Conditions Better At Sanatorium Investigations by Governor Reveal No Cause for Alarm—Turning Out Patients Not New Policy—Awards •Made in N^edlcman Case—Other News From State Capital. By M. L. Shipman. Raleigh, Sept. 8.—Governor MeLean issued an official statement Sunday morning declaring he had investigated conditions at State Sanatorium for Tubercular? and found conditions bet ter than heretofore, no reason for alarm, and that the turning out of patients was not a new policy. He riticized the Associated Press for sending out a story portraying condi tions at Sanatorium which focussed public attention on the institution. He backed up his statement with letters from the officers of the institution re gretting the impression which had gotten opt. It was stated that if an emergency arose it would be cared for at any and all state institutions. The Associated Press replying to the Gov ernor’s criticism merely contended it self with reciting that its story had been issued with an official statement :rom Sanatorium as its basis, that fif teen days had elapsed and no denial of the story had been made until the Governor investigated the situation and pointed out that the essential facts _We Will Have a Carload of Good fresh Milch Cows at Our Place Saturday September 5th j PREVATT BROTHERS ‘ Millions for New Service HE telephone construction programme outlined /II for this year is the largest ever undertaken by this company. It calls for new and additional plant costing more than $13,000,000. The large, additional investment is but a reflec tion of the demand for service in this and other South ern States. The new plant is necessary to meet the service needs of present and prospective subscribers, whose business ahd social activities require adequate, efficient, comprehensive service. After all, fhfe1’telephone system is merely the joint trustee for those who own the property and those who subscribe for the service. In no other industry are there as many owners as in the Bell System. There are approximately 750,000 security owners and more women than men stockholders. The enormpus sums of new money constantly re quired have gifljatly increased the. investment per tele phone, makinjtit necessary to earn greater revenue per telephone, in order to meet the growing cost of producing service and leave a reasonable balance for profit. Our Efforts to keep pace with the growth and prog ress of this State and to measure up fully to our se rious responsibility arc aided in no small measure by your friendly* encouragement. MORG AN B.

The press organization added its regret that the story had been construed to mean "maintenance funds were low and stated its basis for this Was the statement of the superintendent of tanatcrium that no funds had been provided to care for maintenance of prisoners for 1925-1927 while $37,500 a year had been ffrovided during the previous biennium for each year. As the .situation stands, it is appar ent that patients will be required to eave within eighteen months after they were taken into the institution ir as soon as possible thereafter. The Governor's investigation hus not ■hanged the status of this order of the board, though it explained its rea sons for issuing the order. The earlier oress reports on Sanatorium cited this is its major fact, and its stands. Pa tients will be turned out of Sanatori um because of lack of room. Governor McLean ordered a chem st’s investigation into the death of J. 3. Solorpon of Richmond county, who s believed to have died of poison.
