MCCORMICK COUNTY LOSES

Judge Ernest Moore, who last
week heard arguments in Columbia,
on the Writ of Certiorari, in the mat
ter of Mccormick county, has rem
dered a decision in which he finds
against the validity of the election
held for the creation of the county.
The opinion of the court has not yet
been received here, but the ques-
tons involved were, whether quail
fled electors residing in the portion
Of Greenwood county proposed to
be cut off should be deprived of the
right to vote because their voting
precinct was not included in the
proposed county. The cause will be
appealed to the Supreme Court,
which will hear the appeal at this
term.

TO KEEP THE
RECORD STRAIGHT.

A late isue of the Anderson In
%telligencer printed two prize essays
by members of the graduating class
Of Anderson High School. They were
both well written and contained
much interesting reading. One of
the essays, however, contained some
errors of fact to which the author
would doubtless be very glad to have
her attention called.
First. Jno. G Calhoun and Lang
don Cheves we're both Abbeville men
and not Anderson men. Calhoun did
have a summer home at Clemson
but not at Pendleton.
Second. The Grange had its orr
gin in 1872 in Washington city.
Third. Governor Joe Brown was
born at Long Creek Oconee County,
S. c., and not in the mountains of
Georgia.
Trivial as these items may seem
they r facts of history and if never
corrected might lead others to er-
ror History.

CALHOUN FALLS

This being the season for flies, it
behooves the careful housekeeper to
keep the home as free as possible
from the dirty, disease bearing crea-
lures. Even if the house is proper
ly screened, many flies will gain an
entrance; this in a very great meas
ure can be prevented by placing near
the screen door on the back porch,
one of the fly traps recommended by
the S. G.. Experiment Station, and
described in Circular No. 23. This
circular will be sent free to those
who want it. Anyone who can ham
die a hammer and saw can make the
trap, and the principal expense will
be for a few tacks, nails and screen
wire netting. The writer lately
made one of these traps and placed it
on the back porch; the flies instead

DOLLAR EXCHANGE;
MERCHANT MARINE
OUR SOUTH AMERICAN FRIENDS
LOOKING TO UNITED STATES.
Making Efforts to Establish Better
Commercial Relations With This
Country "The Dollar Exchange
and the Merchant Marine"

Charlotte Observer.
The sentiment of the Latin-Ameri-
al experts now in Washington
seems to be summed up in the state
rient by one of them that '"South
American merchants look to the I'm
tied States as the logical source for
obtaining many products, and it
would seem to be only a question of
arranging the proper banking facili-
ties and transportation lines to bring
our people to your markets. We
would rather do business with the
United States than with Europe, if
the same facilities for doing business
can be provided"
AS The Observer has said, two of
the most important subjects that will
be under discussion is the dollar ex-
change and the merchant marine.
The significance of the former is the
more easily understood from a state
ment given out to the effect that
practically all the South American
delegates are unanimous in wanting
to discuss with bankers of the United
States the practicability of establish
ing a dollar exchange so they can
transact their business withthis coun-
try easily in dollars and cents, and
not have to make the reduction to
dollars from pounds sterling or some
other foreign exchange"
The sessions of the conference in
Washington will last a week and at
the end of that time the visiting dele
gates will be sent out on special
trains for a tour of the financial and
industrial centers of the United Sta
tes. 1t is important that they be
made acquainted with the possibili-
ties for trade development in the
cotton mill c%enters, and for that rea-
son it is to be hoped one of the tour
ing delegations will be apportioned
to Charlotte.

IMPORTANT CHANGES
At STATE HOSPITAL

DR.. C. Fred Williams, superintend-
ent of the State Hospital for the In
n has announced important
changes to be made in the method of
operation of the asylum and in the
personnel of the employees. The pre-
vious defects in the hospital has
been attributable to the lack of CEN
t~ralizatton in the management. The
last general assembly remedied this
and vested the power in the super
intendent responsible to the board
of regents for the administration Of
the institution. Also an appropriation
of $500, 900, to be raised by a one
mill levy, was made for the remodel
ing of the present building and the
erection of auxiliary plants.
Architects are now working on
plans for remodeling the building of
the State Hospital for the Insane.
One of the initial auxiliary build
ings to be erected will be a model
dairy. Other new structures will in
clude a central kitchen. cold storage
and ice plant and a central heating
plant.
A new medical staff will be ap-
pointed, headed by DR.. W. G. Sandy,
an alienist with 10 years experience
in institutional work. He comes to
Columbia from the State Hospital for
the Insane at Kings Park, N. Y. He
will be medical director of the South
Carolina Hospital for the Insane and
will take the position in about a week
Other members of the medical staff
will be a senior physician, a woman
physician, a pathologist, two junior
physicians and three ~interns. The in
terms will be selected from the grad
uating class of the State Medical COL
lege, at Charleston.
After the medical staff is chosen
each patient will be given a complete
mental and physical examination
and they will be classified for treat
ment% according to their disease types.
To insure diversional occupation,
big workshop will be erected at the
State Hospital for the Insane, where
patients can follow the various crafts
Carrying out this diversional policy
DR.. Williams has dismissed all but 10
laundresses at the hospital, and sub
stituted patients to do the work the
33 discharged laundresses did,
