MANAGERS REPORT.
Mr. Arendei flakes a Very Good
Showing.

The report of Mr.. F. B. Arendell,
the manager and purchasing agent Of
tho State prison, to Superintendent
Day, is given herewith:
"A report from me must necessarily
embrace the business operations of the
States prison during the year just
closed, as shown by the tables and tab
ulated statements which go to you and
to the board through the Office of the
clerk and book keeper.
ut has been necessary during the
year to make large expenditures in the
u 1ay Of repairs and the permanent i'm
provements at the central prison and
at tie various farming camps, for the
reason that, at the beginning OF tie
year, almost every department at the
central prison and at the various
camps had been run down, and in
many instances the prisoners them
selves did not have a change of cloth
ing
There was but little new clothing
at the central prison and no stripes
from which to make it, and it be-
came necessary at once to practically
clothe the institution from beginning
to end.
Il have done my best during the
year to keep down expenditures. bear
ing in mind the necessity at all times
of feeding well and clothing well the
prisoners at the central prison and at
the several camps, and while several
acquisitions have been cut down by me
and many Others disregarGed entirely,
have never failed to respond prompt
ly to any requisition for necessary
clothing or commissary supplies.
"This years accounts are relatively
larger than in former years because
OF material advances in the price Of
almost every article purchased. In
view of these facts It IS especially graf
flying to me, as it will no doubt be to
every one connected with the manage
ment of the institution, and to the peo-
pie at large, to know that, while our
expenditure have been large, our
earnings have been corresDondingly
large, and that the balance is on the
right side of the ledger"

The Samoa question between the

ance and sundry minor matters have
been happily settled. The main ques-
tions which remain are the CONNER

be mainly considered at Washington.
The latter must depend upon the ac-
y OF the Reichstag. Though the

THE KELLEY TREATMENT.
Incidents Showing Its Tremendous
Power For Good

A few years ago, writing of the
Kelley Institute at Greensboro, the
News and Observer said: The efficacy
Of the Kelley treatment and its tre-
merdous power for good seems. to be
thoroughly established" Last summer,
upon taking the train at Greensboro, a
gentleman who had long been addicted
to drink, picked UP a large fan upon
which the above extract from this pa
per had been printed in bold letters.
He famed himself and went his way,
leaving the fan on the seat in the
train But the words sThe efficacy
OF the Kelley treatment. seems to
be thoroughly established" had fixed
themselves indelibly On his memory
and he could not rid himself OF them
AT length he went to Greensboro, took
the treatment, and says that he owes
his later success in business to the
treatment.
That incident caused us to recall the
'eHicacy' and power for good
that the treatment has done for men
We have known. In few years more
than sixty men from Wake county
have taken the Kelley treatment at
Greensboro. Of that number at least
fifty have been permanently benefited
and some have become leaders in
every good movement, showing that it
is a power OF good"
The Kelley cure does not claim to
do anything but put the patient jus:
where he was before he formed the
habit of drink. Men who have been
slaves to the drink habit find the crav-
ing gone; they realize that their will
is re-established and that they have
tee power Of self-control they had be-
fore they ever tasted whiskey.
We give this voluntary and unpaid
statement because a recent remarka biz
cure OF a bright attorney has come
lnder our observation, and we feel Il
duty to commend an institution OF
treatment that saves brains and char.
acter from waste and degradation.-
