ilnriHn Inntitntlon— I The Work of
the Day—Feeding the Inmate*.
In view of the recommendation of
the last grand jury regarding the care
of the insane confined in the Chatham
county jail, and the comments on the
fact that the Miliedgeville authorities
have declined to receive patients in
many cases Tor months after their
cases have been passed upon by a
jury in the Court of Ordinary, some
little account of the conditions that
prevail at Georgia’s great humanita
rian institution may not be out of
place.
So crowded are the authorities that
they can receive no patients in excess
of the number now confined there. In
formation to this effect was conveyed
to the Chatham county officials in the
following resolutions passed by the
board of trustees:
• Whereas, the cost of provisions
and supplies has advanced during the
present year, and
•Whereas, the cost of 31 cents per
capita of the patients now in the san
itarium will exhaust the appropriation
made for the support of the institu
tion for the current year,
•Resolved, That in the judgment of
this board it will be impossible to
maintain the institution with a
number of patients in excess of the
number now in the sanitarium, and
that the superintendent be authorized
t r decline to receive patients in ex
cess of this number, and that he ex
ercise the discretion vested in him in
the selection of the class of patients
to be received.”
These resolutions were passed by the
hoard of trustees, only after it was
found impossible to conduct the work
now going on under the present ap
propriation if the number of patients
should be increased. Duplicate copies
of the resolutions were sent to the
ordinaries of all counties as official
notice of the action.
Something About Sanitarium.
To the majority of the people the
Georgia State Sanitarium for the In
sane is an institution of which little
is known. It is looked upon with a
vague kind of horror, and the impress
sion generally prevails that it is only
a large jail in which lunatics are kept
until death relieves them of their suf
ferings. In reality, it is one of the
greatest of the philanthropic work un
dertaken by the state.
The sanitarium, which is situated at
Miliedgeville, occupies a floor space of
sixteen acres. There are eleven large
buildings covering this area and each
of the buildings is sub-divided into
wards. There are in all seventy-two
wards in the buildings, all in direct
communication by telephone with the
office of the superintendent, Dr. T. O.
Powell.
Admitting New Patient*.
System prevails everywhere, even to
the admitting of new patients, of whom
there are many each day. Each day
a physician, under the title of the
physician-in-charge, together with the
superintendent, receive each new pa
tient. A brief examination is made,
the details of the case noted, and then
the patient is assigned to a division.
Here he is taken in charge by a
division physician and again an ex
amination of his condition made. The
details of his case are carefully noted,
his physical condition commented on,'
end he is assigned to his proper ward.
Day after day this work goes on, un
der experienced physicians, and the
whole under the supervision of the
superintendent. The physician-in
charge changes daily, but the super
vising officer, Dr. Powell, is always
at his post.
Each of the seventy-two wards has
at its head a nurse and under her di
rection are a special corps of nurses.
Each ward has its separate office, its
own medicine room, its own hospital
room, and all the other requirements
which go to make up a great hospital
where skilled physicians seek to "min
ister to a mind diseased.”
The Routine of the Day*.
The work at the institution is regu
lar, routine duties coming each day at
stated hours. At 6 o'clock the rising
whistle blows and at once over 3,000
patients, with their nurses and attend
ants, rise and the daily life of the great
institution begins.
Those who Can care for themselves
are left to themselves, while the nurses
turn their attention to the helpless.
The imbecile, the idiot, and all classes
of the mentally unbalanced, are wash
ed and dressed as carefully as are the
Pay patients in the large hospitals of
any city. At times the scene Is ludic
rous but back of the humorous side
js always the pathetic, always the
thought that these unfortunates are as
dependent on their nurses as is the
lK j' v '* )orn babe upon its mother.
I he patients are then sent out Into
the hallways and the grounds of the
ns..muons, while their rooms are
thrown wide open and thoroughly air
ed. As much attention is paid to the
bed rooms of these unfortunates as
tnough they were owners of mansions,
and every care is given them.
The Serving of the Meal*.
At i o’clock the call sounds for
nrcakfast and the multitude of patients
are fed. Thirty-nine dining rooms are
required for this, and many of them
are exactly similar to those of modern
noteis and restaurants. Others are
ntted out like the mess tents of sol
dierswhere ail the utensils are of
tin. In these the more dangerous are
utens being used to avoid
tn breaking that would follow if
glass and china were put on the ta-
DiCS.
*U r t^ loae w hose physical condition Is

Tables where the majority are fed,
breakfast is served in their bedrooms.

