about 35 years of age and weighs
about 250 pounds. He came to th?
city of Newberry sometime last Wed
nesday and registered at the National
hotel as George Peters of Now York,
representing h furniture house in
Philadelphia. He immediately pro
ceeded to sell furniture and to collect
just enough to defray freight charges
in order to show good faith in the
party purchasing same. { t
So far as known only one ftrroJn,

the Shamrock Tea RooVn, operated by
Mr. and Mrs. Mack Welling, who gave j
the man a check for, $40 for freight
on the furniture ordered. He proceed

State Hospital Is Overcrowded.
I The "following letter has been re
ceived by Probate .Judge W. L. Mc
Dowell :
"Mr. W. L. McDowell,
Camden, S. C.
My dear Judge:
"For sometime I have been writing
you about the overcrowded conditions
at the hospital, particularly in the
quartern for the negro race. The ad
mission rate for all departments has
been so great for the past six months
that ttye hospital has become taxed to
its utmost capacity. It has been the
policy of the Board of Regents to
permit over-crowding in order to pre
vent patient# having to be cared for
in jallfc, but the overcrowding has be
cd/Hfc' io great that the limit has been
reached.
"This matter wag presented to the
Board at the regular monthly meeting
oh August 9th and I was instructed to
approve only the applications for the
violent and urgent cases *until condi
tions are relieved. ,
"In the future when dealing with
emergency cases, please communicate
with the hospital prior to sending the
patient, so we will know who to ex
pect.
"Your full co-operation is sought in
discouraging the applications of per
sons who can possibly be cured at
home.
Yours very truly,
C. F. Williams,
Superintendent."
