REPORT ON STATE HOSPITAL.
Executive Regent and superintendent
Make Recommendations.

Columbia, March 1l.-At a meet
ing of the board Of regents held yes
terday the following report was
made:
TO the Regents-Gentleme This
is joint report from tho executive
regent and the superintendent.
l. We recommend the early COM
pletion of the dining room for white
men and the extension OF the main
kitchen, according to plans already
laid before you and discussed.
2. That the chapel be made over
into offices and store rooms.
3. That the Taylor building be
completed by the addition OF the
Southern wing.
4. That the painting of the wards
be carried on as heretofore. The es-
innate Of $1,000 per ward by a con-
tractor we consider excessive, and,
therefore, advise the continuation Of
the old system of hiring painters our
selves.
5. That the use Of tile and terraz-
70 for rooms and stairways be con-
tinued.
G. That the horses and mules be at
once removed from the old asylum
yard.
Z. That dietary Of the institution
be improved.
S. We still think wards should be
made over the six wards of the de-
partments for white men and women.
These wards could be used for tuber-
culoSiS or other sick.
Q. That much abused flooring Of
the institution be gradually repaired.
The best flooring costs $40.5O per
thousand. Very fair flooring can be
bought for SGT per thousand.
10. That laboratories be develop
ed in the several departments.
!. That the appropriation Of $500
for amusements calls for special con-
sideration for its purposes.

MIR. HARRIs's COST ESTIMATE.
"a Farmer" Suggests Items OF Atldi-
tiOnuI Necessary Expense.

Westminster, March l1.-Mr. Edi-
tor: l see in the las: issue OF your
excellent paper an article from J. b.
Harris on corn culture, with positive
results. In this article ] do not in
tend to lessen Mr.. Harriss zeal in
corn culture, for he deserves much
credit for what he has accomplished,
and | fully agree with him in his
estimate Of Mr.. Williamson's plan of
corn raising. Suppose you eliminate
Mr.. Williamson's plan Of preparation
and the application OF fertilizers af-
ter the corn is growing. You would
probably destroy his chances OF sue
cess. His plan Of cultivation Is at
variance with the views Of the most
advanced farmers Of to-day, viz:
Shallow cultivation and frequent STIR
ring Of the soil.
You have no doubt noticed a state
ment similar to this: "Mr. A. made
1000 pounds Of seed cotton on one
acre OF land, and the seed paid all
expenses. This Is delusive state
ment, and should be taken with seve-
raj grains Of salt. Now, | claim Mr..
HarriS's statement Of his estimated
cost Of a bushel Of corn is misleading
and not full enough. His estimate
OF labor paid for is not in accord
with prices paid for labor in the
community.
Now, Mr.. Editor, suppose you rent
an acre Of land and initiate Mr.. Har-
ris's plan this year, and see if you
can do as he has done and come off
as cheaply as he has figured it out.
From Mr. Harriss statement, he has
his land, his mules and his tools to
make the crop, and not one cent has
he charged for the use and wear of
stock and tools, and rent Of land. His
farm Is variously estimated from Sc
to $50 and $75 per acre. The inter
est on this acre should be charged to
expense account, which would add
rs cents on the first estimate, $40
on the second, and Sc on the third;
also, the interest, or depreciation, on
mules and tools used in the cultiva-
ton Of the farm should be prorated
on the whole number Of acres Of the
farm and added to the expense ac-
count. These items would increase
the cost OF one acre very materially.
| think | have shown conclusively
hn
misleading and not full enough, and
therefore, do not represent the en-
tire cost Of raising a bushel of corn.
The subject Of corn culture is claim
ing much attention throughout the
State, and many valuable premiums
are offered for the highest yield pro-
duced on one acre. Let nothing be
done that would discourage our own
weaker brother, who is not so fortu-
nate as to own his stock and land.
Give him an equal chance, in these
contests, to display his tact in the
management of his crop by his OBJ
servation and wisdom gained by ac-
tual experience, and encourage him
to go on and acquire small home Of
his own as the only safe conservator
Of this dear old Southland.

