Legislature appropriated forty three
thousand dollars for this purpose.

how this can be done.
HOW TO COMPLETE THE COLLEGE.

that much. The trar sfer of the agri-
cultural bureaus work to Clemson

it the fertilizer fees. amounting this
year to S42 500. After deducting the
$4,000 as above there will be left
for use next year an estimated
amount equal to 32,3OO from this
source.
The department building at Co.
lumbia should be sold and the pro-
ceeds can be applied to building
purposes. This building has cost up
wards of $4,000, and should be
worth at least $4,000. If more. so

/ wedding OUT THE ASYLUM.
To relieve the existing pressure
and to restore the institution to its
proper uses as hospital for danger
Gus and durable lunatics I advise that
commission of three physicians and
two citizens be appointed by the Ez-
ecutive, and to be paid out of his
contingent fund, who shall make q
thorough examination OF the inmates
confined there and return to the
counties from which they came all
persons who can be safely sent away.
Time for the necessary preparation
on the part of county authorities to
care for them should be given, but
the Asylum should be pursed as
soon as possible. Another point in
connection with the Asylum is that
under existing law the Governor has
no connection with the Asylum ex-
cept to appoint regents and other Of
fcials and employees, and after this
is done any interference on his part
in its management can be considered
intermeddling. AS matter of sound
public policy the Executive ought to
be ex-oficio member of every board
in the State having the expenditure
of public money and should have
personal supervision of its work.

In connection with this matter of
boards I find that all the regents of

I answer unhesitatingly: No! In
our towns and villages by reason Of
supplementary taxes or voluntary
contributions the schools are fairly
good Among the farmers in the
country the good school is the ex-
ception; while inferior schools, which
run three or four months, are the
rule. There is just enough effort by
the State to paralyze private schools

| LIE LUNa11C AS1LUM.
I have made one brief visit to the
Lunatic Asylum and have made such
inquiry and investigation as T could
in regard to its system of manage
ment. The institution is very full
and the appropriation for this year
has been $4,000, with an income
in addition of about $4,000 from
pay patients. The outlay on this
charity after deducting the interest
on the State debt is about one fifth
of our entire State expenditure The
report Of the superintendent shows
4+3 white and 333 colored patients
in the institution and a percapita ez-
penditure of 81 cents a day.
But the comparison with institu-
tions whose patients are all white is
unfair and misleading. A glance at
the accommodations, clothing, etc.,
Of the colored patients shows that
they do not cost anything like this
amount, and, therefore, the white
patients are costing much more per-
capita than is shown in the report.
I am not prepared to say whether
there is room for retrenchment or
not in the management, but I am
very positive on two points: First,
there are people in the Asylum who
ought not to be there, because they
can be more economically supported
elsewhere; and second, a change
should be made in the law so as to
require each county to support its
own insane. There are many rea-
sons for this change; which I will
enumerate.
The Asylum has three classes OF
patients: l. Those who are sup
ported by the State. 2. Those who
are partly supported by the State.
3. Those who pay for their own sup
pert.
Again, its patients are divided into:

A PRETTY YOUNG SPY.

A Gomelv Young female honiad
b; IS developed a new industry 10
the Nutmeg State, says a New
York San, and is making money
at &. She is the spy and Scout for
a la rye band of travelling thieves.
The robbers dwell In tie green
wood, and for several weeks have
been encamped in the thick forests
about New Britain. Within a few
days loads of fowls began to dis
appear from ali the hennerles in
that region, and it was patent that
the merry men in the woods took
them. Conrad Steffler, on the
Black Rock road, lost a lot of fine
chickens, and then the thieves en-.
tered the hen house of Mrs. Frank
Bacon. They cut the leather
hinges oil the strong outside door
aud took her choicest fowls.
A cunning farmer investigated
the dolngs of the gang in the
woods. The young woman OF the
band, who is eighteen years old,
works IN this way. She visits a
house, pretending that she has
costly lace for sale, and, If no men
are about urges the housekeeper to
buy her wares. If she can't sell
lace, she asks for cast.off clothing,
and she keeps chatting in order to
prolong h er visit. She gains the
confidence OF the housekeeper, and
is permitted to stroll about the
premises. Thus she learns where
tie hen house is, how it is fastened,
and what kin OF fowls are kept
therein. She takes mental notes
of her discoveries, and at the end
of the day reports them to the
band. The gang is enabled in this
way to operate Intelligently, aud
is making money. The fowls of
fancy breed they sell to dealers in
fine birds; the common fowls they
dress aud sell to market men. The
troop travel from town to town.
The young woman is pretty and
has engaging ways. She dresses
well. The robbers carry tinman's
store, and pretend to be umbrella
clock and tin pan members. They
are shrewd, and their method of
stealing being an original one, 1t is
hard to convict them.
