Dynamite Explosion.
AN OBSERVER.

Vangel Georgioff, Greek, employed
by the Associated Engineers, who are
doing the masonry work on the Cedar
Bluff cutoff of the Norfolk and West
ern Railway near Beech Fork, was in
stantly killed by premature explosion
of dynamite on last Thursday. The un-
fortunate man was working alone at
the time of the accident in the quarries
and it is not known how the accidrnt
occurred.
Georgioff was acting as banker for
the other Greeks on the work, and the
money was found on his remains after
the accident, and on Friday the men
from the works, accompanied by one of
the foremen, was here looking after the
appointment of an administrator to wind
up the affairs of the victim of the ex-
plosion.

A Righteous Protest.

On Saturday, the 9th, with the ther-
mometer registering a temperature of
about 10 degrees, and during binding
snowstorm, horse stood hitched at the
intersection of four streets, where it
got the full benefit of the blizzard, for
perhaps six hours, probably more, un-
blanketed and without a covering of
any kind. 1t was pitiful to watch the
horse nits efforts to keep from freez-
ing, and it seemed to scan the faces of
all that passed, with an almost human
look, IN the hope that some one would
take pity upon it and release it. The
writer for one would have been quite
pleased had it broken loose and gone
home, leaving its owner the pleasure Of
walking several miles. By the time he
reached home he probably would have
awakened to the fact that it was storm
ing.
Just before dark the owner, (no. sure
ly it was not the owner, for the people
of this county have rather reputation
for taking care of all the own), came
leisurely down the street, warmly dress
ed, and mounted the almost frozen
animal and rode away.
Is this the exception? Oh, no! Just
one instance. During the same storm,
for various periods of time, other horses
were left standing, without protection.
Now there is, or should be, remedy for
this. A heavy fine or a stiff jail SEN
tence and such inhumane treatment
would soon come to an end, in this little
city, at least. In almost any other city
in the Union this man would have been
fined heavily. Is it not within the pow
er of our city officials to provide the
remedy, and at once?

Richmond, Va, Nov. %, 1911.
Rev. j. 7. Mastin, Sec,
State Board of Charities,
Richmond, Va.
Dear Mr.. Mastin:-
l duly received your letter of recent
date enclosing list of complaints made
against the Catawba Sanatorium by
Mr.. James M. Elliott, with the request
that l write you an answer to each
complaint.
Mr.. Elliott was patient at the Ca
tawba Sanatorium from August. 1909
to August, 1911. He left in accordance
with the resolution passed by the State
Board of Health limiting the stay of
patients. He applied for re-admission
to the Catawba Sanatorium and then
applied to the Mountain View Sanato-
rum, the private Sanatorium of Mrs.
l.. G. Barnett. 1t is significant to note
that his first complaint was made onlv
after he found he was unable to be ad-
mitted to either the Catawba or Noun
tain View Sanatoria.
While Mr.. Elliott was at Catawba his
attitude to me was very friendly, as. l
am informed, it was to every other
member of the staff. / do not remem-
Der his making complaint to me of the
food or any other condition relating 10
the Sanatorium. On the contrary. I
have heard him speak very favorably of
Catawba especially when comparing it
with other institutions in which be had
been patient
/. In answer to the fret complaint
that the food is not sufficient and is not
well served, submit herewith the diet
list for six months. The diet is prepar-
ed by the matron and the business man.
ager, and is subject to the approval of
the resident physician. Our matron had
twenty years experience in q similar no.
sition in one OF the most popular girls
schools in the State, Hollins Institute.
On one occasion last summer a patient
complained of finding q skipper.
which is the larva of fly, and on two
or three occasions the milk served was
slightly sour. These instances occurred
during the long hot season and were the
direct result Of the great difficulty we

