in that celestial land, where sorrow and

tears are unknown.
The incidents of our Town have
been rather varied. We have had
wedding, which vas peculiarly pleas

the married people) were 'bidden to
the feast" MIR. Pat Sheely was mar-
ried to Miss Mary Sheely. at the resi-
dence of Miss Nancy Derrick, aud Rev.
Efld wa> the officiating minister. Mr.
Sheely WAS frops Lexington. We heard
a gentleman saying that Smoky Town
had to give all her girls to Edgeheld
and Lexington. 1t seemed to be quite
a matter to hiu, as some Of his sous are
just growing into gallant young men
We cannot describe the wedding better
than to say it was a very large, civil
crowd, and the diuuer was abundant
and we'll prepared We thought of
your illusions to Aunt Betsy's cooking
in connection with it. There was not
negro to be seen, the table being
served by polite and attentive gentle
meu. We heard some one say, after
all had eaten, there was enough cooked
for another wedding. We saw dirt
oven in full bloom" that day, and all
who have lived 10 Dutch Fork know
what savory roasts it makes. Alto.
gether we enjoyed the occasion very
much, though the weather Was so cold.
\ sad accident happened Monday
Mr. William Longs son, Willie, aged
sixteen, took his gun to the field for
the purpose of killing larks, which are
so destructive to grain. He had left
the gun on the opposite side of the
fence to hiu. Seeing a hawk, he
started to get the gun to shoot As
he lifted it up the hammer was struck
By knot just when the muzzle was in
range with his right arm. The whole
contents of the gun entered his arm,
between the wrist and elbow, where
they still remain. Strange to say, no
bone was broken, but he has fearful
wound and is suffering much DR..
LaDgford is treating him, and says he
will be up in few days. Christmas
days are almost here, and Willie was
one of our lively, pleasant boys; but
We console ourselves that the wound
"is far from the heart" when it might
have killed him instantly.
AS these are the days for church
repairs, the Baptists are seeing to
theirs. If all the members would
work in proportion to one little, ruddy-
faced boy, named Brady Long, aged
seven years, the work would soon be
done and paid for. He raised S3.l0
in cash, and says that more was prom
ised to him, but they did rot pay him.
Poor child, has his experience not
commenced soou? In spite though
Of all this, by Gods blessing he will
one day make member of whom
Bethel will be proud.
Tell "Squeers" and "Ichabod Crane"
We have wondered and wondered if we
know them or have ever seen them.
We dou't remember hearing thcm at
the meetings. If they really exist,
tell them if they did but know how
hard some people (if they were "only
women') had worked to attend that
Institute, and how much they hoped
for its success, they would hot speak
so harshly. Tribute to whom tribute
is due We have been out of the
corps of teachers for one year, but
enter again iu January, and if the
Institute is created, or rcsurrected-
which is it?-please say, We again
wish it we'll, and hope to hear from it.

The PenitP----iary

Is giving our Legislators con-
siderable trouble. It is an ex-
tremely perplexing question to de-
eide what to do with the convlcts.
That they ought to be made to
work, and, as far as possible, pay
the expenses of their own crimes,
no one doubts. But in what way
shall they be worked? The best
way, undoubtedly, is in building
railroads, digging phosphates, and
in other enterprises of a quasi pub
lie character. The trouble SO far
about this is, that many of those
who hire the convicts for such pur-
poses have treated them so badly.
A year ago We had the horrors OF
the Greenwood & Augusta R. R.
This year we hear grievous com
plants from the Edgefeld & Tren-
ton R. r. Several months ago
complaints were made that the con-
victs working at one of the phos-
phate works were being cruelty
treated. With such experience
constantly recurring it is no Won.
der that a bill has been introduced
in the Legislature to prohibit the
further hiring out of convicts. We
don't think the bill will pass; but
it's Introduction shows the necessity
of more stringent regulations con-
cerning the treatment of conyicts,
and the enforcement of the law
against parties who maltreat them.
A company, or a corporation,
hire, for instance, one hundred
convicts for twelve months; their
object is to get all the work
possible out of them during that
time. It ought to be so arranged
that convicts hired out should be
visited at intervals by an officer of
the Penitentiary, and the first act
of unnecessary cruelty on the part
of the contractors should forfeit
their contract and subject them to
a penalty. Con7icts should be en-
ployed on these works of a public
character as long as such work can
be found for them; and should not
be put in competition with skilled
mechanics until it becomes abso.
lutely necessary for the purpose Of
keeping them from idleness. With
proper regulations cruelty can be
prevented.
It is no maudlin sentimentality
that demands that the convicts shall
receive kindly treatment: both hu-
manity and economy require it.
They are human beings, and should
be treated as such; besides this, if
they do not receive proper treat
ment they become totally wrecked
and worthless as laborers and q
dead expense to the State.

