Asaembl/ Itefuaed to Meet His
Family Physician, Ur. Houaeal,
Ti uHle<» of the Medicnl C/olleRe, and
Ho Gives Him Dr. Ilabcock’a
Place.
Dr. W. OuBtave Houeeal, of New
berry, was appointed by Governor
Please as superintendent of the State
Hospital for the Insane Thursday
night, succeeding Dr. J. W. Babcock
was sent to the Senate, and by re
quest af the Governor, was read in
open session. An executive session
was held by the Senate to pass on
fhe appointment.
Gov. Hlease had expected Dr. Hous
eal to be elected a member of the
board of trustees of the Charleston
Medical College and said that lie
gave the position of superintendent
of the State Hospital for the Insane
to Dr. Houaeal to show what- ho
thought of him, the Governor being
very much disappointed over the fail
ure of the General Assembly t« elect
Dr. Houseal as a trustee of the Med
ical College.
Dr. Houeeal ie a resident of New
berry and the personal physician of
the Ooveraor. Dr. Babcock was ap
pointed superintendent of the Asylum
by Governor Tillman during his first
term In the early 90s and )u»s
held the poaltton ever since. The
Constitution gives the Governor the
right to appoint the superintendent
and board of regents of the State
Hoaplta! for the Insane.
The naming of Dr. Houseal to suc
ceed Dr Babcock came as a great sur
prise to the General Assembly and to
people generally, and caused much
discussion The reason for the ap
pointment Is attributable to the fail
ure of the Genergl Assembly to nsrne
Dr Houseal as a trustee of the M<d-
ipal College m
The Senate went Into executive
session at once to consider the ap
pointment pf Dr W G Houseal as
superintendent of the State Hospital
for the Inssne A hot debate took
plac* over the matter, and during
ths course of the discussion the
splendid work which Dr Babcock baa
done for the State Asylir.n was laud
ed by nember after member Dr.
Houeeni was referred to In highest
terms, but (he Senate not approve
of the Governor’s attempted ousting
of Dr Babeock
The slatoinsnts that the CsnatUu-
tion requires that the board of re
gents of the Asylum and the super
Inlendenl be appointed with the ad-
vtcs consent of the Senats, that
the ('onetllution forbids the holding
of any office f r life, except that of
notary public, and. that the appoint
ment of Dr. Houseal was Illegal,
were brought out during the thresh

debated the matter until after mid
night, when a vote was taken on the
appointment.

Ho Warns Them .Not to be .Misled by
the Freeent Prices, and Asks Co
operation.
“The planting season ia upon us
now. Stop and think for a day or
tw# before yeu Listen to the siren
soag of 13 cents,” says K. J. Watson,
commissisner of agriculture of South
Carolina and president of the South
ern Cotton congress in an address to
the farmers of the South, issued re
cently, in which he urges a reduction
of cotton acreage daring the coming
season.
“The cotton growers of the South,’
savs the commiaaloner, “have passed
through two of the most trying years
in the history of cotton. At this time
last year these who have been in the
forefront of the fight to maintain a
living price for cotton against abnor
mal conditions, made possible by
American and foreign market meth
ods, which as yet are ptWmitted to
exist, were lending every energy to
bring about a reduction of acreage
or at least to prevent an increase of
acreage. Conditions following the
huge crop of 11 1, and hard work
made this possible. The price on
the crop just harvested was kept
st eady.
"A more serious situation con
fronts you now and hence this word
of warning. With the price of the
1913 crop remaining fairly good and
steady all the season through the ar
gument of the manipulators will be
that the cotton farmer of the South
will yield to temptation and do as he
has done hundreds of times before -
; lant more acreage to cotton, on the
assumption that the price will stay
up This expectation you have Jus
tified in the past and It will be used
from the start, l.'nder present laws
and established .methods, though the
world demand be for a crop [Hissibly
larger than 1 (..MiO.iiOu bales. I want
tw say to you It will be suicidal to In
crease your acreage It Is more Im
portant to hold yourself and your ac-
reage In check this year than ever be
fore To yield to the temptation of
an increased price this season will be
equivalent to proving yourself devoid
of even common sense
The planting season Is upon us
now Stop and think for a day or
two before you listen te the siren
song of 13 cents The danger of you
and yours Is greater by far than last
vear If you mum have a larger
acreage on your farm, put the In
crease in corn and other food crops
As one who has striven to aid you In
the hour of need and has been faith
ful to the trust Imposed In him. let
me entreat vu to hold your acreage
down arid prove to the world tha*
>ou are not obliged to rush m an 1
to whn' every cotton broker In New
York Liverpool and elsewhere ex
pe< t you to do for your own undoing
and the enrichment of others
In this State I have endeavored to
get the general assembly to enaut a
simple cotton statistics gathering law
that will force facts on the world
when they should be (hero not when
It Is too late, this measure, which
would aid In some degree, is not yet
a law Oklahoma already has It, and
yovw organisations have all asked for
i* In every cotton State
' Again let me beg of you to watch
your acreage, and let good sense in-
intendnnt of the 8tate Hospital for | stead of lack of Judgment guide you
In fhe planting of your crop this year.
If you don't you will face In the fall
a situation that may be the most se
rious you have ever faced.
“If you don't do your part new,
don't say then that you were noi
w anted.
“The fight for Justice te America’s
greatest money crop can not be won
by a few men year after year; it
must command the personal co-opera
tion of every grower of cotton."
ths Insane, and Dr. Babcock will
hold over. The vote came after .n.d-
night; and Ivefore U was taken the
governor for his action was severe-
hls action. The reason assigned by
the Governor for his action as severe
ly! denounced. The vote shows that
even Governor Blease's friends In the
.Senate refused to sustain him.
Governor Blease was on the floor
of the Senate'when his message first
came In, but left soon afterwards.
Hli sudden action caused a sensa-
;ti«n. It ia conceded on all sides that
’Dr Babcock, who Is a close personal
•■friend of Senator Tillman, has no su-
parior In the country as a superin-
’tendont of insane asylums, and the
•refusal of the Senate to vote for his
•renjeval will meet with the approval
• of fhe public generally. He is un
doubtedly the right man In the right
ftlace.

