Criminal Glasses Growing.

Probably one ofthe greatest dan
gers to organized society is found
in the criminal, classes. The laws
of the production and conformation
of criminals, with their treatment,
should be among the most thorough
ly studied branches of political
science. The number of convicts
in Penitentiaries in 1880 was 35, ,538
while in 1890 it was 5,239, an in
crease in ten years of 6,995, or 81.
% per cent, and during this inter-
val the total population increased
only at the rate of 24.86 per cent.
A gain, the total number of prisoners
in jails In 1880 was Z, ,692; in 1890,
19, ,538, an increase in ten years of
6,847, or at the ate Of 1896 per
cent. Coming to the inmates of
juvenile reforn.atories we find the
humber reported in 1880 was l l 1853
in 1890, IA, 846, an increase Of 3, ,378,
or 29,46 per cent. Its thus shown
by recent statistics that the various
grades of criminal population are
increasing more rapidly than the
population at large. The same re-
suits have been shown by previous
census reports. Il must also be re-
membered that a large number Of
actual criminals are not in contine-
ment, and are hence not included in
the figures showing their increase.
It has evidently become vitality
important question for decision by
society as to the best plan to pusue
toware the caiminal. The Pop
ular Science Monthly holds it to be
fact proved by statistics that a
large percentage of criminals are
defective either physically or m en-
tally, and have had al unfavoable
herodity and environment. Under
the general system IN this country
no attempt is made to rehabililate
them during confinement. Crimi-
nails are first made to a certain eX
tent by unfortunate heredity and
untavorable social conditions, and
then confirmed by Imprisonment

COTTON CROPS TOO BIG.
A New York Papers View of the Past
Seasen' Crep.

The Southern planter realized a
lower price for his cotton the past
season than ever before The gen
eral verdict is that over-production
is the cause. With crop of 8,000,-
900 bales in 189l-92, more cotton
was raised than could be utilized.
It..was not so much the fault OF all
increased acreage in cotton as an
unusually large yield over previous
years. The steady decline of cot
ton. has aroused the planter to his
danger, and he is casting about to
sec what can be done to avert an
other large yield and bring back
the old prices of the staple. If
cotton goes down to cents pound
next year it will swamp the aver
:. age farmer, because he cannot raise
and market it at that price. One
Of the first things done was a uni
yersal decrease of acreage in cotton.
A careful compilation of the acre
age being put in cotton by the South
Carolina farmers the coming year
shows, says the New York Sun,
that it has decreased % per cent.
That is, while there will be about
as much land as ,auch land cultiva-
ted as before, more attention will
be paid to corn andgrain. 1t is a
homely but true saying in the South
that the farmer must raise his own
"hog and hominy." If he has his
smoke house and corn bin in the
West and depends upon his cotton
alone to pay for his supplies, as
we'll as labor, it is only a question
of time before he goes under. He
has the plant for raising everything
he needs on his farm, and by doing
SO aad making cotton his profit
crop, be can succeed. Why does
he not do it? The main reason is
that the farmer is in the hands Of
his factor Or merchant. His sup
plies to ssrun him. while his crop
Of cotton is being planted, worked
and harvested, are advanced to him
as he needs them, and lien is taken
on the growing crop. Consequent
lyoenough cotton must be planted,
not only to supply the lien, but to
recompense the farmer besides. If
he could get ahead enough to run
himself q year he could then raise
his hog and hominy and be tree
man. Tne lien law WAS a G reat help
to the farmers at the start, soon at
ter @sthe war, when they had moth
ing but their devastated lands, and
it helped them on their feet. If,
when they could stand alone, the
law had been repealed, as in Geor-
gia, it would have proved the saliva
ton of the South Carolina farmer;
:, and not until it is repealed will he
be tree from the bondage of the fac
tor.
The present depressed condition
of affairs has removed the scales
from his eyes to a certain extent.
The factors and merchants have
been unable to grant the calls for
advances made upon them this
year, the outlook not being suffi-
cient to warrant it, and to certain
extent the farmer is shifting for
himself. He is useing less ferti-
llzer; he is planting more oats, rye,
wheat and corn; is raising more
stock than in former years. To
the inexperienced eye this is not
noticeable, as along any of the
lines Of railway acre after acre
shows the tops of the cotton plant
peeping above the ground in long
even rows Of green. The farmers
are not discouraged, although many

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Schubert club drew a fine audi
ence at Powers last night and delighted
all with the concert which they gave
under the joint auspices of the club
and the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton. The concert was a success vo-
cally and financially. In fact the
Schuberts demonstrated that 1t Is not
necessary TO import glee clubs to this
city, even though they do not have the
leisure for rehearsal that the college
clubs do. The humorous selections
were the best appreciated and were
loudly redemanded, though every
number they gave was gem. Francis
Campbell sang two solos, and his voice
was notably strong and sweet. His
rendering OF the Toreudor song was
q superior effort in every sense, being
sung with equisite shade and deep feel
ing. Mrs. Clara Murray, the Chicago
harpist, was down for three selections.
but in response to q vigorous encore
had to add another. She was also the
recipient of . handsome tribute, q
floral harp. Sensible taste was dis
played in the making up OF the pro-
gram, 1t occupying just sufficient time
to make every number welcome and
enjoyable.

mates. Griffin came before the board
and asked for . full explanation of the

planned to him, be expressed his
approval and said he had never under

TO do what he could To present 1t in q
