lie teachers OF Lewis anu / nuTStOu
counties are making arrangements for
a week of camp-life at Buffers Cove,
sometime in August. 1t is thought
that the suggestion will present such
a tempting prospect that teachers
from other counties will be present.
1t is part of the plan that programme
be arranged for each day, with literary,
musical and other exercises adapted
ed to outdoor recreation.
There is an advantage some prop.
erty owners will have if a reassess.
ment for street grades is made; and
that is, q more uniform value will be
established in estimating the pro rata
to be paid. There will be no gilt
edge corners to be assessed out OF ex-
istence, while suburban lots in the
same district were supposed, when the
former estimate was made, to have re-
ceived little more than speculative
increase of value.
The bob-white quail lately released
throughout this county need have no
gratitude in their little hearts for
those who set them free and bid them
grow and multiply in numbers. Their
lives, like that OF Faust, will soon be
yielded up as a recompense for brief
period of indulgence, and in a season
or two the sportsman, with his muir
derous gun and savage dog, will watch
at every covert for the very birds they
now treat with so much consideration.

COLUMBIA, S. c., May 16, 1899.
The week ending May 18th
averaged about 7 degrees per day
warmer than usual, with the max
lmum temperatures ranging from
slightly below to considerably
above 90 degrees each day, and
with the minimums correspond
ingly high.
The rainfall for the week was
generally very light, with moder-
ately heavy rains in the vicinity
of Charleston and over the Pee
Dee region. The need of rain is
general, and the lack of it has
materially injured oats, and to a
lesser extent wheat and gardens.
Rains is also needed to permit
cotton and corn planting to be
completed, and to germinate
recently planted seeds.
Oats are failing rapidly, and
spring oats are already a failure.
This grain is about all headed,
and over the most easterly coun-
ties is ripening. Wheat has also
deteriorated, but not to the same
extent as oats, andoln places con-
tlnues very promising.
Corn continues to maintain a
healthy color, and, with limited
exceptions has a good stand ; its
general condition, for the whole
state, is very satisfactory. In
places it has received its second
working.
Cotton has come up to from
very good to fair stands, except
on red lands. where the ground is
baked and hard and seeds did not
germinate we'll. Cultivation and
chopping to stands is general.
The young plants are small, but
healthy and vigorous.
Tobacco is in urgent need of
rain, both to finish transplanting
and to maintain stands which,
although generally good, are in
places very poor.
Melons have improved. Rice
is excellent. Truck is making
rapid growth. Gardens are va
riable, according to moisture con-
ditions. Berries need rain. Ap-
pies and cherries are dropping.
Minor crops generally are doing
well.
Over the greater portion of the
state the weather was favorable
for cultivating crops, and for gen
eral farm work and the staple
crops, with the exception of oats,
continue in very promising con
dition.-J. w. Bauer, Director,

potatoes are planted in hills they
must be hilled up to prevent their

we have not planted in hills at

COnyicts for the Public Roads

~ W OoioL'"h w Luz SldGe, Ia
vorlng the abandonment of the
policy Of leasing convicts for ag-
ricultural purposes and their as
slgnment to work on the public
roads, the Anderson Advocate
say:
This communication strikes the
Keynote of what should be the
policy of the State in future in
regard to the couvicts, and is ex
actly along the line of what the
Advocate has been preaching.
with this difference, that we want
the State to sell out her farms
and quit the business of farming
and turn her attention TO the bus.
mess of road building with her
convlcts. She has no sort Of bust
ness to be raising 1,200 nor 600
nor 6 acres of cotton even to be
sold at cents. There are about
1000 convicts in the penitentiary,
and if one-half of them are able
bodied these, added to the differ
ent county chain gangs, would
make force of about 1000 men,
and If they were put to work
building macadamized roads the
counties and State at large would
get some permanent results to
show for her convlcts. As 1T Is We
have had penitentiary for thirty
years, and what have we got to
show for the labor and money ex-
pended? Nothing, beyond the
prison itself and the State farms.
During the greater portion of
that time money has been appro-
priated out of the public treasury
to pay the running expenses of
the institution, and it ia doubtful
If the State is not a loser when
the balance is struck. But let the
counties hire them from the State
at the same rate they are now
hired to work on private farms.
and abolish the system of hiring
them out to private parties and
let them be put to work building
roads, and in ten years there will
be such difference In the public
highways that men will wonder
that it was not done long before.
We hope to see the people agitate
this matter and discuss it among
themselves and make it an issue
next year in the election and vote
for candidates who will pledge
themselves to bring about this re-
form, for this will be a genuine
reform that Will bring practical
benefits to the people for genera
tlons.
We have already expressed our
own views on this subject, In gen.
eral accord with those indicated
above. 1t is In order to keep the
matter before the public that we
recur to it.
Anyone can figure out for him
self how much profit there would
be for the State in the lease of
convicts to the counties for road
work. If only 500 should be leased
for this purpose-and this esti-
mate is far too low-the net an
nual income from this source
would be: At 10 cents a workin Q
day, $15, 900; at 20 cents a day.
$3l, POO; at 30 cents day. $46,-
500. The pay would be sure, for
the State, In case Of default by a
county, could reimburse itself
through the tax levy. And of the
remaining convicts, a hundred or
so, working on a State farm.
could feed themselves and the
remaining 400 who might be at
work or in idleness inside the in
stitution. If. 20 counties should
lease the first 500, an average OF
