DR. AMBROSE U SUHRIE
IN THE CITY SEVERAL DAYS
ery insane person for whom admis
sion is desired, except as vacancies
occur by death or discharge, it is
pointed out today in the annual re
port to the governor submitted by
the board of trustees of the institu
tion.
The sanitarium is crowded far
ov e its intended capacity, with a i
total of 4,990 patients, two or three I
rooms intended for one, and dor
mitories congested to the danger
The most urgent recommendation
of the trustees is the erection of a
separate sanitarium exclusively for
negro patients, which will permit the
present buildings to be renovated,
making room for the demands of
white patients.
Imperative need for a new and en
larged water supply and fire protec
tion system is pointed out in the re
port. A fire which broke out last
year was subdued only after a des
perate battle, and had it occurred in
the night it probably would have
caused total destruction and the lose
of thousands of lives of insane men
and women and sanitarium attaches.
The erection of a general hospital
building to be used by the medical
department also is strongly recom
mended. This will separate the hope
lessly incurable insane patients from
those who can be cured or improved,
and will greatly forward the work
of the institution.
It is pointed out that for many
years the sanitarium has suffered
from neglect. Repairs have been
postponed for lack of funds until
they are in a greatly dilapidated cc
dition, and u general overhauling
imperative.
The board suggests an initial ap
propriation by the incoming legis
lature of one million dollary for the
erection of the hospital for negroes,
land now owned by the state t
used. It is estimated that $200,000
will be required to renovate the
buildings now used and make them
suitable for use by white patients.
The medical hospital recommend
would cost about $250,000.
The reoprt shows that the cot*
of operating the sanitarium in 19&6
was $1,119,769, or $234.16 per pa
tient. For operation during the nexl
two years an appropriation of $2,-
351,000 will be asked of the legis
lature.
John T. Brantley, of Blackshear,
Ga., is chairman of the board of
trustees, and both he and his asso
ciates on the board Arill make every
effort to induce the legislature
vot# a sufficient appropriation to re
move from the institution the fire
nu-nuce which threatens at any ti
to cause a tragedy unparalleled
the history of Georgia.
t G. S. C. W. Vi.
I)r. Ambrose L. Suhrie, who hai

text the 11th verse of the 8th chap
ter of Hebrews: "By faith Abraham,
when he was called to go out into
place, which he should after receive
as an inheritance obeyed; and he
went out not knowing whither he
went.” The Bishop from this text
preached a sermon v’hich was deliv
ered in a manner that held the close
attention of his hearer* He pointed
out that Abraham was prompted by
a spirit of adventure, but he went
for a purpose, and with faith in God
and he was going into a land he did
not know. He told the young Iadi<
that when they ’eft the coll ge 'hey
could not tell what the future ha
store fer them, but urged then
go with faith in truth and in God
and that they would come into their
inheritance of a successful life. H«
