The Committee of Investigation
Makes its Report.
The long awaited report of tho com?
mittee appointed to investigare the State
Lunatic Asylum has at last been com?
pleted and ma ^ublic The commit?
tee completed ne report yesterday
morning, after something over a week's
work, aod the members have gone home
for thc present. As will be seen below,
this report of the committee shows some
disclosures of a surprising nature, anti
it is stated that they are in possession of
? worse ones.
The preliminary report was handed
tc the Governor on the 1st inst , and that
eveniog he gave it to the press
He was asked what action he would take
io the matter, and be said : "I expect
to have such parts of the testimony aa
bear directly on these matters trans?
cribed from the stenographer's ?notes,,
and they will be held subject to the in?
spection of the General Assembly.
- . Farther, I would say that the Regents
and officers of <be asylum will be given
A hearing if they desire it, after which
I will take such action as will seem ne?
cessary to remedy the evils complained
of.
It is ascertained that Superintendent
Griffie was not admitted te hear the ev
id euee against him, and yesterday it
was stated that the only outsider admit?
ted was Mr. Bunch, the recently ap?
pointed treasurer. Here is the report
ia foll: .
COLUMBIA, S. C., April 1,1891.
To Bis Excellency, B. R. Tillman,
Governor :
At the last session of the Legislar Gre
a committee, of which the undersigned
are members, was appointed by concur?
rent resolutions, which power and in
struettoas, to make inquiry into and to
report to the Legislature the condition '
of the lunatic .asyInn?. The. committee j
' has performed the duties so far a* prac?
ticable at this titue; and we deem it
both a courtesy and a duty to transmit
to your Excellency an outline of the
manner in which the work assigned has
been done, together with tue results io j
a general form.
1. We invited the Governor of the
State to attend the sessions of. the com- j
mittee, recognizing in you the highest
constitutional authority io all matters
affecting the well-being, direction and
control cf this institution.
" % As ? the tfm? in which the inquiry
was to be mrde was limited, we asked
your ExceHefccy ta jem ploy a steno?
grapher; n*avfogin view*afso the farther
consideration that -our findings or re?
commendations should be based upon a
fnll hearing, which has beeo obtained
and which is new a matter , of record
with the committee.
o? ?t is the design of the committee
that its investigation should in no sense
be open to the construction of an ex
parte proceeding, this fact being im?
pressed at aod during the examinations.
We, therefore, examined, under Oath,
all those concerned in the management
of the' institution, and those whose du?
ties, directed by such management, with
an eye at all times to their official and
: personal Tespoasibiiities to the wards of
the. State. .
:. t- The scope of our investigation in?
cluded io general terms : ^
]$j?t? The duties of the superior ?f- ;
ficer and the manner in which those du?
ties were discharged, basing our con- '
elusions on t?te roles and regulations
-governing such officers, their own evi
dence^nd the evidence of attendants
and" employes past and presentat the
asylum.
.Second.- Ats to the internal economy
of the- institut; OD and all of its auxilia?
ries intended to contribute to its main
fjnaoce. -
~ Third.- Tbe relation of the number
of officer?-;and attendants to the results
accomplished, and to be accomplished,
with- special reference to the equitable
distribution of work and compensation.
"Fourth. The expenses of the various
dppartmeotR, a? obtained from the cor?
rect accounts and from oral testimony.
Fifth, The efficiency and value to
the Sta fe of the methods how practiced
at the ?srlum, as compared with a man
agement or rigid economy and regard
for and proper development of its ways
and meaos of self-support.
0. Io order to deal intelligently with
theae g*ave questions is was necessary
to take a great mass of testimony, the
deponents in all cases from psst or pre- j
so nt connection with the institution be?
ing familiar in varying degrees with the
subject* under examination.
, 6. After a most thorough examina?
tion we find that tue inmates, or pa?
tients, so far as we can learn, are treat?
ed humanely by the attendants and
with a sympathetic consideration for
their unfortunate condition. We have
investigated several cases of cruelties
from patient to patient and several
cases of -oient, dep'onble deaths?, but
tht * ": .-tunes are not, io our j adg?
in* geabie to d -relictiou ol duty
on the pa. ; ot the attendants.
7. We find that there is a great di?
versity of opinion among the attendants
and other eo:p!oy?s a* to the quality
and suitableness of the fo >d provided
for the inmates and for attendants a?-J
employes. There is a great deal of tes?
timony, especially io the male depart?
ment, going to show that objectionable
meats are often served, aud that there
are other articles of food which are not
such as might bc expected, considering
Hie I'beral appropriations made by the
Legislature for the proper maintenance
of the asylum.
* 8 We find that reprehensible lati?
tude of conduct and absolute freedom
?oat restraint, have been permitted to
patients considered by their keepers and
attendants as violent, dangerous and
murderously inclined, which condition
of things has resulted directly in the
death of patients and the cuneccesi-ary
mai treatment of others. These trage?
dies, we find, were precipitated by re?
missness or lack of judgement after
due notice to the proper authorities.
9. We find, as growing out of the
facts as related by the witnesses and
from the previous paragraph, that there
bas been gross negligence oo the part
of-some of the officers immediately in
charge of the asylum.
VIO > We find that the Board of Re?
gents bas failed to discharge its duties
in several important relation?, and that
the ?; evidence further shows that the
vioits of the.Bjard have not been regu?
lar or. frequent as rt quired by their
own by-laws, and that where su- -) visits
were made, the examinations required
of the Regents were imperfectly per
formed in some instances, and that in
other instances there was no examina?
tion of certain wards to which, from the
nature of their inmates, their attention
should most particularly have been
directed.
ll. We Sod an incomprehensible
inequality as to the compensation and
labor of many of the attendants and of
employes holding responsible positions.
12 We find strong evidences of
waste, mismanagement and ignorance
or disregard of its value, on theassylum
farm, the system of work there and its
management needing an absolute ana
speedy revolution.
13 There are several other matters
relating to our work which can best be
understood by reference to the testi?
mony.
! 14. We were offered every facility by
the superintendent and other officers of
I the asylum in the prosecution of the
i bvesiigatior, for which we express our
acknowledgements.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

THE COLLEGE FOB GIRLS.
I The Commissioners Invite Bids.
At the adjournment of the meeting of
the commissioners to report on a place
for the industrial college for the women,
which waa held about ten days ago, it
was announced that the commission
would issue a circular letter. This cir?
cular has been prepared and will be
printed in all the newspapers in the
State and utopies be sent to the city and
town authorities. The following is the
circular :
STATS INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE FOR WOMEN.
Concurrent resolutions of the Senate
and House of Representatives of South
Carolina :
Be it resolved by the Senate, the
House of Representatives concurring,
rthat the Governor be, and is hereby
authorized and empowered to appoint
three oom missioners whose duty it shall
be:
First. To investigate and report what
are the requirements for an Industrial
School for Women, and what would be
the probable annual cost of its mainte?
nance.
Second. What inducements in the
way of grounds, buildings, moneys or
other securities may be offered by per?
sons or places in the State to secure its
location, and to make recommendations
thereon, after visiting the same, neees
I sary.
Third. That said commissioners make
their report to the Governor as soon as
practicable, and that their expenses in
I curred in executing the commission be
! paid out of the Governor's contingent
fund : Provided, .the same does not ex?
ceed three hundred dollars.
The undersigned commissioners ap?
pointed by the Governor under the
foregoing resolutions, beg leave to call
attention to the importance of the ob?
ject proposed and to invite co-operation.
lt is unnecessary to speak of the need,
or of the value to the State, of such
provision in aid of the education of wo?
men. Recognizing the benefits which
1 such an' itfslitutron would confer upon
tte community in which it might be
erected, the Legislature through us ap?
peals to the cities and towns of the State
to submit offers for its location. The
presence of a State school of this char?
acter, with a large faculty and probably
[several hundred young ladies from ali
parts of the State, would at once make
its site a centre pf education, intelli?
gence and social attraction. It* influ?
ence would directly elevate and assist
the local schools, and the-e would fol?
low an increase of population, with an
enhancement of vaines, not easily to be
Overestimated.^
: We invite the attention of the muni?
cipal authorities and people of our cities
and towns to these considerations. The
competition-jv hieb is for general as
well as local benefit-is open to all
Correspondence js freely invited. A
member of tbe commission will come to
any part of the State for conference, if
deemed necessary.
All offers must be definitely submit?
ted by 1st of July. Meanwhile similar
schools abroad will be thoroughly in?
spected in order to secure the advanta?
ges of.?he best experiences. Afterwards
all sites or properties offered will be
carefully examined by the commission,
and ?nits wportfull justice will be done
all. :
Early attention will promote the ob?
jects of toe ?oim?i?s!oQ.

The Jute is War Over.
ATLANTA, April 2.-The Farmers'
Alliance and the j ?ire bagging t rust
1 ha>ve made peace. The proposition of
1 'he cordage Bagging company to sup?
ply hagging at fj? cents per yard for
Impounds; 63 cents for 1| pounds;
7j cents for 2 pound, and 7 jj cents for
2 J- pounds, bas been accepted. These
are maximum prices and competition
may reduce them.
lt is thought that this means the sal?
in advance of bagging for at least half
of the cotton crop.
Heretofore the farmers have obeyed
the Alliance, although it cau>ed them
; to boy badging at over ftl per bale ex
j tra co>t. Now that the price of jute
bagging is reduced the Alliaucemen
wii! adopt it.
The Cordage Company represents all
but one of the jute badging factories in
the trust two years ago. The factory
left out is said to be located at Charles?
ton.
The acton of the Alliance leaves the
farmers free to buy cotton bag wine if
they prefer, but as jute is cheaper, few
of them, it is believed, will buy cotton
bagging.

The Sumter Official Bonds.
The State Board of Commissioners
Order the Bonds of Keels and
Green Strengthened.
Columbia Register, April 1.
From time to time .the alleged weak?
ness o? the bonds of D. E. Keels, Coun?
ty Treasurer of Sumter County, and of
J. ?. Green, School Commissioner of
the same County, have been alluded to
by the press, and the grand jury of
Sumter County has also reported on
these cases and recommended the
strengthening of the bonds. The mat?
te? bas been brought in the regular
course of their official duties to the com?
mission of State officers, whose duty it
is to examine all official bonds, and yes?
terday the following resolution adopted
by them was given out tor publication:
OFFICE OF SECRETARY, OF STATE,
COLUMBIA, S. C., March 31. 1891.
At a meeting of the Bjard of Com?
missioners for the examination of bonds
of public officers it was this day
Resolved, That the Board, consist?
ing of the Comptroller General, Secre?
tary of State and State Treasurer, are of
opinion, after reading tba presentment
of the grand jury of Sumter County,
that the sureties on the bond of D. E.
Keels, as Treasurer of Sumter County,
and of J. T. Green, School Commis?
sioner of Sumter County, are not suffi?
cient in estate, clear of debt and home?
stead exemption, and, therefore, this
Board directs the said D. E. Keels, as
said Treasurer, and the said J. T.
Green, as said School Commissioner, to
take notice thereof; and, further, they
are notiSed to procure other and satis?
factory security or secureties to said
bonds, or produce satisfactory evidence
to the said Board that the sureties ob?
jected to as owning insufficient property
as aforesaid are worth the said obliga?
tion, clear of debt and the homestead
exemption, within thirty days from the
service upon the said D E Keels and
J. T. Green of this notice. Otherwise
this Board, at the expiration of said thir-,
ty days, will declare the offices of Treas?
urer and of School Commissioner of
Sumter County vacant.

The Sumter Treasurership.
A Question Which the Courts May be
Called Upon to Another.
MATESVILLB, S. C., March 30.
Editor State :? Some of us would like to
know who has charge of the treasurer's
office of Sumter County while Mr. D.
E Keels is strengthening his bond?
Nearly all the tax?s for the past fiscal
year have been collected*, the greater
part of which was collected before
Treasurer Gaillard turned over the
? mee ; but as yet we have ' seen no
statement of a settlement with the
Comptroller General. There must he
between ?40.000 aud ?50,000 in the
i hands of Air. Gaillard or Mr. Keels,
and we would like to know whose
bond is respon>ible for.it. c
As I understand it the State board
has agreed with the grand jury, that
Mr. Keels* bond niust.be strengthened,
but he is giveu thirty days in which to
do so in the meantime is he treasurer
of Sumter County ? And has he fall
access to all the moneys of the office ?.
If so, and his bond does not come np
to the requirements, it looks very
unbusinesslike, to say the least. If
there should happen to be any deficiency,
and the bond not be strong enough to
make it good, would the State or comity
treasury lose ?
It looks to me like thc State should
lose, arjoVuot the county, in such a con?
tingency ; for the county commissioners
and the grand jury have done their
duty, and if anything goes wrong the
adm>nistration i* responsible, and should
be trade to coffer. TAXPAYER.
The solons of the Ai kansas Legisla?
ture are striking at the roots of things.
Last week they parsed a resolution to
put Jefferson Davis' picture where
Washington's portrait has hung for
twenty five years, The Elouse also
passed a resolution favoring the elec?
tion of President, vice-President and
United States Senators by a popular
vote, and their latest sensation is a
resorption passed in the Senate pro?
hibiting a mortgage hiing given on a
crop planted or yet to be planted.
They seem to think there is soaiething
wrong somewhere and they'll just keep
on striking until they hit it.
- IM ? - -
The board of commissioners for the
examination of bonds has decided that
the much discussed bond of D. E. Keels,
treasurer of Sumter county, is insuffi?
cient and has ordered it to be strength?
ened.
