' GOVERNOR TO LAWMAKERS ON HOSPITAL FOR INSANE (Continued from Page One) I that the cost of maintenance of that institution for the year 1914 was $316.443.59; the cost of maintenance of the institution in 1915 was $301,8(58.42. saving in operating expenses. $14,575.17. The amount brought over from the appropriation of last | year was $17,885. Saving in Expenses, j New. I want to c.dl your attention to the- f :ct that saving in operating erpenues has not been at the expense of the comforts of those patients. The averasro daily number in that institution through the year 1915 has been 117 patients more than in the year previous?than in 1914. With the inceased average attendance of 117 patients, the co.-t in maintenance has been reduced $14,575.17. The per capita expense in 1914 was $17G.18. and in 1915. $170.92. I want to call ycur attention further to the fact that besides this increase in average of patients they | had added for the care of those patients 10 physicians, whose time is given entirely to the care of those patients, whereas, before three regular physicians, giving all their time, were employed, and three for a part cf their time. One of the first items that was taken up in the character of savings by Dr. Williams, after his inaugura tion into tnat oince, was in trie matter of the laundry. In 1914 the monthly pay roll in the laundry was $702; in 1915 it was reduced to $227 a month, making a saving for the year of $5,700. That work, instead of being done by paid negro women, was done by the negro women who were in the institution, not by compulsion, nor by force, but simply by persuasion, and being glad to get the opportunity of having occupation rather than in sitting around in idleness all the time. When Dr. Williams investigated further he found that there were two ; colored women scrubbers, who took care of the white women's ward at ' $10 each per month, and six men scrubbers, who took care of the men's ward, at $16 each per month. Those were discharged and patients in the institution were glad to do that work. The saving in this item was $2,952 for the year. On the farm the cost of operating for 1915 was $9,127.49; the cost of operating the farm in 1915 was $4,682.66, making a saving in the operating expenses of the farm of $4,444.83. The saving in these items, gentlemen, amount to $13,296.83. Saving in Whiskey. There was another item, the exact figures of which I did not remember to take from the report of the previous year; but I want to say that whiskey, prior to Dr. Williams being placed in charge, was bought at that institution by the barrel. I want to j say to you now that the consumption of whiskey in that institution is less than a quart per month. Permit me to call your attention to certain phases of this work which are simply obtained by personal interviews, personal contact and from my personal visits to this institution. When the plan was adopted of giving occupation and diversion to these patients it was found that patients there who were simply indifferent, who lay there supinely, who had no occupation or diversion, when they did not feel like doing some work, showed an eagerness to accept it. ! Occupational Treatment. "I want to say that in the institution, following out the plan of giving occupation and diversion to r.he pa. jtients, they have now a printing plant j where some of the inmates daily jwork; they now have a laundry I where inmates do most of the work; ? they have kitchens where the work is largely done by the inmates. The in mates police the grounds, they have I a broom fn.et.orv nnr) a mnHfecc foo Itory; they do knitting; they have a i. sewing room, making clothes for I many of the inmates; they have I printers, and they are using many of >ithe inmates on the farm, and in ad dition to that, gentlemen, there is established a department there of basY. ket making and fancy work. Six weeks before the State fair was |held, they employed Miss Austin in | that department. Miss Austin came - to look over the field. After seeing [the patients, she wondered if she _ I could do anything for them. They | ".were lying in their beds; she could j ?.not induce them to get up for several i j weeks. She finally interested them I in fancy work and basket making. t! They greatly improved, and finally jshe interested f>0 of those women, I who had been more dead than alive, ' and not interested in anything, and' : they were eager in the morning when j j the hour came, at which time they | could begin their work; Gentlemen, 1 as a result of this, three of those in- | mates have been absolutely restored ( to sound vnin.i and have left the in-, stitution and have .'.one back 10 their \ homes. 1 Now.

T It may well now i>e asked, after you have : . what the physical im' provements have been, how that has | been carried on. You have seen there in the wards n.ai have not yet j j been touched, their conditions, those of you who have visited them, and I do earnestly urge that every mem- j ' ber of this legislature who has not " ,..:n 1 ^ ! J i-vwu mtic Hill IcilVC JJCIMJIIcll lIltertr&L j ; in the work and feel that it is part of ! j his interest and see the benefits you j are conferring on these people. A Word as to Finances. > Now I wish to say that since the 1 report of the board of regents was i made up?it was done about the 20th - of December, at the request of the 1 comptroller general-they have found that they carried over this balance - that I have alluded to?$17,885. The . request for appropriations by the j board of regents was based on their information and the figures before them on the 20th of December. Having been in conversation with j some of the regents, I learn from them that inasmuch as they have found that they have carried over $17,885, they will cut out the item of $20,000 which they have asked for ELU for this year for the matter of equip- [gS ment. I, therefore, make this recom- gSf mendation that you will provide for j|i&? the maintenance of the institution Hng the $325,000 asked for, which ineludes the salary of the superintendent and all other expenses of maintcnance; also provide for the $150,000 requested for the purpose of con- [|j|y tinuing the improvements. jE1!" Just a word here in reference toi^r^ their asking for $325,000, where they used only $301,000 last year. Last year this work was all new to them, ?--y= and they, knowing that their ex pen- '[|>r dilures could not exceed the appropriation, necessarily held down every pjfor item. They could not do certain gyj things they felt necessary, because of tnis fear of exceeding the appro- , {alE priation. You can realize that the eight months in which this board'{fjg* and the superintendent have been in ,[?{UE charge have been active months in- j |jS deed. They have had to go slowly, gsr having had to make these improve- eM mont-c cton hv qtpn nnrl there are ' Sit many things that they have kept [|]j^ down, but those of you who have been to the institution and have seen pi|X what is to be done there realize the necessity of furnishing the money necessary to carry on this work. {zjU As I stated to you, I feel that the j|S results of the management of this in- {ISr stitution have justified me in the ap- ir|? pointment of Dr. Williams. I desire [|? to say in respect to Dr. Williams be-, ing paid $500 a month, that he does ^|JC not have a single perquisite that j{f-S went with that office; he does not TljSf have the use of the house; he does [|U! net have water, lights, fuel, vege- @i? tables, servants, horses, carriage and i j|9 even an automobile. He lives in his IP* own house, and he does not get one g|F cent in perquisites or anything else [fffl from that institution, except the $250 a month Drovided in the appropria- [UlE tion bill, and the money which I paid HjS out of my own pocket, so I want you I Ggf to bear this in mind that the superin- EfjU tendent heretofore received $3,000 and ?1,300 or $1,400 in these per- |j.J! quisites, conservatively estimated. [|U! whereas, Dr. Williams gets $500 a ; Syp month and not a single perquisite sjf goes with it. Regents' Fine Work. | ?Q| I want to say just a word on an- !jgj? other matter. I feel it is but due to |IM the board of regents, who have given gU their time, energy and thought to the bS work of this institution, to say of gSr them that I do not believe that I could have selected a board who had ijifj more average talent along the several pjjyj lines of their training, and that that JaW knowledge was only to be equaled fcy @|? the efficiency and ability which those |j J men have brought to that institution. 1 T Viottc* fn ffiup vnn a ' isUE plain statement of facts connected j?^ with this institution. In doing: this I have discharged my responsibilty. $0^ The responsibility now rests on you \ to carry on efficiently and ably this preat work. Economy in this institution will not consist in cutting off expenditures, but rather in seeing that the money spent is wisely spent, _ getting a dollar's worth for every: b dollar spent, in giving better treat-: ? ment to these patients. 8 Remember that they come from M ?very county and every section of the J a State, and there are few of us who $ are now representing the people of H the State who have not friends and relatives in this institution. Is there any work that can appeal to our hu- s man hearts to a greater degree than a the care of these unfortunates? j P These inmates are in the institution H by no will or act or theirs, but are g there by reason of an affliction brought about by causes beyond hu- L man control. It is our solemn ?!uty and obliga- j g tion to give these people the very M best treatment and skill that can be ? found. It is our bounden duty to make this institution not only better H than it has been in the past, but the best in the land. I do not urge this I work in order ,thnt it may be put M down to the credit of the Manning 9 administration, but rather that it can Ej be put down as the result of your H painstaking, kindly and humane H thought for the welfare of these reo- S pie. You can do nothing that will E make a more enduring monument to gj your wisdom and to your foresight, t R to your human kindness and charitv. I P3 I will leave this matter in yaur |9 hands, with the confident assurance B that, with the full understanding of R the conditions of this institution And n of its imperative needs, you will dis- w charge thnt obligation in such a way n that it will be a credit to you. renre- fe sentinc: the people of South Carolina; || that it will be a credit to the Sfate R of South Carolina, and will show to P. the world that we are Christians livintr in a Christian land, and mog- 'i'jl nizing the highest purnose to dis- H; charge our dutio?. both to God and ? | to our suffering fcllowmen. 3 "HEAVENLY ECKCH5 KG. 2" The new fv:rv; i *.. ?lain.-? more !?