There will be a mid-winter meeting

from the 18th to 10th of January. AS
there are many matters of Importance

tendance from all sections of the State

still stands in Williamsburg; the Oldest
Episcopal church in America; the old
powder magazine erected by Governor
Spottswood; the Raleigh Tavern, and
the crumbling remains of the old State
capital, where Patrick Henry kindled
the flames of the Revolution, are all
centers of attraction to visitors who
come to Williamsburg.
Many buildings that are yet inhabited
are typical and picturesque. They
stand as souvenirs of those trying days,
when the pioneers were kindliur liberty
upon their sacred hearthstones.
On either side of Williamsburg are
Yorktown and Jamestown-one seven
miles west, the other thirteen miles
east, and around these pine swamps
and level plains armies have met, bat
ties have been fought and victories
won.
At jamestown was laid Virginia's
foundation; at Williamsburg were train
ed her sacred heroes, and at Yorktown
they sounded the death knell of tyrany
IN America. These things are held as
loving and honored memories by the
citizens of this city, and they are wor-
thy of note and merit a place in their
affections.
But in my mind l see another land.
the hills of which are pine-clad and
snow-capped. That land has no York
town nor Jamestown, but nestled down
by the side of ripping mountain brooks
is race of highlanders who love liber-
ty and home sweet home. In the veins
of those people flow blood that would
be spilled for liberty as freely as their
slres spilled theirs. That land is South
west Virginia. To me it is the dearest
spot on earth. There dwell all l love
and all l live for. Friends who have
won my affections by kind deeds, and
who still live and lnger in my memory.
Over those rugged crags have strolled
in my childhood, through the deep for
est l have often roamed in later years.
There live now my aged parents, there
was l born and there hope to die.
SUMMER skies may exist, cooler breezes
may blow, brighter stars may glitter
and sweeter raindrops fall but to me it
is the dearest place on the globe.

had in getting ice. 1t is a source of
satisfaction to US that such accidents
did not occur oftener. The raritv of
complaints in regard to the food and
the very frequent commendatorv re-
marks concerning it have led US to he
leve that the food and its service was
unusually satisfactory. One can hardly
expect to provide diet three times a
day, and day after day, that will ALWAYS
please one hundred and twelve people
more or less sick, whose appetites and
tastes are so variable and capricious. l
nave OFTEN felt that the commissary de.
partment was to be highly commended
for its work.
z In answer to the second COMPLAINT
that drinking water is not furnished to
the patients, would say that in every
paVilllon there are several faucets sun
plying water direct from our reservoir
In addition there are coolers in eyerv
pavillon containing water from the sui
pnur spring, and on the table beside
every bed-ridden patient is a drinking
water bottle. The coolers with SULPHUR
water were provided last summer upon
the first request of the patients.

Complaint made by Mr.. Jas. NJ. FL
lott concerning the Catawba Sanato-
rum to the State Board of Charities
and Corrections.
1. That the patients are not given
sufficient food. nor is said food well
served.
z That bed-ridden patients suffer
for sufficient drinking water.
3. That the physician in charge does
not give adequate attention to the pa
tients at the institution for the reason
that he is physician in charge to another
institution for tuberculosis patients and
in addition, practices at large.
4. There is considerable waste
through carelessness which results in
the throwing away of much good food.
8. That the business manager is in
competent.
b. That certain patients have been
allowed to remain at the Sanatorium
longer than six months when, according
to a rule established by the Board of
Directors, no patients are allowed to re-
main longer than six months.
4 That the rule forbidding the Off
Ger In charge of the Sanatorium to al
low patients to remain at the institution
for period longer than six months is
unconstitutional, and therefore, illegal.
3. That the Catawba Relief Asso-
citation is a sham gotten up by DR.. E.
u. Williams to deceive the people and
to advertise himself before the next
Legislature. That when the Catawba
Relief Association was organized. the
committee to secure funds was asked to
appoint one of the committee, who with
the chairman and secretary, would re-
main at the institution two weeks in
order to launch the scheme. These
men are at Catawba now.
8. That sick patients who are not
able to do anything are put on as nurs-
es, so they can draw a salary and get
their food free.
10. That patients entering Catawba
are given to understand that if they
make complaints they will be sent home.
IL. Whenever patients began to lose
weight and complained that they were
not getting enough 70 eat, the reolRsnt
physician would advise them to 90 to
Mountain View Sanatorium, as they
prepared better food down there.
l2. That when you want to leave
Catawba you have to give two weeks
notice so that they can get someone in
your place, or pay for two weeks, but
If you want to go down to Mountain
View, you don't have to give them no
tice.
13. That some of the nurses and Off
cials do not treat the patients with
proper respect.
ID Patients who are able to 90 to
the dining room are supposed to eat
what is on the table and are not allowed
to order anything.
10. They keep bill-of-fare to show
the State Board of Health which is
taken from the table in the staff's din
ing room.
