NE STATE HOSPITAL.
Tbc Care of the State's Insane During
the Past Year.
The fellowing is the annual report
?ff the board of regents of the State
Hospita; for the Insane; therein the
".enfctage *pian" for further necessary
&?3dH*g^ is vigorously urged:
To His Excellency M. B. Mcsweeney,
Governor of South Carolina.
Stn OD behalf of the board of re
sents of the State Hospital for the In
sane I i^rewith respectuflly submit to
your' excellency their annual report
for the year ending Dec. 31, 1899, to
gether with the reports of the superin
tended 2nd treasurer. .
The report of the superintendent
shows that there were under treatment
at the <-os-e of the previous year 966 j
patients, of whom 584 were white
males 24\ females 343; and 382 col
ore?!-?ples 183. females 199. There
were Emitted 415 new patients
.arhite 224; colored 191. The discharg
ed namber 397. The daily average
somber ander treatment rose from
375 to 5&8.
"Many cf these patients were ad
Tanccii ta years and in feeble health
and Beaded more than ordinary care,
she de-tails of which are brought out
in the opsrintendent's report and the
Statistical tables.
WJa?y we may well deplore the ex
istence of this ever increasing number
of the mentally afflicted in our midst,
yet we cannot evade the responsibility
placed upon us by our common hu- ,
nani ty as well as by the constitution
of the Srate to provide for them ade
quately. 'The steady growth of the in
stitution in the last 25 years has im
pose?! burdens upon us beyond the ex
pec ta: 3 OL s of our predecessors. The
number of colored insane will in a few
years exceed the white. While the
races -have always occupied sepe rate
brandings or wards yet we cannot but
rtnt'mpM the time when a wider sepa
ration on the present site than now ex
ists w:ii ne deemed necessary.
it has ever been the purpose of the
board a: regents to protect the State
from a]] unnecessary appropriations,
asking only for funds to meet imme
diate needs for both maintenance and
extraordinary expenses, such as new
buildings. Were it in our power we
should much prefer to keep the insti
tution within its present capacity. If
we arc- to judge of the future by the
demands of the past, however, this
wili be impossible. The coming years
will ono increase the need of accom
modations for yet larger numbers of
patien:.-.
In deming with her charitable in
stitutions :?S with other vital ques
tions no progressive commonwealth
should be satisfied with temporary
makeshifts. These subjects demand j
-a<>: only consideration for to-day but ;
also provision fer to-morrow. We j
mus: adjust our present plans to meet i
so far as possible, future needs.
lt is the opinion of the regents that
our hospital has now reached a stage
in Us Development that requires such
mort?n, anon? as will provide means
for ? better classification of its pa
tients including isolation of those suf
fering from communicable diseases.
Henceforward it should be our pur
pose in 'leterming upon building plans
ro arrange separate cottages rather
than add io the already too large cen
tral sira.'tures. That is, the institu
tion should henceforth be developed
upon the "cottage plan" rather than j
by additions to the ''conglomerate" j
building that have been erected in the
past.
Among our present needs the most
urgent ;^re accommodations for con
valescent and quiet white men, for the
excitea class cf white women, and for
the consumptive among our colored
patients: besides provision for sepa
rating ai- epileptics from the insane,
and a noir bakery. Th?s? subjects are
minutely discussed in the superintend- !
en-fs report to which we respectfully ?
refer you. !
In the matter of special legislation
we woikd ask your excellency's .i+tv.n- j
tion to tre better Development of the !
system^of county poor houses and the j
con.??,!? ranon*of the matter of "settle? j
* mem' by which it would be better es- j
tablishf-d who may claim 'beneficiary ?
support in the State Hospital. Our j
3aws ?could also be more specific in j
rhe rs.-itter of dea.?ir>jr w.u.ii in^hnaMc !
and tn? vriminal insane. During the
prevalence of an epidemic disease it
is ?also recommended that for the pro- j
section of the ?patients in the hospital i
the right of quarantine against the in- \
fected territory be entrusted to the |
governor, the chairman of the State j
board of health and the president ol j
the regents.
Tue appropriations made at the last
session of the general assembly have
been judiciously and economically ex
pended by the resident officers of the
jiospiial under the direction of the re
sents and the vouchers of such ex
penditures have been submitted to the
legislative committee appointed for
that purpose.
The institution has grown so large
That the repairs made necessary by or
dinary wear and tear have become a
considerable drain upon our mainten
ance fund. To keep up these repairs
and make some of the improvements
?wt have recommended will require
?bom $10.000.
We recognize that many needs aro
pressing upon the State and under
present conditions we would not ask
Shit all the improvements herein sug- j
gifted be made in one year, but wc
earnest iv invite your excellency's at
tention to the mos. urgent.
JD soire of Drevailing bisher prices
for food stuffs and other necessary
supplies the board is pleased to report i
practically the same per capita as last i
year-1102.25.
The treasurer's balance is also es- j
sentially the same as last year. These j
two facts serve to show that the es- j
timaies upon which are pased our re- !
quests for appropriations for the hos- j
p&al are made upon business princi
ples and that under the direction of
the board the resident officers make
<everw effort to keep the expenses of
the institution within the appropria
tions. UDon the same basia as here
tofore we ask for the expenses for the
coming year:
For maintenance.$100,000
For debt^on Wallace property
&n? interest. 4,360
For repairs and permanent im
provements. 10,000
For regents. 1,200
Requesting from your ex-eelcluna:C
.Requesting from your excellency the
iearty interest and co-operation in the
welfare of the institution which it has
received at your hands heretofore, we
beg to remain.
Very respectfully,
B. W. TAYOR, M. D.

