tions, held that in The absence Of a
specific statue relatives of patients
at the State hospital. unless in the
case of husband for his wife or a
father for his dependent unmarried
child, could not be held legally liza
bic for their support, but that the
board of regents of the hospital had
the right to refuse to admit as
beneficiary patient any person whose
relatives, in its Judgment, were
financially able to pay, either in
whole or in part, for his or her sup
port.
Consequently, Mr.. Ch"eitzberg will
make an investigation O the finan-
cial status Of relatives of p.tients at
the State hospital, as well rs that Of
the patients them selves. His reports
will go to the board Of regents Of the
State hospital.

Card From Mr.. Hudson.

There are about l2 families be-
tween the creek and river that have
been working all their lives for
their homes and now will have to
leave them, and no where to go,
and nothing to go with on account
of tie Georgia Carolina power COM
pany.
They have misrepresented things
to us and have backed their water
all over the timber and caused all
of us to be sick, one not able to
wait on the other.
[ do hate to see my neighbors all
down and cannot help them. 1t looks
so sad when they come to me to
get me to sign the last option |
told them did not want to sign it,
l was afraid 1T would make it sick
ly and they told me if l would sign
option that they would have to
clear the timber of: clean, that the
beard of health would not let them
back the water on the timber on
account of health and then we sign
ed the option.
Now I wonder where the board
of health is. Our state has one l
know, but it seems that they don't
pay any attention to it. Some of our
neighbors wrote them and they say
they cannot do anything about it,
if that is the case .hen our people
had better turn them out and save
that much taxes. II is no use for our
people to be taxed for a board of
health if they cannot act when the
people are in distress and it looks
like they will all die. 1t looks hard
for a rich company to drive us
away from our homes for nothing,
and no where to go, just put us in
the road with nothing, aud all sick.
We expect to appeal to our govern
ment and see if our government
has a board of health or not, and
also our state and if they have we
want to know what they are for if
they cannot do anything. Why not
do away with them we are ruined.
And will have to appeal to our
people for justice as our poor faml-
lies are all down sick, and have TAX
en- medicine a long time and it does
not do any good.
We will have to go away from
our homes and have nothing to buy
another with. l thought our board
of health had great power as they
can stop trains by quarantine, and
also large cities and stop people
with their power and if 30 why not
stop the great power company az
they have brought great damages
and distress on US.
Also we have about 80 families
of tenants and we will lose all of
them and it will ruin US and our
property that the power company
has not paid one cent for.
I write for information as to our
board of health as we are all in
great distress.
