Aside from the ways and means

Among these are the appropriations

HOSPITAL HAD A
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Reports Show During Past
Season Institution Almost
Supported Itself.

Reid Memorial hospital had a most
successful season during 1910, accord
ing to the reports which were made at
the annual meeting for the election of
trustees. held Tuesday evening. Prac-
tically $4,000 was spent during the
year in maintenance of the institu-
ton and approximately this amount
was received. from charges exacted of
patients, other than those of the char
ity class. and from the $4,000 appropri-
alton from the city of Richmond.
Improvements of "a general nature
were made TO the hospital buildings
More rooms were added to meet the
demand. The automobile service was
installed during the year and now the
trustees believe that the institution is
in fair way to handle all possible
business. During 1911 it is more than
likely laundry will be Installed in
the basement of the barn and this
will be of great benefit to the institu-
ton.
Hospital Appreciated.
That the hospital has been appre-
ciated by the public seems conclusive
from the number of patients. The to-
tai number treated was SCI. The aver
age daily number in the hospital was
90. Miss Sellers report also shows
that there were 219 operations and
that there were seventeen births. Her
report in regard to nursing facilities
showed that besides herself there are
two graduate nurses and twelve stu.
dent nurses. The training school for
nurses Is in excellent shape and a
splendid course of instruction is be-
ing given.
The reports will not be made public
in detail until council has first review
ed them. The institution being of a
public nature, the requirement is made
that these reports be rendered to
council. The city has been accustom-
ed to appropriate from it's general
fund for the hospital. the amount be-
ing reduced each year as the institu-
ton becomes more self supporting.
The election of the trustees resulted
in the reelection Of John L. Rupe and
John Nicholson. The board as now

Alabama.
tAmerican News Service)

Tuskegee, Ala, Jan 1S-The TWEEN
tieth annual session of the Tuskegee
Negro Conference opened at Tuskegee
institute today with large and repre-
sentative attendance. The feature of
the program was symposium discus
sion on the subject of the negro as a
farmer. The question of making ten
ant farming more profitable both to
the landlord and to the tenant was
discussed at length. Attention was al
SO paid to the methods for making
truck farming, cotton raising, fruit
raising and live stock and poultry
breeding profitable to the negro farm
er. Booker 7. Washington in his open
ing address said the value of the dis
cussions lay in the good the delegates
got from them to carry home.
Tomorrow the annual Workers con-
ference will be held at the institute.
Indications point to an unusually large
attendance of persons directly engaged
in negro education and others interest
ed in the uplift of the colored race.

to their feet and dashed from the
spot toward their camp. Up and
down hills and across small valleys
and through woods they sped with
the ever-present sound of the rattle
close to their heels. A view of their
tent in the distance lent wings to-
their feet. They literally flew as the
rafting sound seemed more and more
suggestive of venom. At last the
camp was reached and they flung
themselves upon the ground with the
last ounce of their strength.
AS the body of one struck the earth
the rattle seemed more plain than
ever, although they were in open
ground and no sign of their late enc
my appeared in sight. Whenever he
moved the sound reached his senes.

DISPOSITION OF KIRK HOUSE.
Death of Miss Kirk Leaves UnSOlyed
Perplexing Question.

Aiken, Dec. 29.-The death OF
Miss Kirk has created a great deal
of comment in the city, as to what
disposition will be made Of her body
and the premises in which she lived.
Her relatives in Charleston have been
notified of her death and are expect
ed in the city tonight; they will
probably decide where she will be
buried. 1t is said that if she is not
buried here her body will be taken
to Charleston.
In conversation with one OF the
members Of the local board Of health
he stated that the. railroads required
most careful preparation Of dead
bodies offered for shipment, and that
especially lepers would be hard to
transport.
The disposition of the house In
which this poor woman lived IS al
ready discussed, and while some OF
the most timid who fear leprosy say
without hesitation that it should pe
burned, others take different views
of the matter.
While the death of tie unfortunate
lady brings to a close most unfort-
innate condition in the city OF Aiken,
the disposition of a building in which
she lived will still be source OF
trouble.

