What a pity it ls that .-the State loepital for the Insane ls again ta e brought into the lime-light in such n unfavorable way. At this distance .om the State capital we do not now what is the "nigger in the ood pile", and if there ls to be an ?vestjgatlon we hope that the lnstl tion will be kept apart and s?pa te from the personality of the in vMuolu mtvnM nn In , V. I" ma? If there are two institutions in e State which should deserve tho upport cf the whole people, those o Institutions arc tho school for { ofectlves at Cedar Springs and the ospital for tho Insane at Columbia. .'hat a merciful providence it is 1 at in the 60 or more years of its'' ! stance tho school at Cedar Springs i s always been free from even the I Ightes4 crltlcitm. Thc State hospital has had a less appy career. With an institution ' beru 1,800 unfortunate persons ure 1 ?oused all tho year around lt is but o bs expected that thero would be ?ocasional complaints, jut tho pco .!e of the State wore not prepared or the nauseating mattera that were .rougbt out in the investigation a >?w years ago. Wo venture to say what If Senator Niels Christensen had been permitted to work out the fu ture building policy of thia instltu ion the bonds for that purposo in ihe lsst election, the new homo for the State hospital would now bo on the way to completion. The asylum, and an "asylum" ls x place of refuge, we ( can see no ob jection to that good old name is a necessity. Tho feet' that today lt om os 1,800 unfortunates against 1. 00 five br six years ago shows' the ;reat and rapid increase in those Mseeaes which prey upon tbe mind. Many of these are curable, and . the iBylum has boe i doing a great work Itt the restoration ot mental health.

Up to this time we do not know .pon whst Senator Tillman bases als suspicions, but if they be mofe usplclons, be should withdraw the barges ot an implied plunderbund, .nd let the work of extending the ?eiulneaa of the Institution be car nied on. This work cannot be al lowed to lag, and we bellevo It will ,o don? right.

SKELTON WILHAMS John Skelton Williams, appointed comptroller of the currency, ls a .Southern man and a friend of the South. He lt was who promoted the I ulldlng of the great Seaboard A:: Line ayetem, uniting a few od-ia aud oads ot roads and tying them togeth er into a combination which ^has beer, a blessing to the country thron-.: which lt passes. Mr. Williams wa. . tricked out ot his position by Ryan and other Wall street speculatora,and under circumstances that would havi broken the beat? of one who has loss a man, he was forced to begin ail over In life. Ur. Williams was a son of a Richmond banker, John L. Wil liams, and A. B. Williams, for years the gifted editor ol The Greenville Dally News, waa a elose kinsman. John Skelton Williams was indeed a friend to South Carolina. The country through which the Seaboard passes waa practically a barron waste, and lt has become productive beyond all expectation. Turpentine woods have beeu converted into rich Bolds, and the towns that have ?prong up aro prosperous and the cities connected by this line are grow ing in power and tai Importance, g What would South parolina have lone without the Seaboard? In addi * Lion to the hundreds and hundred*. m >i thousands spent there under' Mr. , Williams sa president,). tho capital i sity ot tho State has been the roclp* ; lent of bette? seu?r?u?c? aud ??cr?a?? sd facilities at the bands of the rqac> in etletence r before - tiro Seaboard :ame.

W?ILO BE A SA VINO. We hov? been informed that the matter in the electric light and water franchise, over which there is a slight delay, ia due to nome unintentional er ror made in me amending of the con tract which was submitted. Assuming that the city attorey IB correct a"d that the contract could not bc amended at a special meeting, we think that the people of the city will be glad to ste the thing finally straightened out and thc reduced rates put into effect, thus thus Having the consumers several hundred dollars per month, we ure in formed, as the difference between the prcHent rate and the rate agreed upon voa)ly In the contract. This is a very Important matter, and when the coun cil dora pass it finally, it shouid be without any misunderstanding.

As such lt Invites the Southern people to help lt to become more and more their efficient servant and at the same time the object of their pride and affection. They need have no fear of its future if It has their confidence. I trust you will permit me to take this occasion to say finally a word of a personal nature: I believe in the South and our Southern people with all my heart nnd soul. 1 have given B oat of the years of my manhood to rm earnest though a subordinate, part la. an effort to realise a high purpose of promoting the *<>generatlon through Industry, cf the t.'-oppcrlty of this our hftinvnrf motherland. I have ? fcnown In my experience the horrors either of the mllttaty conflict which left our people prostrate, or of the drear years o political disability and strophled ambition which followed that great war between the States, ia one of the chief theatres of which we are tonight, but I konw the bit terneBS of these thing? In the tradition I of my Immediate family and I have; learned from my parents that there can be no higher Inspiration than be a part in the realization of the Ideals of Our Southern peoplo. Facing the future, I have then dedicated my life to that duty and to Identification with tho Southern people.- Many others tare do?a and we are doing thia and I am proud to he of the company which -has accomplished, through co operation and sustained effort, so .ni"h In the last quarter of a century.
