THE GOVERNOR MAKES COMMENT On Report of Investigating Conmittenc Into Affairs of Asylum. Says Coml nltteo did not do Duty. 'Columbia, Feb. 25.-Tonight the house and senate received the gov ernor's view of the report of the com nittee charged with investigating con ditions at the hospital for the insane. The expression of the governor is em bodied in a special message in which he says: "On January 20, 1914, 1 sent you special message No. 10, in which I called your attention to letter which I had in my possession charging that there was being 'an effort made to oust Dr. Babcock from the State 1-los pital for the Insane;' that 'Gov. ernor Illease's underlings and satter lites want to manipulate the sale of that property, and the new building df the institution out at State Park;' and that 'an effort will be made to smirch Dr. Unbcock and his lady as sistant, Dr. Saundters, and as these men must have some excuse, you know, and are not at all scrupulous.' "In this message I set out facts and statements which it is unnecessary that I should repeat here. Upon re ceipt of this message, you appointed a committee, under a resolution which it is unnecessary for me to repeat, or dering an investigation of these mat ters. "I notice the report of your comd mittee has been flied and I would like to ask the chairman, or some other member, of that committee, please to state if th'y have investigated the charge 'that an effort was being made to oust )r. Babcock,' and what the findings of the committee were there on; if they investigated the charge that 'Gov. Ilease's underlings and sat terlites want to manipulate the sale of that property and the building of the new institution out at State Park,' and what their findings were; and if they investigated the charge that 'an effort will he made to smirch lr. Bab cock and his lady assistant. )r. Saun ders' and what their findings were. "if I can read correctly their re port they have not touched the sulb jects which they were apolinted to investigate. "The report dtoe: not touch in the least the cha ges made in that letter which I transmitted to the General Assembly. The people, of course, will undiersand this, and will know why it is done and what it means. "In mlly opinion, the concurrent res olution which followed the report of the committee will simply honome a nullity. The constitution makes cer tain provisions and the general stat ut(s cover certain matters in connec tion with the State lospital for the Insane, (see s etion 335-1 down to and including sctiot 33S5, vol 1, code of laws of South Carolina, 1912), and any lawyer with any ability at all and any matn with common sense, knows that a simple concurrent resolution canniot chlange an act of the General Assembly. (See also artieel -12, sec tion 2, constitutiont of 1895.) "The replort of your committee only makes me more determined to exer clse the power given me unider the constitution, as I clearly see from the report of the committee. that. the one thing that it- does flnd is that the in - stitutlon has not been properly hand led. The principle think I was fight lng for-as I was fighting inl the lpen itentIlar'y tight--was to hel1p the in mates. - won in the Ipenitenitiary' fight, and I am going to win in this, for I have some constitut~lonal rights, as governor, whlichl, I am proud to say, the (leneral Assembly cannlot take away." Over on thle senate side t he report was adloptedi. Oni motion of Senator Shar~pe, the concorrent resoluitions cm bodying the suggested rules, which had beenl unanaimously adopted In thle house, wvere referred to the judiciary comitintteec for a report. The hlouse has (lonte its do on'the re port, andl iassed it iup to thte senate.

She was borr minus arms, yet she can do almost anything with her feet. Her name is Mrs. Peirce, sand recently she attended a dinner given to the old people of the town by the local Lodge of Buffaloes. She surprised everybddy present by placing her feet upon the table, and, picking up her knife and fork with " marvelous dexterity, commenced to enjoy the feast. She manipulated the knife and fork quite as well as any ordinary person would with her hands, and although she looked very I uncomfortable with her feet on the table, she was quite at ease. One had to look very closely to dia cern that Mrs. Peirce was actually 'using her feet, and had anyone been looking round and had not known of her infirmity, they would have passed without noticing anything, so natural did she look. As a housewife, Mrs. Peirce is truly wonderful. She cooks the dinner, cleans the house; in fact, she fuliilla --and very creditably, too-almost all of the (lutiea of a housewife. She has had seven children, but of these ,six have died. The seventh. however, is married, and Mrs. Peirce is now a grandmother. The other children (lid ,not die early, and tip to the time of their deaths, Mrs. Pierce did not re quire any assistance in order to ade quately attend to them. This unique woman wears her wed ding-ring on the left foot. When she was marled she was asked if she would care to sit down for the bride groom to place the ring on the toe, but she refused, and, lifting her foot to the level of her husband's waist with the greatest of ease, the neces sary performance was successfully carried out. Then, again, Mrs. Peiree can write excellently with the left foot and can perform the art of needlework to a wonderful degree of excellence. She works with the left foot and guides the material with the right. . When asked to "hand" anything, Mrs. Peirce does so with perfect ease and comfort. Should the article asked for be on the sideboard or on the pliano, her foot would leisurely lift Itself up to that particular place, and the request would be fulfilled. It is said that Mrs. Pelrco's feet are far more capable than the hands of some people. NO TAXES ARE PAID HERE The prospect of new taxes will not perturb the inhabitants of Innishmur ry, an Island off Sligo, Ireland, who for many years have defied collectors of both rates and taxes. 'There is no direct communication with the island, and in a recent report to the local gov. ernment board it was stated that'the rate collector could find no boatman bold enough to take him across. Some years ago two rate collectors who tried to land in Innishmurry were driven off by showers of stones. The population, which consists of about 1.1 families, Is said to be a happy coi inunity. One of the islanders. a very old man, nets as ruler and settles any disputes that arise, but these are rare. IEvery summer a priest visits Innish uiurry to conduct marriages, and re mains for a. few weeks. I)uring the rest of the year the islanders hold a service among themselves every Sun day. BIGGEST OF SEISMOGRAPHS This, the largest and most delicate selsmograph ever butilt, was complet ed a few months aghi for the-A meoricant Museum of Natural llistory, New York. A few days after it was in stailed it recordied an eai'thquakhe in Alaska, :3,100 miles away. Thie ex traordinary sensitiveness of the ini strument is such that it ia afV eted by heavy winds andl even waove-beats on the sea b~each. In ordler to obtain this freedom of motion the instrument in stalledi in the museum, a strong frame of angle iron supportIng thme steady .mass, rests on a concrete pier wvhose base is firmly cemented to the solid rock beneath the building. The pier, furthermore, is entirely free from con tact with time building or its floors, so that no local vibration can be0 tranis mitted to the delicate registering aip paratus. The steady masses are sus pended in such a manner that they act as horisontal pendulums, so that their own piano of oscillation is tan gent to the surface of the earth. The horizontal axes of the masses, along which they are free to move, are at right angles to each other. The (lit ferenitial motion between the earth arid thle pendumlums is what is record ed and~ mneasumredl by means of a stylus thait r-ests lightly upon the surface of smok'd pimper whieh 1d i drna wn slowly under it, aninTg a whho !ine.
