As lie reached the expVoss car he i heard indiscriminate shooting, lie wont I on to the baggage e.ir to find out what ! the trouble was. The baggagemaster had his door locked, lie tlxn stepped i into the vestibule of the express enr ! next and saw three, men pass directly ! by shooting and cursing and calling to j "Mike" and "Pat" to cut the eoiches t loose.

Heiv i* tht? report: , To the Hoard of Nejunttf: In accordance with law and custom I j hereby present the 7Sth annual report , of the hospital for t lie year ending j lU'eeinber 31, 1001. An examination of the statistical la t bit s accompanying this report show* j the steady increase in population v.irch has characterised the history of the in-,' st it ut lop i\> i* several y^trs. The in crease In the daily average number !i;\ -t been twenty-five ( > . the total admis sions four hundred and fifty-nine t \ i, ami the total under treatment fomW< 1 hundred and niuety-thrco tl,H)">. 'i he most serious obstacle to tho op eration of the institution haa been tho frequent occurrence of smallpox in oar waids. Since its llrst int ro.lm l ion hero thirty-two (J-) cases In all haw ap peared. and while most of them have been mild, the usually serious natu'.e of the disease has added much to tho anxiety of those intrusted with the eaoi and protection of the patients. i5o litHy has tho seriousness or the situation here. been appreciated outside the i'irt j tution, and So little cooperation has | born Riven In tho way of vaccination of new patient# before admission, t -i rs t at times absolute quarantine hr.s seemed necessary. Fortunately, how ever. this step lias b?en avoided and the year closes with the absence of small pox from our midst. In May and Juno ?u unusuri number of eases of typhoj I fever developed. So far as Investiga tion discloses it* origin tho epidomie probably originated in the 'drinking of water from old wells previously above suspicion and now abandoned- The continuej prevalence of ^tuberculosis anions our patients, and especially among tho negroes, serves to empha size the opinion expressed in former reports that the only method of proper ly handling cases of this malady in overcrowded asylums is by as ..rigid isolation as can b? obtained. In build ings now available ii has been impos sible properly to segregate our con sumptive*. This problem is a serious >ne and demands a bettor solution than ban been given it hero and elsewlinv. If we may learn, from the history of this hospital diirlng.the SO years of it1* existence, and more especially from the j cxprrlcnep of the last "0 years here :4.f. w'.di as elsewhere, we must expect an ever increasing population to be pro vided for. It is therefore our duty t> direct our attention co <:s possible to tho future growth of the institution Well as to the consi leratioa of p?cs ent needs When the purchase of the Wallace property was under considera tion It was decided that the level field comprising 50 acres and knAXvn as the Helltjvuc place would at no very distant date he needed to servo as the site for the development of a sorbs of cottages or Tvards constructed upon th? paviliioa plan, such as tire rcipilred for this climate and are really better fof the housing of the insane in all cli mates. As a study of such A plan a plate Is annexed by permission from a recent, number of "American Modi cine." \thik (ho ti mi' for tho entering upon tills solution of the prohlem of provid ing' for the Insane of South Carolina lias not arrived, yet it may not l?o rn distant as wf expect 01* hope. Since, however; there are rumors that at its next session the ^enernl assembly wlil take up the question of providing n J* ?-? *,? *?.??? ,,, ^ | .1 home for Confederate vaieraniTr w... respectfully suggest that your board Invito tho attc ntlon of the governor and Ihe members of tlnj legislative bod<? ??, as well as the committees of the 3 ?uth Carolina division of tho United Con federate Veterans, to the possible art y^fi'tagc* of this site for the purpurea /of such n homo. Taking as a nucleus the farm house now upon the Uelh-vue place a few wooden buildings could at once be ercfted for tho Veteran's home at small <$kpcm-:. I ??*? next f?w yeai?. if tl^- number of homeless veter ans urovided sufflctc.it to warrant it, upon this sight could bo developed a sorbs of permanent hoayital buildings which would afford the veterans such n home as they deserve, and when, in due course of time, tho veterans shall have joined the great majority, the State v.ill have nef-d of these buildings, mado sarred and historic by their prat occupants for other of her children who shall claim her succor and protec tion. To Rive in more tangible form my idea of what such buildings should be, and whi di will answer the needs of our successors better than some of the buildings we now occupy, I append a plate of the hospital recently construct ed by another State. It Is along lines uuch as are hare shown that the future growth of this hospital should be /(<*. velorcJ.