comfortable as possible for the inva-

Heerentlon of tlie Inmates,
During the times between the serv
ing of meals the unfortunates Indulge
in all manner of work and amusement.
iiMise who can work are given things
To do about the grounds. Others con
gregate In groups about violins and
j**Joc* and the enjoyment they de
■ive from the miulr seems to he as
J."T**ut as that of those who are not af*
"s-tciS mentally. Now and then sev
•'al take the venter of the floor and
the old-time break-down holds the
boards.
In other rooms are gathered those
who refuse to dress, and these wander
nude about their little hall. Here and
there is the man or woman who thinks
he or she is part of the animal king
dom and whose utter helplessness is
pitiable. Others hold weighty argu
ments on questions of theology or phil
osophy, and still others fight anew the
battles of campaign that their more
fortunate companions have forgotten
ever existed.
Others are pleading their causes to
visitors and to the physicians, and
though many of the arguments as to
why they should be released are ludi
crous in the extreme, back of it all
there is a touch of the deepest pathos.
In other parts of the buildings are the
maniacs, and their violent shoutings
and wild actions lend an added feeling
of horror to that which comes even
from the presence of the idiot and im
becile, harmless but pitiable.
Sanitarium Stnt i*tl<*.
No better indorsement of the wise
management of the large institution
could be secured than the figures of
the superintendent’s reports, and a
comparison of them with those of
similar institutions in other states.
The report for the eight months end
ing Jan. 1, 1904, showed that an aver
age of 2,770 patients had daily received
treatment. At the beginning of that
period there were 2,716 patients in the
institution. During the eight months
570 new ones were received and 472
discharged, making a net gain of 108.
Since July 1 there have been 670 pa
tients received, 242 have died, and 208
were discharged as cured. This leaves
the total number now in the sanita
rium, 3,044. The percentage of re
coveries is 43 per cent.
The insane convicts, and the crim
inal insane are treated together with
the other unfortunates, though recom
mendations have been made, and as
far as possible carried out, for their
separation. There is a lack of accom
modation for the treatment of tuber
culosis patients, the disease of which
more than half of the negro inmates
die.
Recoveries and Cost*.
Sixty per cent, of the recoveries are
due to the light employment and the
amusements furnished the inmates by
the authorities. Nearly 800 acres of
land is being cultivated by the sani
tarium, the patients doing most of the
work.
The per capita cost at Miliedgeville
is only $.3012. Only four institutions
in the country have a lower cost. Two
of these receive pay patients, a thing
that the Georgia institution does not
do, and the third does not include the
salaries of nurses, attendants, etc., in
the cost, as is done at Miliedgeville.
The per capita cost of some of the
other sanitariums for the insane shows
upon what an economic scale the Geor
gia institution is run. The following
are a few of them: Washington, D.
C., $.759; Boston, $.585; Ward Island,
N. J., $.395; Ward Island, east, $.470;
Connellsville, Pa., $.865, and Warm
Spring, Mont.. $.650.

BLOOD WILL TELL.
It takes lots of vitality, nervous force and
strength to win a race. Blood most be
pure and good.
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness of
the blood, or anemia, is common in men
and young women, and all those who work
indoors, who do not get enough good ox
ygen in their lungs, consequently have too
many white blood corpuscles.
Keep the nerves nourished, the heart
strong, the head cool, the stomach vigorous,
the liver active with a tonic which has
stood the test of time and has a wide repu
tation, such as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery.
Tonics consisting of Urge portions of
alcohol, iron or coa liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they dorfnot enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the excep
tion of the alcohol, which shrivels up the
red blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. Therefore do not allow
the dealer to insult your intelligence by
telling you he has something better than
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

CURES WEAK KIDNEYS.
"Gentlemen: I was troubled a
great deal with kidney trouble, and
my business compelling me to be on
my feet all day only made the pains
worse in my kidneys. I was advised
to try a bottle of Warner’s Safe Cure.
Well, I did, and the result is that I am
anew man now. I can walk home
from work, something I had not been
able to do for over a year. I can
honestly recommend ‘Safe Cure.’
MICHAEL F. SHANAHAN, 146
Bradford St.. Albany, N. Y.”
“Safe Cure” is a most valuable and
effective tonic. It repairs the tissues,
soothes inflammation and irritation,
awakens the torpid liver, aids diges
tion, stimulates the enfeebled organs
and heals at the same time.
"Safe Cure” is purely vegetable and
contains no harmful drugs. It is free
from sediment and is pleasant to take.
You can buy "Safe Cure” at any
drug store or direct. 50c and $1 a
bottle.
Beware of so-eallod kidney cures
which are full of sediment and of bad
odor—they are positively harmful and
do not cure.

