In the Senate.

In the Senate.
There will be an earnest fight IN
the senate for the passage Of the bill.
The advocates of the measure are
very hopeful, but its opponents seem
to be confident Of a majority Of two
or three votes.
The Asylum Matter.
The views of both the majority
and minority Of the joint Legislative
Investigating committee on the asy-
lum, who recently submitted their
report, have been embodied in bills
now before the general assembly.
The bill to submit to the people Of
the State the question Of issuing
bonds to. the amount of million dol
lars to build two new plants-one for
the whites ard one for the blacks
and to dispose Of the present prop
erty, was introduced several days
ago. The bill embodying the views
of the minority Of the investigating
committee, was introduced Thurs
day might. It will be recalled that
the minority report was signed by
Senator Hardin and Representatives
Sawyer and Carey, and Senator Har-
din is the author Of the senate bill
and Representatives Sawyer and Ca
rev are the authors of a similar bill
in the house, authorizing the board
Of regents to purchase tract of not
more than 1900 acres on some rail-
road within ten miles Of the city Of
Columbia at a price not to exceed
$25,O00, the regents being empow-
cred to borrow the money from the
sinking fund commission.
The Arguments Advanced.
The authors of the bill believe
that the purchase of such a tract of
land would be the first step towards
giving the asylum the necessary
equipment. Their idea is that the
land would give ample room for
buildings separating the different
classes of patients, and also for
farm. One Of the gentlemen in dis
cussing the matter said that In case
this plan should be adopted, it would
then be feasible to use the present
hospital for the white and to use the
out-of-town property for the color
ed inmates, or to use the out-of-town
tract for both races, and to use the
present asylum for the reception and
assignment Of patients, letting them
be committed here and then assigned
to the proper lass at the other plant,
and also using the plant here for
general headquarters. He said he
believed a tract Of 1000 or 1900
acres would be ample for buildings
in which the races and the different
classes Of patients could be separa-
ted Later, he said, the matter of
selling off some lots from the land in
the city, might be considered, if con-
ditions should be such that the
whole of both tracts was not neces-
sary. He believed, however, he said,
that the asylum plant should include
an acre for each patient.
Up to the Legislature.
The bill was referred to the ways
and means committee.
Both plans are now squarely be-
fore the legislature. Mr.. D. L.

ton so as to give the legislature the

HE Alcazsr's summer is past

month have been just like
members Of the Belasco family,
take their departure after to-
nights performance of Bern
STEMS irresistible Samson" and,
contrary to the usual operation of hu-
man experience with summer sojourn-
ers, nothing but regrets are left be-
hind by BeIasco's departing guests; re-
grets for the parting, softened by
pleasant memories Of the associations
just sundered. James K. Hackett, who

But, you know, however welcome
visitors may be, and however regret
fully we bid them adieu, we must be
honest enough TO admit that they
upset the establishment somewhat.
The more notable the visitor may be,
the more certain he is to interrupt the
regular processes of home life. and
when he goes things have to be set
in order, so TO say, before the regular,

losses in the family Some of the Alca-
zar folk have longed to try their wings
and have flown eastward where the
lights of Broadway send a glare into
the theatrical sky that may be seen
even from this far western city Wen,
these additions to the family and these
departures of some of the members and
the leave takings of the guests have, as
you may well imagine, brought about
a perturbed and agitated state of mind
at the Alcazar which is interestingly
and reasonably sentimental and af-
fecting.
Two of the four newly made mem
bers of Belasco's play household left

Keep Baby
 Healthy; Free

No child can be we'll and strong unless its bowels move regularly every day at the same hour. Such regularity promotes good health. One passage is absolutely necessary, while two are not too many.
 There is one remedy that is especially adapted to the needs of children, and which thousands of American mothers are using today. and that is Dr. Caldwell'S s Syrup Pepsin, the great herb laxative compound. Its gentle action, so free from griping it's tonic effects, and it's perfect purity, vouched for to the United States Government, makes it an idc,-l Childrens laxative tonic.
 Mrs. NJ F. Cash. of Webb Okla, is an old-time friend of this wonderful childs remedy and she says she could scarcely keep house without it. She became ac- quainted with it through Dr. Caldwell's s offer of a free trial bottle which she found so effective on her baby that she now always keeps it in the house. Mrs. K. l.. Stout. of Louisville, Ky, also first of her druggist at the regular price. which is only 50 cents or S1 a bottle. It gave her little girl splendid appetite and a. vigorous stomach.

The Resignation of Rev. J. R
Doan.

Last week the GOLD LEAF made
mention of the resignation of Rev.
J. r. Doan as pastor of the First
Baptist church, and the fact that
Sundays services would close his
pastoral relations in Henderson. AS
then stated there is general regret
that Mr.. DOan is going to another
field of labor. He has accepted call
to the church at South Boston, Va.
The report Of the church operations
under Mr.. DOan's ministry, made at
the morning service, was a surprising
exhibit, of the activity and efficiency
of the church, to those who have not
kept account ofits movements. There
has been fine spirit ofco- operation,
between the pastor and the members
of the church, and the remarkable
situation is presented OF severance
OF church relations between pastor
and people when the doing Oft caused
painful regret all around. Mr.. DOan
felt that larger field of usefulness
was open to him elsewhere and that
another could carry on the work here
Just as we'll.
At the close OF the morning service
Mr.. Doan presided over a conference
called to hear the report ofthe pulpit
committee and call his successor.
This IN itself is an unusal mark OF the
cordial relations existing between the
church and the retiring pastor.
The prayers and good wishes OF the
people of Henderson will go with Rev.
J. r. Doan and his family into their
new home and throughout the jour
ney of life.
