ASYLUM COMMISSION MEETS.
First Step i'm Change at State HOspital
For Insane Madc--Dr. Babcock is
Chairman

Columbia, April 9.-The State Hos
pital Commission met yesterday for
the purpose of perfecting an organi-
zation and discussing preliminary
plans for the Improvement of condi-
tions at the asylum by the purchase
of additional lands and the erection
of certain buildings. There were
present at the meeting DR.. j. w. Bah
cock, superintendent of the State Hos
pital for the Insane; Dr. Robert Will
son, Jr., of Charleston, chairman of
the State Board of Health; Judge r.
O. Purdy, of Sumter; Leroy Springs,
of Lancaster, and DR.. George B. Cro-
mer, of Newberry. DR.. Babcock was
elected chairman of the commission
and DR.. Cromer was elected secre-
tary. The next meeting will be held
on May 16.
After some discussion the commits
sion decided to advertise for a tract
of land not less than 1000 acres, we'll
watered and conveniently located for
hospital purposes Offers for the
land are to be received until May IA.
Gov. Ansel presided at the prelim-
mary meeting of the commission and
called for an expression of each of
the members as to the future work
for the institution. This led to a gen.
eral discussion Of the situation. The
conclusions was reached that the pur-
poses of the commission were to re-
lieve the present congested conditions
at the hospital and to establish a flu
ture policy for the institution.
1t is likely that several, if not all.
of the members Of the commission
will attend a meeting of asylum Off
GERS to be held in Washington on May
8, and 5, and that later a visit will
be made to several asylums, both in
the Northern and Southern States, for
the purpose of investigating the
methods employed at these institu-
tions.
The commission is authorized un-
der joint resolution of the last gen.
eral assembly to borrow the sum Of
100000 with which to make the
improvements.

Dry i'm New York.

New York, April 10.-Not since the
day when Theodore Roosevelt was
commissioner of police has New York
been so dry ca Sunday as today
Drinks were to tc had, of course, but
the drought was nevertheless evident
nearly all over the city. The police
beginning last Sunday, are obeying to
the letter Mayor Gaynor's order OF
"hands off, no excise arrests" But
with slips prepared by the district at
torney's office they started in looking
for evidence of liquor law violations
in conjunction with officers Of the
State excise department. This, to-
gether with general uncertainty of
things made the saloon men cautious.

STABLE BURNS IN CAMDEN.

Camden, April 8.-At about 2
O'Clock this Afternoon the stable of DR..
S. F. Brasington caught on fire and
was burned to the ground. The flames
had advanced considerably before be-
ing discovered and for that reason it
was impossible to save the building.
Several surrounding out houses
caught and it was only through fine
work by the fire company and ex-
cellent water pressure that the fire
was kept from reaching far more Sc
rious proportions. The stable was
stocked with feed, guano and cement
all Of which was lost. The two horses
which were in the building at the
time It caught were taken out In safe
ty. The origin of the fire is un-
known.

REVENUE TAX ON SOFT DRINKS
Revenue Agent Gives Notice That
Dealers Must Comply.

Columbia, April SIT is very prob
able that Sumter drug stores and
all others selling soft drinks will be
subject to a revenue license tax, if
all are not now paying it.
The internal revenue department,
under the administration of Mr.. A.
j. Yellowley as revenue agent, has
served notices upon all the soft
drink sellers of Columbia that they
must take out licenses as liquor deal
ers, If they are using are have used
syrups containing as much as one
halt OF one per cent of alcohol.
Several Of the dealers in Columbia
have taken out licenses for the last
two years, rather than contest the
ruling, but it Is possible that one or
moro OF the dealers may take the
matter to the Courts. Others have
paid up rather than protest.

traders call a failing market"

day. referring to Geo. L. McFadden,
the cotton operator.
us it true that you lost more than
$1,0O0,0O0 in the recent slump?" he
was asked.
Make it $2,OOO,oOO if you want
to-" he replied. Losing 100000
in this sort of a fight is no more to
me than losing a dime would be to
you. When a man has as much cot
ton coming and going as I have, he
has not time to figure up how every
little fiuctuation in the price affects
his profits. 1t is not worth while"

TO DEVELOP STOCK RAISING.
How the Southern Railway is Work.
ing to Encourage the Raising of
Food and Stock.

Atlanta, Ga, April 1.-THE South
as Profitable Field for Stock Rails
ing is the theme of the April issue
of the Southern Field, the official or
gan of the land and industrial DEPART
ments of the Southern Railway the
Mobile and Ohio, the Georgia South
ern and Florida, the Alabama Great

Orleans and Texas Pacific Railroads.
Advance proofs which have Just come
from the press indicate that this is
sue, thousands of copies of which will
be placed in the hands of desirable
settlers now living in the north and
west, will preach a great sermon on
the opportunities for profit in the
stock business in the South.
The leading article tells of the great
awakening of interest in this industry
in the South and the opening of a
mammoth packing house in Atlanta
Is pointed out as an indication that
the movement for the South to raise
it's food at home is now we'll under
way. Well written articles fully il
Illustrated tell of the northern Or west
ern farmer is assured that by COM
ing South he can procure cheaper
land with a climate giving practically
twice as much time for work in the
year and still pursue the kind of agri-
cultural industry to which he is ac-
customed, instead of having no alter
| native but to raise cotton.
Wire grass Georgia and the section
along the line of the Augusta South
ern railroad come in for a consider
cradle share of attention but no sec
ton of the South is neglected and
| though the raising of live stock is
given chief attention all branches OF
Southern agriculture and industry are
touched upon.
This magazine which is published
under the direction of Land and In
dustrial Agent M. V. Richards is a
great booster for the South and all
readers are assured that any one in
terested in the South will be given the
fullest information on application to
the departments headquarters in
Washington where facts and figures
concerning any section of the South
are to be had at a moments notice
and a permanent exposition of the
South's resources is maintained open
to the investigation of any one.

Letter to Attorney General Lyon Will
Result i'm Investigation i'm New
County.
Columbia, April 9.-Fraud by the
use of liquor and money in securing
votes in the recent election held in
the new county of Dillon is charged
in letter received by Attorney Gen.
eral Lyon from citizen of that coun-
ty. The letter says:
1--WE have just had our first elec-
ton in Dillon county, and while we
had hoped that it would be a clean
one, regret to say that it was one Of
the dirtiest 1 know of, and there are
few things that came up that 1
would like to have your advise me
on. I have been reliably informed
that at several of the precincts both
liquor and money were used freely.
In fact, 1 have understood that at
one Of the precincts two parties were
arrested and have made sworn affi-
davits that they were given liquor and
money. One Of the parties states that
he knows of several voters treated as
he was. l have understood further,
that men were carried to the polls so
drunk that it was necessary for them
to be bodily supported. Would not
a condition like this not only lay the
parties liable to prosecution, but
throw out the poll? another case
brought to my attention is this: One
of the cotton mills here has a vot-
ing precinct and the voters are con-
trolled entirely by the president and
the superintendent. In fact, I have
understood, and am free to say that
I believe it, that if the operatives re-
fuse to vote as the president and su-
perintendent directs, they are
promptly dismissed.
This same precinct counted the
votes with closed doors and would
not make known the result until GER
tain other results had been announc-
ed These are conditions that exist
here and if it is possible to not only
throw out those polls what were so
rotten, but bring the guilty parties to
justice, I shall be glad to have you
advise the course of procedure"
Attorney General Lyon has taken
contents Of the letter under consid-
Grafton and will make a thorough in
veStigation.