The editor Of the Baltimore

The editor Of the Baltimore
american on a recent visit to Char
lesion wrote to his paper very free
ly his opinions Of that city. While
praising its natural beauties and
advantages he styles it city with
out progress. He attributes her
lack of progress and her slow
growth to selfshness, and says,
"Charleston has always lived for
herself, and herself only" He says
that for a Charlestonian the sun
rises in the Cooper and sets in the
Ashley.
The whole up-country of the
State has entertained this opinion
for a long time; but the Charleston
people have always attributed the
expression of such opinions to jeal-
ousy, or sectionalism, or some other
bad motive. Now that a disinter-
ested outsider expresses the same
views so forcibly and pointedly as
the Baltimore american editor has
done, We hope it may have it's due
effect il awakening the Charleston
ians to more liberal views.
We desire, in common with the
whole up-country, to see our chief
commercial city prosperous but
we want it to be on fair basis of
mutual patronage and benefit.

HaYes' Last Message.

President Hayes sent in his Mes
sage to Congress the 9Th. 1t is a
very voluminous document, and
treats of variety Of subjects. He
devotes considerable attention to
the matter of the late election, and
charges the Southern States with
all sorts of fraud and corruption by
which, he says, they ''defeated the
exercise Of the right preservati7e OF
all rights, the right of suffrage,
which the Constitution expressly
confers upon our enfranchised citi,
zens". In speaking on this subject,
he says: Il trust the House OF
Representatives and the Senate,
which have the right to judge OF
the elections, returns and qualifca,
tions of their own members, will
see to it that every case Of violation
of the letter or spirit Of the Elf
teenth Amendment is thoroughly
investigated, and that no benefit
from such violation shall accrue to
any person or party" Which means
that he advises the House, which
will be Republican after the 4th OF
March, to seat the Republican con
testants from the Southern States.
He goes on to say: 1T will be the
duty of the Executive, with sufh,
cient appropriations for the pur,
pose, to prosecute unsparingly all
who have been engaged in depriv'
ing citizens Of the rights guaran'
teed to them by the Constitution.
In regard to popular education
he recommends that Congress sup
plement the local educational funds
in the States by devoting public
lands to this purpose, or by appro'
priations if necessary.
He de7otes large space to his
pet hobby and sham-''ci7il service
reform and recommends that ap'
pointments be made by means Of
competitive examinations, and he
recommends an appropriation OF
$4,000 annually for meeting the
expenses of a Commission to make
the examinations.
He goes for the wicked Mormons,
and urges Congress to devise some
more effective means of suppress,
ing polygamy. He recommends
either that the Territory Of Utah
be reorganized, or that q law be
passed depriving those who prac,
tice polygamy Of the right to vote,
hold Office, or sit on juries.
he recommends that Gen. Grant
be appointed by Congress captain
General Of the Army, with suitable
provisions relating to compensa-
ton, &C..
A great deal of space is taken up
with remarks about our foreign re
lations and other matters Of little
or no interest to the general reader.
