About the Asylum.
We are glad to learn that the very
liberal appropriation made by the
last legislature will enable the trustees
of our State Lnnatie Asylum, as soon
as ti.. work can be done, to provide
for seven hundred additional patients.
The object end Intention of the ap
propriation was supposed to be for the
erection of a building exclusively for
iMgroee and.that the bnilding now oc
cupied by the negroee should, after
renovation, be utilized for the white
males in the main building, and the
main building, to be used exclusively
for white females.
The trustees at their last meeting,
finding that they had deecretionaiy
power to settle the matter, determined
and nnanimbnsiy derided to erect a
bnQding for'the use of the white fe
males and by an annex to the negro
bonding provide for the accommoda
tion oi negro patients for the next do-
cade. The. prejudice of the white
man to a home onoe occupied by the
negro had its influence in this deris
ion. AH of this work can be done
within the appropriation and" onght
to be rnttefaefory to onr people*
Daring this meeting a telegram was
sent to an architect in Chicago (frOm
whom a letter of inquiry had been re
ceived) saying: ’* We want a building
of brisk, three stories, with accommo
dations for five hundred, with lights,
heating, plumbing and oooking in the
most approved style. What will you
do the work tort ’ In less than two
hours the reply came: ’-WewiUdo
the work for seventy five thousand
dollars."
A move has been mode by one of
the trustees to have a skillful occutist
visit the Asylum annually and exam
ine all epileptics therein. This move
b based on recent'disoovery by distin
guished - neurologists proving that
epilepsy b often the result of eye de
fects, and that by a very simple oper
ation the eye defects are removed and
the epileptic restored to health.
Humanity as well at economy de
mands this investigation. There
alwaya a' doubting Thomas in every
organization, bnt in this case if the
doubter will refer to medical bookt on
nervous diseases he will not deem it
necessary to stick hia finger into the
hole bolore being convinced of the
absolute necesdty of tbfs move. We
understand that an appeal will be
made to the public backed by scien
tific evidence oodisputable should the
trade* fail to endorse anl enforce
the resolntion.
A Delightful Occasion.

Something Unusual,
An a medicine, is Dr. Pierce’s Gol
den Medical Discovery. And, be
cause «f that, taere’s something un
usual in the way of selling it. Where
every other medicine of its kinds only
promises, this is guaranteed. If it
ever fails tobenefit or cure, you havo
yonr money back.
It’s the only guaranteed remedy for
rcry disease caused bv a disordered
liver or impure blood. Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, even Consumption (or
Lungescrofula) in its earlier stage, are
all cured by it.
It purifies and enriches the blood,
rouses every organ into healthful ac.
*’ and restores strength and vigor.

strength of pale, puny, Scrofulous
children, or to iuvigorato and brace
uy the system after “Grippe,” pneu
monia, fevers, and other prostrating
aente diseases, nothing can equal the
“Discovery.”
Mr. E. A. Nisbet, of Alabama, who
in the city, would like to confer
with any party or parlies who would
be likely to take an interest in a can
ning establishment in Thomasviile.
Mr. Nisbet has considerable experi-
in the business, and would like,
with the co operation of others, to start
canning factory in Thomasviile.
Small manufacturing establishments
are what build np towns and cities.
Mr. Nisbet is going to make his home
here, and we hope he will receive-ev*
ery possible encouragement from the
people of Thomaayille and vicinity.
