Negro Commit :ed Suicide.
Bri9tow Washington, an aged negro
of the Dutch Fork, died on Saturday
from the effects of a wound inflicted
by his own hand. 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

^ 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!"

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 ?

Union, Mrs. G. A. Baxter of St. Matthews,
Mies Alice Esrlo and the 12
)
j pretty young nurses of the training
school.
"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.

i Senator Crosson Again.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Dear Sir:?In my first reply I an- j
swered every question raised by j
| "Critic" in a logical way. In his sec- j
i ond epistle there is no evidence of |
j facts or arguments. It i3 but a con- j
j glomeration of vituperations, inuen- ;
do's, slangs and winds up with a mere
doggerel. As the Senator of Lexington
county, I presume, that my peo- ,
? J- -r ? J: *-i 4-^ I
I pie expect Ul IIJC mure uigiiiij man i/u |
I indulge in a bitter newspaper contro|
versy.
i Itis apparent on the part of "Critic"
| to show his bitter political opposition,
because I have not bowed to some
concessions of his liking, therefore
he belches forth with harsh invectives.
He is mad. I shall leave the
uncalled for attack for a just public
to be their own judges. I don't presume
they will expect their Senator
I to be a puppet for demagogic bossism,
