t.nt conditions at the Statu lloxpltal
for the lUHftlW were reviewed .venter
day by <?ov. Manning before the joint
assembly, ou special Invitation from
The member*. The chief executive's
<leur and lucid exi>osltton of the proh
leum met and conquered ami those }ct.
to be dealt with effectively showed
how near to the heart of <Jov. Man
ning is the institution.
The governor told of condition# ex
Istlng befoiV the advent of Superinten
dent Williams and emphasized the im
provement that haH taken place under
the present regime. More patlenta
have been added, yet by efficient ad
ministrative measures the expepse*
have been considerably cut .The in
auguration of occupational training
has been a decided success, iik wan at
tested by the many striking example*'
that he gave.
When Governor , Manning made his
api>earauce at the shaker's desk he
(waa greeted by hearty applause from
the representatives and senators. A
number of persons were in the gal
lery aud on the floor of the house.
The - governor prefaced his meaaage,
which was*apoken, by sayHig that he
was not critical of any one, but he
would deal with actual conditions. He
said that when he became governor
the conditions at the State hospital
were Intolerable; in fact the patient*
merely were In -the custody of the au
thorities.
There is a decided improvement In
conditions at present, he claimed. Dur
ing their visit to the asylum last year
the legislators saw cold and unpala
table food; this year there was gOod
food in abundance; last year the fire
[facilities W^lfe Inoperative, because of
misfitting hose, this year the flre-flght
lng apparatus is in good condition,
the care of women patients shows
marked advancement, and the "re
straint" treatment Is no longer used,
and tbie effects of the discontinuance
ibows benefits accrued.
Gov. Manning nrgently stressed the
necessity of a continuance of the good
ivork, which was inaugurated with the
change in the management. This
change was necessary, he sakl. The
chief .executive- then took up -the - in
crease In the ' salary of the superin
tendent. He said that the salary of
the official is fixed in the appropria
tion bill ; there is no act specifying
the yearly stipend for the head of the
asylum.' IJtfU^revteweAhow he had
worked to secure nn efficient adnduls
t ration for the State H^ltal for the
Intitule. One of executive tbHttf and
humane tendencies. How it was im
possible- to ttuU surh (I man fur the
?iMH>0 and the perquisite*, which
Amount to approximately 91.8(H) an
nually. When lie thought of the i.soo
itYmaten nt the ? Institution, said the
chief executive, he knew the hUhest
type of physician hiuI scientist was ne
cessa ry to carry ou the work. There
wn h nq provision for increasing the
superintendent's salary, and the ques
tion wan whether he should make the
l>ersonal sacrifice In seeurlug the wan
that could till the i>osltlon.
After he had made up. his mind,
stated the governor, he found that he
could borrow $2, .'175 at .'i per cent to
ltuiure the employment of the man he
had iutnlud. The arrangement wan
made for one year, watd (3uv. Man-1
nlng, and It was now up to the legis
lature to provide for the Increase In '
salary. The salary of the year past j
the governor made as a contribution, I
willingly and gladly, but he cannot
carry' the burden further. The ar
rangement 1ms proven satisfactory, he
averred, and It is uow up to the gen
eral assembly as to whether the effi
cient superintendent shall be retained.
While there has been an increase at
the Htate Hospital, yet there has been
a saving in expenses compared with
last year of over $1,400. Also thero
Iihm been retained 22 more trained
nurses lyid the services of 10 addition
al physicians have beeu secured. He
explained how a large part of this sav
ing has been accomplished. By a re
distribution of labor, the employment
of patient* In tasks to which they
Were adapted and were willing to pur
sue, a large imrt of this expense was
reduced. He explained that .where the
former administration was wont, to
purchase whiskey by the barrel, now
there was only one quart of Intoxi
cating liquors vn month used at the in
stitution. This effected a considera
ble saving, he claimed.
Gov. Manning gave many incidents,
many of them brimful of human in
terest, where the present system of
occupational treatment has immensely
benefited patients ? some of them leav
ing the State hospital with clear mental
faculties. He showed that the awaken
ing of the inmates' Interest in various
occupations had been the cause of the
strengthening Of their minds. In the
asyluni there are now 809 patients re
ceiving occupational treatment, doing
such tasks for which they ate adapted
and are willing to do.
Mary IHcUfortl us "Little Pal" at The
) Majc?(ic Tuesday.
Gov. Manning mh id that the regents
had found a balance of $17,885 and
the board would drop the request of
$20,000 for equipment. He earnestly
urgftd the legislature . to grant the re
quest for $325,000 tuade for 1 aln
tenance. stressing the necessity of ap
propriating every cent. ;He said that
he felt Justltled in the employment of
Dr. Fred Williams, which ran up to
February 15, 101(1. He explained that
Dr. Williams received a straight sal
ary of $500 a month aud no per
quisites.
In conclusion Gov Manning said:
"I will leave this matter In your
hands, with confident assurance that,
with the full understanding of the
conditions of this Institution and of
Its imperative needs, you will dis
charge that obligation In such a way
that it will be a credit to you, repre
senting the i>eop!e of South Carolina ;
that It will be a credit to the State of
South Carolina, and will show to the
world that we are Christians living In
a Christian land, and recognizing the
highest purposes to discharge our
duties, both to Ood and our suffering
fellowmen.',

THE STOCKING
Slimsy Article Plays Large Part in
The World's Affairs.
- ? ? ________ |
? l^nr so kIIthmV a tiling the stocking
plays a large part in the 'world's af
fairs. ~ When empty it has come to
stand as the emhlem of jx>verty, a/id
yet when filled it is the cause of as
much trouble as the charms of Helen
of Troy, or as any other famous beau
ty in love's tragic register. There are
few magnets ho powerful in their pull
on the masculine eye as a stocking
in its proper place, few things that
bring such constant relief to the le
gendary tired business man as a whirl
of stockings covering the legs of nim
ble, graceful and shapely i>erformer?,
which appear with Harry A. Emerson
at Camden opera- house on January
28th. Silk stockings have broken up
homes. To wear stockings is so gen
eral a that to 05?!t.Uiia.artidc
of attire W to win permanent fame,
as in the case of Jerry Himpson. Aud
yet the wearing of them and tho omis
sion of the practice, in recent instances,
set ajl the world of two of our best
known watering places agog. Last sea
son, while Mr. Emerson was playing
Newport, a lady In search of the hum
ble sensation-making appeared at the
Casino wearing a white stocking and
.n black one, with shoes of the same
hues to iqatch. Newport dropped all
its intellectual discussions and gave
Jtself over txx argument as to- whether
it should take up a fad which seems
to have been copied from the color
scheme of the Winter Garden. "So
ciety" seems to have committed the
common theatrical slu of "stealing our
fltttff;"
Another case of stockings was at At
lantic City, where the edict has gone
forth that hereafter all feminity that
goes bathing must wear these essen1
tlals to the complete costume. If At
lantic City nymps, in following this
rule, should take up the Newport cus
tom, it will be difficult for some men
to make out whether they are look
ing as barber shop totem poles or chan
nel buoys. ? adv. -?

1 1 the General Assembly of South
Carolina would do the people of this
State a real service they would take
up the question of quack doctors, med

late some against them. , It appears to
us that Sooth Carol ln*has even more
than her share of this class of people
and they certainly do prey upon the Ig
norant, and uninformed. Again, their
practices are often dangerous, some
times resulting in partial or total dis

there is some such law:; as this on the
