The Advertiser has not attempted to Vrint all the testimony in the Asylum probe in Columbia. To have attempt ech would have been an almost Impossible task for -a weekly newspa per. Today, however, we print the tUtemeint of 'Dr. Eleanora Saunders, 1' rilliant and able, yet self-sac rifleing woman to whose unhappy lot It fell to conibit alone unfair charges and false insinuations by the governor of' outh Carolina. The picture she brs maide in the investigationi has -been one to command the honor, ad ir'ion and respect of every true hearted South Carolinian. She has rel the enemy at every ohslaught and Cr-ime out victorious on each occasion. I ne'ig more dispicable than to at t"- t to blacken this good woman's C 'eter in order to oust her for fav ore friends, has ever before been 1r. - public in the politics of this t . urely the manhood of South C'"ellna will assert itself and free the st:it of a politician who would S . i so low as to atteipt I) besmirch Sm'si';i character to gain a petty Ti llT RiaAL P lOLlCE'.

Irby, provid I' or nmn election on the question of F 4hing the rural )olice system in t'V county, may be found in another Columnu of this 1pper. We .presume It I-: the endorsement of the entire Co ty de'legation. As anticipated in ( -emiar ks last wveek, th~e bIll makes ne .rovislon for a vote on a change in tho system, only providing for or t ist it.; diseontinuance, thus rob l- it of its real value, viz., to pro T'a w iy for the peopile to erpre'ss t true opiion on the subject. Why t' lelow~ tion should trIfle with the pe:'le in such manner, wve are una 1 o unlderstandil~ for they must be e e thMt the general de': tand is for t' nt ire system to be pliaced under ti1. lrection of the sherIff or some C ty oflicer rather than a state ofi c- s now. "gardless of the inture, however, it ait he~ pointed out that the rural police situation in Laurens county Is but one Instance of had government in "'outhi Carolina and that the uin satUsfeetory conditions may be traced directly to the "government for my friends" policy now so piopular. IEv eryhody at all acquinited with the -rural pollce system knows that when It was first institutedl In this county it prodlued v.iialale results and that oni;: when the governor of South Car ohina injectedi pollties in it by ap pointling meni as pol1icemnen because of p' oneal friendship andl regardless of tlh -fitness that. the trouble began. '* als'o know that these men have beenm kept in office despito official crit i - in I he shape of grand jury re * : etc., lbut nothing has been (lone : '3medy mat~ters, because the ap 1p.tees were "friends" of the gov , ' The system has become suchi C uproducjtive burden on the COun tat even our delhegation, elected on t' lease -platform, has come to real I ts uselessness under present con d as andg hence the bill for the - 'en, *t why the election, anyway? Thue ' ation Is certainly aware of the v point in the system. Why could ~. bill lbe introdued providing for I .ppointnient of these officers by t 'heriff, or by ome county officer Sen by an election. lEven in ease eople vote for the continuance of the proset41 system they have no uar antee that it will be any better In. the future. Certainly, it the present forces remain in power at the seat of gov ornment in Columbia, the same may be ext-acted in the future as in the past. It looks to us as if the delegation is a little afraid to do anything at all about the matter, desiring to shift the responsibility on the people them solves. It is easy to see that a bill providing for a change in the police system. would -mean a virtual ac knowledgement of misrule in Colum bia and a "flaunting- of the red flag" in the face of the administration. In view of the approaching election, the delegation doubtless thought it boot to "play safe". OUR ElRIAL STORY. It has been a long time since The Advertiser has published a serial story in Its columns. However, we believe that we have been very fortu-) nate in securing a very readible storf by -lallie Frminie Rih'es which start in this issue. We would like for ihl of our readers to begin reading it with this issue and we are sure that after once it is started the story will be foilowed to its conclusion. In case general interest is aroused in it we will begin a new one on the comple tion of this one and for this reason we would like to be informed by our subscribers whether or not they (Ie sire this class of reading uatter. Some extra expense and trouble is entailed by the publication of these stories, but if the public evidences any apprecia tion of them The Advertiser will pub lish them with .pleasure. We would urge all of our readers to begin "The Valiants of Virginia" today. 0 0 . A GUARDIAN ANGEL. We would print here just a para graph or two from the testimony of Dr. icleanora 13. Saunders to show the kind-heartei ijiterest which she took in her unfortunate patlents, as a con trast to the picture the governor of South Carolina would draw of her as being the source of irritation in the hospital for the insane. "And we write the family the next day, because that is the first Wak from home and they are isolated, with a certain amount of sadness. and we always write them at home how they are get ting along and w" write them fre quently until they get accustomed to it." 'i'hese are but the words of a womanly woman and no one can doubt their sincerity. Here is an instance of her tender care of patients entrust ed to her, as spoken by herself: Every case at the time of her ad mission is vaccinated against small pox. no matter whether she has been vaccinatedl previ ously or not. 1ivery case young enough, and usually not over .10, is vaccinated against typhoid fever. I do whatev er examination is necessary, watching them from time to time, and every case T jot down little notes on the case; certainly I wut down every change for better or for worse, and every accident is noted and how it came about. This I write home to the family. I economize as mclh as I can, and when I write out these things I have the ofice girl to write out a statement of her own com position. She states the facts to the family. 10very case as soon as it is admitted is given special care, because it is a terrible break from their home to the hospital and it Is the tendency of a great hospital to lose ight of the individual; and tihe tendency is to in diividual ize as much as posie and make them feel welcome, because a great many of them feel that they are not. And we write the family the next day, because that is time first break from home and they are iso lated, with a certain amount of sad ness, and we always wvrite them at home howv they ar'e getting along anti we write them frequently until they get. accustomedi to it. The patient is freqjuently more happy than the fam ily. We try to allay their anxiety by writing as often as possible. and r give them my addlress on a little cardi 'andi tell them wvhat they may expect, the treatmnent that they wvill get, the ward on which they are pllaced. I en courage them all to let me know of any suggestion that they wish carriedi out and I will (do it if I can, and if I can not I tell them frankly why. A t IBarksdale School.