WOMAN SHOOTS MAN WHO|
PLANNED TO JOIN ARMY |
Lover Refuses to Swear to Com
plant Against Sweetheart
Who Wounded Him

PARIS. May 14.-Enghien, the pretty
suburban watering place of Paris,
famous for it's casino, it's miniature
imitation of Monte Carlo gambling ta
bles, and its lake, has been the scene
of a tragic love affair between young
woman and a still younger man. He,
in fact, is just 20, while she is 80 years
of age. They had fallen in love with
each other, but, of course, the usual
disappointment came when the young
man, who had not yet done his mill
tary service, had to leave for the army.
To get through with it quickly, he ap-
piled to be enlisted early, but this,
instead of pleasing his sweetheart
completely upset her. She thought that
he was only anxious to leave her, and
purchased a revolver, as if that were
going to improve matters. After a
pleasant boating excursion on the lake,
she timidly drew out her revolver
when under the shade of the dropping
willow trees and told him that it was
her last hope. She would commit sui
, eide if he left her. He tried to dis
suade her, but she became only more
enthusiastic, and thought that perhaps
it would be well If he also committed
suicide.
The idea did not suit the young man
at all and he snatched the revolver
from her. Unfortunately, he did not
throw IL INTO Ine- lake, WHICH WOulu
have avoided further difficulties. The
melancholy young woman had, unper-
ceived by him, got hold of the re-
volver again, and this time she made
use of it to fire a shot at him. He
was wounded in the neck, but, gallant
young man that he was, he forgave
her, and went to bed without saying
anything. He tried in vain to sleep,
and in the morning a doctor had to
be called, when it was found that the
bullet had, remained in his head, and
was lodged behind the right eye 1t
was extracted with great difficulty.
About the same time the young woman
drove up to the police station and ac-
cused herself of having murdered her
lover. She said that she had intended
to commit suicide Immediately after
ward, but she had not had the courage
to do So The police commissioner be-
lieved that the young woman had lost
her reason, but an inquiry soon
showed that If she had not killed
her lover she had come very near it.
Still, the exemplary future soldier has
refused to lodge a complaint against
her The bullet in his head had proven
to him that she was really fond of him.
This, at least is his view of the mat
ter.

WINE, WOMAN AND DEBT
END IN TAxICAB TRAGEDY

PARIS, May 14.-A mysterious trag-
edy in a taxicab is reported from
Pacy-sur-E -Eure, a chauffeur and a
young woman, with bullet wounds in
their heads, being both found inside
the car, which had been standing a
whole day by the roadside. A cart
driver passed the automobile at 5
o'clock in the morning on his way to
work 1t was then standing on one
side of the road and he paid little at
tention to it. In the evening as he
was going home he was surprised to
see it still at the same place. He told
the gendarmes, who proceeded to the
spot and found two bodies inside. The
young woman had long been dead, but
the chauffeur, though he had been shot
twice in the head, was still breathing.
He was taken at once to the hospital.
but there is no hope of saving his life.
1t was then learned that the couple
mad come to Pacy-sur-E -Eure the even

where they took a drink. They drove
away soon afterward and there was

FATE OF FINLAND STlRS
RUSSIAN POLITICIANS
Firms Declare Imperial Bill Is a
Clamp on Freedom

ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.-The
fate of Finland arouses more interest
in political circles here than most
other political questions. The bill for
assimilating the principality to Russia
in matters of imperial legislation is
expected to come up for discussion in
the duma The cabinet affirms that,
this bill, which empowers the duma and
the council of the empire to legislate
on all questions affecting imperial in
terests, will not impair Finnish auton-
omy. The Firms, on the contrary. de-
clare that its aim is the complete Rus
sification of the principality, while its
effect will be to transform a loyal pop
ulation of three million Firms, occupy
ing the important Russian borderland,
into three million bitter and not alto
gether powerless enemies.
The principal Finnish journal an
nounces that the project is already vir-
tually buried, its trainers having re-
solved to postpone the parliamentary
discussion until the autumn. This de-
lay is construed as a prelude to it's
definite withdrawal. AS M. Stolypin,
the premier, has completely identified
himself with the bill, he would regard
its interment, however decently carried
out, as a defeat of his policy by the
members of the Conservative party,
who as usual, are alleged to be in
triguing against him.
1t may be said, however, that the
Conservative party is intriguing
against nobody, and least of all against
his majesty's cabinet. They are as
jealous as the premier to unite all the
Heterogeneous elements of the empire
into one compact organism. but being
alive to the fatal dangers which would
result from a mistake in the choice of
means or season, they would first adj
dress themselves to other imperial
tasks which are urgent and calculated
Therefore, If the Conservatives were
in power. they would certainly not have
chosen the present unpropitious juno
ture to impart disintegrating actual
ity to the Finnish question.
