REFORMS WANT
ED FOR KOREA
Christian Missionaries in Japan
Pledge Their Support

Toxic. Dec 5.-The Christian mis-
sionaries Of Japan, through DIR. Ar-
thur Berry, of the American Metho-
dist Episcopal Mission. have pledged
their support to program OF admin
istrative reforms in Korea. These
plans were announced by DR.. Mizuno
director of Civil Affairs in the new
sovcrnment-general of Korea, at a
meeting Of 200 missionaries and other
foreigners held in the Imperial Hotel
the other day.
The missionaries also promised to
furnish criticism whenever it was be-
lieved TO be necessary. This crlt'-
cism, DR.. Berry explained is to be
friendly, constructive, optimistic and
intended to help. Baron Sakatanl
who presided, said the new watch
word in Korea today is Justice and
synpathy''in which, he said, the mis-
sionaries could render aid.
DR.. Mizuno told the missionaries
what he hoped to accomplish in 10
rea in providing equal treatment fo1
Koreans and Japanese and in edu-
catlonal and prison reforms. He an
nounced that the punishment Of Ko-
reans by fogging would be abolished.
He said it was an old Korean custom
but that Japan recognized it was al
variance with modern ideas.

Columbia, Jan. 7.-Legislators from
the 80 or more counties in South Car

peared in menacing numbers and ev-

day in 80 or more counties of the

lese. hey are being held Coz the
purpose Of giving information as %
what may be expected Of the boil Wee
vii in 1920 as we'll as to confer with
the best thought in each county and
as to the best methods Of combating
the weevil in that county.
The boil weevil has placed upon
the people of South Carolina a serious
problem It is an old story, but has
already come into the State as a-new
problem and will become more and
more serious in its nature unless we
exert all our energy to eradicate the
pest The problem is one that con-
Germs all classes Of business in South
Carolina and every individual citizen.
We must meet the problem with cour-
age and patience and in order to do
this we must resort to a more diversl-
fed farming. We must employ addi-
tional crop experts to teach the farm
ers how 70 fight the weevil in every
section where the pest appears.
This will necessitate extra ex-
Dcnses and additional revenue from
the State at large. For considering
the whole boil wcevil problem I most
respectfully invite all legislators from

ing the pest here on the afternoon of

CONDITIONS AT
STATE HOSPITAL
Says Improvement Has Been
Made in Handling Violent
Cases-Employ Women
Nurses

Columbia, JAN THAT the expert
nlent of employing women nurses IN
the male wards at the State hospital
for the insane has proven a success
is brouhgt out in the report on the
inspection of the institution made by
G.. Croft Williams. secretary Of the
State board of charities and correc-
tons.
The report Of the visit 10 the in
stitution is as follows:
'tOn November II we inspected the
State. Hospital for the Insane. At this
hospital we found many improvements
finished and many more under way.
This enormous apd most important IN
stitution is we'll managed, and de-
serves the cordial and generous sup
port of your taxpayers. On account
of the inability to employ male nurses
during the world war, the experiment
of using women nurses in male wards
became necessary. We find this eX-
pertinent success and cornmends it
self as an excellent permanent policy.
spect Of the men patients and indeed
arouse chivalry among them that is
admirable. 1t is gratifying indeed to
find in these unfortunate mental de-
linquents an inherent chivalry towards
women.
I'VE feel sure this board will be
pleased to learn that wonderful i'm
provenlent has been made at the hos
pital in managing violent cases, The
use of mechanical restraints is great
~ diminished and soothing methods
substituted. This we heartily COM
mend for it helps the patient and Sc
cures his or her cooperation. Certain
other Improvements are needed at the
hospital, but the officers are erdeav-
oring to make these as soon as pos
sible.''
