Evans on the promise that it was to
be sent to her. She mas not vet re-

rciceived lie child it was very Door
and nearly pcrished. IT is now a
very healthy looking child and very
bright. It's ewes are black and what
hair is on the back Of its head is dark

In confirmation of what Mary
Clarke says as to her desire to secure
Il boy and about the other baby in
the hospital being boy she has re-
ceived the following letter:
"Taylor Lane Hospital and Train
ing School for Nurses Oncorporated)
"M. a. Evans, NJ. d., Medical Di
rector.
"CoIumbia, S. c., April 3, 1908.
I" Mrs. Clarke:
'Iour boy has been taken away by
his mother. SO will nave to be con-
tented with the 2irl. Glad she is do
ing we'll.
"S"mc Of these days we will be
glad to see you.
''ll"piny You all are well
am yours truly,
"M. y. Evans.'
She stated thai she had also recciv-
ed one or two other letters but they
were at the house Of her daughter and
der daughter was away from home
and the other letters could not be
found. The other letters, however,
stated, 5" she says, nothing Of import
ancc except to make inquiry as to
how The child was ycttin" on.
Mary wanted to know Of her visit
"rS II there WAS any way by which
she could Get pay for caring for and
rearing the chiid. Though she made no
explanation Of why Sile took it with
out the promise Of any assistance.
She says that she i yung tn keep it
and do ;hc bcS, she can for it and
she seems I" be 9iviu" it plenty nr
n"urSllmrnt as the child is fat and
chubby and wcll-grown for Il baby Of
five months.
she claims that it was born. so it
was stated to her, on Thanksgiving
day Of last year, but she did not
know and was not told who the moth
en- Of the child is. The information
as to the birth was given her by the
Taylor Lane Hospital.
1t is little remarkable that an
infant i'll hospital in Columbia,
should be sent out in the country in
Newherry. Whether other nurses Of
the institution are hunting homes for
homeless babies might be proper
subject Of inquiry.
Mary's people stated today that
Rev. r. b. Bibbs, negro preacher
at Cross Hill. had an infant which he
secured from this institution in Co.
lumbia and it was also stated. not as
a Fact, however. but as Il rumor that
another party near Gary'S in this
county. ais" had an infant from this
same institution.
These rrc the facts as they were
gathered yesterday and as there Is
possible donbt as to whether or not
this is ii white child but every reason
10 believe that it is, it is thought pro-
per to publish the facts.
Mary Clarke says that she and her
Son-in-law, Nccl Martin. went to Co.
lumbia on the morning freight on the
e.. \. & H., and, as stated, she spent
the night at the hospital The baby
which was brought home with her
the next morning was brought to her
room by Matte Shell. the woman who
is Studyin" to be trained nurse and
through whom and her sister. Ida An
drcwS. Mary received the information
that she could secure a child. She, as
stated. left for her nome at Gary's
next morning bringing the baby with
her and she has had it in her charge
since.
