SIXTEEN MEET Death IN

All Victims Ran Back Into Old

Been Removed

COLUMBIA, S. c., May 29.-Sixteen
white male patients at the South Caro-
lima hospital for the insane have per-

story frame structure on the hospital
grounds this morning shortly alter

burned TO death in the building, haV-

after they had been taken to place OF
safety by rescuers. The other dead man
was rescued from the building a second

| injuries from which he died few hours
| later Four other patients are more OF
less seriously injured.
There were forty-five patients sleep

Guilty was experienced il saving them.
The building was a very old one ana
proved an easy prey to the Ilames'
which spread so rapidly that by the
time the fire department reached the
scene the building was doomed
Hospital authorities stated that every
natient in the ward was removed, but
that most of them ran back into the
burning building. Efforts of the nurses
and attendants to hold all of them back
proved unavailing.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The only explanation advanced thus far
| is that il originated from detectlNe VIII

the building was a veriCable "firetrap.
1t adjoined one of the main buildings OF
the asylum, in which there were sew
eral hundred patients. These were all
removed. as this building was at one
time endangered.
Hospital authorities refused to give
out the casualty list, acting upon advice
of Governor Manning.

FEW CENTS DESTROYS
YOUR DANDRUFF AND
STOPS FALLING HAIR
Save your hair! Make it Thick,
Wavy and beautiful
try this!

Thin. brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp: of dandruff-that awful Scurf.
There is nothing so destructive 20
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre. its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feVeriSh-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast A little DaEderins
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a small box of Knowlton's DAD
derine from any drug store or toilet
counter, and after the first application
your hair will take on that life. lustIe
and luxuriance which is so beautiful.
1t will become wavy and fluffy and have
the appearance of abundance, an tncom-
parable gloss and softness; but whnt
will please you most will be after just n
few weeks use, when you will actually
see a lot of fine, downy hair-new ha'r
growing all over the scalp.

.HARDWICK WILL OPEN
HIS CAMPAIGN ON JULY |
Candidate Declares Duties in
Senate Will Permit Him
to Leave Then
ny THEODORE ruLER

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Hardwick today decided that he would
wait until July 1 to begin his cam
paign in Georgia In regard thereto,
he gave out the following statement:
Until recently l had confidently ex-
pected that congress would adjourn on
or about July / next.
Now it appears that the necessity to
pass a revenue bill during the present
session will prevent adjournment on
that day.
1T is reasonably certain, however,
that all the important business before
congress, except the revenue bill, will
be disposed of by July l and that the
senate, while nominally in session after
that date will have little to do until
the revenue bill is reported to 1t, which
will probably be in the late summer OF
early fall. Under these circumstances
[ can without neglect of official duty
begin my canvass OF the state on OF
about July /, and it is my purpose to
do so.
"I shall canvass the state thoroughly
and shall render to its people a truth
ful and accurate account of my stew
ardship. | shall answer every SIAN
der, expose every lie, and shall let the
people know the whole truth about the
campaign of yillification, misrepresenta-
tion abuse and calumny that has been
so lndustriously and persistently wag-
ed against me for the purpose of mis-
leading and deceiving the people.
Conscious of the justice of my cause
and of the correctness of my positions
if this country of ours is to remain a
free country, l have neither doubt MOI
fear of other than a successful out
come of the campaign.
