Mr.. Lyons Statement.

at is my desire TO call the attention OF the
people O; South Carolina 10 some facts reat-

ferred agalnst m Q by those who are political

then be answered fully. Besides, prefer 10

personal friction on the stump.
AS 10 the charge that / have received
"double pay" for services rendered The State,
will say that no double pay" has ever been
asked or received by me. l was paid the

provided by law for my services as a men,

Letter From Senator Hay.
Hon. ]. Fraser Lyon, Charleston,S. S. c.
My Dear Sir: In reference to this talk about
members of the dispensary Investigating
committee bavipg received "double pay" !
will say: No member has received double
pay" for any services. During the last ses.
sion of the Legislature much work was don
by some members of the committee. The
duties Of those members as members oi the
Legislature were not interferred with. They
did their full duty 10 the session. But some
OF them did more In trying TO discharge
duties imposed upon them by the General
Assembly, which duties had no connection
with the business OF the session, and which
seemed to be imperatiyely demanded, and
which had TO be performed at some time and
paid for as provided by the law nnder which
the committee was acting. In doing this
work those members of the committee who
did anything did, not spare themselves by
any considerations OF time, comfort or
health. They had not a minute they could
call their own-scaroely taking time to eat
or sleep. The resolution under which they
were working provided pay for these ser
vices.

TwIcE within few days Washington

TWICE within "a few days Washington |
has been the scene of a convention that |
has made tuberculosis the theme of it, |
discussion. The tuberculosis Congress |
of course dealt solely with that disease.
But the conference Of delegates from
the state board of health that mot there
last week also made tuberculosis the
primary subject of their discussion
This widespread interest does not mean
that the Great White Plague is becoming
any more prevalent but it does mean
that IT is being better understood and
now that the physicians know how that
IT may be comhatted, they think it more
worth while to call the attention of the
public to it. When the statement OF
one doctor was taken into consideration,
that 10 out OF every 100 persons in the
United States are destined sooner OF
or later TO contract the disease this
sohcitude is easily understood.
Yet, according to- all the statements
and there is seldom such unison in med
ical statements, the disease which Is un-
questionably the greatest danger that
the country has TO deal with, is not con
tagious, though it is infectious and it
could be easily controllt if the public
were more awake to its real nature
This was the burden of the address made
by President Lewis 10 the Conference OF
the State Health Officers. He pointed
out TO them that the results Of treatment
of consumptives III sanatoria has been
very gratifying. But he said that on the
principle of an ounce of prevention being
worth a pound of cure, il would be much
better, easier and cheaper to prevent
consumption than TO cure it. Then he
pointed out HE plan for an educational
campaign. He showed just how much
the service of a good lecturer would cost,
his travelling expenses, the cost of adj.
vertlslng and of postage and clerical
work. In fact he talked OF the subject
as though he We're n trained impreSsario.
de said 1t would cost n state 81 500 to put
such man in the field and keep him
there a year. Then he showed that the
cost of even running small consumptive
sanatarium was 5000 year, and he
drew frem the conclusion that five such
lecturers could be put into the field and
IN the course of a year cover any state
In the Union. This would be at no great
er expense than a sanataI ium that would
treat at the most not over 200 people.
He said that such n course of education
would not wipe out consumption but
would go along way toward checking it,,
for it would show the people how 20
combat the disease and would prevent
thousands of points III every large city
from becoming the foci of contagion.
The recommendations of DIR. Lewis have
at least the ing of common sense to
them, and from an economical stand
point ought to commend themselves to
every state legislature.
