Representative David Howard, of
Baldwin county, in which county the
asylum is located, says there is not a
better institution in the world and that
he intends defending it when th« mat
ter comes up in the house today. He
says he thinks Dr, O'Daniel should
have made the changes while he was
an employe of the institution and not
hava waited until he was out cf n posi
tion there.
The state sanitarium is perhaps the
biggest institution in the state. ,Dr.
Powell is in charge. Over 2,700 peo
ple are now there for treatment.
Members of the house are considerable
stirred up.
The minority report is r.ot signed by
any ot the senators who were members
of the committee, The minority re
port follows:
STATS SANITANIUM C.tlTIOISED.
Mr, Speaker: We, the undersigned
members of the committee to the Geor
gia State Sanitarium, beg leave to sub
mit the following minority repott. We
find the grounds and buildings of said
institution in good condition; we find
further that the sanitary and hygienic
arrangments ot the institution are as
near perfect as it is.possible to -get them;
we also find that the patients of said
institution are fed well and that the
food is well cooked.
“We find, further, that the superin
tendent ot said institution lias been
derelict in his duty in the following in_
stances: He lias allowed the a'tendants
of certain wards to be cruel to and to
handle the inmates ot said wards
roughly, and, in fact, so roughly as to
cause a fracture or dislocation of the
keen joint in one instance, and by al
lowing said attendant to resign and go
unproseculed, instead ot discharging
said attendant and prosecuting him, i s
he should have done,
“We find also that the board of trus
tees have been derelict in their duties
in the following instances: They have
turned down propositions which, if
they had accepted, would not only have
saved the state $400 or $500 in expeme
but would have actually been a net in
come of $500 or $600, by earning an
interest of 2 1-2 per cent per annum oa
all daily balances and doing away en
tirely with a treasurer’s salary ot $200
or $300, which they are now paying,
and which they paid the last lisc-J
year.
“We further find that the board ol
trustees have been derelict in the per
f'orniance of their duties by accepting
bids for buildings that were $4,000 or
$5,000 higher than other bids received,
when said lower bids were accor-
panied by the required certified cheeks.
“In view of the foregoing charge-
having been brought before this com
mittee and having been in our minds
sustained, we, therefore, most earn stly
request that a committee of five, three
from thejhouseand two from the senate
be appointed to visit the Georgia State
Sanitarium during the interval which
will exist between the adjournment ol
the present session and the meeting ol
the general assembly in Octobi r, 19 )?,
and that they be requested to thor
oughly investigate the above charges
as well as others that have been brought
before this committee, and that the
time to be consumed by the said in
vestigating committee be fixed by said
committee, and we further recommend
that the said investigating committee

STATE SANITARIUM PRAISED.
The report which is favorable to the j
State Sanitarium is as follows:
“Mr, Speaker: The joint commit
tee of the senate and house on the State
Sanitarium has fully and impartially
investigated the charges preferred by
Dr, O'Daniel against the board of trus
tees and Dr. T. O. Powell, superinten
dent, and after visiting said sanitarium
in person and after examining all the
witnesses mid the documentary testi
mony in reference to the charges, the
said committee is perfectly satisfied
that there is not any satisfactory evi-
dence to sustain said charges, either
against the trustees or against the super
intendent, and said committee is per
fectly satisfied that the trustees and the
superintendent are faithful to their
trust, and have the interest of the in
stitution and the people at heart.
“We further find that the instituy
tion is economically and faithfully man
aged, the inmates are well cared (or
and the buildings and furnishing* are
in good condition and nicely kept, and
we desire to commend the officers of
said institution for the faithful dis
charge of their duties, and said officers
deserve the thanks ot the people ol
Georgia for their kind treatment and
uniform courtesy shown the unfortu
nate inmates.
“We would recommend to the boa:*
of trustees to continue to exercise the
mo.-t rigid economy compati! le with
the interest ol the state and the in-ti-
tution in awarding contracts; we would
recommend that the Slate sanitarium

Gentlemen:
. There is one thing and a most important one we loft out in
congratulating you on your excellent buggies, that is the “World
beater”—your “Long-Winded” axle. We find that our point, when
by chance a customer is slow in making up his mind on buying
will bring him to an immediate conclusion that he must buy and that
the famous “Rock Hill” with the “Long-Winded” axle. The replies
we’ve had from our customers as to how they liked them always put
a smile of satisfaction on their faces and they way “they are the stuff.”
May success be your reward for in your buggies yon give more to
the denier who is then in a position to turn the good of your points
over to his customer who in return gladly pays tho worth of a bug
gy when stamped “Rock Hill” or '‘Carolina. ’
Yours truly,
DANIEL <fc MILTON.

obligated Cotton. We have just received a Special Shipment of the
colebrated Florence Wagons which we now offer you.
Thanking you for past business, and assuring you that we will bn
