Favorable to All Necessary Expenditures in State. Columbia, Dec. 30.?No recomnenaation of appropriations which .vill impair the progress of'the state n matters of education, good roads, tealtli and sanitation, and those hings which increase the morale of he people will be made by him, said jovernor Cooper-today, in a letter to Valter B. Wilbur, an attorney and fitancier of Charleston. The expression )f the executive was in answer to a etter from Mr. Wilbur, in which the atter says he is fearful that the reported retrenchments of the Budget commission will strike at something rital in the structure of the state government^and. will retard progress. Mr. Wilbur, in his letter, dated Dec. 27, fears that "in any programme >f retrenchment sacrifices will be made of some of the activities the ralue of which is not properly appreciated, but which activities constitute :he most vital and constructive work :he state is doing." and concludes ;hat it is much more important icy nterpret the state's progress and con-j :inue to move forward, than to save :ome money by admitting the dispensibility of any of the institutions the state- now has or ought to have. Admitting that there possibly are measures of economy which could be ;aken along progressive lines to save ;he taxpayers money. Mr. Wilbur ;akes the position that he can only emphasize the general proposition :hat whatever money we spend in adrancing the general well-heing of the state is equalizing opportunity, in promoting public health, in facilitatng transportation, and is strengthening the morale of our people, is economically spent." i i Stating tnat any, persuii Kuumug he condition of the state must realize hat there is an absolute necessity >f "a programme of strict economy" ind any expediture which is not irnlerative must be deferred for the iresent. The governor's lefter, written yeserday, says: "I am in receipt of your favor of he 27th instant. "The formal statement which I lave made with reference to the state mdget for 1921 was given to the )ress several days ago. I think every jerson who is familiar with condiions in the state realizes the absolute lecessity of a programme of strict ;conomy and that we should deter, or the present, any expenditures vhich is not imperative. If you have rotten the impression, however, from my statement attributed to me that would favor retrenchment to the extent of injuring any institution or iepartment of the state government, >r retarding in any way the substanial progress made in the matter of ?ood roads, health and sanitation, education and in the reform of our >enal and corrective institutions, such mpression is an erroneous one. I feel, however, that we can defer, for i time, such matters as permanent mprovement and expansion of many ictivities without doing them serious njury. "In the matter of good roads, pubic health work and education# I fully igree with your view. It may be posible to reduce appropriations on some )f these items, but I shall never consent to the adoption of any policy vhich will hinder a continual and! i jontinuous advance along these lines, j [f there was ever a time in the his;ory of the state when we could not ifford to neglect our educational inerests. that time is now. "I expect to discuss these matters n detail when the legislature convenes, and I am satisfied, when you tnow my position fully, you will see hat the economies and retrenchments vhich I will suggest will be consistent with the policy of progress and ievelopment. I "I wish to thank you very much mr your letter. I only wish that we aad more men who felt as you do md who would express their convictions as you have." ' ' mm ?w? Burglar With a Heart. Chicago, Dec. 22.?A Christmas burglar "with a heart" heeded the plea of Ruth Mailev, aged 10, not to take her Christmas present, when she found him in her home yesterday on her return from school for lunch. The burglar was eating her lunch, which had been left by her mother, before going down town shopping.' He took her to the parlor and played little jingles and Christmas songs an the piano for her. When she told him she would have to return to school he said: "Tell your mother I'll return some day and steal everything in the house." but he left without taking anything. m > m Of the more than 1,300 jurors drawn for duty in the Philadelphia courts during January, 185 were women. PHYSICIAN UPHELD. _____ j Case of Dr. Hell, of MeCormiek, Interesting. Columbia. Dec. 30.?Physicians over the state are especially interested in an opinion recently handed down by the supreme court in which the court holds that a doctor who uses j his best- medical knowledge in a case, yet it is discovered later that his diagnosis was incorrect, is not liable I for damages from the patient. This opinion, of course, only applies to physicians, who, in the opinion of the court, have put forth their best efforts to determine the trouble with j the patient. The case in question arose in MeCormiek countv, when J. T. Dillishaw i and -his wife brought suit against Dr. D. A. J. Bell to recover damages for the alleged failure of Dr. Bell to properly perform his duties to Airs. Dillishaw. Facts from the opinion handed down by the supreme court show that Mrs. Dillishaw is the mother of several children, and in arising from her bed on the night of October 26, 1917, to attend-to one of the children sue sustained an injury to one of her knees. Dr. Bell was called in to attend Mrs. Dillishaw, and after a hurried examination found the injury too painful and complicated to deter-j mine at once the exact extent of the wound. He wanted to make a thorough examination and returned to his home to obtain an anaesthetic so he could examine the injury closely. The doctor obtained the anaesthetic and returned to the Dillishaw home, accompanied by Dr. Mattison. Both these physicians diagnosed the injury I as a torn muscle and bandaged it as such. Dr. Bell then treated the knee injury as that of a torn muscle. The wound did not heal after some time had elapsed and Dr. Fuller was called up by the family. He dignosed the injury as a broken knee cap or patella. Dr. Fuller called in Dr. Neel and the latter was doubtful as to the exact nature of the injury. Later an X-ray was made of the injury and this determined beyond question that the knee cap was broken and that Dr. Fuller was correct in his diagnosis. An operation was then performed and the knee healed. In tie meantime Dr. Bell quit the case after another physician had oeen canea in. Mr. and Mrs. Dillishaw brought suit against Dr. Bell and a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff by the circuit court. Dr. Bell moved for a nonsuit and a directed verdict in his favor. Judge Prince refused both these motions. Dr. Bell then appealed to the supreme court and this higher tribunal has reversed the lower court. The high court says that a verdict should have been directed in favor of the defendant. Dr. Bell. In discussing the case, the court says that the two main points were whether or not Dr. Bell had been negligent in making the diagnosis and whether or not he had been negligent in treating the injury. The court says that the evidence shows that Dr. Bell was not negilenf in either instance and could not have been held to blame for the wrong diagnosis and possible wrong treatment of the injury.
