"Lancaster county must be
represented" is 'the slogan I
adopted by County Chairman
E. J. Jones, in reference to the r
Laymen's Missionary conven
tion to be held in Columbia in J
February, and Mr. Jones in The (1
News today makes a stirring
- appeal ot the men of Lancaster 1
county. The interesting program
arranged for the meeting f
iS also to be found in this issue.

We call attention to the sys- <
tern of fire signals adopted by
the Lancaster Fire company, j
by the observance of which
much time may be saved and
confusion avoided. Instead of
rushing about in every direction
without any definite idea
where the fire is, how simple it
would be if the first person to
locate he fire would sound the
number of the ward.

THE STATE HOSPITAL FOR
THE INSANE.
After reading th/j special
message of Governor Manning
to the general assembly concerning
conditions at the State
Hospital for the Insane many
former critics of the governor's
attitude toward that instii
tuion are now convinced that
he has worked for the best intoroe^e
rtf it< ill
mates. Every word of the
message is straightforward and
sincere. It is singularly free
from criticism of others and it
presents facts and figures which
are convincing to any fair-minded
person. At the asylum are
over eighteen hundred patients
whom the state of South Carolina
has neglected in past years,
Many of them, in close confinement.
only needed kind treatment
and diversion which when
put into effect resulted in their
cure. The governor found one
dormitory containing ninety
odd inmates under the care of
only two male nurses. This
dormitory was a veritable fire
trap.
In order to secure an expert
alienist the governor borrowed
n 1I1V.1I (tuucil IU LUC
S3,000 salary provided by law,
secured the services of the
right man. Not one dollar of
this amount came or is to come
out of the pockets of the taxpayers,
but has been paid by
the governor himself and he
asks for no reimbursement.
During the nine months of improved
conditions, there has
>een net saving of between
$13,000 and $14,000. This has
aeen brought about by giving
some of the inmates employment
at a greatly reduced cost,
it the same time affording need;d
occupation for them, which
las resulted in improved menial
conditions among those thus
unployed.
The address of Governor
Manning before the joint aslembly
made such an impression
that at is conclusion that
>ody passed a unanimous resollHnn
nf HuinL-C
x,. *v?.7 vv v IIV. ^wvci II"
r for what he had done. A
ynopsis of the address is pub- 1
ished in The News today. It 1
s worthy of a careful reading.

is appalling to think what q t

You will remember, gentleme
that this act was passed ar

gone to your homes. It was n<
practicable for me to call yc
back here to make provisic

Now, I want to say there is r
special act of the legislatui
which fixes the salary of the si
perintendent, except that in tt