(t 8 - 8 -STATE PBlSS$ CONKENT. .8 8 888888.28.88888888-8 8 8 With small pox as prevalent all ov er the State as it is and has been, the people of Newberry were very much surprised at the quarantine establish ed by the city of Laurens. We tool that the action of our neighboring city has done Newberry an injustice.-New berry Herald and -News. "Et Tu, Brute!" The Laurens Advertiser speaks edi torially of Nowberry as a "smallpox stricken city". That is unkind, and is not justified by facts. The Advertiser tries to sustain its position by saying: "Certainly the board of health, whether it endorsed the carnival or not have allowed it to come here from a smallpox-stricken city. That the smallpox situation has reached dangerous proportions can be judged from the questions asked by Dr. Geo. B. Cronier in Tuesday's Observer, as follows: "'Please tell us what the board ol health is doing to protect this cola munity against smallpox. " 'if they are doing nothing, it is up to them to tell us why.' "if such a sensible man as Dr. Crom or thinks the situation is threatening, surely Laurens had a right to protect herself against it." Would The Advertiser say that Laurens is a "smallpox-stricken city" because its board of health is trying "to protect that community against sniallpbx"? 'Dr. Cromer was simply urging en forcement of cc':npulsory vaccination "as an additional precaution against the spread of the disease here"-quot Ing The Advertisor5 own language with referenco to Its own town. To urge the enforcement of vaccina tion is no evidence whatever that a town Is "smallipox-stricken," 'but of a desire to keep it from becoming so; and this is as true In regard to New berry as to Laurens or any other town.-Newberry Observer. As To Smallpox, It is not the purpose of The Herald and News to have any controversy with the newspapers at Laurens, or with the good people of LIaurens, in re gard to the smallpox situation. The facts were stated in the last issue of The Iherald and News, and as we stat ed at the time we do not consider that tho smallpox situation is any more alarming In Newberry than in almost any other section of the State, it was also stated that the opinion prevalled that one of the reasons mov ing Laurens to quarantine was to get out of the contract for the carnival rather than on account of any small pox situation In Newberry. The Lau rens Advertiser says: "While the peo ple of Laurens are quite ready to ad mit that the coming of the carnival was1 a very (determuining factor in the dleelsIon to quarantine against New berry," wvhich is practically an admis sion that the statement is correct that the moving motion in quarantining was to get out of the contract for t11e carnival. It is true that the Adver tiser adds: "It is probable that it wvould have been ordlered anyway af ter conditions as do exist were brought to light." The Advertiser takes pileasure in quoting what Dr. Croamer had to say in the Observer, and adds, "If such a sensible man as Dr. Cromer thinks the situation is threatening, surely Laurens had a right to protect herself agaInst it." We have no criticism to make of Dr. Cromer, but <we wvill ven ture to say that Dr. Cromer, as a cit izen of Newberr'y, should have found out from the board of health what the con'dition was before writing the few paragraphs that ho did which (10 IntImate that the conditIon was seri ous. The board of health stated last week that there wecre only 14 cases in the entIre town and that all of these eases were under strict qluarantine and that there had been no deaths in the town and that the eases now here wvere about ready to lie discharged. Thie rumor that wvent out from Lau r-ens was that thern were 4100 cases, whichm would indicate, of course, an epidlemic, and such a statemnent to be0 published throughout the State is cal culated to (10 injury to the town in a business way. In fact we are told that some of the delegates that were to come here this week .to the Stu dents' Volunteer conventIon have de cided not to come on account f the ox travagant reports on smallpox which have been published. We repeat again, there Is no opidetmic and in proportion there are no more cases of smallpox in Newberry than in many other sections of the State, and that the extravagant rep~ort sent out from Laurens, and the quarantine placed against Newberry, have been an Injustiee to the town andl real injury has been the result. We have asked the board of health to make nn official statement as to the cniton ...Thn Herald slha News. MAULDINJ DOE OF NEW CIRCU1I FIckens Senator Is Elected Without Opposition.
