KNOCK DOWN BY LODGE.
Senator Sent Mr.. Bannwert of Dor
chester Sprawling on Tile Floor of
National Capitol.

A personal encounter between Scna.
tor Lodge of Massachusetts and Alex
ander Bannwart of Dorchester, Mass.
in which tho senator knocked his OPP
ponent down, occurred in Washington
Monday in the corridors of the cap
itol.
Bannwart, with Rev. Paul II. Drake
of Christ church, Dorchester, Mass, and
several other men and women of pacif-
list delegations called Senator Lodge to
the door of his committee room and
asked him to vote against a declara-
ton of war with Germany
Senator Lodge replied that if Prcsi-
dent Wilson asked for such a dcclara-
ton he certainly would support it,
"That is cowardicc, " rctortcd one of
"National degeneracy is worse than
cowardicc,' replied the Massachusetts
senator.
"You are a coward, " said Bannwart.
"You arc liar rctortcd Senator
Lodge. Bannwart advanced and struc X
the senator, who then, despite his 60
odd wears, launched blow that sent
Bannwart sprawling ON the hard tiles
of the corridor. Bannwart and several
of his friends were taken in charge by
the capitol police.
Bannwart told the capitol police he
was not the aggressor and eontcndcd
that Senator Lodge struck the first
blow. In other respects his story did
not differ greatly from that told by
e""'ovas i" the senator s Office. After
Senator Lodge finished with the pacifst
David b. Herman of Washington stepped
in and, according to spectators, pun
meled Bannwart, cutting several Gashcs
in his forehead and spreading blood
over his face. Bannwart was taken 10
q police station with directions that a
~ oslNnlt AGAINST Senator Lodge
be preferred against him, The other.
with him were allowed to 90.
Senator Lodge appeared on the floor
when the senate met and apparently was
no worse for his encounter Scores of
senators went over to the Massachusetts
senator's desk and shook hands with
him.
Bannwart in the police court Tues
day told the judge that President vii
son S address to congress had convinced
him the pacifists were wrong. Senator
Lodge sent word he could not leave the
senate to appear against the man and
the case was dropped after Bannwart
had expressed his regret for the Incl
dent to the court and announced his
change of heart.

velopment of the resources of the state
in this line.
The funds are already provided and
the Legislature has actually been asked
to turn these funds to other uses
which would be breach of faith with
the people who pay the bill. These
are not all the openings that are Of
fered. There are a score more that are
known and probably a hundred not
even suspected. The Legislature does
well to think of the present but we
earnestly wish it would also lift

system is modern and sufficient in all
respects.
Two Assistants Needed.
Your committee find owing to the
resignation of DIR. Ernest l.. Tracy, an
assistant physician at the Retreat, that
DR.. Lawton has, since November, 1916
had but one assistant physician; that
this assistant physician is compelled
to attend 100 or more patients cspc
cially needing the attention of a ply
stefan each day; that conditions dc
mand that at least two assistant ply
sicians be employed for the proper
care and welfare of the patients, and
your committee believe this to be the
policy of the institution.
Your committee find that under pres
ent economic conditions the cost of
maintenance to the institution per week
for each patient is $5.S4-+. The Re
treat is now under contract to the state
to board, clothc, care for, and provide
medical treatment and nursing for all
state patients that the necessities of
the state require it to take for the sum
of $4 90 per week. For the past year
there has been an average of 800 state
patients supported at the Retreat.
The Retreat claims that the deficit
arising therefrom not only preclude
the institution from making needle
changes and improvements but is i'll
volving it in debt. Although this ques
ton is foreign to the duty impose
upon the committee, yet the committc
would respectfully advise that tn
proper state department inquire into
the subject at an early date aand if
! the contention of the Retreat is well
founded make such modification of the
contract as justice requires, for the
state can afford to be just as well as
exact.
Your committee would also respect
fully recommend that the state
through its proper officials, and the Re
treat, through its trustees, cooperate
to discover some satisfactory common
ground for an agreement to the en-
that the state become trustee of the
institution; thus, while preserving the
autonomy of the Retreat, giving tn
/ state an official voice in its policy,
management and further upbuilding
without financial responsibility unless
J by special legislation
The Retreat is termed i'll law an
eleemosynary institution and may not
be owned or held by the state or by Il
corporation or by individuals for
profit The unfortunates who must be
restrained and cared for at an insane
asylum obviously are not limited to the
so-called pauper class, but come from
all conditions of life and the state is
vitally interested in the proper main
tenance and supervision of such an in
stitution.
Your committee have neglected no
! source of information. All the evi.
dencc, both for and against the Re
treat, has been carefully weighed and
contrasted and finally measured up in
the light of comparative merit and ra-
tional probability.
! Your committee recommend that in
the event it becomes the policy of the
state to enlarge it's institution at Wat.
erbury that institution be so enlarged
that all patients supported by the
state can be there cared for

