The Regents Take Their
Turn.
^hey Beply at Length to the In?
vestigating Committee.
Full Text of the Document-They De
fend Their Administration of the
Lunatic Asylum-The Rtliabiliy of
Witnesses is Attacked.
TheB>ardof Regents of the State
Lunatic Asylum have taken their time
at "investigating," too, and they have
completed and announced their report.
Their investigation ?as of the charges
made against their administration, and
their report is somewhat different from
that of the investigating committee.
The regents were .in session all day
Wednesday, 221 and at 4:30 adjourned
moe die and left for their homes. The
officers of the asylum are to prepare a re?
port of their own to be submitted next
wees, when the board meets again.
The report ts as follows :
To His Excellency, 3. R Tillman,
Governor of South Carolina.
The committeeappoin-ei by the Leg?
islature in December last to- examine
into and report upon the condition and
management of the lunatic asylum,
has comp'e el its vfork t?nd made tts re?
port to the chief executive of the State.
Inasmuch as this report brings several
eharge8 directly against the B >ard of
Regents, we deem it proper in the out?
set to state the fact that the inquisition
vas made by the committee without
notice to us/ without any intimation to
ns that we were to be put on trial, and
consequently, with no opportunity given
os, or any of the officers of the institu?
tion for cross-examination or rebuttal.
It was an entirely ex parte proceeding,
where witnesses were examined in pri
?ate. That report, with the charges
therein contained, has gone, in a semi?
official form, before, the people of the
State through the" newspapers of the
day. After an examination of such
portions of the testimony taken by the
Legislative'committee, as has now just
been submitted by the Governor, we
find that tn a large number of cases,
the witnesses giving the most unfavora?
ble testimony, were either discharged
attendants or employees having some
fancied grievance to avenge.
THE TWO PRINCIPAL CHARGES
.against the board proper are : First, a
failure to meet as often as their rules
require, and second, a lax performance
of their duty when such meetings are
held. The first charge we positively
assert to be without foundation in fact.
The rules of the board require monthly
meetings, and our records will show
that since the passage of the law ten
years ago there has been no single in
. s'aoce ef our failure io meet as required
But few instances have occured in which
. every member was not present, and in
every such case the absentee was pre?
vented from attending by sickness or
other unavoidable cause. True, every
ward is not visited at every meeting,
the K rgely increased size of the asylum
rendering this a work of too much mag?
nitude for one day's peifvrmauee. The
rule af- our board being that, at the
conclusion of the routine business, the
preside! * of the board appoints com mit?
te j ?wo to inspect the diff?r?rent por
Ci >us of the ea ti re institution ; and our
-records show, in the reports of said
committees, that a large portion of the
building is regularly inspected by us,
and the testimony of the witnesses be?
fore the legislative committee goes to
?how that those portions unvisited were
-always. ia proper condition.
The purpose, therefore, of the inspection
having been as folly accomplished by
the known uncertainty as though the
examination bad been made. Ouly a
very few instances have occurred in
which the examination was entirely
postponed or omitted, and these omis?
sions were caused by the press of more
important matter. Besides all of this,
the executive Regent for the current
term, resident in Columbia, has invaria?
bly, io: die d?sebarge of his duty, visit
e?okfmf? inspected once or twiee each
month the entire buildings and grounds,
as is clearly shown by his reports in our ,
minutes. In a nra??nual point of view <
it ts manifestly improper for strangers 1
to-intrude often in those wards where 1
the more violent patients are confined,
tbfe- very presence of strangers tending
to cause undue excitement, and thus
to interfere with the proper treatment
-and to retard the care.
TUE FOOD IS GOOD.
As to the matter of unproper food,
the simple fact is that our contract for
beef, which is furnished on alternate
days, is male with a bonded contractor
who stipulates co furnish good mer?
chantable beef, and wc know the fact i
that the authorities in immediate 1
charge do reject it when it falls below
the proper standard The preponder?
ance of testimony, together wi?h our
own knowledge, fully established the
fact that the foo] p">vided has been
good palatable and suffi ;ient. To show
the tra'h of this statement, we refer to
the bills of articles purchased on fi;e in
office of our ste wai d We have fre?
quently examined the food in the kitch '
en and on the table, and have invaria
found it good, well prepared and
served, and the dining rooms perfectly
neat and clean. Pay patients do re?
ceive better accommodations and a
greater variety of food than is furnished
to non-pay inmates, and we appreheud 1
that no one will deny that this is just
and proper. The difference is also
made in cases of the sick or delicate and ,
those in the possession of health and '
full physical strength. That tne ?on- '
pay patients, however, are well cared
for, we appeal to the testimony of Gov- ?
ernor Tillman himself, who after a per
sonal examination of the ^institution in ^
November last, stated so much, as it ap
peared, with an air of complaint thut j
the ''pauper" fared better than the poor
toiling farmer who wa* taxed for tb< ?r ! '
support.
TUE JA?tM MANAGEMeX'2
The severest criticism against the ?
board is as to the management of the
farm. The Legislative committee base <
their charges on thc testimony of only ]
two witnesses-ons a former employer 1
who was discharged fer cause several :
years ago--the other witness being the t
present superintendent of the farm, t
who was elected by os in October last, t
and who bas been ia charge of the farm t
ever since with instructions from us to *
do all in his power to improve the effi- i
cieney of the same. I
As long ago as November last the 1
superintendent of the farm was instruct- ? 1
ed to proceed with the erection of a j 1
new baru and stable and proper appro- j ?
pr i aii on made by us for the work.
Various casses haue arisen to prevent
the earlier completion of these needed
improvement)^. As a proof of tho value
of the ??m as AU adjunct to the asy?
lum, and in refutation of the evidence
submitted to the committee we herewith
; append the monthly report of the su?
perintendent of the farm from Novem?
ber last to the present date, v which
shows a net profit of $948 50.
THE OFFICERS TO EXPLAIN.
In reference to the charges more di?
rectly a?ecti?g the superintendent aod
officers immediately in charge of the
institution, we have placed the testi?
mony in their bauds and have given
them a week to prepare their answer
aod report to the board.
By order of B >ard of Regents.

final statement of the population of
South Carolina by races and counties.
As the figures are of general and
p rmaneot interest we print them

tion of the State in 1890, as enume?
rated, was 1,150,957. of whom 458,
454 were whire and 692.503 were col?

According to these tables, as com
pared with those of previous < ensuses.
f-bere have been, some remarkable varia
t?OILS in the increase of the population
.f the several counties, and in the re la
:ive increase of the two races in some
jf the counties, since I860; but witb
^uf. going so deeply imo the subject af
present, ir. is interesting to note some ot
he cu iou* features exhibited by the
Srst table alone.
L"t us compare adjoining counties
Abbeville had in 1880 a population
>f 40 800, in round numbeis, and
BlgeSeid, its uext door neighbor, had
?5,800 Abbeville increased its pnpu
ation during the decade about 14 per
ient ami E lgefield increased irs popu
ation only about 7 ppr cent Spar
anburg hal in 1880. 40,400 and
jrreenville, 37 40') The increase in
Spartanburg wa? 37 per cent., and in
jrreenville 18 per cent Laurens,
.vhich had in 1880. 29 400. and which
?orders on Abbeville, Greenville and
Sptrtaubu g. increased only about 7
L?erc*nt. Union had io 1SS0, 24 000,
?nd Y fir, irs n-xt door i.etghhor, 30,
roo. u ni n increased about. 5 per
jent., and Ytk about. 2G per cent
Fairfield lies between Richland and
Lmcaster. RchUi.d in 1880 bid
28.500; Fairfield. 27 700, and Lmcas
?r, 16 900. Richland increased in
he decade about. 29 per cent., Lancas
:er about 23 per cent., and Fairfield,
he intermediate county, 3 p?r cent.
All these counties lie in the upper and
niddie parts of the State. The lower
ier cf counties exhibit like vacations
Flampton was formerly a part of Bean?
bri. In 1$80 Beaufort had a pnpu
Htir?n of 30 600 and Hampoon had
18,700. Beaufort iucreascd 13 per
cent., sod Hampton about 9 5 per cent,
in the decade. Orangeburg had in
1880, 41,800 and Barnwell 39,800.
Orangeburg increased about 19 per
cent., and Barnwell about 12 per cent.
Horry and Georgetown lie side by side
on the coast. Horry had in 1880,
15,500 and Georgetown 19,600.
Horry increased abont 23 per cent , and
Georgetown 6 per cent, in the decade.
These examples are enough, for the
present? to show how "scattering" has
been the increase in the last decade.
The variations are, of course, inex?
plicable on any known grounds, but
they are exhibited in the official record,
aud are interesting for that reason,
other examples will be given hereafter,
in carefully prepared tables of precent
ages, which will present the whole sub?
ject in the plainest light. Our readers
who are interested in the showing, for
any reason, should preserve the forego?
ing tables for the purposes of compari?
son and for future reference.-News
and Corner. .
Fruit.
There promises to be an abundant
supply of fruit throughout this seotion ;
For which we are profoundly thankful.
We trust that steps will be taken in
time to save it all. Two years ago
there were enough peaches alone rotted
in this county, bad they been pre?
served and canned, to have amounted
to thousands of dollars, had there
been an evaporating and canning fac?
tory established in reach. We believe
it would be a profitable investment and
a long step towards a right kind of
appreciation of this great blessing of a
kind and beneficent Providence. Many
families could procure an "Evaperator.''
They are cheap, built something like
a stove with shelves, trays, and can be
used for cooking purposes ; costing
from $15, to $100 dollars, according
to size. One costing $25 will evapo?
rate or dry, about 8 bushels of green or
raw fruit in a day. Peelers and
corers can be purchased at a small
additional cost that makes the whole
work easy and light. In the market,
evaporated fruits are worth from one to
three cents a pound more than the
ordinary sundried fruit. It is better
every way. Let all who can get them
''Evaporators" and thus preserve all
their fruit. They will fiud it profitable
-find sale for all they can save-a far
better way than making so much of
it into cider to be gulped down by peo?
ple for no profit, and for no purpose
unless it be to make drunkards and
debase and ruin men. Llet us have less
cider and drunkards and more pre?
served evaporated fruit and money.
What say our ladies ? We believe
every one of them will vote for the
fruit and the moneys, and all sensible
and right thinking men along with
them.-BtskopviUe Eagle.
