grossest violations of the ordinary
rules of sanitation and decency and
a singing arrangement of the board
of regents of the State hospital for

iority reports of the commission APP
pointed to investigate the hospital,
recently made public. The regents
Of the institution are w j. Good

Taylor, Columbia. This report shows
that on December Is, last, there were
in the institution 1883 inmates
$50 white women, $40 white men,
321 negro women, 322 negro men.
Without placingfhe blame on any
particular person, the committee
report states the evidence shows:\
That Is patients of one ward were
bathed in the same water in a bath
tub.
That the foulest water closets, cen
tiers of wide soil pollution, are iocat-
ed With q few: feet Of an outdoor
kitchen.
Til there are no screens about
these closets.
That the bodies of dead patients
are buried one on top Of another in
the same lot, witha as little con
%sideration as il they were so many
dogs.
That cholera hogs and the dead are
kept in the same lot.
That the wards, eyenBof the white
women, are overrun with yermin and
the patients IRE allowed to go un-
kept and ragged.
The report also states that many
attendants are reported illiterate and
brutal, many cases of brutality be,
ing reported, and3that Che food serv-
ed the patients is badly prepared by
persons who never learned to cook
and is served IN dirty, greasy tin
dishes, and government reports are
quoted to show that iri the South
Carolina hospital the death rate is
the highest in the United States
21.54 per cent, as compared with 9
general average; of Iper cent.
1t is estimated that it will require
$35O,OOO to put the plant in proper
shape and it is suggested the pres.
ent plant be sold the land being
worth 100000, and two plants, to
cost 100000 each to- be erected by
the state elsewhere.
A minority report submitted by
three members Of the commission
disagrees with the main features Of
the majority report. 1t holds that
the lack of funds to put the institu'
ton on q modern basis, due to the
states heavy Indebtedness, is the
principal source ofgtrouble. 1t states
that the patients, as rule, r wei
cared for, that the food served is
of good quality aid well cooked and
that the management Oh the states
farm is systematic and efficient.
The minority report states that il
is unnecessary to create a great debt
for the state in The purchase Of new
