his barn by two employees known only
as Sam and Oscar. The murderers had
been stopping at the farm only about
week, having tramped their way to the
place, where they applied for work. They
struck OFT with a club and then, alarmed
by his cries, cut his throat. Robbery was
the motive, the murderers threatening
death to Otis mother if she did not keep
quiet while they searched the house. The
robbers secured $50 and q watch

Our congressman.

The Washington correspondent OF
the News and Courier under date of
last Saturday, says "none of the South
Carolina delegation have arrived here
yet, but it is probable that the members
of the House will be here in time for
Mondays session. The present delega-
ton, with the exception of Capt Shell,
who was detained away from the
House on accoun mt of sickness, was
regular in its attendance last session.
Messrs Latimer, Talbert, Izlar, Strait,
McLaurin and Murry not only attend
ed all of the daily sessions, but they
were generally on hand at the evening
sessions. If all the members of the
present House were as regular in at
tendance as the South Carolina delega-
ton the Republican majority in the
next Congress might have been some
what reduced. In number of in
stances in the North and West the
point was made on the stump against
certain gentlemen, who are noted for
theirabsenteeism, that it was not worth
while to send men to Congress who
required to be arrested by the sergeant
alarms and brought to Washington
before they would attend to their Con
gressional duties" This is certainly
Complimentary to our members, and
proves that they believe in attending
to the business that the people elected
them to attend to. If Congressman
from other States had done the same
thing. the late election would have
gone very different from the way it
did

ulations. at the same time giving to
the honest lender full and ample Sc
curity under the law.
Almost every department of the State
government having been reformed
there is one which has not received
your attention-the States prisoners.
These unfortunate creatures are COM
mitted to our State penitentlary for
punishment and not depreciation.
While, of course, there can be no such
punishment without degradation, still
it is the province of government and OF
Christianity to rescue the fallen, and
if possible to restore them to society.
There are 2O6 prisoners in the peniten-
tiary of the class known as Juvenile
offenders" Boys under the age eff 20
years should not be punished along
side of men of matured habits, with
wicked and abandoned hearts. The
result of such treatment is invariably
degredation and ruin of the younger
mind, and when discharged from con-
finement they re-enter society with dis
eased minds and hearts, only to return
to prison for the commission OF more
serious crimes. These young offenders
should at least be isolated, furnished
with different garbs and given good
and wholesome instruction until our
Stateis able to build reformatorles for
them.
The practice of leasing convicts to
private parties is repulsive to our insti,
tutions, results in cruelty and should
not be allowed by law. Under our
new county government law it is to be
hoped that our convicts will be put
upon our public highways and give us
that greatest boon-good roads. l
would suggest that this road law be
amended BY requiring all convicts
sentenced for period of five yeais or
under to be placed upon the chain
gangs instead of limiting this service
to those sentenced to two years. 1t IS
as easy to protect and guard the one
as the other, and a larger force will
thus be given our road supervisors.
It is not my desire in this address to
review every reform that has suggest
ed itself to me. I simply call these to
YOUR attention as of grave Importance.
I shall, from time totime, as the Con-
stitution requires me to do, communl-
cate with you by special messages.

tits a matter of congratulation to
the people that the effort to stay the
course OF Reform by an appeal to the
ignorant and purchasable vote has
been rebuked the second time in a
manner unmistakable in terms, and
let us hope that in the future there
will be found in the State no man so
ignoble as to dare threaten us with a
return of the dark days from 1868 to
1876. It is unfortunate indeed that the
foundation of our social and political
institutions is the unity of the white
people. This condition was thrust
upon US by the emancipation and en-
franchisement, with one stroke, of an
unfortunate, ignorant race, unfit to
govern themselves. Placed in power
BY the bayonet, forced to govern their
former masters, we thus witnessed a
spectacle seldom recorded in history,
a government of ignorance, vice and
corruption, over wisdom, virtue and
honesty. Such condition of affairs
was not expected to be perpetuated,
and it was no surprise to wise and
thoughtful statesmen that a reversal
was had at the very first opportunity.
The result has been to limit our politi-
cal affairs to the control of but ono
party, to wit: ''The White Mans
Party"
This was necessary for the preserva-
ton of our institutions. Times
change and men change with them. "
The fear of Radicalism has been dying
out year by year on account of the in.
activity of our foes, differences of
opinion have arisen naturally as to the
administration of our government, un-
til finally some of our citizens have
