HOSPITAL FOR INSANE.

Sweeping changes have been made
in the staff of physicians at the State
Hospital for the Insane. The new
superintendent, DR.. C. Fred Williams,
has announced. the appointment Of
number of new physicians. 1t is said
that the new administration promises
to be a very progressive one and that
everything that can possibly be done
for the benefit of the States afflicted
ones will be done.
The recommendations made by DR..
A! P. Herring, the Maryland expert,
are being carried out as far as posi-
ble South Carolina owes it to her
self to take the best care possible of
her inmates and we believe tie people
of the State will endorse the steps that
have been taken.-Spartanburg Her
aid.
When changes were made in the
medical staff during the Blease admin
istration it was all on account of poll
tics according to the newspapers IN
friendly to Blease. Now when sweep
ing changes are made in the medical
staff it is on account Of the progress
siyeness of tae administration OF the
institution We have no complaint to
make at the sweeping changes but
only mention it to keep the record
straight.
DR.. Herrings report contained moth
ing that had not been called to the
attention of the legislature number
OF times before by men who were in
charge of the institution. Except pos
sibly that DR.. Herring recommended
certain Improvements on the property
in Columbia which had been recon-
mended be made on the new property
in the country.
1t will be a great waste of the pub
lie money to spend a half million or
more on the Columbia property after
as much money has already been
spent in the country. There is now
a laundry ready for equipment in the
country sufficiently large to supply ali
the needs of the institution for years
to come. Why build one in Columbia :?
If it is the purpose to move tie insti-
tuition to the country why not build a
colony or two each year, as was the
expressed purpose Of previous legisla-
lures, and move the patients to the
country? If the modern idea is as Dr.
Williams truthfully and correctly says
to get rid of the prison idea and fur
nish employment for the patients, why
spend more money on prisons in Co.
lumbia? Why not spend the money on

We have had no response from our
bankers to our proposition in Fri
day's Medium. We have been told by
others tat it is a good scheme and
we have had our attention called to
the offer of the Anderson bank. The
idea is to loan boys money with which
to purchase pure breed hogs and cat
tie, in order to encourage the indus
try.-Abbeville Medium.
The Herald and News few issues
ago quoted the proposition of the An
derson bank. 1t is the proper way to
encourage thrift, and the young men
to remain on the farm. 1t would be
a good investment and We believe any
young man who would accept such a
proposition would refund the money
advanced and the banker that inaug-
urated 1t would not lose anything but
would do great service to his coun-
ty and his State. By loaning the money
for such a purpose and placing the
borrower on mis- honor and his man
hood We believe that ali OF them would
repay and it would encourage better
citizenship. Sometimes when you place
man on his honor and lis manhood
he will feel greater obligation to
pay than when you tie him up in all
sorts of mortgages and endorsements.
Suppose some of our banks try the
sc1eme. We say banks because their
business is to lend money.

country for what was written and not
Mr.. Bryan. If he should undertake
to stump the country just at this time
to create a public sentiment to his
way of thinking it would be even in
worse taste, to say the least Of it. For
tunately for the country the people
nave confidence in Mr.. Wilson and the
Bryan resignation has had no effect
one way or the other so far as We
can see.
In many of the positions taken by
Mr.. Bryan We heartily agree but it is
tie duty of every American to upaold
the hands of the administration at this
time A man in Mr.. Bryan's position
should not undertake to rock the
boat" in the midst of the stream.
1t is possibly we'll that Mr.. Bryan
has gotten out of the cabinet. 1t is
scarcely possible for two men of so
strong minds as Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Bryan to agree, and it is important
that the president and his secretary
of state in crisis like is before the
country now Should be in accord.
We do not believe that Germany is
going to agree to cease her submarine
warfare. 1t could scarcely be expect
ed that she would, as We see it, but
still We believe that some way will
be found for the United States to keep
out of the quarrel and for peace to
be maintained between the United
States and Germany.
We agree with Mr.. Bryan that
American citizens have no right to be
taking passage on ships of the belli-
gerents, and taen expect d3at the
United States will protect them, es-
pecially when these ships are carry
ing munitions of war Why should the
Germans be expected to let these mu-
nitions get to their enemies, if they
can prevent it even by the use of the
submarine.
1t is pleasing to know however that
the resignation OF Mr. Bryan has caus-
ed no excitement in this country and
it is all because of the confidence the
people have in President Wilson to do
the right thing and to keep his head.

"AS YE SOW"
PhOtOplay With Alice Brady to be
Shown at Opera House Tuesday,
June D.

