A Statement -fiy-chairman Webb or
Commission, Gives Full Details'
of Matter.
Ashovllle Gaxette-Xcws, 7th.
Charles A. Webb of Asheville
who is chairman of -the State hos
pital commission, which was crea
ted by the legislature of 1907," un
der what is known a the Bickett
bill, and which-has in-its hands the
expenditure of the $500,000 appro
priated by the general assembly of
1907,. for the enlargement of the
State hospitals for the insane, with
rfrence to an article appearing
i? thenAhevill Citizen," the Mc
Dowell Democaat and the Taxing
ton Dispatch concerning an idiot
boy whose parents reside in Mc
Dowell county, near the line of the
southern Railway com pan 7, today
gave out the following statement:
"I have known for some time
about this boybaving myself ob
served him tied to the apple tree
as I passed by on the train. The
boy s father is named Andrew Bart-
and he ivcs in a little cabin at
Pejdron, just beyond Round Knob
in McDowell county. The boy is
about seventeen years old, and is
as stated an idiot, having been born
so. His parents are, of course,
poor people, but have managed to
providh for the boy as best thev
could. On account of his afflicted
condition he has been a great care
to his mother and father and young
er brothers and sisters. He is harm
less, as I am informed except on
certain occasions, and at times it
becomes necessary to tie him, which
is not generally done unless his
father is away from home. He is
tiea moreMor his own protection
than anything else; to keep him
from wandering away and getting
onthe raslroad track. N
"Up to the year 1907, the Stat
uau 1101 unueruiKen to provide fo
idiots and other mental defecti
but under the Bickett bill, the)
oiaie is now required to take card
for all such. As soon as I had mv
attention callect to this boy, I im4
mediately tooK tne matter up witrf
me suentt of McDowell county
also with the clerk of the court
of the peace, Esquire Sandlin, whq
ives at Old Fort, for the nurposd
of getting this boy admitted inti
the hospital at Morganton. Theu
took the matter up with the boy'h
father and mother, and the mother;
persistently refused to allow hid
to be taken from under her car
and keeping. She stated that sh
had managed to take care of him
all during his life, and that becau
of his pitiful condition, she was
unwilling to let him go. She statJ
ed that on account of bis affliction.
and his utter inability thelphim-t
self, she could not bear the idea of
placing him under the care and
keeping of absolute strangers. It
was on her account alone that the
officials of McDowell county have
not taken official steps. to place this
poor boy in the hospital, and while
she is doing the best she can for
him, the boy is not as well cared
for as he would be at the hospital,
yet her devotion to her child is
commendable and everyone must
sympathize with her in her desire
to have with her, her afflicted son.
The fact that the boy has to be
occasionally tied in order to keep
him from harming himself or get
ting into trouble, 4s not as bad .as
it appears to be; were he taken to
the hospital, he would have to be
confined, and be among strangers.
However, I think it would be-best
for the boy were he taken to the
hospital."
Mr. Webb also stated that the
State Hospital commission, since
its creation, had provided for lOD
additional female patients at Mor
ganton; 100 additional- male pa
tients at Raleigh, and 100 addition
al patients at Goldsboro. The com
mission is now erecting at Jtiaieign
10 new buildings, which will -ac
comodate 400 other additional pa
tients, and this, building will be
completed-in 30 days'. The com
mission i also erecting at Morgan
ton three additional buildings,
whirh will accomodate another
hundred patients. These buildings
will be complete in 60 days. v nen
rfM ihfico hnildtnfrs are completed,
it 1 t via k s HtSM 5 -
the Hospital commission iwill have
provided additional , accpmodauoni
for 800 additional insane 'at the
several different $tate institutions.
' We agree with Mr: Webb ,that
it would be best for.the boy were
he take to the hospUal; :and. wo
believe it would be far better for
the family':-too" rif? hel were there.
It would relieve'thaVparents ; of a
great' care5and t tlie Jboy vould be
o-ivpn ftrWntlerriattention than
his parents are;abte to-proyide for
him.1 The case is : pitiable, but.we

Will "Woody Meets De4h in Ulc Mim
Other Items or Interest.
. Mr: Fate Eogli 0f CUrruaa,
this coun, and Mr. Will Woody,
visited the Flat Rock mica mine
last Monday, presumably to do
some prospecting. ThU mine
which is lOnfilesfrom Rakersville,
has not been regularly worked for
a number of years, and it appeam
the men had not announced their
intention of entering it Failing
to return to their homes that eve
ning, some uneasiness rm. feli
but nothing much was thought, of
their absence. Not returning next
day, however, the resrwetive fami
lies becamo much concermxl for
the men's safety and a wrch wm
instituted. All day Tuej-iay atvd
Tuesday night passel and still no
word from the absent opp. No
particular attention waVpaid to
this abandoned mine, and it seonu
only by chance that a lad in hia
search Wednesday morning heard
a sound, and upon closer investi
gation found that it emanated from
the bottom of the shaft. I'pon
notifying others, the horrifying
discovery was made that forty fet
below the surface the missing men
had been entombed alive by a rave
in; but upon reaching them it wm
soon discorered that death had
quickly claimed one and life had
almost o'eparted from the other.
Mr. Woody was fouud completely
covered by several feet of erth
with his neck broken, and Mr.
