The Penitentiary aud Asylum.

COLUMBIA, December 1O.-The annual
meeting of the directors of the Peniten-
tiary developed the fact that the institu-
ton is in highly prosperous condition
under the management of Superintendent
Neal. A detailed financial report was
submitted, giving every item OF expense,
income, assets, etc. This report showed
that the Penitentiary, after paying about
$4,000 for the recently acquired Reed
plantation, will have Sl0,Q 900 cash on hand.
In addition to paying for the Reed plan
talon, a number OF barns have been built
and many improvements made. The
Penitentiary now has on hand eight hun
dred bales of cotton, made On the State
farms this year, which will be sold in
bulk by the Penitentiary authorities.
The institution has an abundance of pro-
visions on hand and is getting along sat
isiactorly in every way.
Superintendent Neal has pet cheme
that he proposes to push through. 1t is
to supply clear, pure water to the State
Hospital for the Insane, the State House,
South Carolin College, Ponitentlary and
all State institutions. He has discover
ed large spring Of clear water on the
Geiger property, near the city and is sat-
isfied the water can be brought here at
very little expense. His idea is to run
the pump by an electric motor, as is done
at Clemson College, and this will need but
little attention. A reservoir, he says, can
be cheaply constructed that will furnish
the requisite force to run the water to the
State House and all other public buildings
The State can. he thinks, save considera-
BILE money having byGits own water sup
ply.
A committee of the authorities of the
Hospital for the Insane and tho South
Carolina College went out to see the
property on which the spring is situated
and to get ideas as to the cost, etc. A
system of sewerage for the Hospital for
the Insane is one of the needs of that in
stitution, and something is likely to be
done on this line, and Superintendent
Neal will give all the cooperation he can.
The Board of Regents OF the State Hos
| pital for the insane met to-day. 1t was
| found that there are now S43 patients in
| the Hospital, and that sixteen patients
were discharged to-day upon the recon-
mendation of the Superintendent. The
department for white women Is very
much oYercrowded, there being in the
| institution 293 White females, against
| 263 on December 1, 1895. Were it not for
the opening of the Dix cottages, which
| will be ready for inmates by the 1st of
| January, it would be only question OF
few days when the county officers
would have to be advised that white wo-
men could be accommodated only as va
cancies occur. While this condition is
common in neighboring States, 1t has
been avoided in South Carolina up to the
present time, and every possible effort
will be used to avoid such a contingency.

W OrdS are Cheap,
Though they to constitute the
principal stock in trade of some people.
Cold Facts and Figures represented by Reliable Goods
and Prices are to be relied upon.

WE have been so busy this season
that we have hardly found time to
write an advertisement unless we tres
passed upon the Sabbath, hut the ''ox
was not in the ditch,' and this was
unnecessary as the people seemed to
know where to come to buy their goods
anyway.
In our 81 years active business ex-
perience we have never been in posi-
tion to serve the people so well and
save them 50 much money on their
purchases as we are to-day, and were
never so much in earnest about doing
business as we are about now.
Notwithstanding our heavy sales to
parties near and far we are overloaded
on many lines Of goods, as our New
York buyer seems to think he can't
load US too heavy when he can get
them at such ruinously low prices for
prompt cash, as he did during the
squally election times just past when
money in New York was worth 80 to
| 100 per cent. on call. This is the ad-
| vantage of always having shrewd
| representative in the Metropolis, but
it takes money to keep this kind Of a
thing rolling, and any who wishes to
select from a stock of goods well bought
and that will not fall far short of s100-
900 in value can do so by calling around
at our store.
Many goods are on the advance;
This is the day of gigantic trusts and
consumers are compelled to pay tribute,
and the promise Of the near future is
they are to be still more fostered and
encouraged. It seems the hide and
leather market has been again cor.
nered. So look out for high priced
Shoes. We are we'll "heeled' and are
prepared to name prices on many new
desirable solid goods less than former
ly. For instance, we will sell you the
best mems homemade, No. l Kip,
Ga., or English Tie that we sold a
year ago for sl.5O now S1.O0. Mems
Genuine Calf, Dongola top, sold last
year 81. 90, now s1.25. A solid Men s
Buff or veal calf at 95c. that formerly
sold for s1.25. Several lines of ladies'
and children's goods are being sold in
the same proportion. We frankly
admit that throughout the store our
values are not uniform, i. e., in some
goods our purchases are more fortunate

The following paragraph is clipped
from the Hartwell (Ga.,) Sun: Over in
soutscarolina Col. T. L. CAN'T is fighting
through his splendid paper, the Piedmont
2ffeadlight, against an attempt that is
being made to cut grand old Spartanburg
sGto two counties. Larry lived long
enough in Georgia to know what mis-
5 takeit is to chop State up into insignif-
cant counties. Don't let them do it il
you can help it, Larry. Small counties
mean, as a rule, small measures, small
means, small men-small everything.
1T is not at. all desirable except where a
county is very densely populated" The
Sun speaks from experience, and knows
the edisadvantage of having small counties.

Editor Adams, of the Edgefeld Adver-
tiSer, has evidently been feasting. on
horse meat. Here is what he says In his
last paper about it: "Horse meat differs
from beef in being slightly coarser in
grain and having aslightly rich flavor.
Its quality naturally depends on the age
ofthe beast. AS q rule, even though it
may be tougher, the meat is far safer to
eat than beef"

: At q recent meeting of the American

AT a recent meeting of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers the
subject of electricity as locomotive agent
was discussed After lengthy debate a
majority of those present reached the
conclusion that while electric power
might take the place ofsteam in suburban
transportation, there was little reason to
believe that it would ever be used in
long distance travel. 1t was argued that
a vast outlay of money would be required
to equip railway system with electric
motive power, and that no profit what
ever could be realized from such VEN
ture The question Of speed as between
steam locomotives and electric motors
was also discussed. and tho prevailing
opinion seemed to be that no electric
motor had been constructed with a
greater speed capacity than some Of the
locomotives now in use.