The World Film Corporation five act
photoplay based on the famous Wm.
A. Brady production GAS Ye Sow
which was written by clergyman,
the Rev. John Snyder, was produced
with great success ten years ago.
Alice Brady in tbs film mas a part
which will unquestionab,y establish
her reputation as screen actress.
Ills part is that of Dora, the woman
who suffers and endures' of the play.
The daughter of a wealthy man she
marries good looking young fellow
from the country vino ilas made an
auspicious start in New York business
life. Having won the girl by trickery
he proceeds to reveal baseness of
disposition which makes the life of his
young wife a terrible burden. He be-
comes a drunkard and ill-treats is
wife and baby child. Dora resents his
cruelty and he robs her Of the child,
surreptitiously conveying it to lis
mother and then, himself, going away
to sea on a fishing schooner.
Dora, bereft of husband and child,
becomes prey to grief. S e is in all
essentials widow, for the news
comes that her vicious young hus
band was drowned at sea. Fresh suf-
ferings await the girl, calling for tie
display of sustained emotional power
On the part of Miss Brady. Conceal
ing her identity sne makes her way
to the fishing village where her Eus-
band was born; becomes the paying
guest of his mother; recognizes her
own child; and excites tie love of
her husbands brother, now clergy
man.
These poignant situations make this
p otoplay a drama of strong heart
interest, and keep Miss Brady at her
tensest as an emotional actress.
Dora's troubles are about to recon-
mence with undiminished severity.
Her husband married her under
false name, so she is in ignorance of
his relatives. And in this state of ig-
norance she lends a willing ear to
the wooings of the Rev. John ST.. John,
her late husbands brot3er. The we'd
ding ceremony is about to take place
when storm at sea arises; a ship
in distress is sighted; there is call
to man the life-boat, and Dora's fan
Gee volunteers. Amongst the rescued
there is Dora's legal husband, Frank.
The drama enters upon its third
episode when Dora's sufferings reach
their climax. Frank re-asserts lis
claim to wife and child; grows jeal-
Gus of mis- brother and once more be-
comes a drunkard. One of his New
York reprobate companions appears to
demand money. There is quarrel and
both men are killed.
The sinful man has reaped as he
has sowed and like so many of his
kind has made others suffer for his
misdeeds, particularly tie fond girl
who married him. Dora Leland, in
the hands of Alice Brady, will with
out doubt win the sympathies of the
millions of women and girls who look
at World Films.
The shipwreck; the life of the Mas
sachusetts fishing village; tie scenes
in New York, make fine opportunities
for the producer to offer some strik-
ing sets and effects.

WINNSBORO TRAGEDY.

The tragedy at Winnsboro on Mon
day by which the sheriff of the coun-
ty lost his life and the negro in his
charge was killed and also one OF the
assailants shot down was not the act
of a mob, but seems to nave been the
deliberate act of few men bent on
having revenge.
Sheriff Hood had thwarted the ef-
forts to lynch the negro in the first
instance when the horrible crime was
committed, and the determination
was made never to let him go to trial.,
and to carry out that determination
a few men met tie officers under the
very portals of the temple Of justice
and put that purpose into effect.
1t was an assassination. There are
numerous eye witnesses who are will
ing to testify and ir that it differs
from the mob where all are met for
the same purpose and none will give
evidence. Arrests have been made and
the guilty parties will be put on trial,
but that will not restore the life of
Sheriff Hood who died in the dis
charge of his duty.
The terrible crime of which the
negro brute had been guilty had no
doubt crazed the men who were near
and dear to his victim and they deter
mined to make him forfeit his life at,
any cost. And the cost is a fearful
one. So, much better after they did
not get him in the first instance to
have let the law take its course.
He would soon have gone to the
electric chair. We do not mean to say
that the negro should have been
Iynched, but it would have been bet
ter to have lynched him than to have
Tad the tragedy that was enacted on
Monday.
1t may not be right, but somehow
when we read of the outrage of some
pure woman by one of these human
brutes, before we are too severe in
our condemnation of the man who
takes the law in his own hands we feel
like asking what would you do if it
had been your wife that had suffered
the outrage at the hands of the brute,
and how would you feel. 1t is easy
to stand off and condemn the other
fellow and talk about the majesty Of
the law, but somehow we feel that
these brutes in human form should
be treated just as we would treat a
rabid dog. In this case the sad part
is that some good and innocent citi-
zens nave lost their lives. But these
men had made no secret of what they
intended to do and it was known.
They were crazed at the outrage which
they and their loved one had suffer
ed and why should they not have been
arrested before tie negro was taken
to the court room. OF course, their
act was an outrage against the ma
jesty of the law, and they should have
let the law take its course. But we
have no doubt that the only victim
they wanted was the negro. If Sheriff
Hood had not fired on Isenhower after
he shot the negro 1senhower would
not have fired on the sheriff.

a campaign of reform in that city,
Mayor Edward White, who is a

but nevertheless worked his way
through. AS result Fort Lees en-

He secured all his schooling in this
city and when but lad he secured
his first position at the Perth Amboy
Terra Gotta Works. Later he be-
came a timekeeper for contractor
and then took up drafting at the
Ramsay Shipbuilding Works. He
next became assistant to City Sur
veyor William Rowson, though but

The Postponed Council Meeting

At the Friday Monday, double re-
cess meeting of the Cliffside Park
Council, two very important prob
the Cliffside Park Edgewater sewer
outlet agreement, and the appeal of
Proprietor Schenck, of the Palisades
Amusement Park, to have his license
which was recently increased, by
ordinance, to $1,000, reduced again
to its original figure of $500.
At Fridays meeting, the copy of
the Edgewater agreement, or resolu-
ton, passed upon by them was re-
read This provided for the repair
ing by Edgewater of the present box
sewer of the Corn Products Company
at the expense of the former, but
aided by contribution of 81 900 from
Cliffside Park, also the constructing
of the sewer foundation from River
road east to the mouth of the box
sewer by and at the expense of Cliff
side Park. In addition to this, the
latter was to construct and pay for
Edgewa ter's cast iron outlet for this
distance.
An agreement was then read by
Attorney AgneW, drawn up by nm
self and Attorney Wright, of Edge
water, cmbodying essentially the ar
ticles of the former agreement, but
allowing for the substitution by Edge
water of 72-inch cast iron pipe for
the present box sewer; also providing
for the securing by Edgewater of the
consent of abutting property owners
to the constructing of the joint sewer
outlet through Edgewaer lana.
Councilman Sammis asked that a
clause be inserted in the agreement,
allowing for the constructing at some
later date of a storm water sewer.
At Mondays meeting, new devel-
opment in the agreement occurred
when it was found that the Corn
Products Company and the Henry j.
Hemmons Company desired to be a
party to a new e-cornered agree
ment.

COUNCIL MEETING
Continued from page 1 }

sending of a check for $500 to the
borough clerk in the dead of winter,
and long before the license was due.
1t looked rather funny. Mr.. thinner
mann said to stand by the law. Mr..
Flood asked was it right to treble
the license in one year? Mr.. Cadien
thought that the councilman looked
at the matter in wrong light; that
it's advantages to the borough did not
balance it's disadvantages. Mr.. Flood
said that too drastic action might
drive the people away altogether. Mr..
Zimmerman said that we did not
want them. Look how the property
in the section near the Park had
deteriorated, and how building there
was at stand STILL The councilman
told of personal encounters with
"tough guys" in the Park zone, and
of his repulse of group of them one
night, when he had told them to "git,
quick"
Mr.. Hoeckelberg would be willing
to vote for reduction of the license
fee if the maker and seconder of the
ordinance were; but as they evidently
were not, he would stand by his
former decision.
Mr.. Sammis said that the councils
action had not been a hasty one, but
was only taken after a petition had
been signed and presented by citizens
of the borough. He would leave the
ordinance unchanged. The same
"kick" was made when the license was
raised to $500 some years ago.

PALXSADE WINS
FIRST GAME WITH
HlGHWOOD CLUB

The new Palisade Baseball Club
won its first game of the season last
Saturday in a contest with the fast
Hlghwoods. 1t was nip and tuck
affair, with Brady and Doyle cover
ing the points for Palisade for the
first seven innings, Greer going in to
pitch in the eighth. Both Palisade
pitchers were effective, and had they
had proper support they would
have had no more than two runs
scorned against then, all others
more than two runs scored, all others
being unearned. Logan, playing at
third injured himself in the fifth and
retired IN favor of Leon Reuhmann
who played one inning and then gave
way to Duncan McClave. Few games
seen in Palisade at any time have
ever been more full of thrills. First
one team had the advantage, then
the other. From the fifth to the
tenth inning there were several ties,
then the Highwoods made three runs
IN the seventh, going one ahead. Pail
SADIE came in for its half OF this
inning and went into another tie at
seven all. The tie continued till the
ninth, then went into the tenth, when
Highwood again made run, and Pail
sade had tough going till their half
OF the same inning, when with two
down, Palisade scored the winning
run at time when her chances
looked exceedingly slim. Duncan Nc
Clave got his base on an error by
Swenson at second, but went out at
second when the short stop threw him
n nNxy1o,e ~
stole second, and came in on Ropes
single to left, taking second on the
throw in. Greer went out on a rap
to short who threw to first, Ropes
going to third. John McClave then
threw out his chest bit, and slid a
hot one past short for a single, and
Ropes roped in the winning talley
amid the shouts of the fine crowd
that was out. The last Inning was
some noise, the small boy contingent
being loud, good natured and full of
yells.
The Highwood club is not the same
as last year. Manager Blankenhorn,
who managed the boys last season,
has taken the Tenafy club in hand
this year and left a lot of youngsters
that are of the best promise. They
played good team-club game in
Palisadc, and but for little bit Of
unnecessary kicking, have all that is
becoming in behavior. There is moth
ing that is worse for New Jersey base
ball than the tendency to be all the
time rowing over the rules of the
game. Highwood should leave the
arbitration of rules on the field out
of their play. They will, no doubt,
give good account of themselves be-
fore the season is out. The material
is all there.
Logan, who was expected to add
strength to the Palisade team, was
compelled to retire in the fourth
inning an account of the injury to a
ligament in one of his legs. But he
did lot to help the spirit of the
game along by his coaching.
There was little kicking at the
umpiring, though Highwood proved
rather hard loser. 1t was a good
game to look at, and Palisades win
greatly pleased everybody. The score:
