On Waiting List of State Training
School for Feeble Minded—Nine
From This County.^
(By Wm. P. Jacobs)
That the State Training School, lo
cated at Clinton, is rendering a re
markable service for the feeble mind
ed in South Carolina will be readily
appreciated when the list of enroll
ments by counties is considered. The
listw^-^Qjspllinenta^andjpending ap-
. plic»tton*--^ot-Qnly gives a graTify
ing idea of the gonSfal^fft
effects of the institution, as it touches
every nook and corner of the state;
but likewise presents an appealing
picture of the still greater opportuni
ties of service, that will be possible
with an increased capacity. The
enormity of the field can very readily
be appreciated when figures are con
sidered. Gov. Thomas G. McLeod, in
addressing the legislature, estimated
conservatively that there are today in.
our state, at least 2,000 feeble mind
ed children who should be in the
Training School df our State. The
present enrollment of the institution,
limited only bg the equipment, is
only 216. An excellent beginning,
but oh, what a great opportunity and
what a tremendous field yet uncared
for. The list below does not give a
sufficiently adequate picture, for no
county is exempt from the need of
ihe service of such an institution.
sible to such an extent in *- large
general dormitory. Not all of the
children show improvement, in spite
of vigorous, patient teaching under
normal conditions. With such a
limited equipment, however, the chil
dren of differing types and grades in
improvement must necessarily inter
mingle, mqch to the detriment of
those of higher grades. Such chil
dren are easily lead, easily influenc
ed. The lower grades are constant
ly a distributing element, making
accepted in sequence of receipt and
ceedingly slow and difficult. A larg

state, the results of the project can
be easily observed and a true pic

this plan is portrayed by the work
that has been accomplished without
any appropriation for the purpose.

The appropriation recently request

ties would take care of the present
waiting list, and would be a great
blessing to South Carolina. It is safe
to believe, however, that another and
probably still larger waiting list
would immediately form as soon as
the present one is taken care of.
Colonization.
Ope interesting feature of the work
at the school is the colonization of
differing types. Such a system in
volving the placing of a few children
of similar types colonies under
capable care and separating them
from the main body has enabled the
institution a very small equipment to
care for an astonishingly large num
ber comparatively. Colonization has
furthermore made possible a close

Presbyterian Church, -nineteen miles
east of this city, was destroyed by
fire this morning, involving a loss
estimated at $65,000.
Seventy-five girls, students at the
normal school, and ten teachers,
domiciled in the building, escaped
without injury.

TWICE-TOLD TESTIMONY
Clinton People Are Doing All They
Can for Fellow Sufferers.
Clinton testimony has been pub

from bad backs and kidney ills. Lest
any sufferer doubt this evidence trf

Notice of an appeaF to Hit sUpreme j^jjnton casei —
court of South Carolina was imme
diately filed by C. G. Wyche of Dean,
Cothran & Wyche, counsel for the
defense, on pronouncement of the
sentence and order fixing Abercrom
bie’s bond in the amount of $10,000,
pending a hearing in the supreme
court, was signed by Judge Dennis
before he left the court room.
, \
The case was one of the hardest
fights staged in the Greenville coun
ty court room in years and an im
posing array of legal talent was lin
ed up on both sides. David W.
Sttnoak, circuit solicitor, was assist
ed in the prosecution by Proctor Bon
ham and James H. Price.
Mrs. Joe Chandler, 61 Florida St.,
says: “The first symptom I had of
kidney trouble was back&che. When
I swept, sharp pains shot down from
the small of my back and fairly drove
me wild. I was nervous and had
pains in the back of my head. My
kidneys didn’t act right at all. I
also had dizzy spells and would near
ly fall. I heard about Doan’s Pills
and got a box. The first gave me
relief and two boxes cured me.”
(Statement given November 19, 1914).
On January 21, 1922, Mrs. Chand
ler said: “Time has not changed my
opinion of Doan’s. They cured me
of an attack of kidney trouble and I
have not been bothered since. I
gladly confirm all L said-before.” -
