P10-r VOL. XXVIII. IANNING, S. C., WED NESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1916. TELLS OF ASYLUM IMANNIN DESCRIBES BETTER TREATMENT OF PATIENTS THANKED BY ASSEMBLY Governor's Special ssage on the State Hospital for the Insane- I Conditions Have Improved-Econ emy Without Inefficiency-What the Governor Recommends. Governor Manning delivered a spe ciai message to the General Assembly Friday dealing with the State Hos pital for the Insane. By his intense interest in the State Hospital for the Insane, by his apparent sincerity, by his unvarnished statement of facts, he completely captured the members of the General Assembly and won their sympathies in a cause that is already close to his heart. Perhaps never before has a per sonal message been so convincingly and sympathe:ieaily presented to arI audience of lawn:akers. And when it was all over it br.:ht forth the unanimous adoption of the following resolution offered by Mr. -McCullough of Greenville: "Resolved. That the thanks of this I joint assembly are hereby extended t to his Excellency, Gov. Manning, for t his most instructive, interesting and I soul stirring message, and we pledge to him and these in authority our hearty support in their efforts to bet ter the conditions of these unfortu nate wards of the State contned in It the State Hospital for the Insane." We print below extracts from the message. including: 1. A comparison of present con ditions with those formerly exist ing. 2. A dnancial report, showing economies p.racticed without les sened e__ i ccy S. A general account of the 1 treatmert of patients, their chang- IL ed temperament and re-awakened interest in self and surroundings. 4. The governor's recommenda tions and ap:,eal to the legislators to provide for the unfortunates. Gentlemen of the General Assem- 1 bly: In my annual message I stated I that I would transmit to you a spe- M cial messago '^ali:a w= the State Hospital for the Insane. ' courteously invited me to del- 2: message in person. Permit me to e thank you for this privilege. At the outset. I wish to state clear- " ly that in referring to the conditions , which I found there when I became t governor; it must not be regarded as a personal criticism, but rather a statement of facts and conditions as I found them. I would be disinge nious if I did not make a full state ment to you of this whole situation and its needs. From personal observation I found last year the physical condition C this institution to be intolarable, i we are to consi,1er the treatment O these unfortunates as a solemn det And as an act of h maneness aro charity. The treatment of those v patients nas custodii., rather than that of giving skilled treatment t improve their conditiu. of m ::l as well as of body. ' S This condition was fully re':eele to you in an exhrustive report made1 by Dr. Herring last year through me~ to you, I feel that it is unneressary to repeat here what w?.s stated i that document. You, in a body, at8 my Invitation visited- that institution then, and the condition as shown by h that report. a il by what you found there, convinculJ you of the necessity for reorganization of the institut on and a change in the treatment of the b in;ates. I am sure that you recas vividly the picture of wl.at you sa'w then. Yesterday I invited you to nta~n visit this institution so that you could see for yourselves, in a measure at -least, what has been done, and as b ing done. un-Ier the Acts which yo'' so wisely aasd:t the li session o the legislature- The inprovemer~ts g in the physical property a'e be n carried on in a thorcugh. and effi cient manner. and vwhen this work is p completed I feel that it will be at enduring monumernt to your wisdom i and humaneness in providing for th.et comfort and the improved treatmient of these unfortunate citizens of our e State. Last year you saw the wretched I condition., the discomforts and dirt of the cells in which th -se people were confined. I saw, and you saw, how the meals served were cold and un Dalatble. You saw in the womens I departntt-whicwh was the: the beat deartmtent in that institution-h silent witnese-ti>se straps that were arou~nd the walthat wer se to restrain violerat patien.. Gentlemen, the temptatio tomes to go on and entunerat h ifr thIngs that were re-.oltina. but I ha v promised .you not to do so can not refrain fromnyl: o that women's ward. ar~ es te w' C was then in beat C co'dn you recall that in th .t ward for vicien~ -patients there wvere ninety-two o these violent suPjects. They were confined in cells. We found that the? fire protection was absolutely inndi~'qt:e ani ' operative: we found that the fire hose could not be a'~ttache to the hydrau because they did not fit, and it simplyA is appaalline to tink what a terre disster would have occurred had fre broken out. It that fire had occurred in the night tirme. with two nurses ny in charge of the ninety-two patets, it does not require any ce srption from me to tell you what would have happened. I want to say to you that under the c~.r4ged taetent that restraint foe vioent subjects is no longer resorted< to but, ir-sead. the kinder and more'i effecive nmetbods; where they arei put in baths and treated in simple ways we find as the result that those patients sh~oeid imnprovement both i mind and in body. I Gentlemon,. these clhanges that have been iongut-ated there are the resut of your wisdom in enactin laws which r.de the cbanges pos sible. andi I ear stly reerrnend the contintanc ofhis work as necessary if we are to die-h'rze our obligations ta ihms ur- ero -te citi:'ens who have tM -isfortu~ to be afflicted~ in this way. I want to sa to youI that the re-h over from the appropriation of last year was $17.6S5. Now I want to call your attention to the fact that saving in operating expenses has not been at the expense of the comforts of those patients. The average daily number in that institu tion, through the year 1915, has been 1 17 patients more than in the year previous-than in 1914. With the increased average attendance of 117 patients, the cost in maintenance has' been reduced $14,175.17. The per apita expense in 1914 was $176.7S. and in 1915 $170.92. I want to call your attention fur :her to the fact that besides this in rease in average of patients. that they had added for the care of those atients twenty-two trained nurses: hey have added ten physicians, ,hose time is given entirely to the are of those patients, whereas be 'ore three regular physicians, giving LI their time, were employed, and bree for a part of their time. One of the first items that was aken up in the character of savings )y Dr. Williams after his inaugura ion into that office was in the mat er of the laundry. In 1914 thel nonthly pay roil in laundry was 702; in 1915 it was reduced to $237 , month, making a saving for the. rear of $5,700. That work, instead )f being done by paid negro women. as done by the negro women who were in the institution. not by com ulsion nor by force, but simply by )ersuasion, and being glad to get the >portunity of having occupation -ather than in sitting around in idle Less all the time. When Ir. Williams investigated I urther he found that there were fif- t een colored women scrubbers who ook care of the white women's ward i .t $10 each per month: and six men crubbers, who took care of the white en's ward, at $16 each per month. 'hose were discharged and patients < n the institution were glad to do hat work. The saving in this item ras $2,952 for the year. t On the farm the cost of operating or 1914 was $9,127.49; the cost of perating the farm in 1915 was $4, 32.66. making a saving in the oper ting expenses of the farm of $4, 44.83. The saving in these items, gentle en, amounts to $13,296.83. There was another item, the exact gures of which I did not remember. o take from the report of the pre ions year. but I want to say in the em of whiskey prior to Dr. Wil ams being placed in charge was ought at that institution by the bar el. I want to say to you now that he consumnption of whiskey in that istitution is less than a quart per a :onth. I want to say that in the institu :n. following out the plan of giving :ion and diversion to the pati nts, they have now a printing plant r -here some of the inmates daily t -ork; they now have a laundry 1 'here inmates do most of the work; t :.ey have kitchens where the work is rgely done by the inmates. - , The inmates police the grounds; hey have a broom factory and a mat- t Tess factory; they do knitting; they t ave a sewing room. making clothes a r- many of the inmates: they have rinters and they are using many of te innates on the farm, and in addi- I on to that. gentlemen. there is n stablhted a denartment there of d aset making and fancy work. t: :ix .'eks :efore the state Fair o as held they employed Miss Austin u i that derartmlent. Miss Austin o .nie to lock over the neid. ' After n ceing ti ;atients she wondered if . he could do arything for them. They o ere iling in their beds; she could t ot induce them to get up for several eeks. c She Enaliy interested them in ti:y v'0r2. and basket making. They e reatly improved, and finally she in- a trested fifty' of those women, who a ad been m-ore dead than alive and 1 .jt interested in aything, and theyg ere e-ager in the mhorning when the 1 onr canie at which time they could ia egin their work. Centlemen, as aa esult of this, three of those inmates o ar been absolutely restored to r tion and have gone back to their h: on and have zone back to their \ omnes. Now. I want' to say this. that the umber of patients whlo are now eiu- ! loyed and given occupation amountp > 09; that that was the figure ieinthe repourt a :ew days ago. s It may well now be asked, afterb on hav" seen what the physical im-n rovements have been. how" that has ee carried on. You have seen there b the wards that have act yet been :;uched their condition, those of you I ~ho have visited it. and I do earn- G stty urge that every mnember of this islature who has not been there ill take personal inte:est in the: ork and feel that it is part of his terest, and see the benents you are antrring on these people. Now I wish to cay that siuce the e~ort of the board of regents was ade up-it was doae about the 20th SDeceinber et the request of the umnptroller general - they have aund7 that they carried over this hal aee that I have alluded to, $U 5.The reqpuest for appropriatiOns y the board of regents were based a their information and the figurei efoms them on the 2cth of Decem-v :aing been in conversation witl: oace of the ?regents I learned from hem that inasmuchi as they have ound tha.t they have carried ove; 17,8S5, that they will cut out thE tem of $20.000 which they have sed for this year for the mratter o0 lupment.

WILL BE PUNISHEDh CARRANZA GIVES ASSURANCES b OF QUICK CIIASTISEMENT BLAMES VILLA FOR IT Conitutionalist Chieftain Outlaws Bandits, Authorizes All Citizens to I u Slay Parties Who Attacked Train and Slew Americans-Telegrams Published. Gen. Carranza has renewed his as- t; surances to the United States that he d would make every effort to punish n .hose responsible for the murders o: D :mericans near Santa Ysabel. A dispatch from Consul Silliman, it Queretaro, to the state department r ,aid Carranza had personally assured C .Ir. Silliman, in reply to the depart- c 2nent's demand that the murderers )e run down, that he "had issued q rders for the immediate pursuit, i apture and punishment of those re- t ponsible for the atrocity." The dis >atch from Consul Silliman follows: t "Department's telegram of Jan- a iary 13, five p. m., massacre Amer'- c ans at Santa Ysabel, received at t sight-twenty, and implaced before , len. Carranza by me in person. Gen. b arranza said that he had already b ssued o;ters for the immediate pur- ti uit, capture and punishment of those P -esponsible for the atrocity. ec "He stated that he believed this utrage was committed by men asso- g ilated with Villa and that it was lone specially to provoke interna- 0 ional troubles at this time. He said P ie had declared those responsible a >utside the law, to be punished with b leathdif caught. "He appeals to the secretary of B tate and to the public of the United states to consider the wide strip of he Central Railway, the great diffi ulty of guarding the entire distance, .nd t: comparatively easy task of Lest-o .ng a train or attacking a T mall place. "He says that nobody can lament sore than he such an atrocity or be ore concerned about it, but that rotection is relative and that even a the best requested (?) states out- H ursts of disorders and lawlessness T1 tay cause destruction of property fa nd loss of life. K "He says be is expecting full re orts from Gen. Trevino, and that all fforts will be made to protect Amer- A :ans and any other foreigners who tr may be in the district. His belief is he massacre was made premediatige r by a band who fled at once after be raid." Carranza's telegram to his embassy allows: "The government, under my direc [on, has adopted every necessary 2easure to insure the prosecution of t n energetic campaign for the cap are and destruction of the party of illista bandits. and to continue the ame to its complete accomplish- at lent. I have asked Gen. Jacinto P. fo 'revino, commanding the Constitu- w oialist troops in the neighborhood Ss f the assassinations, to obtain for by ie the names of the assailants in m rder that a decree may be issued th acing them outside the pale of the co tw. When this is done any citizen r citizens of the republic will have be right to arrest the guilty parties hi rithout other warrant, and to exe- tr ute them without formality. tr "Similar decrees were issued and ty recued favorably in the cases of s; ssaults and dynamiting of trains in li nother section of the republic with- we 2 the year, notably when a passen- wa en train was dynamited and its pas- fo engers assaulted near Apizaco and m: gain near Jauasa. These decrees t re made effective because in the pinion of the government those who erpetrate such assassinations of uman beings, be the victims native eicans or foreigners, must be con [dered in exactly the same category G< s those who dynamite the railway rains. I sincerely deplore the un ardonable crime at Santa Ysabel." A dispatch from Laredo, Texas, ays Gen. Venustiano Carranza, as o ead of the de facto Siexican govern- ~ ient. has issued an order authoriz- t ig "any citizen" to put to death to andits implicated in the killing of w merican mining men at Cusihuira- s hio. according to a dispatch from ueretaro. .ci "FAILURE," SAY FRENCII i emnans Lost Heavily and Gained t Little Ground.

This statement was considered sig [cant of ~the determination of the nited States to enforce protection of a citizens in Mexico. The secretary; Ided another warnin' to Americans; Mexico to. leave districts "where tere is revolutionary trouble." e Congress has been swept by a] t ave of indignation over the killing N American citizens by Mexican ban ts near Chihuahua. Demands for: tion. came from minority members, d.while the administration leaders innsellede patientce, even Senator :one, chairman of the enate for- R gn relations committee, admitted 1 at if Carranza, after a fair trial, I led to protect foreigners in Mexico, tervention was inevitable. e The atmosphere was surcharged n th excitement when the Senate and ouse met Wednesday and the storm 'oke quickly. Senat r Sherman, Re iblican, of Illinois, introduced, a solution to express the sense of ngress that there should be. inter ntion by the United States and i-American nations unless Gen. rranza could comply at once with a 'mand that be protect the lives and s: operty of foreigners. s: In the House Representative Dyer n Missouri offered a resolution ask- N g President Wilson If he did not _ ink the time had arrived to aban- a >n watchful waiting and invade exico. t The resolutions were not acted >on, both being ref erred to the for gn affairs committee. Senators t illinger and Borah, off the Repub-n an side in the upper house, echoed n e terms of the Sherman resolution, bich declared that the Carranza b ivernment appeared powerless to; b pe with the lawlessness in Mexico. Ld declared, intervention the only ternative unless reparation for the n aihuahua outrage were speedily ti ade. c. Senator Stane urged patriotic sup- h rtof the president and. pratient for- ja arance until the experiment of try-.a g out the Carranza governmentn old prove a failure. v "If Carranza proves himself ineffi rt,'' he added, however, "if he is nble to punish ciiminals and to in-* re safety to foreigners in Mexico. I Ink with the senator from Idaho, r. Borah, that there is only one ing ... do, and that is to go down ere armed and intervene." Senator Thomas of Colorado also vised .against ,Intervention exceptc an uniavoidable resort, declaring at the : United -St ates niever wouldn t out. of. Mexico if its armies cross the Rio Grande. He made a vig ous speech assailing the Standard 1 company and the Parson Oil Syn-v cate,- charging that these interess rough rival efforts to monopolize e oil properties in alexico, had been 'sponible for~ the revolutions.t Senator Stone asked: Senator Gal ger what he. would have the U nit-I tStates do. Senator Gallinger--replied witih as rance that he had no desire to emn rrass the administration In tehe exian crisis, but said h'e thought . if the *de facto government could >preserve order, President Wil gshould communicate with con ess and ask what was his further ity.

The desire of the United States government that the two three-inch guns mounted on the, Italian liner Giuseppe Verdi, at Ne-w York, be re moved and the vessel depart unarmed upon its return voyage has been ex pressed to the Italian ambassador, count Macchi di Cellere, by Secre ary Lansing. The secretary's views .ill be transmitted to the Italian gov ?rnment; and it is said until a reply .s received the liner will be detained a port. It is understood that the Wash ngton government will adhere strict y to its policy of opposing the carry ng of mounted guns by vessels ply ng out of United States ports with assengers. Under international law nerchantment have the right to noant guns for defensive purposes. ut it is not expected that Italy will nsist upon exercising that right over he protest of the United States. The quesion of responsibility for afety of passengers aboard the ves- 0 el has been raised. The Italian am- e ,assador, it is said, contends that the s runs afford protection to the pas- k engers by defending the vessel from C ubmarines. State department offi- c vals on the other hand maintain that. he. guns constitute an element of c Langer which would not attend an a narmed vessel. 1 s TO MOBILIZE RESOURCES R u Vilson Plans to Secure Aid of Busi- t ness Men. d C President Wilson has begun work tl o put into operation a plan for pre- h aring the nation's manufacturing, 1u ailroad and other. business resources P or quick mobilization in case of co mergency.
