went down and
they had an old man who had gone in
sane from the bite of a dog. He was
strapped to a bench and the attendants
were amusing themselves by striking
blow he would growl and snap like q
dog. They told me that he would some
times froth at the mouth, but this he
did not do the day I saw him."
KICKED A PATIENT
Mason also told of a big negro whom
the attendants would strike on the
head just TO show how much he could
stand. Another instance was when an
attendant Gibson kicked a patient for
trying to go through a door out of his
ward. Superintendent Biddle saw this
and gave the. attendant % demerit
marks. At another time an attendant
threw an egg at patient and struck
the patient on the head
DO you remember any other
abuses?" Mason was finally asked.
