THE PENITENTIARY.

The last Legislature limited the ap-
preparation for the support of the Peni-
tentiary to the sum of twenty thousand
dollars. This hss made it necessary for
the Superintendent to reduce the fare of
the convicts, and it is said they are now
placed on diet of bread and water.
There is no doubt that the Penitentiary
system in South Carolina for the last
eight years has been very bad one.
The management has not only been at
fault, but unnecessarily expensive. The
Penitentiary has been filed with those
who were too lazy to work, and preferred
to steal rather than starve. The vicious
and idle have preferred the easy time
and substantial fare enjoyed in that in
stitution to labor in the field, and henec
its walls had no fears for them, and e1-
erted on that class of criminals no inhu-
ence to suppress or restrain the commits
sion of crime. Things have now, how
ever, changed, and the law-breakers may
be assured that they must suffer the pen
atty of violated law. The protection OF
society demands that our penal institu-
tons should be so conducted as to make
them dreaded by the most vicious in the
State. But why should the Penitentiary
be a charge to The State 2 There is de-
mand for labor upon the public works OF
the State far surprising the ability of
convict labor tc meet it. This labor can
be made remunerative and conducive to
the interests of the whole State. Let the
convicts be made to work in building
railroads and on other public works, and
then instead of being charge to the
State and deriving their support from
the toll and laber of the honest and in
dustrious, they will be made to contri-
butte to the permanent development Of
the material interests of the whole pee
pie. Hard labor is the punishment
which they most dread, and it is this Of
which the country is at present most in
need. Let us utilize this labor, and
make it the protection of society and al
the same time an element of material
progress.

The Eastern States do not feel q
material improvement yet in business,
but "out West" there are numerous signs
of return of prosperity. Good crops
and good prices have put the farmers in
condition to pay off debts and leave
something over for the purchase of lux
uries, such rs they have denied them
selves during the hard times. The prices
of Western land are advancing under the
new impulse and the more hopeful pros
poets, and at the same time decided in
crease in the emigration West is noticed.
This is partly made of foreign arrivals
and of emigrants from the Eastern States.
The activity in Western railroad mining
and other stocks is indicative Of the turn
of the tide from the low water depression.
The East must ultimately feel the bene-
fit of the Western buoyancy and find a
sale for its goods and manufactures.

During tue hail storm last Thursday,
and when the hail was at its biggest,
one of the students at st. Johns Acad-
DENY, son of Col. B. w. Edwards, of
our town, saw small black object de-
scending from the heavens, and watched it
until it reached the earth. On going to
see what it was, he found it to be ter
rapin of about four inches in length.
He gave it to a little son of Maj. Spain,
in whose possession we saw it, few days
ago. The story is certainly strange, but
the lad affirms it is true, and no one has
reason to doubt it.-DarISngton Nears.

that already there have been received
six thousand applications from persons
claiming pensions under the act lately

When the bill was under consideration
before Congress it was stated on the floor
of the Senate that the number of pen
sioners would not be more than few
hundred.

some plow lines, doubled four times, fas'

other to nis neck, and jumped from the

times before endeavored to take his life.

A few days since little son, four
years old, of Mr.. Carter Culbertson,
accidentally got hold of bottle of some
kind of alcoholic liquor, of which he
drank to such an extent as to prodnce
death in a few hours. The bottle con-
tanning the fatal poison was placed some
where about the house within the reach
of the little fortunate, and death was
the result. This should caution parents
to be careful, and place no dangerous
drug or medicine within the reach of
their children.-LaurensviNe Herald.
- Immigration figures are again going
up. During the first three months of the
present year, the total of arrivals at New
York was 1886, against {, 7,250 arrivals for
the corresnondinp period of 1877--an in
crease of 1886. For the last three years
there has been constant falling off,
month by month, in immigration, but it
would seem that the tide had now begun
to set again in the other direction, and
in the event of general European war
it will probably be greatly accelerated.
