The Senate judiciary committee
does DR.. Babcock an Injustice bv
asking the senate TO reques, his
resignation. DR.. Babcock is no
more responsible for the deplor-
able conditions at the assvlum
than is that body known as the
general assembly of Soath Carolina
and any attempt to MAKE a scape
goat OF DIR. Babcock, who has rem
dered long and faithful service at
the asylum, should meet with re-
sentiment from the fair minded cit
liens of the State. Time and
again DR.. Babcock's requests to
the general assembly for an appro-
prlatlon for adequate improvements
at the institution have been ignor-
ed by the general assembly, while
Clemson and Winthrop and the
Citadel have prospered and fatten-
ed at the expense of the tax payers.
DIR. Babcock did the best he could
under circumstances which long
ago would have forced the resipna-
ton OF any man without some
love OF humanity in his heart and
the attempt of the senate judiciary
to make him victim of circum-
stances due entirely to the neeli-
gence and indifference of others
Is unworthy of the several very
excellent gentlemen who compose
the senate's most DISTINGUISHED
committee.