Pair! Boy’s Fare a* He Was About
to be Put Off of Traia and Took
Him Home with Him.
The News and Courier says Clyde
Rentx, the 13-year old hoy who van
ished from his home at Lakeland. Fla
on January 23, and for whom aince
that date a fruitless search has been
maintained by his relatives In this
State and In Florida, has been found
on a farm seven miles from Tim-
monsville. Mr. Pic Purvlc, a plant
er of that section came to the assls
tance of the little lad as he was
about t© be put off a train in Geor
gia, and taking the lost youngster
homo with him, has cared for him
ever since. An account in The News
ami Courier concerning the disap
pearance of the boy was the means
of the discovery of the lad by his
relatives after they had almost giv
en up hope of seeing him again.
Clyde Itentz is the son of Mr. I)
P. Rentz, of Lakeland, Florida
When Clyde was two days old his
mothiT died and he was sent to live
with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs
■lacoh G. Rentz, who reside, mar
Brumliville, in this county. He n
maim-d with his grandparents t i
la'-. Hipi i<i, when h“ wa nt 'a '
fathers home In Florida. He d ; s
appeared from Lakeland on January
23 and since that date all efforn ;o
find him have been vain.
The first clue to where the ho>
went when he vanished was report
od in The News and Courier Tues
day A Charleston man. travelling
on a north-bound Coast Line train
from Jacksonville to Charleston on
January 23. saw on the train a little
lad who gave his name as Clyd
Rentz, and who stated that he had
lost his father in Jacksonville and
had boarded the train, thinking tha
his father was in one of the coarh-s
The Charlestonian stated that th
conductor had put the lad off the
train at Folkston, Ga.
It now appears that Mr Pic Pur
vis. a farmer of the Timinonsvill
section who was also on th»* train at
the time, paid the box's fare In or
der to prevent the conductor from
putting him off. and then took th
lad with him to fils home On Mr
1’urvls farm, seven miles from Tim
monsxille. Clyde Rentz has been llx
lug happily ever since Mr I’urvl
bought him a suit of clothe* an
some books and started him at
t< hool, and the lad seamed perfectly
happy
Although diligent search i
made for the lad from the time of
I:la d:*.tpp* arance. the case was nut
reported to t t.e news;apers until
uboi.t a woek ago Then an ar'nl
xx .is p ibi shed in The News and
Cournr narrating the c;r> uti.stan
of the lad •« d.sap; e.irance. and tf.i
was followed by sex.ral other aril
cle* of the same general sort. On
of these article* In The News an
Ceuner was seen by Mr Purvis and
he at one* communicated wit
Clyde's grandfather at Branchvllle
An uncle of Clyde s, Mr Peter Rentz
immediately went to Mr Purvis
farm to get the youngster.
Among those who aided In the
searrch for the little fellow was the
Rev K A McDowell, of Fhrhardt
The following letter from Clyde's
grandfather to the Rev M McDowell
speaks eloquently of the gladness
which the discovery of the boy h
brought to one South Carolina
bora©:
"The Rev K. A. McDowell, Khr
bardt, S. C. —My Dear Brother: We
have found Clyde; he Is at Tlmmons-
vllle, 8. C. My son, Dr. Peter Rentz,
has gone for him.
"Leaving Lakeland, Fla., Clyde
boarded a train between Jackson
ville, Fla., and Charleston. Having
no money to pay his fare the con
ducu r was about to put him off,
when man form Timmonsvllle en
gaged him In conversation. Clyde
told him his parents were dead and
that ho was hunting for a home. The
man paid his fare and took him to
his home in Timmonsvllle. He
bought for him a suit of clothea and
some books and started him to
school; said he seemed perfectly sat
isfied and was doing well. He saw
the article about Clyde's disappear
ance in The News and Courier and
at once wrote to me. So the dead is
aliver and the lost is found. Thank
God! And may the Lord bless you
for the interest you have taken in
the matter and the help you and the
Vapers have given us in flindlng him.
“I have hope of seeing my poor
little lost boy before to-morrow
night. I feel like a new man, I am
so happy. Thank God!
“I am gratefully and fraternally,
yours,
“Jacob G. Rentz.’’

John G. Ricluu-ds Jr., Mendel L.

The race for governor next year
promises to be a lively one. Some
time ago Attorney-General Peeples
announced his candidacy, and now
three other candidates have shied
their hats in the ring, as Teddy wohld
say.
The Columbia correspondent of
The News, and Courier says when ask
ed Tuesday night about the matter.
Railroad Commissioner John G. Rich

is serving a second term as railroad
commissioner and previously saw sev
eral years’ service in the House. He

shaw County.
Speaker Mendel I,. Smith, of the
