INSTITUTIONS WILL FIGHT THE
CHARGES BROUGHT. BY THE
PRoeERS. II

CHAR1 EsToN, Feb. 1S.-Dr. s. N.
Steele, director. Q. w. Q. Hardman
aud other persons Interested In the
management Of the Weston insane asy.
lum. are In town and take vigorous
exceptions to the report of the special
Investigating committee which declar-
ed the bedding OF the institution to be
infested with vermin. Dr.. Steele says
that those conditions might have exist.
ed when the committee visited the In
stitutlon, but that they have since
been remedied.
Friends Of State Geologist I. G.
White also are up In arms because
the report intlmates that an official
Serving the State without compen.
sation cannot be expected to be wholly
immune to certain Influences this be.
Ing an lntimation that he gave out
information to mineral magnates in
advance to giving It to the public.
Whites friends declare that the COM
mittee never called him before It and
gave him no hearing whatever on that
charge, which they say Is an ancient
one circulated for years by enemies Of
the geological survey. j.
Dr.. j. T. Rucker. superintendent OF
the deaf. dumb and blind school,
whose removal Is recommended, has
also arrived on the scene and says he
Is prepared to combat the charges
against him, successfully. Other per.
sons mentioned In various uncompll.
mentary ways in the report have sent
word they are coming to Charleston
and the outlook is for some caloriflc
times. ,5 u. - ~ ! FVHaNql
The general concensus OF opinion
Is. however. that the report Is an ex.
cellent one, particularly that portion
which shows that an average Of $780,.
400 a year OF the State money Is
banked without interest, often by in.
stitutlon treasurers who are bankers
themselves and put the money In
their own banks and charge the State
a commission for their services. How.
ever. since the visit OF the committee
most OF this money is now drawing
interest though only pt two per cent,
which Is one per cent. less than the
State treasurer receives.
The committee recommends the dis,
charge Of twenty.three treasurers and
the handling Of all money through the
State treasury. Tomorrow the house
Will probably refer to the governor
the portions Of the report refecting
upon Dr.. Rucker and all other sections
OF It which suggest the necessity for
a change In management Of State In
stItutions. Such action would be a
polite formal invitation to the gov
70 . ..a
ernor to get busy in behalf Of the
Investigating line. Such action. how.
ever, Is hardly necessary as the gov.
ernor has already taken personal cog.
nizance OF charges made.

M0ST IMP0RTAMT

The year 1909 IS destined to figure
as an important one in history. What
a twelvemonth it has been. and how
great its manifold wonders of happen
ing and accomplishments: Flying a
certainty; the North Pole discovered;
Turkey reformed, Persia reformed;
England's ideas of the ethics of taxa
ton upset; India FESTIVE; China sub
jected to a mass of new Impressions;
Belgium passing under new and, 1t
Is to be hoped, more benefcent rule;
events now in progress in Nicaragua
that may lead to a further extension
OF civilization and peace; the distance
across the Atlantic further shortened;
the distance across our own country
about to be decreased; wireless teleg-
raphy entering into the realm of com
mon utility; efforts now being made
for the better protection of life in
mines and on the great waters. II
the cave man lived to-day he could
hardly repeat his now famous declara-
ton, Romance is dead" BY science,
contrary to many fears, wonder and
mystery have been increased.
The veal 1909 is associated with
events of supreme interest and impor-
lance at home and abroad. A glance
at this summary will recall them to
mind, and preserved for future refer
ence it will be found a valuable aid

Prise for Tabercu1o.i. Cure.

Yale University has become the GUS
todian of a prize of 100000, the namet'
of the donor remaining a secret, butt,
known to be an alumnus of Yale, which
is to be given to the person who first
discovers a cure for tuberculosis. The
trustees have invited many well known
physicians to become members of a
board whose duty it will be to pass on
the merits of cures submitted. The in
terest on h money win be used in in
v~estigating such cures and to pay the
expenses of quarterly meetings of the
Advisory Board. To prevent the con-
sideration of bogus remedies, one CON-
dition is that any remedy to be CON-
sidered must, have been in use FIVE
years and. backed up by testimonials
that it has resulted in cures. The OBJ
ject of the prize is to the
seeking of a cure.
