It is said that the old negro had been in bad health for some time and he secured a razor about ten days ago and cut his throat. Coroner Clarke , and Deputy Sheriff Miller went over on Sunday f& the purpose of holding an inquest, but upon making inquiry the coroner was satisfied that it was a plain case of suicide and no inquest was held. His Fixed Income. A southern congressman, who formerlv nracticed law in MississiDci. ^ IT-" - * tells of an amusing case he once tride in chat State. He was then a student in the office of his uncle a Colonel Martin, who figured in local politics. The main figure in the trial was a lazy darky named Dick Sutt-on, arrested at the instance of his wife, who alleged that he contributed nothing to her support and refused to work. During the examination of Sutton the young lawyer asked: "Dick, have you any fixed income?', Sutton was puzzled by the term. Counsel explained that the expression meant a certainty, money paid not for odd jobs, but lor stead}7 employment ; in other words, a compensation at stated intervals on which one could absolutely rely. Upon the conclusion of counsel's remarks the darky's face brightened. "I thank I has a fixed income, eah," said he. "And what is this fixed income?" was the next question. "Well, sah," answered Dick, with a broad grin in the direction of Col. Martin, "de colonel dere allers give me fo' dollars an' a sack c' fiour on election day!" Easter Egg Sunt.

TKE ENOWLTCN HOSPITAL OPENED With a Grand Recaption a Few Days j Ago?One cf the Handsomest and j Best Equipped Institutions in ine South?Already Fiiling Up. The new Knowlton Hospital, in Co- I lurnbia, was opened with a grand reception a few nights ago. This is one of the most conveniently arranged structures of its kind in the entire South. In its appointment every detail has been carefully attended to and it is difficult to sec how anything to add to its convenience could have been provided. Everything is the best that modern infirmaries require. The sanitarium is a four-story brick building of 33 rooms and will accommodate 25 patients. It is heated throughout by a hot water plant and lighted by electricity and gas. The plumbing and sewerage is perhaps the best in the State, all flxturesf baths, closets and lavatories being of porcelain. The operating and sterilizing rooms are on the north side of the top story in order to be above the dust of traffic and to obtain a uniform white light without glare. The building itself is a classic Tuscan style surmounted by two stories of Ionic. The front entrance presents a handsome appearance, being constructed of Indiana stone. The stairs and vestibule are marble, the floor of the vestibule beinrr loir? in mr>Qair? tilp j The floors are laid in hardwood, except those of the operating rooms, which are necessarily white tile. Spacious verandas on the south side and a balcony on the second story front furnish ideal points for recreation for the convalescents. The individual equipment of each room in the hospital from the cheapest to to the most expensive is one of the attractive features of the building. The idea to make the rooms as homelike as possible was constantly observed in their furnishing with the result that no better or more comfortable rooms could be desired. Beautiful Furnishings. In most of the rooms the furniture is solid mahogony; in the less expensive ones of mahoganized birch. The dressers and washstands are covered with beautiful hand-embroidered scarfs inscribed with the institution's monogram "K. H." The china also bears the monogram of the institution burned in by special order to the factory. The meals are served on trays made of white asbestos. \x7i1for? nTirl imnerinl Smvrna riig8 are found in all the rooms and upon the stairs Each bedside i9 provided with a dainty lamp that can be turned on and off by the patient with but little exertion ana will make reading possible. The main kitchen i9 on the basement floor with diet kitchens on each floor. Call bells in every room leading to indicators on each floor make it easy to summon assistance. Telephones on every floor and in various parts of the building communicate with the residence of Dr. Knowlton, where he can be called at any time. The institution is regularly chartered under the laws of South Carolina as the Knowlton Hospital. The hospital opened with Miss Cora J. Welker, of Philadelphia, as superintendent of nurses and a class of 12 nurses. Altogether the building and equipment is as near perfect as it can be made. It is possibly the best equipped private hospital in the South and contains some of the more modern hospital conveniences not found in any hospitals save in the largest cities. Dr. Knowlton has recently returned from a trip to the larger Northern cities and his new hospital compares favorably to those inspected in the North. The Reception A Brilliant Affair. The reception, which was one of the most brilliant affairs of the season, was thus described by The State: * The opening of the Knowlton hospital called forth one of the largest and handsomest affairs of rhe season in Columbia, a reception for which the splendid new building furnished a beautiful setting. The wide hallways with their hardwood floors, the reception room in its artistic furnishings, and 33 dainty rooms?all home-like and inviting?were thrown opeu, flowers lending their bright presence everywhere. Countless carnations were used in the decorations, with handsome palms, and especially the lower floor was a lovely bower of tropical plants and flowers. In the reception room Dr. aud Mrs. Knowlton and Mis9 Welter of Philadelphia, the new superintendent of nurses, received and in the halls and other apartments on the three floors a number of ladies were assisting during the evening, " A TT 11 O ? among tnem Mrs. a. r>. jviiowuon, cu., Mrs. Avery C titer, Mrs James Mcintosh, Mrs. Robert Gibbes, Mrs Sumter Earl1, M a.

"In a first hall punch was served from | a great block of ice into which had 1 been frozen a shower of blossoms? sweet pea- and bright geraniums, wit h novel and altogether lovely effect. ! Mrs. Robert Earl and Miss Mary Lyles presided there and served the delicious contents of the ice bowl, and a bevy of young girls, among them Misses Fanny Fowles, Fanny Taber, Pearl Washington, Majorie Hey ward. Ruth and Margart Earle, handed the refreshments?a dainty sweet course aurvprl in tho npw TnnnnrrramPfl ollina 1 of the hospital. Ail orchestra of eight pieces occupied the balcony on the second floor and played delightfully throughout the evening. Not Ies9 than 400 guests enjoyed a tour of inspection over the hospital and spent an exceptionally charming evening.'' Although the new hospital has only been open a short while it is rapidly filling up with patients. Dr. Knowlton i9 recognized as beine one of the most successful surgeons in the South. Many people from this county patronize the Knowlton Hospital and a cordial invitation is extended to all to visit the institution at any time. J. W. Livingston Silled By Passenger Train. J. W\ Livingston, a travelling man, was killed by the Southern's passenger train No. 8, between Batesburg and Hibernia Saturday morning. From the statement of the engineer in charge of the train it 9eems that the man intended ending his- own life, or else his mind wa9 unbalanced. He was walking directly toward tne I train and the engineer sounded the J warning, but instead of getting off I the track he deliberately turned his | back toward the approaching train' I and calmly waited for it to strike him. j His mangled form was picked lip by ' the train crew and hurried to Batesburg, where Dr. W. P. Tim merman did everything possible to prolong life, but the unfortunate man soon breathed his last. Coroner B. D. Clarke concluded the inquest on Monday, the verdict of the jury being that the deceased came to his death by being struck by a train. Mr. Livingston was a son-in-law of Col. Edmund Bacon of Columbia, and was prominently connected in the upper part of the State. He leaves a wife and two small children. Lost.
