pleasing feature rthat~thiHo~increased
pauperism has not yet produced any
porceptiblo incroase Of crime. How
long we can congratulate ourselves
upon this cannot be forotold. Ono
chcck'to this stealing has been tho
prompt justice that has been meted
out to the criminals by the court.
In this connection suggestion
to the county authorities will not bo
amiss The expense of dieting pris-
oners "a large number of whom arc
Migrants and paupers) in the county
jail reaches annually ovor two thous.
and dollars, while these vagabonds
load a life of absolute idleness while
awaiting court or undergoing SON
tence. Tho commissioners, if it is
not contrary to law, should procure
a penal farm, to DO placed in Charge
of tho sheriff, and tho prisoners
should DO made to labor on it SO rs
to support themselves and remove
this exponse from the taxpayers.
The amount thus saved would be
ample to maintain any additional
paupers that might be sent to the
poor house.
In answer to tho objections that
might be raised, that sono parties
incarcorated arc innocent, and it
would be unjust to subject them to
ponal labor, it might be provided
that II any person, after having
worked on tho farm, shall be
acquitted in court, tho county shall
rcmuncrate him for his labor and
thus give him something to start
life anew.
Great reforms are needed in the
penal and charitable systcm of the
State and the ono just proposed,
while simple, would be found etfec
tive. Conviction will have more
terrors for the lazy vagabond than
1t now has if he knows that he will
have to work for his living. We
call the attention of tho authorities
to this matter.

Increase Of pauperism.

The proposed addition to the
county poor house by the county
commissioners tells it own story.
Heretofore the Accommodations for
paupers seeking admittance have
been ample, for while Fairfield suf~
ferred SO heavily by the war that she
possesses but a small share Of her
former wealth, the number of indi.
gents has not been large Since
the panic of 1873, however, the peo-
pie have become poorer and poorer.
Last year, owing to the small crop
and smaller price Of cotton, and the
political disturbances, there was
great financial depression. The
stringency still continues in a
marked degree, and although tho
colored people are the greatest
sufferers all classes are embarrassed
The increasing number of paupers
will entail additional expense, and
additional taxation to meet it.
While the county commissioners
have bean careful in dispensing aims
heretofore, it becomes them to be
especially circumspect at the present
time, in order that no undeserv;ny
appiicant may be rscoived. It 10 a
