my two guides. I have never grown
tired of study. It is to-day, and 1t has

to me, for it is with persistent work
alone that we can approach the un'

other elevates our soul and entertains
IN us thoughts of justice, Of goodness

more meat, more corn and more OF
everything required to make people
contented than at any period since that
time. Nearly all the farmers have their
smokehouses supplied with enough meat
to run them for the year and their corn

This inventory does not include Soo'-
293. 90 in cash on hand belonging to the
penitentiary derived from the sale OF
cotton of this years crop. Among the

of cotton, SO, 600 bushels OF corn, l,2oo
tons of cotton seed, 2OOO 900 bundles OF
fodder, 5000 tons of hay, 5000 bushels
OF sweet potatoes, 1000 bushels OF peas
200 mules, SO brood mares, II colts, loo
or more head OF cattle and largo num-
Der of hogs and pigs.
From this statement it will be seen
that the penitentiary is a paying insti-
tuition and annually brings in good
sum of money to the State above ex-
penses. 1t is estimated that the net
profits for the present year will be
something like 100000. When the pro-
iect was first being discussed there were
MANY who doubted whether that sys-
tenn could be made self-sustaining. II
has never from the first year failed tc

is no longer an experiment 1t has long