.Hospital for the Insane.
TBE NATIONAL LAW MAKERS.
What Congress is Doing From Day to
?ay.
The Senate.
Seventeenth Day-Senator Hoar, ot
Massachusetts, introduced a resolution
asking the President to furnish the'
Senate with all communications receiv
ed from Aguinaldo or any one repre
senting the Filipinos or any alleged au
thority of the people there and our
replies thereto; the proclamation sent
to the Philippine people and the same
as actually proclaimed by General Otis
if in any way altered, together with in
formation whether such change was
approved, and the President is also
asked to forward without delay all in
formation he has of the forms of gov
ernment, proclamations or conventions
of those islands. Mr. Hoar sought im
mediate consideration, but on objec
tion went over.
Senator Rawling. of Utah, has intro
duced a resolution directing the Phil
ippine committee of the House to re- ]
port on what form of government other ;
than the Spanish, existed in the Philip- !
pines prior to December 10, 1898, and to j
what extent Spain had actual control j
o! the islands. Also whether sovereign
power can be justly and in accordance ;
with international law claimed in the ;
absence of power of control.
Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, offered reso- |
lution calling upon the Secretary of j
War for complete information as to ;
the transport service. It was adopted, j
The Senate, at 4 o'clock adjourned.
Eighteenth Day-The day was spent '
in hearing eulogies on the life and !
character of. vice-President Hobart, j
Many Senators paid eloquent tribute's !
to his memory, after which the Senate j
adjourned.
Nineteenth Day.-A spirited and at
times sensational debate was precipi
tated in the Senate on the Philippine j
question over resolutions of inquiry, j
Mr. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, at
tacked the administration's policy in
the Philippines and also made some !
I startling charges against those who j
! were supporting the administration, j
He declared that a systematic effort
j was being made to prevent accurate in
formation from reaching the people of
! the United States and that it was a
political scheme to further the candi
dacy of Mr. McKinley for re-nomina
j ti on and re-election. Before adjourn
ment, the Senate, after prolonged de
bate, passed the bill conferring powers
upon the directer of the census.
Twentieth Day.-The Senate held a ;
brief session, devoted principally to a !
discussion of the reply of England on
the seizure of American flour. After j
a short executive session the Senate
adjourned.
Twenty-First Dav.-The Senate com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
continued the investigation of charges
against Senator Clark of Montana. M.
L. Hewett, a miner who wa> in Helena :
during the session of the Legislature j
in 1899, said that Charley Clark had j
asked him to see Senator Myers and
offer him $10,000 for his vote for Mr. ;
Clark for Senator. He had according- j
ly taked with with Mr. Myers and tes
tified that that gentleman had told
him after first declining the proposi
tion to say to Clark that if he was dis
posed to do so he could put the $10,000
in the hands of Mr. Whiteside to be
paid to him (Myers) in case he should
vote fer Mr. Clark. Hewett said that
the Senator's son stated that this ar
rangement waa satisfactory and had
afterward told him that the money for
Myers had been given to Whiteside and j
that his vote was assured.
The witness said that he had seen i
the Senator at his home at the Helena j
Hotel a short time after the Whiteside j
exposure and had asked him what he I
proposed to do, when the Senator re
plied:
"There is only one thing to do and ?
that is LO make the people bcliev that j
the Daly gang have furni-hed the mon
ey and have put up a conspiracy :
against us."
Concluding his testimony Mr. Hew
ett said he had received no pay for his |
services from Mr. Clark and r.o prom
ise of any. He had been interested j
with the Senator in a mining company j
and preferred him to his opponents.
Thc House.
Eighteenth Day.-Miscellaneous bus
iness of minor importance occupied the ;
attention of the House until 10 o'clock
after which an hour was devoted to !
eulogies upon the life and public, ser
vices of the late Representative Green
of Nebraska. Mr. Kitchen, of North '
Carolina was among the speakers. The
House then adjourned. j
Ninteen til Day-But little business of j
importance was done by the House. !
The session was brief.
Twentieth Day.-The House commit- J
tee on inter-state and foreign com
merce ordered a favorable report upon |
the Hepburn bill for the construction
of the Nicaraguan canal. The sesson
of the House occupied just 20 min
otes. j
Twenty-First Day.-The session of the |
House was of brief duration and noth
ing of interest transpired to break the j
monotony of the proceedings.
- ? -
So satisfactory has been the test j
in a portion of Carroll County, Md.,
of the '.post-office on wheels" that l
the ?department has decided to ex
tend the system over the whole of j
the county. As has been told, the
idea is that of Edwin Shriver of j
Westminster, Md., it being an appli- j
cation of the raL'soad post-office sys- j
tem. One wagon has been running ;
for some months, and three more |
?ire to be added soon. At ce rta*'u
points these delivery wagons will be
met by smaller conveyances, which ,
will cover the country between the j
most divergent points of the four j
great arteries of the system. Within j
the next few weeks sixtv-three fourth
class post-offices in the county will
be closed, and twenty-five star-route i
contracts will be abrogated. The
compensation of these post-masters
amounts to $5,200 per year, and the j
star-route contractors received $5,100. j
Against this aggregate of $10,300 ;
saved, the new system, as now organ- !
ized, will cost ?1*4,500, so tlxat until !
more post-offices are abolished and j
star-routes wiped ont, the service will j
cost the government $4,200 more than
it is now paying these postmasters j
and star-route contractors. But there
will be more post-offices closed. The j
new service will before the end of the j
year cost far less than is now paid to
postmasters and contractors.