into q western town and was ask
$40 for q buggy. tie replied that his
rather bought one just IKE 1t ~ years
ago tor auU. The Kansas City Star
printed the story and adued the
answer that the salesman gave the
mcnt:
A western farmer drove into town
the other day to get an old-fashioned
artIcle--a buggy-and the salesman at
the implement store showed him one
at 500.
"lallt about the high cost of liv-
ing" the farmer grumbled. 81 can
remember that my father bought u
buggy like that for 500, 20 years ago"
The salesman remember d the sale,
too, and he responded quickly:
"Your father turned in 300 bushels
of corn to pay for it.. Now, / IL do
better by you than | did by your
father. You bring in your 800 bushels
of corn and III let You pick out this
list: -
And the salesman wrote down;
One 500 buggy.
One $50 wagon.
One so suit of clothes.
One $50 dress.
One - baby dress.
One - crib.
One - box of cigars.
81 worth of sugar.
$50 worth of coffee.
81 worth of tea.
$40 worth of gasoline.
$3.50 worth of lubricating oil.
The total figured $240, the value Of
the 800 bushels of corn it had taken
to buy u 500 buggy 20 years before.
The farmer climbed back into his mo-
tor car.

said. "Scnd out that 500 buggy"

Eat Plenty of "Roughage. 4"

Magazine.)
Roughago should form part of cv-
cry meal and the quantity should be
sufficient to accomplish its purpose;
naturally some people require more
than others. Its use should begin in
child life and continue to the end of
old age.
These elemental facts should he
drilled into the mind of every child UNI
til they are understood. 1t is more
important item of education than the
multiplication table, and one that is
wholly neglected. Substantially, no one
grow to maturity with any actual
knowledge of the functions of the in
testincs or how they should be treated.
The rule herein laid down, TO eat rough
age and plenty of it, will do the work,
and just as surely as the sun will rise
in the morning it will improve the
complexion, improve the health, over.
come a universal physical fault that Is
the basic cause of bad complexion, as
well as of other and innumcrablc ills.
We must get back to first principles
and cat food as nature presents it and
as nature intended we should eat it.
Then we can throw physic to the dogs
and the desert of the human complexion
will blossom as the rose.

Failed to Find Dungeon.
(Rutland Hcrald,)

Naturally, Mrs. Hattie Guilford
failed to find the "rat .infested dun.
geon,' which she described to the com.
mittee which investigated the Brattle-
boro Retreat. II, as stated by ply
sicians, the unfortunate woman was af-
flictcd with "dcmentia praecox," the
chances are that her dclusions prevail
and that the evidence should be dis.
counted accordingly. Readers of The
Herald will remember that their atten-
ton was called to the danger of such
evidence before Mrs. Guilford testified.

BREADS DRAFT, SO
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Death Rather Than Army For
York Negro With
Ticket 258.

York, July 30.-Despondent because
ne will be summoned this week to
appear in York next Monday for en-
animation as to his fitness for army
service and dreading the idea of going
to war, John Wilson, No. 258, a negro,
of the Hoodtown section, the first per-
son in the western district of York
county to be drawn under the select
i've draft law Friday, July 90, at
tempted to commit suicide last week
by hanging himself.
Wilson, who is about twenty-five
years of age and who is said to hard
ly possess average intelligence, is in
the employ of Mr.. William Hayes, of
the Hoodtown section. 1t is under
stood that he has been worrying much
since he learned that he was the first
man draw for army duty in the
western district.
According to story told by several
negroes who live in the neighborhood
IN which Wilson resides, the negro
tied moose around his neck and was
preparing to suspend himself when
other parties interfered. That oc-
Cured early last week and since then
Wilson is said to have made two
other unsuccessful attempts to end
his life. He told several persons Fri
day that he had three balls in his
pistol and ~ am going to put one
in my wife and another in my child
and the other in myself before I let
them take me to war"
Wilson is being watched closely.
People who know him believe that
the draft and the idea of going to
war has so preyed on his mind that
he has been driven insane temporarily
least, and there is little possibility
now that he will be accepted for army
service.

women. Her oldest daughter, Caro-
line Gamble, is now living near Man
ming, being over ninety-fve years old.
The latter is the mother of twelve
children, the youngest one now living
being about forty years old. Like her
mother, Caroline Gamble has been
married only once.
Saw Her Great Great t-Grandchildren
Tisbie Thomas lived to see her
Observation-Disclosures. Her mind
was bright up to the day Of her death,
though she had been paralyzed for
about nine months. 1t is remarkable
that she was able to visit her grand
and great-grandchildren during the
last year, walking more than two
miles alone to be with them. She was
well liked by all, both white and col
ored. She had served all over this
entire country, Sumter as we'll as
Clarendon, as a midwife, hence she
had a home wherever she wished to
stop, for all knew her. From what
can be learned she was woman of
excellent character and an exemplary
Christian. Those who knew her in
tinately say it was a pleasure to con-
verse with her about the many
changes she had witnessed in Clar-
endon county, from a wilderness al
most belonging to the wild animals
to field of beauty dotted with beau
tiful homes. She remembered when
there were few public roads, with by
paths leading into them from one sec
ton to another.
Thus has passed away perhaps the
last link in this section connecting
he eighteenth with the twentieth
centuries.
