News Notes OF General Interest I
From All Parts OF the State.
TREATED WITH NEGLECT.
Reign Of Horror Reigns at Asylum
According to Investigating Com

mittee.
Columbia, Special.-Charges Of the
grossest violations of the ordinary
rules of sanitation and decency and
q stinging afraignment of the board
of regents of the State hospital for
the insane are contained in the ma
jority reports of the commission ap-
pointed to investigate the hospital,
recently made public. The regents
of the institution are w. j. Good
ing, Hampton; J. Perry Glenn, An
derson, ". W. hay, Congaree; j. III.
Taylor, Columbia. This report shows
that on December 13, last, there were
in the institution 1883 inmates
500 white women, $40 white men,
321 negro women, 322 negro men.
Without placing the blame on any
particular person, the committees
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
ters of wide soil pollution, are locat-
ed with 4 few feet of an outdoor
kitchen.
these closets.
That the bodies of dead patients
are buried one on top of another in
the same lot, with as little con-
sideration as if they were so many
dogs.
That cholera hogs and the dead are
kept in the same lot.
That the wards. even of the white
women, are overrm with vermin and
the patients are 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, and that the food serv-
ed the patients is badly prepared by
persons who never learned to cook
and is served i'll dirty, greasy tin
dishes, and government reports are
quoted to show that in the South
Carolina hospital the death rate is
the highest i'll the United States,
2l.54 per cent. as compared with
general average of IL per cent.
1t is estimated that it will require
$35O,0O0 to put the plant in proper
shape and it is suggested the. pres
worth 100000, and two plants. to
cost $50O,000 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-
tion on modern basis. due to the
state s heavy Indebtedness, is the
principal source of trouble It states
that the patients. as rule. are we'll
cared for, that the food served is
of good quality and we'll cooked and
that the management of the state IS
farm is systematic and efficient.
The minority report states that it
is unnecessary to create great debt
for the state in the purchase of new
sites and that the expenditures of
about $4,000 annually for several
wears. will meet the requirements of

The dachshund is the favorite dog
in Germany, and a very useful and
pleasant companion he seems to be.
The English bulldog is a good second
in popularity. and the nearer he is
to our standard points the better he
is liked. The fox terrier varies a
good deal in size and marking and is
evidently not so well known in Ger
many as he deserves to be.
The ladies there are as fond Of
their little Poms and their King
Charleses as are their English SIS

The Same Aruument,

The following clipping is from the
Texas Railway Journal, the official
organ of the railway employees of Tex
as, publishedby c. F. Goodridge of
Fort Worth. Mr. Goodridge, who for
merly lived here, is chairman of the
joint legislative board of Texas:
"In his answers to labor's demands
Mr.. Colquitt makes the same argyll
ment as do the railroads against
these measures of safety to life, limb
and property. He accepts the COM
monty understood position that the
employers will put in effect all those
measures when they are really neces-
sary. How ridiculous this is when
you come to investigate the past!
How many of the safety devices now
constituting the present railroad
equipment did the employer put into
service? Not single one, until
forced by statute to do So Nor will
they, and Mr.. Colquitt must know
this, unless public sentiment, through
legislation, forces them. For be It

ANT|-F|GHT PICTURE BILL
Drastic Measure Was Introduced lr
the House of Representatives.
Likely to Pass.

Austin, Texas, July 20.-Only two
bills were offered in the house of rep
resentatives today one of them to
prevent the exhibition of the Jeffries-
Johnson prize fight pictures and the
other the prevention of the exhibition
of pictures which are calculated to
corrupt the people, including mem
bers of the legislature.
Each of these bills was introduced
by four authors, as follows: Boles,
Gilmore, Terrell of Cherokee and
Spradley.
House bill No. 5 provides for pen
atty of not less than 5000 nor more
than $500 fine and not less than thir-
ty or more than ninety days in the
penitentiary, for producing or being
concerned in the production of any
representation of any prize fight or
any glove contest by means of NOV
ing picture films or by any other
means whatsoever. And under
strict construction of this bill, should
it pass, and in all probability it will,
sparring matches and exhibitions of
physical skill with the gloves will be
prohibited.
House bill No. 6 provides for the
same penalty for the producing of
lewd, lascivious or immoral pictures
by means of moving picture films or
other means whatsoever.
Incidentally, under this bill, should
it become a law, further exhibition
of the famous painting known as Mana
will be barred And while it is gen.
orally understood that these bills re-

late only to moving pictures they will
be of far-reaching effect.
Drunkenness Durable

Drunkenness is no longer consider
ed a crime; eminent scientists and
physicians have agreed that it is a
disease and must be treated as such.
The home treatment that has been
used for a number of years, and is
highly successful, is Orrine. 1t is sold
under a positive guarantee that if it
does not effect a cure your money
will be refunded When desiring to
give secretly purchase Orrine No. 1,