RAGE GLEANINGS.
Things to Think About.
You can not afford to do a thing
poorly. You are more injured in
shirking your work ar half-doing a joh
than the man for whom you are work
ing.
Do not think that Mfe consists of
dress and show. Remember that one's
life is measured by the power that that
individual has to make the world bet
ter.
Lay hold on something that will help
you, and then use it to help somebody
else.
Show me a person who merely does
as a duty what he is asked to do, and
I will show you a person who is never
in constant demand-a person who is
not goin^ to be very valuable to hu
manity.
A person can not succeed in any
thing without a good sound body-a
body that is able to stand up under
hardships, that is - able to endure. A
great many of our young men. espe
ciallyin the larger cities, undermine
their constitutions, and to a great ex
tent throw away their usefulness, be
cause they do not understand ?how to
take care of their bodies. Do not keep
late hours. Have a time to go to bed,
and enough self control to say to these
who persuade you to dissipate: "My
time for rest has come, and you must
excuse me."
Learn all you can. but learn to do
something, or your learning will be
.useless.
You will gain a great deal, if in all
the work that you perform, whether
cleaning a lawn, laying off a furrow,
building a ' chest, drawing a plan or
studying a lesson, you are perfectly
conscientious. If you choose these
three lines on which to rest your lives
-truthfulness, honesty, and conscien
tious performance of duty, your future
success is assured.
A person must be able to earn his
living before he can be of much bene
fit to himself and the community in
which he lives.
If you are at the head of a stable or
barn, plan day by day how best to pro
vide for your horses and cows. When
you make yourself master of these
humble positions, you will find that
the higher calls will rome to you.
It is not very hard to find a perron
who will speak good and kind words
and be unselfish when speaking be
fore an audience, but the way to test
a person's real character is to notice
his treatment of those wno come into
daily contact with him how he speaks
to his companions when his voice ?
not heard by the public.
It is a'good practice for a person to
;:et in rhe habit of making an exam
ination ol' himself day by day. to see
to what extent his thoughts have dwell
cn those things which are high and
to what oxrent he has permitted him
self to yield to thc temptation cf being
low. in his thoughts and imaginations, j
There is no better test by which you
can judge a person's culture, civiliza
tion, or whatever you may call it. so
quickly or so accurately, as by the way
ii? which that person respects author
ity and obeys orders.
Tlie average boy usually has the idea
thai, ii" he were just somewhere else. !
in another State or in contact with
somebody else, he would succeed., for
getting too ofrea to 'utilize the forces
that are about him and in hand.
Get hold of tin* spirit of helping
somebody else, Seek every opportunity
io make somebody happier and more
comfortable. Xever get to the point
where you will be ashamed to ask any
body for information. The ignorant

The boy who gce? to school with no ?
special plan, who has no time to study
this or that, who has no regular hour

cr active a mind he has. succe.-s can
only come by planning work.
1 have often thought, specially when
traveling from city to city through
r?ie North, what a good thing it would
be to establish a chair in some streng
university for the art of scrubbing.
Yes. the common, homely art of scrub
bing. Seldom do we see clean floors;
the art seems to have passed away.
If you want to put yourself in de- j
mand, make up your mind that you I
are going to give as few excuses as j
possible.
If you are milking cows and feel that
you know all that there is to be j
known abeu: it, you have simply reach- ?
ed the point where you are useless and f
unfitted for the work.

It is not very hard to find people ;
who will thoroughly clean a room that i
is going to be occupied, or wash a dish
that is to be handled by strangers, but
it is a hard thing to find a person who
will do a thing right when the eyes of ?
the world is not likely to rest upon
whatever is done. The cleaning of ;
rooms has a great deal to do with for
ming one's character.-Booker T. Wash

Which Is Correct?
Two men were holding a heated ar
gument as to the correct pronunciation
of the word "either." After much dis- ?
cussion they agreed to seek the opin
ion of an Irishman who was present. |
"T say it should be pronounced ee- j
ther," said the first. "And I contend
that it should be i-tiaer," argued the j
second. "Now, Pat. which is it?" "It's
nay-ther," was Pat's bland reply.

It's too risky, this
gambling with your
cough. You take the
chance of hs wear
ing off. Don't !
The first thing
you know it will be
down deep in your
lungs and the game's
lost* Take some of
Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral and stop the
gambling and the
cough.
?'I was given up to die with
quick consumption. I ran down
from 138 to 98 pounds. I raised
t>!ood, and never expected to get
off my bcd alive. I then read of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and began
its use. I commenced to improve
ni once. I am now back to my
old weight and in the best of
health."-CHAS. E. HARTMAN,
Gibbstown, N. Y., March 3, 1899.

You can now get Ayers
Cherry Pectoral in a 25 cent
size, just right for an ordinary
cold. The 50 cent size is bet
ter for bronchitis, croup, whoop
ing-cough, asthma, and the grip.
The dollar size is best to keep
on hand, and is most econ?mica! I
for long-standing cases. ?

Hands and Limbs Covered with Blisters and
Great Red Blotches. Scratched Until Almost
Wild. Burned Like Fire. Sleep Impossible.
CUTICURA Remedies Bring Speedy Relief
and a Permanent Cure at a Cost of Only $2.
I was a sufferer for eight years from that most distressing of
all diseases, Eczema. I tried some of thc best physicians in the
country, but they did mc little
good. The palms of my hands
v ere covered and would become
inflamed ; little white blisters at
first would appear, then they
would peel off, leaving a red,
smooth surface which would burn
like fire and itch ; well, thea- is
no name for it. On thc inside
of the upper part of both my
limbs great red blotches, not
$h unlike hives, would appen:', and
p as soon as I became warm thc
ff: burning and itching would begin.
WM} Night after night I would lie
ftHi* awake all night and scratch and
?fr almost go wild. I heard of Cl/Tl
cuRA REMEDIES, got them and
gave them a thorough trial, and after a few applications I noticed
the redness and inflammation disappear. Before I had used
one box there was not a sign of Eczema left. I can truthfully
Issert that $2.00 worth of C?TICUR? REMEDIES cured mc.
ere has been no sign of its return anywhere upon my body
sirtS I wrote you I wa? cured, nearly four years ago Hardly a
mollh passes but what I receive a letter or some one calls and
to know how I got cured, if I had Eczema bad, and il
has been permanent, etc., etc. I always take pleasure in
