Other good men will doubtless offer, but at this time we believe Featherstone is the most suitable man in|the State, and as we view the matter now. he is our man for the office. Th«- on f the Legislature a p< rntid a committee of senators and nq u-sentet.ves to investigate condit ;i <* at the otate Hospital f*>r the insane. The committee exhaus tively investigated conditions and submitted two reports: A majority report signed by Senators Christen sen and Bates and Representatives Harrison and Dick, recommending the issuance of $1,000,000 bonds, and calling for the introduction of the bill for the removal of the institu tion. a separation of the races, ‘'and the disposal of the present property. The minority report signed by Sena tor Harden and Representatives , * Sawyer and Carey, opposed the bond issue, and favored the purchase of 1200 acres within ten miles of Columbia for erecting a Hospital for the negro patients, leaving the old n Hospital for the whites, and adding some improvements. The bill embodying the recommen dations of the majority report was berg. The State says: C. W. Garn* was railroad com missioner for mx years and was not infrequently referred to a® the man of brain* of that board. He passed out of service and the public forgot; there wa® no enduring mark left as a reminder. But Mr. Garris return ed to the house of representatives. Many men ac'laim boisterously about helping the “poor man,” and doing something for the ••common people.” but when they get the op portunity 99out of 100 appear to im agine that the way to help the “poor man” is to hurt somebody who in't poor, and that doing something for the "common peop.e,” consists in clubbing somebody not classed with the ‘’common people.” Of course, these fail to do anything but gain a moment’s notoriety, and they pass from the stage to oblivion. within th»* h-gal Dour® of scle. j Ail that piece, parcel or tract of , land situate in Adams Run township, county ami btoie aforesaid, oon'ain- ing (591 fifty nine acres, more or lea*, and bounded a* follows; North 1 by lands of Rodgsrs M iller, east by Tea Farm sod Roper Run, southeast by Jackson boro Road, and west by land* of John Rivera.