Atlanta, Nov. 26.—The trustees of the
State University and members of the
Georgia Legislature, who went to visit
the Universities of Wisconsin and
and Chicago as the guests of Hon.
George Foster Peabody and Samuel
Spencer, returned to the city to-d‘ay,
enthusiastic over their trip.
Gov. Terrell, Judge S. B. Adams,
Col. P. W. Meldrim, in fact all the
members of the party, said that the
system and methods pursued at the
University of “Wisconsin were a revela
tion to them. All the members of the
party spoke particularly of the Agri
cultural Department there and its won
derful development. It is development
in this department, they think, that
the University of Georgia particular
ly needs. There the state experiment
station is a part of the state univer
sity. The same is true of the state
Geological Department. That the same
thing would redound to the great bene
fit of the Georgia University and the
farmers, as well as all other classes in
Georgia, they # believe there is no doubt.
Judge Hamilton McWhorter was
more impressed with the fact that so
much money had been got from the
State Legislature than anything else.
But in Wisconsin there is a sentiment
all over the state in favor of the uni
versity, and it can get anything it
w*ants. The trustees of the Georgia
institution say they are going to try
to build up a similar sentiment in
Georgia.

BULLOCH COUNTY’S
COTTON CROP.
Estimated it Will Exceed 14,000
Dales.
Statesboro, Ga., Nov. 26.—The cot
ton crop of Bulloch county at a fair
estimate will hardly exceed 1,500 bales,
8,000 of sea island and 7,000 of upland.
Of this amount about 5,000 is stored by
farmers and country merchants, with
possibly 3,000 yet to be ginned, and in
the fields. With a promise of good
weather, Dec. 1 will find little in the
fields.
Less than 200 bales, either sea is
land or upland, has been stored in the
Statesboro storage warehouses thus
far, against 2,000 to 8,000 bales of the
previous year, and the general im
pression is that this is due to an ab
sence of a speculative market. The
farmers are satisfied to dispose of their
cotton at the prevailing prices, which
has in many cases proven the best
thing for all interested and especially
when they have been able to sell for a
profit.

NOT FOR BEST FARM
In the State.
“I saw so much in the papers about
the wonderful cures effected by Py
ramid Pile Cure I determined to give
it a trial. I bought from my drug
gist one 60-cent box and used it as
directed, and by the time I had used
the last ‘pyramid’ I was entirely
cured; in four days after I began to
use the ‘pyramids' all inflammation
was gone. I was perfectly easy all the
time, the excessive discharge stopped
at once, and stools became easy and
gentle.
”1 was unable to get my own fire
wood for four months, and half the
time when I could walk at all I had to
walk half bent. I used many pile
remedies, salves and ointments, all to
no effect until I used one 50-cent box
of Pyramid Pile Cure and was cured.
“I would not be afflicted as I was
four months ago for the best farm in
the state of Arkansas. I can give
proof and reference of the wonderful
cure to all who are afflicted as I was.
Please publish my letter that I may
advise the afflicted.”—W. E. Wallis,

The experience of Mr. Wallis is that
of thousands of others who suffer for
years with the most painful forms of

all hope of a cure and look for tem
porary relief only. To all such a little

Another Week
Has Passed
and with It we were furnished some
genuine surprises. We knew that we
would have no competitor of the
AUTOCAR
In quality. We find that we will have
no competitor even ln price.
In our experience of four years this
Is the first time where quality and
price go hand and hand.
We constantly hear of many changes
that will be made ln different ma
chines, and we have no doubt but
what these are necessary. Not so with
THE AUTOCAR. It Is common talk
among the trade that the AUTOCAR
is nearer standardization than any
other American automobile.
THE ACCEPTED TYPE OF
FRENCH TRANSMISSION
which has made Imported cars famous
for the durability hss been used for
years on the AITTOCAR, and is used
on EVERY MODEL they manufac
ture.
THE RUNABOUT AT s#oo
has the same quality, design and ma
terials as the „
TYPE EIGHT TOURING CAR
AT $1,400.
The latter equaling ln every way,
except as to size and horse power,
THE TYPE ELEVEN TOURING CAR
OF 20-11, P. AT $2,000.
The AUTOCAR will be the most
widely copied car ln this country next
season—every automobile publication
brings out something that Is a rank
Imitation. The public want Autocars,
copies sell very slowly.
SPEED.
We have never made any claims of
this kind for the Autocar. We have
succeeded ln cleaning up everything
we have met but the two big fellows.
If you Insist upon a medium priced
touring car, built to carry four peo
ple, we offer
THE ELMORE PATHFINDER
AT $1,050.
This car Is much above those ln Its
class, excelling in POWER. SPEED,
and a total lack of vibration.
OUR KHOW WINDOW
will be ln position this week, and ln it
we wiH show you the most com
plete assortment of automobillsts
needs to be found ln this section. We
are Just ln receipt of the latest designs
in Caps, Gauntlets, Goggles, Lamps,
Hornß and all supplies.
OUR REPAIR DEPARTMENT
is becoming famous for the good work
we turn out. You will be subjected to
no unnecessary delays.
OUR STORAGE DEPARTMENT
is well regulated. We use the rather
old fashioned methods of cleaning,
which have been proven satisfactory
on the finest carriages. Have a look
at those we care for.
