TO INSPECT INSTITUTIONS.
State Board of Charities and Cor
rections Have Great Work Ahead

Columbia, June S:-The State
Board of Charities and Corrections,
created by the last General Assem-
bly,, will begin at the earliest pos
sible date a survey of every institu-
ton in South Carolina over which it
has visitorial and advisory powers.
1t has already made a preliminary
study of the State hospital for the
insane and the penitentiary. But,
before the Statewide survey can be
undertaken in a. thorough-going
way, it will be necessary to deter
mine what kinds of data about insti-
tutions will be of greatest use to the
State. To find this out, the board
and it's officers are studying the re-
ports of a number of boards in other
States, making comparisons, etc.
Albert S Johnstone, secretary OF the
board, will visit especially success
full boards and institutions in other
States to get frst-hand view OF
their methods of work.
A survey of the penal, charitable
and correctional institutions ofSouth
Carolina will disclose the real con-
ditions in them and will enable the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
tions to cooperate more closely with
local officials and to contribute more
effectively to bring about needed re-
forms in the systems of managing
county iails, poor houses and chain
gangs, as well as in the States penal,
charitable and correctional institu-
tions.
The State Board of Charities and
Corrections is now in close touch
with the board of regents OF the
State hospital for the insane, who
are instituting sweeping changes
and for whom the State Board OF
Charities and Corrections will,
through it's fiscal agent, perform the
important service of investigating
the financial status of patients at
the hospital. Those patients who
are found to have means and who
therefore should pay will be requir-
ed by the board of regents to pay in
whole or in part for their treatment
at the hospital.

Homicide Near Lake City.

Lake City, June 7:-Ladson Nc
Clam, a negro. employed on the
farm of D w Floyd. about three
miles west of here, was fatally shot
last night. Charley Nelson, living
on the adjoining farm of Mr. F L
Floyd, is accused. 1t seems from
the testimony at the Coroner's in
quest held this afternoon that four
negroes, Mott Singletary. Ladson
McClam, John and Paul Davis and
Lou Burgess, went to the house
where Ladson McClam was staying
last night, and with the intention Of
soaring him and giving MIN a horse.
whipping, called him out. Seeing
the number around him he probably
became frightened and attempted to
run, whereupon Charley Nelson fired
the shot that caused his death. All
of the negroes that were present
have been arrested and are in the
town guard house here and will to-
morrow be taken to Florence, where
court is now in session, and will
likely be tried at this term. All
the negroes arrested were found to-
day working at their usual places,
and at first claimed to know nothing
of the occurrence.

WAR SUMMARY.


Considerable gains by the allied
forces in France, on the Gallipoli
peninsula and in Asiatic Turkey are
chronicled by London and Paris,
while damage to Austrian positions
on the Adriatic by Italian warships
is reported by Italy. Berlin admits
the reverses claimed by Paris-at
Neuville.St Vast. where the Ger
mans have lost two groups of houses
and the REIMBURSEMENT of a sugar
factory at Souchez.
The Germans, however, claim pro-
gress against the Russians in Galicia,
capture of many positions and num-
bers of men and guns.
Gains on the western front claim
ed by Paris are on the sector north
of Arras and at Neuville, where
trenches south of the Labyrinth"
have been taken, and north of the
Aisne, where, after bombardment,
two successive lines Of trenches and
several German works were captur-
ed and counter attacks repulsed.
Germany reports the repulse with
heavy losses to the allies of attacks
on the eastern slope of the Lorette
height.
An advance of 500 yards along a
front of nearly three miles, in which
two lines of Turkish trenches on the
Gallipoli peninsula were taken by
the allies, is reported by London
and Paris. The fighting was san
culinary, position after position be-
ing taken by the allied troops and
then reverting to the Turks in furi-
Gus counter attacks. Allied war;
ships aided their land forces in cap
turing the Turkish positions.
In the taking of Amara, on the
Tigris River, in Asiatic Turkey, the
British received the surrender of
the Governor and some thirty Off
GERS and about TOO soldiers. In all
that district the British took prisohI
ers more than 1000 men.
The Italian naval forces have car
ried out several operations against
the Austrian coast points in the
middle and lower Adriatic. They
have cut the cable connecting the
Dalmatlon archipelago to the Cont
nent and destroyed by lombard
ment the lighthouses and lookout
stations of the islands. Monfalcone
also has received attention from
torpedo boat destroyers, and the
railway between Cattara and Raguso,
in Dalmatia, has been bombarded
and damaged.
Five more British trawlers have
been sent to the bottom by German
submarines.
London, June 3::-The fortress of
Przemysi on the San has been re-
captured by the combined armies OF
Austria and Germany, official state
>ments from Berlin and Vienna an
nounce. The Russians captured
the city from Austria on March 22'
after siege of 2Ol days. With 1t
they took more than 100000 prison:
