VAUGHAN DI&>1?ARED t?^?S^ Of Mind Still-Improved** but Not' Recovered, Declare* 'Physicien. -($gpL (The Stat?. Muy 18.) Dr. J. P. Munnerlyn, medical di rector of tho State Hospital for the insane, yesterday mado a report to Governor Cooper as to the mental status of T. U. Vaughn, under sen lenco at the Hospital for the Insano for criminally assaulting live little girls while Vaughn was superintend ent of tho Odd Fenows' Orphan Home tn Greenville. The medical di rector says tho patient claims to hear imaginary voices. "Those symptoms would seem to justify the diagnosis or domen tia praecox as made hy Dr. Sandy during tho observation of the case In 1916." Dr. Munnerlyn con tinues. In making his report to tho Gov ernor. Dr. Munnerlyn says: "In making a report of tho present condition of T. U. Vaughn, would say that from many standpoints tho pa tient bas shown a rather decided im provement. This may be clearly shown by making a comparison be tween the patient's present condition and his condition at the time of bis admission to tho hospital. Aa will he recalled, when the patient came to the hospital on March 2S, 191U, be seemed to be entirely out of content with his surroundings, refused to talk or co-operate with us in any way, was usually found lying quietly ill bed, and would remain in any po sition he might he placed in. In ad dition to this, tho patient was filthy and untidy-made no attempt to an swer calls of nature, and at no time did he ask the attendants for any thing that would add to his personal comfort. Several attempts were made to break through this mutism, but at no time did the patient show any In clination or any reaction to the test. This condition continued practically unchanged for a period of one year, at which time the patient began to show signs of improvement. This improvement was gradual, but after a period of six weeks the pu tient was talking freely and in a coherent manner, co-operating willingly, and was tidy as to Iiis personal appear ance. "l!o says I oTtl not know where 1 was until an attendant told me. Everything seems hazy, ami the past skeins like a dream, in which I can not recall the details to anything." Upon further questioning the pa tient admitted hearing imaginary voices. Says 'Those voices seemed to como from spirits, and at times they disturbed me -very much.' He was evasive and showed no insight into his condition. "During the past year the patient's condition has been practically the same as described above. He has been allowed to work in tho white male dining room. The character of his work ls good. He is very obedi ent and courteous, but continues to hallucinate, often stating that the spirit voices keep him awake at night. Ile also shows defective judg ment and absolutely no insight into his condition. These symptoms would seem to justify the diagnosis of de mentia praecox as made by Dr. Sandy during his observation of the case In i916. Very truly yours "J. F. Munnerlyn. "Me>icnl Director." FA1 lt 1'L.AY'S DEMONSTRATION. Home Demonstration Club Held an Interesting Meeting on 14th. On Wednesday afternoon, May 14, the Fair Play Home Demonstration Club held its regular monthly meet ing. The main feature on tho pro gram was tho broad-making demon stration, which was given by Mrs. J. W. Shelor. After making potato yeast Mrs. Shelor mixed tho dough. Then she showed some that had been mado soventl hours before and was ready to be worked down and made into rolls. Rolls cookeu ano ready to servo were next, exhibited, thus showing the bread in all its stages. The light, porous bread was sliced and made into sandwiches with the delicious grape butter that Mrs. She lor carried along for that purpose. After the demonstration Mrs. She lor gave each lady either yeast or enough dough for a "starter." Those present all tbnnksd her cordially tor her interesting talk. Although all experienced cooks and good housekeepers themselves, they were very much interested and felt a inply repaid for milking the effort to get lo the meeting. In Hie discussion afterward each one told her methods and the success or failure with which she had mel. Thus the meeting was mutually helpful, instructive and en joyable.

Tamassee Finds M era lon in Published ' Hopert of the State Regent. From among tho paragraphs of the published report of tho State regent of the D. A. It. we cull the follow ing points that will prove of interest locally: "A report from congress seems long in coming, but tho letter by Mrs. Calhoun of last Sunday and of tho previous week, covered points so concerning tho State work as to take precedence. * * * "We missed the big minds of lust year-those of tho ambassadors and secretaries with the inspiration of rho war as a background--but con gress cannot fall to send us home ? bettor members of tho organization, better women, for having taken part in a big council, the motive of which is to do for others and with clearor ideas of just what to do, and how. "Tho keynote of congress was edu cation, with two views of it-that of education of tho foreign-born and of the native-born, the latter espe cially of the mountain sections. The question concerning tho foreign born Is of little moment to South Carolina, except as far as to make us | sympathize with the problems of oth er Daughters, and he prepared should they become our own, which might well he a fact within the next few years. In the North and West the situation is critical,due to large num bers of Immigrants gathering in sec tions given over to the several na tionalities, and when so domiciled the foreigner remains a foreigner in language and allegiance, holding to whatever feeling of discontent, re- ? hellion and envy brought him here. | And thus has begun to warm the | .snake of Bolshevism and of the I. W. j W. * * * Where Help ls Needed. "The mountain horn who need ; help Is a question too well known In South Carolina to permit repetition | here except as regards Tamassee rel lative to congress. Knowledge of our I school is progressing in a most satis factory manner. One regent from Iowa spoke of a delightful chapter meeting at which they had served Tamassee cheese, sent by Mrs. Cal houn, and asked how more could be gotten. A chapter in Illinois during j congress pledged the school a foun dation. $100. A Texas Daughter said that just before leaving home some one In her chapter had remarked, 'One more payment and we will have finished with Tamassee.' But I told them Never! We will always help i amass?e! And such help has come from many States, with "encourag ing symptoms" from several others. "Sixteen chapters were represented In the South Carolina delegation, and tho single remark most frequent ly heard was, 'I wish all members of my chapter could be here'-this wish being prompted by several Unes of thought-our own pleasure in their presence, the greater weight of South Carolina due to a more numerous representation, and, most important of all. each Daughter knows that she goes home with a clearer view of what the organization exists to do and of her duty as an individual part, making accomplishment grenter and at the same timo with less effort to each person, from tho most recent member to the president general.

A Frame That Holds Its Place A distorting, weaving frame can do an uncanny amount of damage. It can split up the body, set the doors askew, pull off the fenders, throw things out of line generally and make squeaks that defy the oil can. The Dort frame is built so solidly as to withstand the most severe shocks and strains. Its main structure is of generously large pressed-steel channel. Beneath the radiator each side mem ber of the frame is firmly fastened together by a heavy cross member. At the clutch is another cross member giving solid support for the rear sus pension of the engine. Behind the transmission is another, and at the rear a fourth cross member, both given added rigidity by wide gussett plates. It is'strong, with uniformity from end to end. The Dort is as strong throughout the chassis. Ask us to tell you about it. BALLENGER HDWE. & FURN. CO., Seneca, S. C. Agents for Dort and Chalmers Cars, Oconec County. POUT MOT OR. CAR, COMPANY coi,.
