BY CHARITIES BOARD < ft Will Undertake to Examine Jaits, Chain Gangs and Poor < c Houses This Summer. i . . i *T* J Columbia, June 15.?An examination of all of the institutions in South ' Carolina over which it has visited and * advisory powers will be undertaken ( by the State Hoard of Crarities and 1 Corrections before the summer ends. * In order that the State may derive ' the greatest possible good from this * examination of county jails, chan- ( gangs and poorhouses, as well as * State penal, charitable and correction- 1 al institutions, the State Board of j i Charities and Corrections and its of-1 ficers are making careful comparison j of reports of boards of charities in other states to see what data they have found most useful in mapping out reforms in the management of institutions under their care. The South Carolina board has already made a| preliminary study of the penitentiary and the State Hospital for the Insane. The board is closely in touch now with the Hoard of Regents of the hospital and is fully informed of the changes in management the regents' are putting into effect. The State Hoard of Charities and Corrections, after making its Statewide survey of, institutions of a penal, charitable ami correctional character, expects to co-1 operate with the officials in charge of, all of them in bringing about im-l provements in the conditions sur-1 rounding the inmates of these places ami in undertaking any needed informs in the system of managing them. t For the Board of Regents of the State Hospital for the Insane, the | fiscal agent of the State Board of| Charities and Corrections will pre-1 form the important service of investigating the financial status of patients in the hospital. Those patients who are found to be able to pay either part or the whole of the cost of their treatment will be required to do so by the Board of Regents upon receipt of a report to this effect from the State Board of Charities and flnrvpp- I tions. Albert S. Johnstone, secretary of. the State Board of Charities and j Corrections, will visit especially successful boards of charities in other i states to get a first-hand view of their > methods of work. ; THE CIVIC LEAGUE j INVITES THE PUBLIC TO PATRONIZE THE CASINO THEATRE On Friday Night, June 18 A per cent of the proceeds on this night will go to the Civic League.

As a physician, he enjoyed : very large practice and among all classes and conditions of men, he held a supremo ionfidence, a respect and esteem that is vouchsafed to but few me \ He was naturally retiring in dis position and while never striving for popularity yet those who knew him well knew that his constant desire was to serve and help his fellow men. He was a man devoted to home, loved, not only his own children, but also by every boy and girl throughout this en 1 till section. A proof of this lies in the fact that he was untiring in his efforts to provide for the educational interest of the children and community. In consequence, as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Tabor Graded School he was primarily instrumental in the erection of a magnificent school building, which stands as a greater monument to his memory than could have been placed otherwiseHe was also a banker, druggist, farmer and figured materially in other enterprises foremost in the Town of Tabor. He was a devoted member of the Methodist Church. Dr. Floyd was a son of Adjutant General and Mrs. Harriett Pettil Floyd. He was bom January 11, 1874 1 and was 41 years of age at the time of his death. For two years he attended the Ruffordton College, where : he received his preparatory education and then he sj>ent one year in Medical College at Charleston, S.C. - After this he joined the Army during r the Spanish American War and served ; as Hospital Steward. After the war was over he returned to the Medical College where he graduated in Medicine with distinction, in the Class of 1902. Following this he practiced medicine one year at Liberty Hill, S. I C., three years (100.S-190(5) at Green Sea, S. C., and at Tabor 190(1 until . death. He was admitted to the South i Carolina Medical Society June 1900 and to North Carolina Medical Society 1907.
