BREWER ANSWERS MRS. MOTT.
Says No Provision, to Treat tuberculosis
at State Hospital.

- ~ASob 40OSASaAtoAo
at State Hospital.
Jackson.-Gov. Brewer has recently
received from Mrs. N. A. Mott of Yazoo
City a letter of inquiry, the purport of
which was to ascertain why it is that
patients or persons suffering with tu-
berculosis are denied admission to the
state charity hospital. The governor re-
piled to Mrs. Mott as follows:
my Dear Mrs. Mott-Your favor has
been received. The matter whether the
state charity hospital shall receive and
treat tubercular patients is one that has
caused a good deal of anxiety and worry
to the superintendent and board of trus-
tees. They all realize that some place
should be provided for the care and
treatment of those afflicted with tuber-
s~culosis, and that at the same time it is
difficult to provide proper treatment in
q hospital devoted to patients suffering
with other troubles. : tuberculosis re-
quires the open air, plenty of it, and
nourishing food.
The regular treatment of tuberculosis
could not be given at the charity hos
pital; and then comes the question,
what effect treatment of this class of
patients would have on the usefulness
of the institution for treating various
other maladies. The infection from tu-
beculosis is now known to be far-reach-
ing, and the treatment of this class of
patients there, and afterwards placing
other invalids in the same rooms or
wards, would be more likely to commu-
nicate the disease to those already weak
ened, whose powers of resistance would
be lessened.
"The state should undoubtedly make
some provision for those suffering from
tuberculosis, and this could best be done
by the establishment of a separate hos
pital and tuberculosis camp.
Il am, the ladies of the Kings Daugh-
ters are, much interested in the sup
preston of the white plague, and sim
cerely trust that our next legislature can
make some appropriation for this pur-
pose. Respectfully,
EARL BREWER,
Governor"

DISCRIMINATION Thompson received
an inquiry from a citizen of Chicora, in
Wayne county, asking information as to
the source of near beer" supply. The
writer does not say for what purpose the
information sought is needed, but the
supposition is that it is probably to set
tie a discussion on the subject. Mr..
Thompson was compelled to. write that
he has 10 information on the subject,
and that the only connection he has with
near beer is to collect and account for
the privilege or near beer joints" whe
such are discovered in operation.

BALLOT COUNT
IS COMPLETED
But There is Yet Much
Clerical Work to Do. Err
roneous Reports Concern
ing Canvass of Vote for
Precinct Officers.

The canvassing board has now
practically finished the count OF votes
cast at the election of December y.
The returns of two precincts OF
Yuma county. heretofore missing,
have been received and will be count
ell today. concluding that phase of
the work There is still great deal
TO do and it is thought the board
will not entirely finish its work be-
fore the first or second day OF Feb
ruary.
Some of the counties are not yet
checked over for notification. After
that is done the figures must be
be transferred to tracing paper
and checked again. Then blue prints
must be made and finally the resul;
must be certified to the governor by
the board. The governor must then
certify the returns the president and
prepare them for transmission to
Washington.
In this connection there is another
matter that needs clearing up, due
Il. the perpetual assaults Of some
newspap ers on the canvassing board
in which facts ara distorted. In
some counties elections We're held for
precinct officers. while in others it
WAS contended that the law did not
authorize such an election. 1t has
been stated that the canVassing board
was paving no attention to the vote
on precinct officers and that the re-
suit OF the election in such cases
would not be available even after
the canvasSinS is declared completed.
This is entirely wrong. The pre-
cinct officers have been counted
wherever the vote was taken. In fact
that very work has delayed things
materially as it called for the max
ing of special tally sheets. II is true
that the vote on precinct officers viii
not be included in the certificate sent
TO Washington, for that is a thing
the law does not contemplate and
would merely be unnecessary work.
The returns on precinct officers how
ever will be certified to the respec-
tive county boards of supervisors.
The board has set no time for
making public the returns but il is
stated at he capitol that Il probably
will not be done until the certificate
To- b. transmitted Washington is
in the mails.
