STRAIT WILL TELL PEOPLE
OF THE ASYLUM MUDDLE
The Record, 2nd.


Announcement tat he would prob
ably enter the political arena next
year and tell the South Carolina pub
lie fully Of the details of operation Of
the State hospital for the insane, at
Columbia, of what changes and i'm
proyements were made by him and Of
the treatment accorded him by the
present State administration was made
by DR.. T. ]. Strait, of Lancaster, re-
Gently removed superintendent of the
asylum, shortly before he left yes
terday afternoon for mis- former home
after being succeeded by DR.. c. Fred
Williams, of Columbia
DR.. Strait said his mind was not
fully made up as to what enorr no
would take to make public his views
upon the situation at the asylum and
upon the actions of tie administration
with regard to him. He forecasted a
political upheaVal in 1916 with the
asylum as the center Of the vortex.
DR.. Strait said he did not know
whether he would run next summer
for governor, or lieutenant governor,
or for congress from his district" :"
That "some of the leading lawyers
of t1is State hold the opinion that a
superintendent of the asylum can not
be<summarily removed without cause,
and that such action without cause
would be illegal was mentioned by
him during the interview. He did not
express his own opinion.
DR.. Strait said he had not brought
partisan politics into the government
of tee asylum, and that he had
brought about "a considerably more
efficient government at less aggre-
gate expense to the State than thai
which 1 found there" He declared a
comparison of the monthly expenses
of March, 1914, and March, 1915,
showed he mad saved $1,000 for that
month. He also asserted the installa-
ton of bread cutters saved the State
the cost of $4,000 loaves of bread since
he assumed charge. Giving strict
care to the amount of meat cooked
for each meal resulted in a daily saw
ing of IT'S pounds, he said.
DR.. Strait told of how ne 1ad be-
come very friendly with the patients
not wholly demented and "they shed
tears when told l was to leave" He
was informed, he said, that the staff OF
nurses had petitioned tie governor not
to remove MIN.
AS he closed the interview, Dr..
Strait said he had assured DR.. VIII
liams that he would gladly assist him
in any way possible.
DR.. Strait left Columbia in mid-af-
lNernoon for Lancaster He said he
would resume the practice of medicine
at Lancaster after rest of 10 days.

for battle song, and the fact of its
having. been used before does not les
sen the merits of what Mr. Stephens
calls the ever memorable stanzas' Of
My Maryland
"Mr. Randall, as the Savannah
Press said, wrote otner good poetry,
by tee historic associations of My
Maryland as we'll as its poetic eX-
cellence, make it the poem through
which his names is and will always be
most widely known. It was the Mar
seillaise of the Southern Confederacy.
Of other poems by him, one of deVo-
tional character, written in lis later
years and called 'Resurgam' is consid-
cred by Hon. William H Fleming-a
gentleman of fine literary taste-to be
comparable to Cardinal Newman's
Lead, Kindly Light I believe it was
set o music by Prof. Wiegand, of Sa-
vanuah.
About the close of the War Be-
tween the States Mr.. Randall made
his home in Augusta, w2ere ne was
long engaged in journalistic work, as
editor of one or the other of the pa
pers there, and when he died in 1908.
He had lived little more than 81
years, and at the end of that time was
as pure in life as iae was poor in
purse. He had accomplished glor-
, ious consummation of pilgrimage
fuller of mortal perils to the soul than
to the body. He was devout COM
municant of the Catholic church, and
religion, with him, was more than a
mere rhapsody of words. He kept the
whiteness of his soul. His name and
memory are perpetuated on hand
some monument, with lines from My
Maryland carved on it, erected in a
conspicuous locality on the most beau
tiful street in Augusta, by the muni-
fcence of Mrs. Cole, Of Nashville,
Tenn, who was formerly Miss Russell,
of Augusta.
"I am sure the Savannah Press
would give pleasure to many of it's
readers by republishing the poem
witch placed its author, at the age Of
%, among the i'nmortals, and linked
his name forever " tn the annals OF
his beloved Southland and the cause
whose chieftaius were Robert E. Lee
and Stonewali Jackson"

COMP, GENERAL GIVES
RULING ON INCOME RETURNS

The Record, End.
/ Under the provisions of section 359
,of the code, if any person fails or
refuses to make a return of his income
for the purposes of taxation, you' as
auditor, are required to assess On ac-
count of said income tax such amount
as appear such taxpayer is liable for
from the best obtainable information
by you, either by examination OF uce
defaulting taxpayer or other evidence
YOU are to add thereto a penalty Oh
80 per cent, and charge the aggregate
upon your tax duplicate" said Carl
ton W. Sawyer, comptroller general
in a letter addressed to the auditors OF
the various South Carolina counties
Mr.. Sawyer is determined that income
tax returns will be made and there
will be no divergence from the law.
There has been prevalent opinion
among the people of the State that the
income tax law was killed by the last
legislature, but this is not so. Tne
bill passed the I3ouse, but not the
senate.
The letter says that, in order for a
nroper record to be made, the audi
tor can summon the party to be taxed
before him at date fixed in the notlce
and examine him under oath. Witness
also can be summoned. If it is found
that return should nave been MADE
and was not, costs shall be charged
against the taxpayer If the auditor
knows what the taxpayers income IS,
the party need not be put under oatn'
says Mr.. Sawyer.
The letter says:
81 desire again to call your atten-
ton to the fact that in stating the IN
come of tie taxpayer, the gross prof.
its or income from his business or
profession must be taken, less neces-
sarv expenses incurred in carrying on
such business, occupation or profess
sion. not including any remuneration
to tax 3ayer for his personal services
in the conduct of the business ana
without deducting the amounts OF any
losses of property or capital which me
may have sustained"
Oftimes, says the letter, taxpayer
+. inks himself exempt from an IN
come tax because he may have made
deductions from his gross income that
the law does not allow. For this 1ea-
son a full examination sholid be made
Mr. Sawyer advises the auditors to put
all persons examined under oath' so
