The State Of South Carolina has
one institution of which it has good
cause to boast, that is the State 2eni-
tentiary. Under Col. ". a. Neal
that institution has not only been
self-sustaining, but it has also been a
source of revenue to the State. Col.
Neal has recently paid into the State
treasury $4,000, and besides this he
has put the Institution in first class
condition. The State farms are mod
els, and are worth visiting to receive
instruction in the art OF farming, and
every branch Of our State prison
shows the work of intelligent manage
ment. The prisoners show humane
treatment and the sanitary condition
OF the place is equal to the best coup
ped hotel. South Carolina is fortu-
nate in having secured the services q
Col. Neal, and We have no doubt but
that the General Assembly will re-
elect him without opposition.

The Gceenville News twits US for
complaining of high taxes, but we
have the consolation OF knowing that
the present high taxation is not
caused by mismanagement nor ex-
travagance. The people demanded a
getting away from old ruts; they de-
manded better educational facilities,
and more progressiveness. This de
mand was made when the products OF
our people were worth marketing,
and when they saw all around them
the spirit of progress Had those
whom they formerly entrusted with
power, not been content to live IN a
do-nothing fashion and keeping the
government in the hands OF a select
few. the demand for change would
not have come when it did. The dis
enthroned party cannot with much
pride point back to the days OF their
reign OF lower taxation, because when
they 90 so, the question is at once
put to them, what was done in the
way of improving the State? The old
crowd did not build up the schools,
nor did they refund the States debt;
they had large phosphate income
and they managed to run the govern
ment by taxing the people enough to
pay salaries and keep themselves in
power. IKE Reiormers built schools
ana~eoleges and hreathed new life
INTO the almost dead South Carolina
College and the dying citadel, and
they refunded the States debt.
The opening Of the new phos
plate fields in other States 50
crippled our South Carolina phos-
phate mines that the State has virtu-
ally been deprived Of any income
from that source. The State govern
meut is not responsible for the de-
pressed condition Of our financial al
fairs; that blame rests solely with the
speculators who enrich themselves by
impoverishing those who must live
by the sweat OF the brow. Taxes are
high, and we hope there viii be some
way Of reducing them, bat no people
can expect to have tEeic taxes re-
duccd when they are constantly de-
.nanl:ins improvements :rcn the gov
crnmeif.
The Reform party went iato power
pledged to hold Constitutional Con-
vention; the people are now paving
fer il, and when they made the de-
mapd they knew it would have to be
paid for out Of the taxes.
The thing now to 90, is rot to twit
this faction nor that faction, but for
both factions to 60 to work as har-
morious whole, to meet the present
conditions in a business-like manner
We are satisfied that 20 State IN the
Union is more economically admins
tered than South Carolina, and we
know that our taxes. high as they
seem to US, are lower than any other
