1T becomes my duty now to report
that during the past year the average
number Of patients has been S~lxty-one,
and of his number we have been COM
PEELED to confine thirteen each night in
prison cells. ElSHl ySdlS SApSliOhoC
in the service of the Prison have but
strengthened my conviction that 1t
was a mistake to make this hospital
in fact a department of the Prison.
THE Hospital for the Dangerous
Insane must receive and treat patients
of both races and both sexes. This
requires the maintenance of four sep
arate departments and the utmost
vigilance and care. OF the part OF the
management and attendants to V
wrong-dOing and scandal.
THE cost of maintaining the lnstl-
tuition during the past fiscal year has
been $5,76S.56.
Il am glad to be able to report the
department in good physical condition.
If the hOpsital is to remain as at
present coated and the management
expected to receive all who may be
committed to it's care, even If neces-
sary to consign them to cells for safe
keeping, then it will be necessary to
ask for an appropriation of $500 Per
annum instead of $4,000 as heretofore.
But an appropriation ~Of $4,000 per

The n. & S. railroad will on Janu-
airy 10th put on two trains each way
on the P. o. w. branch, running to
Oriental, One will be a mixed train
while the other Will be passenger
only. There is much travel on this
branch and the extra. train has been
needed for some time. A strong ef-
fort is also being made to get the n.

ington-Raleigh train on to New Bern.
A petition, signed by about all the
business men of the city. was sent i'll
last week asking for the of

On next Monday night a Mer-

and plans are On foot to organize a
strong Chamber Of Commerce. For
some years no organization of the
business men has existed here EXCEPT

advantages have not been advertised

seems that the matter is to be taken
up in earnest and that something

Augusta. Ga, Dec. 31.-Beyond the
remark that the withdrawal of Chas.
p. Taft from the Senatorial contest
in Ohio. in favor of Representative
Theodore Burton was a move in the
interest of party harmony, President
elect Taft would say nothing on the
subject. 1t was, he said, a matter re-

should naturally come from his broth
or Charles.
Another conference was held today
at the Taft cottage on the subject Of

National Business Mems League of
New York, who reached here today,
was. one of the conferees, while
Messrs. Taft, Hammond and Hitch
were the others.
This statement was dictated by Mr..
Taft in the presence Of the conferees
and is given to the public as showing

evening. The prima donna has a
most beautiful voice. and with her ra-
diant appearance. added much to the
pleasure of this notable musical event
AS only comparatively few cities are
able to secure the diva for concert and
recital, Richmond should consider her
self especially favored. The pro-
gram selected for last evening. was a
most excellent one. 1t is hard to tell
which number was the most pleasing.
as she received several encores. how
ever when she sang "Phillis HATH
Such Charming Graces." the audience
was simply captivated. This selection
was in the first group of old English
and French songs, the encore to this
group being Schubert's "Erl King.
At the close of the second group Ma
dam Gadski sang in response to an
applause, The Years at the Spring"
This was given with wonderful dramat-
ic ability. When she sang Meadow
ellis The Swan Bent Low" she was
greeted with repeated applause ami
