The condition oil affairs in regard
to school facilities here is alarming
Alarming is the word to express it in
the sense we mean. The school rooms
are all crowded and there are nov seats
enough for the pupils and there is not
space for the required seats in the build
ing. As all pupils are to be treated ex-
actly alike in the common pnniic
schools, it stands to reason that Injustice
is being done to somebody's children.
The only remedy we see is larger
school building. The conditions confront

The idea OF organizing a mining dis

and as they are seeking to advance the

have common interest; that it will

owners closer together; that progress
will effect them mutually; that it will
have marked tendency to stop perni-

peace among contestants; that it will nip
quarrels in the bud that it will regulate
the unruly and make them bow to rude

opment and work 10 injury.

Attorney General Rrllinscr has
completed his report upon tho Neal
shortage and it is new ready for the
Governors consideration. The report
briefly explains the status Of the cases,
showing why certain deductions wcro
made in tho sums reported by tho in
vcstiguting committee. Tho report
fell MS:
TO His Exccllcncy, tho Governor,
Columbia, S. G.
Sir: Upon the coming in of the re-.
port Of tho committee Of the General
Assembly appointed to investigate
tho affairs Of the prnitcntiary, your
exccllcncy referred the samo to mo
to take such action as would protect
the interests OF the State, and | at
once proceeded TO give the matter
attention.
Tho committee has divided the
late superintendent liabilities into
two classes, viz: First, as shortage
admitted by himself, items aggrc-
gated -, 1Sl.ll; and, second, linblli-
ties "contcstcd by him." composed of
"convict hiro on tic Watson contract
for the years 1896, 1897 and lN9S,

the second class OF liabilities social.
ed. Upon investigation | find that
Neal, as superintendent for the years
lS'6 and 1891, accepted in payment
for convict hire two notes, which he
discounted at the Carolina National
bank and placed the proceeds 10 the
credit Of the prn.tontiurv. The
State received the money arising
from these discounts, and, cunsc-
qucntly, cannot count this as loss.
Tho bank must suffer on this account
unless the General Assembly gives it
relief
For payment Of tho hire Of con,
victs for the year 1888, j. B. Wat
son, tho contractor, gave to the
board of directors of the pcnitcntiary

$4,000, which check was transferred

and is now in the possession of tho
poaitcntiary authorities. Inusmuch
as this check was credited TO the
penltcntlury account, being cx.
changed for the note taken up, it
follows that this cannot be alleged as
a loss chargcahc against Meals OH
cial bond.
AS to tho last item, $40, referred
to as "stablc rcnt,' it seems that it
was allowed by the board Of dircc-
tors as az item of expense and is not
chargcablo as Il breach Of the official
bond. L am, therefore, of tho opin-
ion that at tho present time none of
the charges contained in the second
class Of liabilities could bo made the
basis Of a suit against tho bondsmon

on tho account of tho lease Of con.

tho state has lost $1,000; but |

taken to recover this amount.

Of liabilities, (S3,5Sl.lD, thcro arc

which tho pcnitcntiary received tho
money which it has mover returned

loses $4,000 10y the discounting Of
the two notes which the supcrintcn-
dcht accepted in payment of Wat
sons convict hire, may ask the board
OF directors to refund that amount to
tho bank since tho pcnitcntiarv was
benefited by the proceeds from the
notes which arc now found to be
worthless. 1t is said that the Attor-
ncy General will not advis, tho di-

them said that but all. Some doubted
whether it would pay hut all were agreed
that a tobacco warehouse was a necess1-

a small, cheap affair, but a large, sub

Since Wilson became a great tobacco
market, every other industry and inter

doubled. and the town is hut on the
