EXECUTIVE MESSAGE
RELATES fO ASYLUM
(CONTINUED FROy PAGE 1).
Dr. Babcock and his lady assistant,
Dr. Saunders, as tr.ese men must have
some excuse, you know, and are not
*>+ rtll r.Ai?nrMilAno ,f
<x{. an 9^1 upuiuuo.
I herewith quote in full resolutions
adopted by the board of regents on
the 15th day of January?this very
:month?1914:
"Whereas, Mr. 0. L. Saunders has
presented a petition asking for a reopening
of the investigation of charges
against Dr. Saunders for interfering
with other members of the medical
k .^taff of this institution; and.
K "Whereas, This matter has been
t Throughly investigated at a previous
A meeting as resolution this day adopted
?hnwR
r"Whereas, There were ^no charges
from any source before this board, or
under investigation by this board, as
io the moral character of the said Dr.
Saunders, or as to her ability to perform
the duties of the office which she
-is holding;
"Be it, Resolved, That this board is
of tie opinion that it is for the best
k interest of said institution, and for the
best interest of this lady, that this
entire matter be closed, and that the
same be dismissed.
r "Resolved, futher, That this board
puts itself upon record as stating that
no charge whatever from any source
has been made to them, by them, or
through them, as to the moral
| character or personal standing of Dr.
L Saunders.
"Resolved, futher, That the petition
of Mr. Saunders is respectfllly deHA
lined, and that, so far as this board
' is concerned, the entire matter stands
^at an end."
n As to the statement that these
r gentlemen are not ai an sciupuiuua,
I presume that Drs. Babcock and Wilson,
and Messrs. Payne, Aull and
Johnson, 2nd the board of regents?
Dr. Julius H. Taylor, Hon. James A.
Summersett, Hon. John D. Biven, Dr.
W. L. Settlemeyer, and Dr. T. R.
Oarothers?are willing for their personal
and public careers to have the
( light thrown upon them.
The letter says: "I am writting
:his letter to you to beg that you will
bend all your energies and lend all
your influence to heip Dr. Babcock
in uns crisis.
What "this crisis" is, of which he
speaks. I know not.
Now, gentlemen, here is this letter
containing these serious charges that
\ these men are attempting to manipu'
late the saie of this property, and as
to t their being unscrupulous, written
iind sealed under the seal of an envelope
of the unitcvl States senate,
by a United States senator, marked
in writing, "Personal," and when the
"* * * S~ ^ "3 Vv A
letter is opened n is iuuuu iu uc
marked "Personal" again. I ycall the
letter to your attention, and I state
the facts to you here, merely for the
kfc purpose of showing to you that I have
m* done my part to keep this property
from being sold, and that the gentle|
s men whom this m^n has seen fit to
I term as my "underlings and satellites"
are not doing what they are charged
in this letter with doing. I realize
that there is no action which you can
take in the matter, so far as the
wrriter of the letter is concerned, and
that the only thing which this message
to you can posibly accomplish is publicly
to expose this "personal" at!
tack upon these gentlemen's characters?an
attack which might have
been used against them without their
ever even knowing of it, had not this
muchly marked "personal" come into
my possession?in order that they may
<hav*> the rieht to come before you and
demand a full and free investigation,
in order that they may show to the
world that this "personal" attack is
V uncalled-for and unwarranted.
1^^.,. If further proof be needed to show
the errontcousness of this United
States senator's letter, I cite you to
the fact that I attended a meeting of
funs? AAmnn'ccinn loot VAQT
LilC wMiirvingy i uiiu Luuiiuiooiuii itwt ^ vw,* ^
at the request of Drs. Babcock and
Robert Wilson and Cel. Elbert H. Aull,
and that I asked Attorney General
Peeples to go with me, which he did.
At that meeting these gentlemen asked
?for a loan of $22,500 to carry on certain
work at State Park, saying that
rhe work would have to stop unless the
money could be secured. It was my
friend. Attorney General Peeples,
who rendered the opinion that the
sinking fund commission could make
the loan, and it was I who made the
* motion that the sinking fund commisB
sion lend the money, and the minutes
of the commission will show the fol
? lowing resolution, onerea oy me ax iae
K meeting on August 15, which was
yff adopted:
"Resolved, That $22,500 be loaned
to the State Hospital Commission
from the cumulative sinking fund for
the payment and redemption of S. C.
Brown 4% per cent, bonds, and that
the said loan be made by issuing
cumulative sinking fund warrant to
Dr. J. W. Babcock. chairman, and Mr.
E. H. Aull, secretary of the State Hos
; pital commission, to be used for the
purposes set forth in the foregoing es1
timate signed by the said E. H. Aull,
| secretary of the State hospital com|
mission, and for no other.
This certainly proves that 1 was
in favor of going on with the work
at State Park, and that my friends