CHASED BY "RATTLER."
Sportsmen Have Thrilling Experience
in Ariznna


in Arizona.
Abject fear of rattlesnakes was in
grained in the hearts of two Chicago
sportsmen who journeyed recently to
the wilds of Arizona. They were told,
however, that few snakes crawled
and had their being in the particular
region which they proposed to visit
and therefore sailed forth from the
city for their western destination with
no misgivings The story of ad-
venture which betook them while
hunting for game near the city Of
Phoenix is now being retailed by
their friends in Chicago.
The camp of the two Chicagoans
was pitched in a wild region where
one of the men had mine interests.
Learning that game was plentiful in
the neighborhood, the two sportsmen
shouldered their guns one morning
and set out in quest for it. About a
mile of hilly, wooded country filled
with underground had been traversed
when one of the hunters heard a
noise. 1t sounded suspiciously like
a rattle and seemed to proceed from
a dense patch of bushes.
"What was that?" he whispered,
the fear of snakes entering his mind,
Notwithstanding the denials of ma
tive Arizona settlers that few rep
tiles dwelt thereabouts.

"It sounded like"
There it is again." the first broke
in as his frightened friend trod softly
to his side and tremblingly prepared
his gun for possible action. The rus
tie of the gun and the click Of the
lock as it was cooked, brought an
other rafting noise to their ears.
1T amt in the bush. It's right
near u.s." shouted the other. "1t's
a snake and I'm going to get out OF
here"
And then the rout began.
The two hunters, neither of whom
is of slim build, dropped their weap-
ons and with a combined shrek of
terror fed in panic. They crashed
headlong through the underbrush of
the hill sides rolling and crawling to
the bottom of each declivity, but
picking themselves up after each fall
and struggling in rapid flight again.
Notwithstanding the violence of their
exertions and the swiftness Of their
retreat the noise of the rattle came
plainly to their ears after a particu-
larly hard fall down the side of
precipitous bluff.
Hes chasin' u.s." gasped one of
the terror-stricken sportsmen.
"He sure is," echoed his compan-
ion, as with one supreme effort the
winded and perspiring city men got

BADGER GAME CHARGED.
South Carolina Man and His Wife
are Implicated.

Washington papers the past few
days have been full of the alleged
badger game" worked on Harry
Rosenthal, a merchant of that city,
by James Knott, formerly of North,
S. c., and his wife of three weeks.
Benjamin Knott, brother, is also
held as witness, as is man by the
name of Alton Armstrong. The
Knott family is well known in South
Carolina and well connected.
The badger game is as old as the
hills-the Marquis of Steyne thought
he was victim of it when Rawdon
Crawley Unexpectedly walked in on
his lordship and Becky Sharp in the
third act of the play-but the Knots
seemed to have introduced new feat
ures. According to the story as
published in the Washington papers,
the room to which the Washington
merchant was invited by the pretty
wife of James Knott was fitted up
with brilliant ceiling lights, and when
the merchant suggested that the
lights should be turned down the
charming Mrs. Knott explained that
she was very much afraid of the
dark, and the explanation suficed.
Later, when the outraged husband
made demand for $4,000, the visitor
discovered that the lights were the
kind used by photographers to make
photographs at night and that he and
the pretty woman had been caught
by the camera, as we'll as by the hus-
band.
Charge of Blackmail.
The Washington Herald of Friday
gives the following account of de-
velopments in the case:
"a charge of blackmail was last
night lodged against Benjamin Knott
of South Carolina, who was arrested
as United States witness when his
brother, James Knott, Alton Arm
strong, and Mrs. James Knott were
taken in custody for attempting to
extract $4,000 from Harry Rosen-
thai, of the firm of Rosenthal &
Levy, after photographs of the mer-
chant and Mrs. Knott alone in an
apartment in the Cairo had been
made. The quartet will be arraigned
in the police court this morning.
benjamin Knott had declared he
knew nothing of the alleged black
mailing scheme and his statements
were corroborated by his brother,
sister-in-law, and friend, but the wit
ness unwittingly disclosed the hiding
place of a letter to detectives yester-
day afternoon, with the result that
he is now accused of implication in
