DIES IN MANILA.
James L. Davis of Oxford, AIa.y Passes
Away Suddenly In Philippines.

Anniston December 31.-(Special. Jim
Davis is dead. A cablegram received from
Manila, Philippine Islands, brought the
sad news of his death at his home here
Christmas morning. The news OF his death
caused a pail of gloom to settle over
Oxford, for no other young man had more
friends or was more universally liked
than James L. Davis.
Mr.. Davis was here about two years
ago and married since returning to his
school duties at Manila. He had the splen-
did qualities of a self-made man, and
had gained great distinction as leader
in his profession. Mr.. Davis died of dys-
entary, and while the message did not
state it is probable he was Ill only al
short time. Less than a week ago mem,
bers Of his family here received Christ
mas presents from him sent from his ia
away home, and the news of his deatl
coming so close behind. makes the blow
doubly hard. The bereaved family havel
much sympathy.

partments, with their officers and en-
ployes. .
There are today 1850 patients in the
two hospitals; 134S in the Bryce hospital
and 502 in the Mt. Vernon hospital
There has been about the usual num-
Der of applications, 772 during the past
year. We have declined SO. All dangerous,
offensive or troublesome cases have been
accepted. The crowded condition of the
wards, particularly for the simply de-
pendent class of aments and dement's
who make much the larger I.rt of our
population, necessitates our declining some
of this type, although applications often
reach us, appealing on purely charitable
grounds, for simple paupers. The state
insane hospital is not intended for the
care of harmless pau9ers. like the par
alyzed, the senlle dotards, the idiots and
the imbeciles.
There has. been the quarterly average
at the Bryce hospital of 1867 state pa
tients and at the Mt. Vernon hospital of
sol. At the Bryce hospital there has been
the quarterly average of " paying pa
tients, AT Mt. Vernon there have been only
two paying patients-one has died.
THE per capita cost at the Bryce hos
pital of the average 1889 patients has
been, including all expenditures, s144 Sc;
at the Mt. Vernon hospital s126S1 So
many more paying patients at Tuscaloosa
increases the per capita: also, more wall
liable additions. improvements and fur
nishings are made at that hospital"