were in favor of going on with the
work at State Park. You gentlemen
: failed to make an appropriation to
: carry on the work, and certainly none
! will accuse the majority of the senate
! or the majority of the house of being
: "underlings" or "satellites" of GoverI
nor Blease. On the contrary, it is the
f great boast of the newspapers and
others that the majorities in both
Chouses are bitterly opposed to Governor
Blease.
i And, further, if you will look today
j on the calendar of the house, you will
j see a bill there, among the first bills
. on the calendar?probably the very
first?urging the sale of the asylum
' property, this bill being fathered by
Messrs. Kibler, Belser and Robinson.
J Surely none will accuse them, or eith
I ei Ui laciu, ui ucmc, uuubi liu^u
I.
! "satellites" of Blease, for they boast
! of the fact that they were elected as
! anti-Bleaseites and that they are poj
litical enemies of the governor, and
: even when they meet him personally
i their animosity is so great they hardly
j speak. So, once again, you find that
it is not my friends who are attempting
to sell this property.
In fact, gentlemen, it does seem to
j me that some people, before they
| make such charges, certainly ought to
I have common sense enough to look
j up the record. Verbal conversations
may be misconstrued, but written
messages from the governor to the
! legislature, and written resolutions
j kept by the governor's enemies certainly
ought to record the truth,
j In this connection I desire to quote
[you in full message No. 51 of 1913,
f which went to the senate as a veto
; message, and came from the senate
j to the houses where the veto was sus'tained:
Message No. 51.
Gentlemen of the Senate:
I return to you herewith, without
my signature. Act No. 198 (senate No.
409, house Xo. 626), "to provide for
the transfer of the State Hospital for
the Insane to the State Park property,
and for the disposition of presj
ent plant and lands of said hospital."
1 In the first place, gentlemen, I am
| absolutely and unqualifiedly opposed
i *!?/> cola a# ii!a nrnncrfr CJf fhiu
j HP Hlf 3CUC V* I-juxo vpv4 ^j
i time. There is a crowd of people w<ho
have for years been fighting and
scrambling to get their hands on this
property, and 'I do not propose to let
j them get it through my hands, or
with my consent, for I do not propose
(to be a party to any such transaction.
Your attention has been called to this
matter on Che floor of the senate and
on the floor of the house, but it seems
that somebody has sufficent power to
get welll under way the movement
*"U ^
tor tne sacrmce 01 uiis proper ui wc
State's at this time.
Another reason, gentlemen, for my
declining to sign the measure is the
fe?t that this property Is wort a
$1,500,000 or $2^00,000. Why should
you place its value at $1,000,000 when
you know it is worth more?
In addition, gentlemen, the people
of South Carolina in the last election
'refused to vote bonds for this
State Park investment, and to go
ahead with it at this time would
; be to nullify the action of the
'people. You have no right to
^thwart that election and to attempt
to force the matter upon the
people of this State. It has been
argued that the people did not
| thoroughly understand the proposition
I because it was not sufficiently explain|
ed to them. Then pass another
'
jusi arrr
| Tennesse
FOR
OR CI
! amendment as to bonds and submit
it to the people attain next year, and
! get a set of men to run for office who
: are not afraid of what they have
Pdone, and will not simply go around
abnsiiu* one man, but who will take
' up the issues and discuss them like

after which date a penalty of-50 per
cent will be added against all persona,
firms or corporations failing to make
their returns as required by law. I
would dislike very much to have to
add this penalty but I am required
by law to do so. The law requires a
tax on all notes, mortgages and mon
eys, also an income tax on gross incomes
in excess of $2,500.
There shall be a capitation tax of
! fifty cents on all dogs, the proceeds
j to l"* expended for school purposes.

| courts of this State. 1
| All male persons from 21 t? 60
j.years, except Cenfejorate soldiers, or
| those persons incapable of earning a
; support by being maimed or from any
| other cause, are liable to pay a poll
[tax of one dollar.
Real Estate is to be assessed this
| year. Each tract or lot of land must
! be assessed separately. Also state
[to assessor whether you have bought
[ or sold any real estate since last rej
turn. The law requires that all property,
both real and personal, be as!
sessed "at its true value in i money,"
which is construed to mean, "The sum
of money for which said property, un|
der ordinary circumstances, would
sell for cash." f
Please don't ask ttiat your property
i be taken from the tax duplicate the
Isame as last year. The law requires
| that all property must be listed ?*

ly signed and sworn to by person mak(ing
return. Please be sure to hare
year returns in, on or before the 30th
of February, 1914.
