Ants for The vast estate left by mill

'oday at the announcement that

soh Davis, by the will now in con
lfoversy, is to receive a life annuity,
Hhd should the contesting heirs
fueceed in establishing the fact tha,
II instrument is forgery, he
fould come in as first heir and re-

anced.
According to the report of the last
Legislative committee of investiga.
ton, the average cost per annum OF
keeping each prisoner during l8S7-S
was $l3399.
The average cost during 1889 80
was $l22.5O, showing a reduction in
the cost of feeding, clothing and
guarding each prisoner for the past
two years of $ll.49 per annup.
The concrete floor fund WAS not
used on account of the objections Oh
the part of the Northwestern foun-
dry in whose employ the most of
the convicts have been kept making
stoves. The objections were On the
ground that prisoners would find
the matter of breaking casting on
the hard floor very easy, and that it
would be diffiult for the prison
authorities to tell whether the
breakages occurred accidentally or
through the malicious intent of the
prisoners. AS a plank floor, laid
close on the ground, would proceed
torot immediately ON its completion.
and prison discipline will not admit
of a space underneath "A plank floor,
which affords prisoners convenient
hiding places, your comnittee
would recommend laying concrete
wherever new floors are necessary,
covering the runways and exposed
portions with planks, thus insuring
dry, firm and lasting foundations
without additional risk of breaking
castings.
At the present rate of increase of
prisoners, the penitentiary will con-
tain about 450 prisoners by the next
regular session Of the legislature.
There are only cells enough to con-
inc 4O4, with two in each cell. We
therefore recommend that twenty
four double cells and thirty-twO FIN
gle cells of the material such as Is
now used in the prison be purchased
and added TO the tiers on the north !
wings. These will cost In
the neighbOrhOod Of fourteen thOus- !
aud dollars and will accommodate |
eighty prisoners.
The motive power Of the prison is
used by an electric light company

HOME HINTS.

The home IS 10 society what the heart Is to the
the body-the vital motive power.
When the father is vigorous, the mother cheer
full, and tho children happy it is a heaven on
earth.
When disease stalks In and fells the father,
prostrates the mother, or seizes the children all
becomes desolation.
To make tho home happy keep the health
secure Poverty may come, but it can be en-.
dured If the health remains.
No health was ever maintained without
assistance. Health, like the body, must be sup
ported. But do not make mistake and do it
foOlishly.
The best way TO sustain the health Is TO assist
II, 10 stimulate It, The best way 20 heaithily
stimulate is by the use OF pure unadulterated
medicinal whskey. Doctors have declared this,
scientsts have confirmed IL, and both have
insisted that Duffy's Pure Malt Whlskey Is the
only strict medicinal one in the market. In
deed 1t has become, as 1t deserves, a household
necessity. my 19-eoTufr

your paper that move was on foot to re-
quest the street-car companies TO place on
their lines separate cars for white and col
ored people.
It is true. as stated that many persons are
deferred from riding on street-cars for fear
of having unpleasant alterations with the
dirty and insolent negroes who crowd them,
particularly on SUNDAYS,
No father can see his daughters or young
man the lady he is escorting crowded be-
tween two insolent, dirty negro men with
out feelings of indignation. Inever take

JOHN M'cAULL.
Salem people regret very much to hear
Of the sad fate of the once great opera
director, John McCaull, who lived for
many wears in Salem, was editor of the
paper here. and represented the county IN
the Legislature. 1t is possible some public
move may be made to aid him IN his hour
of need.
Captain and Mrs. G. NJ. Homer left here
for a long visit to England last week. The
Captain Is a man having large interests IN
Salem, where he has lived for many years
He made his money as a blockade-runner
on the high seas during the war.

Grand Master Howard j. Wayt of Staun-
ton also, Mrs. Bigelow and Miss Wilder,
of Boston, daughters OF the late Mr.. Mar

Uncle Sam has a recruiting sergeant sta
toned here for few days, who will most
probably take away several young men for
the Third regiment artillery, Onitedstates

The material for the new single-span
iron bridge TO replace the one recently
washed away across the river on the lands
of the development company, has arrived
from Pittsburg, and will AT once be put

Just turned over TO the Salem Furnace
Company the branch road a few miles from
town running 10 the company's mlues, and
il is reported that the furnace Will be put
IN blast as soon as enough material can be
hauled TO keep il running. Impatient
boomers have been fretting tor SIX
months over the delay IN this matter, and
there is no question that the sooner the
furnace IS in blast the better IL Will be for
Salem Experts claim il will be late III
August before they light the fires, and by
that time the Salem Rolling Mill should be
ready, as.they hope to be able to turn out
cOtton-ties for this years crop, and will
probably use great deal OF Salem plg-lron
IN their operations.
