DR. FRED WILLIAMS -ASSUMES CHARGE Take's Over Reigns of the State iis, pitul. for Insane. Strait Issues a' Statement. Columbia, May 1.--Dr. C. Fred Wil liams today .suc'eded Dr. T. -J. Strait as superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane. In a state-I ment announcing his appointment of Dr. Williams Governor Manning said of the Inmates of the Asylum, "I re gard the proper care of these 1,700 un fortunates the largest work of our State. Humanity demands it." Dr. Wililams will be paid a salary of $6,000 a year, $3,000 of which is pro vided for. by appropriation and the addition $3,000 is borrowed on the Personal endorsement of the Gover nor. "I do not propose to disregard the Constitution and the laws; I stand for them," says the Governor, "and if this increase p4 salary for service to be done is f6rbidden I will pay it my self. rather than that these patients under the care of the State should not have the best treatment that can be secured." The following is the Governor's statement in full: "I have appointed Dr. C. Fred ,Wil liams of Coi'umbia, as superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane for the term beginning May 1, 1915, to February 15, 1916. After I found the appointment of Dr. Sargent-a man philletl In mental troubles-was .against the spirit of the 'Constitution, I looked around for a physician skill ed, younger, full of energy, and full of love for his fellow man, and do siring to be of service to them. With these bonsiderations in mind I con sider Dr. Williams an ideal choice. Dr. Williams'had in Columbia a lucra tive practice and his own home. To give up the practice for the salary allowed would have entailed a heavy sacrifice on the part of -Dr. Williams and his family. Having his own home, lie desired and agreed to forego the residence and perquisities that have always been allowed superintendents of the State Hospital ror Insane, and I then guaranteed personally to him the extra compensation. "I regard the proper care of these 1,700 unfortunates the largest work of our State. Humanity demands it. Money spent to give them the best care and treatment will be well spent. I do notqpropose to disregard the Con stitution and the law; I stand for them, and if this increase of salary for services to be done is forbidden I will pay It myself rather than that these patients under the care of the State should not have the best treat ment that can be secured." Annou p.ement that he would prob ably em.er the political arena next year and tell the South Carolina pub lie fully of the details of operation of the State Hospital for the Insane, at Columbia, of what changes and im provements were made by him, and of the treatment accorded him by the present State Administmtion was made' by Drm. T. J. Strait, of Lancaster, recentl removed sup~erintendlent of the Asylum, shortly before he left yesterflay afternoon for his former home after being succeeded by Drm. C. Fred WVill iams, of Columbia. Dr. Strait said1 his mind wvas not fully made up as to what effort he would make to carry to the public of this slate his views up~on the situa tion at time Asylum, and upon the ac tion of the Administration. Early in the interview lie forecast a political upheaval in 1916 that would have the Asylum as the centre of two vortex. Drm. Strait s'aid he did "not knowv 1{IDNEY TritOURtLE CAUSES - .

Dr. Strait saidl he desired to make it plain that he had not brought par tWsan politics into the government of the Asylum, and that he had brought about "a considerably more cllicient government at a less aggregate ex pense to the State than that which I found there." Discussing the economy of operation he had obtained, he de clared a comparilson of the monthly expenses of -March, 1914, and March, 1915, showed lie had saved $7,200 fo' that month. Among other savings he had obtain ed by institution of modern methods, he asserted' the installation of bread cutters saved the State the cost of 82,. 000 loaves of bread in eight months immediately following the time when he assumed charge. Giving strict care to he amount of 'meat cooked for each meal, 'i'esulted immediately in a daily sving of 175 pounds, he said, which amount saved was further increased.
