Suicide.

Mr.. William Dent, painter, aged %
years, died suddenly yesterday morning
at o'clock, at his home on Ricbland
street, near Richardson. His death was
caused by rough on rats, which he had
either taken with suicidal intent or in q
spirit of bravado. lie had been up
street during the earlier part of the night
and visited several saloons About 8
O'Clock he went into the saloon of j. p.
McCartha, near The corner Of Richardson
and Richland streets, and took three
glasses OF beer. While there he played
pool and seemed to be in good spirits
He had a box CT rough on rats in his
pocket and was pranking with several
bystanders, once holding pinch of the
poison to some ones nose The party
protested that the stuff was poison,
whereat Dent said he could eat it; it
wouldn't hurt him. He then swallowed
quantity of the poison and shortly
afterwards went down town. When he
took the poison at McCartha's it was
about 1890, and he never went back
there during the night.
He returned to bis home about l
o'clock, and said he was sick. He was
vomiting, complaining or violent pains,
and DIR. Kendall was sent for. At about
8 o'clock a. m. death relieved his suffer
ing. No cause was assigned by the
young man for his rash act, although
several persons report that they have
often heard him say he intended to kill
himself some day. He was young
man of genial disposition, aud though he
would drink occasionally was not addicted
to drunkenness. Columbia Register, No
vep,ber 9th.

Governor Sheppard's message to the
Legislature was an able and statesman
like paper dealing with the practical
affairs of the State, and pointing out
some of the most serious troubles hat
surround our government with the reme-
dy to correct them. It is pointed, clear
and argumentative, showing an acquain-
tance with the condition of the State
and purpose to present the whole sub
ject clearly and without evasion to the
Legislature. Governor Sheppard retires
from his brief term rs Governor with the
hearty we'll done Of the people of the
State. He has made us thoughtful,
conservative and able governor.
Throughout his administration he has
evinced so, Judgment and quick dis
elimination, which prove him to be one
of the safest and yet one of the most
progressive of our distinguished men.
1t is pleasant for his friends 10 know that
Governor Sheppard leaves the Executive
Chair stronger and more popular with
the people OF the State than he has ever
been. He will soon be called again to
q high place in the councils of the State.

A Brothers. Revenge.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 27.-Twenty
years ago, in Cherokee County, Ala,
Calvin McFce and Joseph B. Hardwick
quarreled over d tract of land, and the
latter was killed by the former. McFee
fled the county, aud until a few days ago
nothing was known of his whereabouts.
Immediately after McGee's disappear
ance brother cf the murdered Hardwick
started in pursuit, and has spent twenty
years in searching for the murderer and
located him recently at Southwest City,
Mo-, and proceeded to have him arrested.
The arrest caused great excitement among
the cowboys Of that regipn, and Tor time
it was feared an attempt at rescue would
be made.
But it was finally decided to sehd two
of their number with McFee to see that
Justice was done him. The prisoner, his
revengeful pursuer, the Deputy Marshal
and two cowboys reached this city last
night and passed on for the South. At
Hardwick's request he has been hand
cuffed to McEee and the two travel in
convict style.

SIGNIFICANT FACTS.

II is significant fact that the poor
devil who is tied up with ii,n ana
mortgage, and knows he's got to DO so, is
always the first man to pay his account.
1t is significant fact that people al
ways put Off paying the poor Drug man
until they have paid everybody else, ana
then if they have anything left thst
they've no use for, they let him have II,
and think they have done him great
favor.
1t is a fact most people lose sight, OF
that the Drug man has got to pay his
debts, live and keep out of the poor
house if he can, just like other folks;
1t is a fact that Hill Bros. have sold
great many people this year and last on
time, who ought to have paid them long
ago and who havn't.
1t is fact that if this cap fits any OF
you, you may as we'll keep it.
1t is a fact that only the hit dog

that if you want to SOW Grass Seed OF
any kind-C!over, Lucerne, Wheat, &c

THE PENIPENTIARY.
admirable Condition of the Institution

The aggregate .~penses Of the institu.
ton for the year appear to have been
s66,785.37. The receipts were $50 ,456.69,
of which SAC, 10000 was received from
convict hire. The institution, has, how
ever, S11,9l66G to its credit, due by
lessees of convicta. There we're 80
deaths during the year. The report OF
the superintendent says:
On the 1st of November, 1885, we bad
in confinement 945 persons, viz: S26
colored males and 80 colored females, rs
white males and white females. We
have received during the year 400 colored
males and 20 coored females, 81 white
males and white females, and we have
recaptured 6 colored males, making in
all 553, and for the whole year l,498.
The discharges and other casualties we're
513, leaving in confinement on the 3lst
day of October, 1886, S7S colored males
and 3S colored females, 81 white males
and white females.
Of these Mr.. R. S. Pringle has l02
under his contract near Summeryille, S.
c.; Mr.. Dibert has 112 males on shoe
contract, and the Columbia Hosiery
Company has 78 males and II females on
hosiery contract. Mr.. Pringe's contract
will expire on the 31st of December,
1886, and he has signi6ed his intention
of giving up the convict labor entirely
at that time.
Mr.. James l.. Jervey worked so con-
victs from November |, 1885, until June
1, 1886, under his old contract, and 1
leased % to Col. S. A. Pcarce, of Colum-
bia, to work in quarry in Abbeville
County for about three months. These
have all been given up. The Bent
Wood Furniture Company abandoned
their contract in May last, the company
going into liquidation about that time.
IN the final settlement with them we lost
1921. .1S, as we were advised by the assis-
tant attorney general that we could not
realize more than so per cent. of the
sum due by the company at the time OF
their suspension, and ne were compelled
to settle on that basis.
Mr.. A. G. Dibert renewed his contract
for ten years, commencing on the lst of
April, 1886. I am glad to say that his
business appears to be very prosperous, as
does also the business of the hosiery
company under the management Of Mr..
II. F. Moulton.
The following statement shows how
admirably, from a pecuniary point of
view, Col. Lipscomb has managed the
institution:

Besides the entire support of the prison
for six years, the work done on the Canal
for four and half years, and the brick
made and work done for the State House
commission this year. The cyclone in
1880, and the explosion of the boiler in
1885, caused loss of about $4,000, and
reduced the showing made above by that
amount.
As to the convict camps the superin-
tendendent says: "In my visits to the
various convict camps found the con-

and the majority of the prisoners who
had been discharged and reported at the
