living in modest rooms on New York avenue
at the capital when she wrote anne y the
novel which gave her her greatest reputation.
The copy for this book was bundled up for
her by a congressman, who was n friend Of
mine, and he tells inc he sent it off to Har-
pers' in "a shoe box, expecting it to come out
in book form. The Harpers used it as a serial
for their magazine, and upon its conclusion
published it as u book. 1t was here that Walt

Fully Half Right.

Senator Maxwell introduced a bill into the
last Legislature reducing the number Of Coun-
ty Commissioners 10 one. In that act he was
quite half right, but nc would have been al
together right If he had included in the duties
OF that officer the duties now discharged
by the School Commissioner. One officer
could take the place Of all four Of the COM
m,ssiorers-three County Commissioners and
one School Commissioner. There is no more
need Of two sets OF Commissioners than there
is for two Treasurers.

Superintendent Of Education abolished, and
require the Secretary Of State, or his clerk, tC
perform the duties necessary TO make an in

The wholesale denunciation of any class OF

Hodges nearest ncighbors is a shoemaker,
and good one, too. No truer soldier was in

cob Kurz, Charles Z. Bruce ]. Marion Car
Isle, James Magill or James NJ. Wright.
Bruce and Carlisle each lost n leg in the

10 his grave. We have no doubt that cieher

The Disposition of Cenvicts.

We have heard it suggested that the next
Legislature should authorize the authorities
of the penitentiary to hire out convictS TO
work on the new railroads which IT is pro-
posed to build In this State. AS the Columbia
Canal has had the free use Of 203 to 30 con-
ricls for years, it will be proposed that the
next Legislature divide out the convicts be-
tween the canal and the new railroads, and
that the State take pay for the convicts in
stock or bonds, as may seem best TO those In
authority.
The proposition, VIC think, is q good one,
nnd one which should be acted upon. From
the fact that the State let the Greenwood and
Augusta Railroad have hundred convicts
for year or two, we are enjoying the benefits
of about two hundred miles OF road, which
would never have been built except for the
fact that the road was graded to Greenwood.
Because this work was done, we have the Sa-
rannah Valley Road, the Laurcns and Green
vile Road, and the Road from SpGrtanburg
10 Augusta-in all, over two hundred miles,
and worth over million Of dollars for taxa
ton, which returns in taxation every year as
much as the hire Of the convicts were worth
from beginning to ending. To make the
whole better, the State sold Its stock for sew
enty-fve cents on the dollar and thus receiv-
ed in cash three. fourths of the cash value OF
The hire of the convicts. and secured the road
for taxation for all time to come.
