Superta ? kwtoil nod Appi-opihit^, ? > Columbia, Jan. 15.?*-l*aHt mid prea* t.nt conditions at the Statu lloxpltal for the lUHftlW were reviewed .venter day by <?ov. Manning before the joint assembly, ou special Invitation from The member*. The chief executive's <leur and lucid exi>osltton of the proh leum met and conquered ami those }ct. to be dealt with effectively showed how near to the heart of <Jov. Man ning is the institution. The governor told of condition# ex Istlng befoiV the advent of Superinten dent Williams and emphasized the im provement that haH taken place under the present regime. More patlenta have been added, yet by efficient ad ministrative measures the expepse* have been considerably cut .The in auguration of occupational training has been a decided success, iik wan at tested by the many striking example*' that he gave. When Governor , Manning made his api>earauce at the shaker's desk he (waa greeted by hearty applause from the representatives and senators. A number of persons were in the gal lery aud on the floor of the house. The - governor prefaced his meaaage, which was*apoken, by sayHig that he was not critical of any one, but he would deal with actual conditions. He said that when he became governor the conditions at the State hospital were Intolerable; in fact the patient* merely were In -the custody of the au thorities. There is a decided improvement In conditions at present, he claimed. Dur ing their visit to the asylum last year the legislators saw cold and unpala table food; this year there was gOod food in abundance; last year the fire [facilities W^lfe Inoperative, because of misfitting hose, this year the flre-flght lng apparatus is in good condition, the care of women patients shows marked advancement, and the "re straint" treatment Is no longer used, and tbie effects of the discontinuance ibows benefits accrued. Gov. Manning nrgently stressed the necessity of a continuance of the good ivork, which was inaugurated with the change in the management. This change was necessary, he sakl. The chief .executive- then took up -the - in crease In the ' salary of the superin tendent. He said that the salary of the official is fixed in the appropria tion bill ; there is no act specifying the yearly stipend for the head of the asylum.'

How it was im possible- to ttuU surh (I man fur the ?iMH>0 and the perquisite*, which Amount to approximately 91.8(H) an nually. When lie thought of the i.soo itYmaten nt the ? Institution, said the chief executive, he knew the hUhest type of physician hiuI scientist was ne cessa ry to carry ou the work. There wn h nq provision for increasing the superintendent's salary, and the ques tion wan whether he should make the l>ersonal sacrifice In seeurlug the wan that could till the i>osltlon. After he had made up. his mind, stated the governor, he found that he could borrow $2, .'175 at .'i per cent to ltuiure the employment of the man he had iutnlud. The arrangement wan made for one year, watd (3uv. Man-1 nlng, and It was now up to the legis lature to provide for the Increase In ' salary. The salary of the year past j the governor made as a contribution, I willingly and gladly, but he cannot carry' the burden further. The ar rangement 1ms proven satisfactory, he averred, and It is uow up to the gen eral assembly as to whether the effi cient superintendent shall be retained. While there has been an increase at the Htate Hospital, yet there has been a saving in expenses compared with last year of over $1,400. Also thero Iihm been retained 22 more trained nurses lyid the services of 10 addition al physicians have beeu secured. He explained how a large part of this sav ing has been accomplished. By a re distribution of labor, the employment of patient* In tasks to which they Were adapted and were willing to pur sue, a large imrt of this expense was reduced. He explained that .where the former administration was wont, to purchase whiskey by the barrel, now there was only one quart of Intoxi cating liquors vn month used at the in stitution. This effected a considera ble saving, he claimed. Gov. Manning gave many incidents, many of them brimful of human in terest, where the present system of occupational treatment has immensely benefited patients ? some of them leav ing the State hospital with clear mental faculties. He showed that the awaken ing of the inmates' Interest in various occupations had been the cause of the strengthening Of their minds. In the asyluni there are now 809 patients re ceiving occupational treatment, doing such tasks for which they ate adapted and are willing to do. Mary IHcUfortl us "Little Pal" at The ) Majc?(ic Tuesday. Gov. Manning mh id that the regents had found a balance of $17,885 and the board would drop the request of $20,000 for equipment. He earnestly urgftd the legislature . to grant the re quest for $325,000 tuade for 1 aln tenance. stressing the necessity of ap propriating every cent. ;He said that he felt Justltled in the employment of Dr. Fred Williams, which ran up to February 15, 101(1. He explained that Dr. Williams received a straight sal ary of $500 a month aud no per quisites. In conclusion Gov Manning said: "I will leave this matter In your hands, with confident assurance that, with the full understanding of the conditions of this Institution and of Its imperative needs, you will dis charge that obligation In such a way that it will be a credit to you, repre senting the i>eop!e of South Carolina ; that It will be a credit to the State of South Carolina, and will show to the world that we are Christians living In a Christian land, and recognizing the highest purposes to discharge our duties, both to Ood and our suffering fellowmen.', 9 , v Following the . governor's message a resolution was adopted thanking the governor for his words of advice.

There are few magnets ho powerful in their pull on the masculine eye as a stocking in its proper place, few things that bring such constant relief to the le gendary tired business man as a whirl of stockings covering the legs of nim ble, graceful and shapely i>erformer?, which appear with Harry A. Emerson at Camden opera- house on January 28th. Silk stockings have broken up homes. To wear stockings is so gen eral a that to 05?!t.Uiia.artidc of attire W to win permanent fame, as in the case of Jerry Himpson. Aud yet the wearing of them and tho omis sion of the practice, in recent instances, set ajl the world of two of our best known watering places agog. Last sea son, while Mr. Emerson was playing Newport, a lady In search of the hum ble sensation-making appeared at the Casino wearing a white stocking and .n black one, with shoes of the same hues to iqatch. Newport dropped all its intellectual discussions and gave Jtself over txx argument as to- whether it should take up a fad which seems to have been copied from the color scheme of the Winter Garden. "So ciety" seems to have committed the common theatrical slu of "stealing our fltttff;" Another case of stockings was at At lantic City, where the edict has gone forth that hereafter all feminity that goes bathing must wear these essen1 tlals to the complete costume. If At lantic City nymps, in following this rule, should take up the Newport cus tom, it will be difficult for some men to make out whether they are look ing as barber shop totem poles or chan nel buoys. ? adv. -?
