bills to regulate costs and fees. a bill

The Convict Question.

The NctrS 0nd COu'Tc1 sent Mr.. a.
is. Williams on an inspecting tour re-
Gently to probe the question whether
the Greenwood Railroad Directors
were responsible for the terrible NOR
talily OF the convicts employed bv
them. Mr.. Williams makes his rc-

carefully sought for Tie truth and he
gives the stories Of both sides. The
conVlcts fell Of dreadful crucl;irs.

only five times in as many months.
that they were logged daily and beat
ell about the head, and that some.
unable to walk, were dragged along
by the sllacklcs which bound them to

only twice day, and were beaten if
they tried to get more. The authori-
ties of the road bitterly deny all This.

The report is too long to be publish

editorial comment on the report:

dents along the road With these nrc
such official statements as could bc

lishcd. There is, therefore, material
1or forming just and reasonable
opinion.
The conclusion TO which We have
come agrees in the main with that of
our commissioner as given in the
third part Of the report. There was
excessive mortality among the con-
victs. and their treatment was, we
think, unnecessarily harsh. We con

THE CAPACITIES OF TIE Bicyclr

IHE CAPACITIES OF TIE BiCYCLE.-
lt was very interesting to learn by
Wcston's help that Il man can travel
$50 miles in l44 hours, but it is net
less wonderful, and it may be far more
useful to learn that Il man, using no
other motive power than nature has
gwen him, can cover more than twice
the distance in considerably less time.
That fact was demonstrated at the
recent bicycle match in London, when
the winner, in six days Of eighteen
hours each, covered the enormous dis
tance Of ,4Ol miles, and second man
made only fourteen miles less. Scores
OF 200 miles a day were made so often
and by so many men as to be scarcely
worth mentioning. but the winners

these men had kept up their travelling

IIIE MEMORIAL SERvICEs.-As nh.
nounccd in Sunday mornings RcoiStcr.
there was a memorial service in WASH
ington Street Methodist Church for
RcV. Lovick Pierce, -. d., WHO died
recently at his home In Georgia, nearly
one hundred years Of age. This scr
vice was rendered more appropriate bv
the fact that DR.. Pierce was pastor Of
this chnrch in the year 1903, aud laid
tho cornerstone Of the present new
church building. There was only one
person, a lady, present in the c0uwrr-
CATION Sunday who was a member Of
the church when DR.. Pierce was pas-
tor.
Rev. William Martin conducted the
services, assisted by Rev. Mr. Chrictz-
berg, the pastor. Mr.. Martins SER
MOI! mon was a very excellent and impress
sivc discourse, from tho text: 'IIc,
being dead yet spcakcth," the latter
clause OF the 4th verse of the 1lth
chapter OF Hebrews.
The preacher, referring 10 the LONG
and useful life and labors of the dc,
ceased, dwclt upon the influences we
al exert every day of our lives, that
influence still living and operating
after we are dead. Thc great GOOD
which DR.. Pierce did has not gone ont
Of the world, but is still here making
itself felt amongst lis. DIR. Pierce
had been preaching the Gospel of
Christ for over seventy years. The
services were very solemn and aD-
propriate. The chanccl and pulpit
were drapcd in mourning, with thc
inscriptions 'In Mcmoriam'' and
"Rcst" over tho pulpit.-ReyiStcr.

Among the numerous articles recently
published in English journals and reviews
upon the industrial affairs of this country
and the extent to which American compe-
tition must be taken into the account in es-
timating the future of English trade. one
Of the most interesting is that contributed
by John w. Cross to Mscmillan's Maya
zine for January. under the title "Ameri-
ca Rediviva." After q hasty, but as a
whole, accurate sketch Of the circumstan-
ces which produced and brought about the
financial crash Of 1873, he proceeds to
show how far and in what directions the
process of recovery has gone. From 1928
onward the crops Of cereals. with but par
tial exceptions. have been abundant and
increasing; and in 1877 there was the
largest production ever known up to that
time. the lowest carrying rates ever known
and. owing to the disturbed condition of
Europe. exceptionally good prices for
grain and provisiOns. In 1873 the crops
were even more abundant. For the ten
years from 1863 to 1873 the net imports Of
merchandise into the United States
sxesedcd the experts exclusive of
specie. BY the enormous sum Of
