4 TALENTED RALEIGH BOY.

The Progressive Farmer this week
prints the anniversary address of Mr..
Robert \. Sims, son of Rev. DR.. A. NJ.
Sims, delivered at Wake Forest College,
and says: His speech gives evidence
of thorough research and that he is a
thinker along the right lines.
1T is gratifying 10 know that many
of our young men are not living in ages
gone by; that they have escaped the
communicating influences of a narrow
aristocracy, which. while it has been
buffeted around by men and women of
to-day, still crops out among people who
have been a little more fortunate than
their neighbors.
Young Mr.. Sims inherited good sense
and the right kind of a heart This
was followed up with excellent parental
training, and he has not departed from
it. If he will only continue to allow the
God-giyen sentiment that pervades his an
niversary address to be his guiding star
in the future, he will make a great and
good citizen, no matter what profession
he may adopt"

FOR INSANE CRIMINALS.
An Annex Soon to be Built at the Peni-
Tertiary.

The last Legislature provided for the
transfer of the criminal insane from the
asylums to the penitentiary and apprO-
priated $4,000 annually for this purpose
There are now twenty-six criminals in
the State adjudged to be insane and an
annex for their proper care and confine-
ment is soon to be built in the peniten-
tiary grounds.
Capt. John r. Smith, the new superin-
tendent, says there will be no more
changes in the force until after the next
meeting of the Board of Directors, the
third Wednesday in April. 1t will be
September 1 before all the changes now
contemplated will be made. Mr. Led
better, the Warden; Mr. Bernard, the
Clerk and Mr.. Lowry, Corporal of the
Night Guard, will be retained until that
time.
OF the new appointments made last
Thursday, four are POpulists and seven
are Republicans.
Though three new superintendent Of
farms have been appointed none of the
old ones, except on the Arson farm, have
been discharged and even there the old
superintendent, Capt. Lashlcy, has been
retained in another capacity.
1t is Gov. Russell's desire and Capt
Smiths policy to make changes slowly,
so as not to injure the institution, and
even then to displace good men only when
men equally as good can be secured to
fill their places.
\ car filled with convicts-thirty-n ine
in number, IL whites and % negroes
was yesterday morning taken down to
Castle Hayne, near Wilmington. They
have been let out under contract to work
the phosphate mines there. Most of
them are new men, having been brought
in from the various counties within the
past few weeks.
The State farm at Castle Hayne has
been discontinued and the convicts there
taken to the Arson farm. The manage
ment is preparing to make great eff
fort to so manage the State farms as to
make the pententiary entirely self-sus-
tanning.
AS announced some weeks ago III this
paper would be done, the white guards
at the State farm, on Roanoke river and
near Tillery, have been replaced by ne
groes. Several of the white men who
could have remained, left of their own
accord when the negroes were put on as
guards. There are no conyicts worked
on this farm other than negroes, all the
white c0nvicts having last week been re-
moved to other farms preparatory to this
change Of guards.
The oldest convict in the penitentiary
recently died at the age of so years. He
was a life prisoner and had served more
than thirty years. In few days, a white
woman will have finished a twenty years
sentence, but by virtue Of good behavior
she has gained nearly three years time,
and will have coming to her about 800.
This is the largest amount any convict
has ever received here for good behavior.
