Fred Williams, secretary of the State board of health and State health officer, will leave the service. Dr. Robert Wilson, Jr., chairman of the State board of ,health, of Charleston, has notified Dr. Williams that his resignation has been accepted by the board, and the announcement to this effect was made this afternoon. Dr. Williams sent in his resignation to the board of health, which accepted i.t only after the effort to make arrangements by which Dr. Williams's salary might be increased :-ailed. Dr. Williams's successor will be named by the board at a meeting to be held here some time between May 10 and 15. Dr. C. Fred Williams has been sec retary of the State board of health for four years, and in 1908, when the office of State health officer was creat ed, Dr. Williams was given that posi tion also. When he took charge of Ithe work the State board had no of fice, no stenographer and no labora tory. Today the State board has fine ly equipped offices in the new Science hall of the University of South Caro olina. Two stenographers are employ ed. In connection with Dr. Williams's work is the pasteur institute, con ducted by Dr. F. A. Coward, a former Charlestonian. The State pasteur in stitute has done fine work. The board naintains a laboratory, and is con neoted with the laboratory of Com missiomer Watson's department in the pure food work. Also in connec tion with the State board is the rural sanitarium work, conducted by Dr. Labruce Ward, who has a corps of men in the field in this State. This work is aided by the Rockefeller hook worm fund. Dr. Williams has issued a monthly bulletin on matters affecting the health of the people, in order to edu cate the masses in the preventive measures that may be taken in such diseases as tuberculosis and the large number of diseases occasioned by un sanitary conditions. By simply giving a bare outline of Dr. Williams' work it is unnecessary to add that he had been a valuable man for South Carolina. His resig nation was made to the executive committee of the board six weeks ago, and it was not accepted. In Cnaries ton the resignation was accepted con ditioned upon the failure to secure a means of adding to Dr. Williams's salary. This afternoon the announce ment was made that the additional money could not be had, and the resignation was accepted. Dr. Williams will engage in the special work of chest diseases. He will make a trip to London soon to make some special studies in this field of medicine. GOVERNOR SEEKS INFORMIATION Writes State and Private Colleges For Income Figures. Columbia, April 29.-Gov. Blease had written to three of the State in stitutions of learning and to several other colleges in the State, asking for information as to the i-ncome of the institutions. The letters were addressed to Clemson college, univer sity of South Carolina, the Citadel, the military college of South Carolina: Erskine, Newberry, Porter's, Wofford, and Furman. The following copy of the letter to the superintendent of Porter Military academy, of Charleston, shows the form of the letters sent out: "Superintendent, Porter Military, Academy, Charleston, South Carolina -Dear Sir: I am desirous of obtain ing from you the following informa tion, if consistent with the rules of your institutions: "Ho many students attended your institution during the session 1910-1]?~ "The amount of money received from tuitions? "The amount of money reeied from the Stare, or othi>r appropria tions, or from any other sonrr'? I other words. I wish to renow how much money you rinstitution receives for running expenses each year? '.1 woa ans like to know. if you please, -Vhat salaries your president and professors receive? "If for any reason you should wish that your reply to me be not made public, please so state in your com munication. "If there is any rule or regulation opposing the giving to me this infor mation, of course, I do not ask it, but if not, you will greatly oblige me 1by furnishing the same. "Very respectfully, "Cole. L. Blease, "Governor." HOT SHOT AT HITCHCOCK. "Postoffice Department Greatest Pol. tical Machine," Says Cullop. Washington, April 28.-"The post office department is the greatest. poli tical machine ever constructed in this or aliy other country and it is openly administered as a political organiza tion." This was the charge made on the floor of the house of representatives today by Mr. Cu-llop, of Indiana, who referred to Postmaster General Hitch cock as being the presiding genius of this organization. Too much time devoted by the head of 'the department to political affairs and too little to business, were declar ed by Mr. Cullop to be responsible for the annual deficit in the operation of the department. He said the people should know whether any of the 272, 000 postmasters or employees had been discharged or reduced in rank for failure to perform political du ties or contribute to campaign funds, and whether employees are regularly assessed for campaign purposes and are punished if they do not comply. He declared that the appointive power lodged with the president is greater than that enjoyed by any for eign monarch. "The power vested in the president is almost unlimited," he said. "No man is wise enough or good enough to be trusted with such pow er. It is the experience of the world that men clothed with such power be come impatient of restraint." Mr. Cullop advocated the direct election of many of the federal em ployees, such as United States mar shals and postmasters. 12 ACTS STILL UNSIGNED.
