AID when they were asked for COM
mitmcnt papers they frankly stated
that they had not gotten them and
had no such papers. They promised
to get them, but it required two ply
slams to sign the papers. Only one
had seen the girl, and the papers have
not been signed, and DR.. Babcock has
made repeated efforts to have the pa
pers made up. This young woman
would eat nothing for days and weeks
and months. For five long months
she had to be fed with a stomach tube
and now she is getting better and he
hopes that she will be entirely restor-
ed to health. According to the strict
laws, he should not have accepted this
young lady patient. There may be
criticism of him for it, but he inform
ed the committee that if any one was
to be blamed for such things it was
all on his shoulder, but more especial
" on his heart, and that as long as he
was in charge Of the institution he
would continue to do what he thought
was best for suffering humanity, and
what his heart told him to be right,
whether the official red tape had been
properly tied or not.
The testimony of DR.. Babcock was
more or less disconnected, because the
committee wished to have lis views
on the "charges, and took these up
one by one. AS to recommendations
and important improvements pre-
viously outlined by DR.. Babcock, he
was asked to reduce these to writing
and submit them to the board with
in thirty days after the adjournment

regents are also expected to file any

tions and recommendations looking to
the good of the institution. DR.. j..

and he was eager to give his views.
He did SO with modesty and IN an
even temper. Only once did he show
anv feeling and that was when the
suggestion was made that perhaps the
authorities were not altogether or
thodox in their rules as to admitting
patients. DR.. Babcock showed and IN
sisted that no patient was admitted
except upon the certificate OF two
physicians and the judge Of probate,
except in desperate and pressing cas-

SUMTER LAWYER SUICIDES.
Mai. H. Frank Wilson Commits
S1icide IN tho Court House.

Sumter, May 19-This city was
shocked and saddened today by the
sudden and tragic death Of Major Fl.
Frank Wilson, about $50 O'Clock this
morning.
Soon after he had entered his office
in the court house building this morn
ING. and while his aged father was
reading the morning paper, Major
Wilson entered the vault room. clos
inc the door behind him. In few
minutes a shot was heard in the vault
and when the door was opened, Major
Wilson was found lying on the floor
dead. with pistol wound in his right
temple and his pistol lying near. 1t
seems to have been a very deliberate
case of suicide, many facts now being
recalled. which point to this theory.
Major Wilson had been in i'll health
for several years, and this IS suppos-
ed to have caused the rash act.
Major Wilson was a prominent
member Of the Sumter bar, having
been a member since 1881. For the
past ten years he has held the office
of Master in Equity, which position
he has filled ably and has rendered
many important decisions. He was a
prominent Mason and Knight Of Py-
thias. He was a courteous, high ton
ed gentleman, of the old school, un-
usually we'll read and a polished ora
tor. Ever kind and thoughtful of 9TH
ers, he was loved by all who knew
him, and his tragic death, but adds
to the sorrow Of his host Of friends.
Major Wilson was 55 years of age,
and is survived by his aged father,
Mr.. B. F. Wilson, of Mayesville, three
brothers and three sisters. His wife,
who was Miss Georgia Law, of Sa-
vannah, died less than year ago.
Funeral services will be held at the
Presbyterian church at IL O'Clock
Thursday morning.
