MISS McCLINTOCK'S ADDRESS.
She Spoke In Florence of The Need
Of a State Board of Charities
And Corrections.

At the second annual session of the
State convention of charities and cor
rections, held in Florence, last week,
the News and Courier correspondent
says that Miss Euphennia McCintock,
president of the Presbyterian College
for Women, Of Columbia, addressed
the conference upon the need of a
State board Of charities In South Car
olina. The creation of such a board
was one of the matters endorsed by
the conference In 1909, and the bill
which was introduced was favorably
reported upon by committees in both
house and senate, but was later
smothered before enactment into law.
Miss McClintock reviewed in detail
the various charitable institutions Of
the State. Each with a separate and
Independent board, and with excellent
records, directing attention especial
ly to the county aims houses and jails.
Miss McClintock then spoke with
great earnestness upon the needs of
these institutions and their inmates.
Out of 7S6 inmates of the poor houses
of South aCrolina over 400 are white.
Proper attention to the inmates is i'm
possible under the conditions imposed
upon those in charge. The grand jury
reports upon these institutions are
stereotyped and no adequate provis-
ion is made for investigation or re-
lief. The jail conditions are the same
Ill prisoners cannot possibly be at
tended to at the per diem allotted.
Children detained for trial are kept
with hardened offenders, and often
with those OF another color. The ac-
commodations for women criminals
are grossly Inadequate. The condi-
tions in the jai1s are those which man
ufacture criminals.
Miss McClintock considered the
question of the convict camps and the
deplorable conditions there existing.
Her final conclusion was that with the
disorganized supervision of the chari-
table and correctional institutions OF
THE. counties the results were not so
good as could have been obtained.
The remedy, Miss McClintock said,
lay in a central board of charities, ap-
pointed by the governor without ref
erence to their political activities, but
only as to their fitness. Miss McCGn-
tock's address was clear-cut and very
convincing, both as to the un1or-
tunate condition she described and as
to the remedy suggested, which is the
general method in force in most of
the States of the Union.

ORR DEFENCES.

- The Associalel4. Press dispatches
carry a story from Washington under
date Of December IA to the effect that
a sensational report from the war de-
partment was sent to the house show
ing how the country was inadequately
protected from invasion against for
eign governments, but was returned
on the ground that the house could
not receive a secret report. The re-
pert goes ON to stae that members Of
congress who saw the document be-
fore its withdrawal, say the report of
Secretary Dickinson points out that
the country is wholly unprepared, that
there is a woeful inadequacy of men,
Of guns adm of ammunition, that the
army should be reorganized, and that
a council of national defence, with the
secretary of war at its head, should
be created by congress"
The reports Of several army officers
recently have pointed to a woeful lack
of competency in the army, and in the
antion's defences generally.
An enormous amount of money is
each year spent by the United States
on its army and navy, and it would
seem that there is lack Of manage
rnent somewhere or something else
badly wrong.
The Associated Press dispatches Of
the same day tell Of the gift by Carne-
gle of ten million dollars to further
worldwide peace.
If air-ships should be perfected as
instruments Of war, they could have
one of two effects-making war more
disastrous and more barbarous than
now, or making it so disastrous that
no longer would the powers engage in
it. Worldwide peace, submitting the
differences of nations to arbitration.

Again, If we were to take this ques-

Such a policy would divert the churches
from the main purposes of their or

DR.. Mciim quoted records to show
that when under orders from Leo.
Stuart q paused In his march to this
support of the invading army in order
to destroy property and capture wagon
trains. which time, according TO DR..
Mckim. might have been used to save
the great campaign. He said that he
had no desire to saddle the blame OF
the failure of the Gettysburg campaign
on Stuart, but he thought that he

had he been with Early at the proper
time his cavalry might have prevented

that Colonel Mosby took occasion In
his efforts to defend Stuart to criti-

unjust thrust was his reference to the

blame of the defeat upon himself.
when in reality he charged II all to
Stuart.
Dr. McKim said that according TO

he could find. Lee made no attempt
TO shield his military reputation by
placing the blame OF the defeat at
the doors of his lteutenants. 1t was
true, he said. that reference was made
