Our business has grown with increasing

The Treasurer of the State has called
my attention to the fact that there are a
number of old bonds which have hitherto
been reported as fundable, but which un-
der the Act of 1898 are now no longer 80,
and among them are the bonds claimed
by the State Bank blue Ridge Railroad
bonds of 1882 to the amount of $4,000.
The Act of 1896 referred to prohibits the
State Treasurer from funding or paying
any bonds after the expiration of twenty
years from the date of maturity. The
bonds above mentioned matured on July
Ist, 1879, and the twenty years limitation
expired on July Ist, 1899.
These bonds, it may be recollected,
have been the subject of several applica-
tions to the General Assembly for permis-
sion to fund. them without the surrender
of the bonds themselves. One hundred
thousand dollars of these bonds were, it
is alleged, plundered and taken from the
Bank in February, 1865, by the Federal
troops in their march through the State.
They have from that time been constantly
claimed by the Bank, the receiver Of
which obtained an injunction from the
courts as early as 1870, restraining the
Treasurer Of the State from paying prin-
cipal or interest Of any Of them to any one
but to the receiver, and under that in
junction all of these bonds but the thirty
seven now remaining upon the Treasur-
ers books have from time to time been
recovered by the receiver of the Bank,
and by him funded. No one has during
the thirty years since the injunction has
been in force claimed the bonds in ques-
ton, and the Courts of the State have de-
clared that they are the property of the
State Bank, and that the receiver Of the
Bank is the only person entitled to fund
and collect them from the Treasurer of
the State.
The State owes these bonds to some
one, and the objection which the General
Assembly has hitherto had to the funding
of them has been, it is understood, the
fear that some one might still produce
and present them to the Treasurer. for
funding under the funding Act of the
State, and that the State might In this
way have to pay them twice. This OBJ
lection seems now removed, as no one but
the receiver of the bank has the right to
ask to have them funded, all other per-
sons being now barred by the statutes from
applying to the Treasurer for that purpose.
But however this may be, some action
must now be taken in regard to them.
They can no longer be, carried on the
books of the Treasurer as bonds fundable.
1t rests with the General Assembly to say
what must be done in the matter.
A short time ago l received a commu-
nication from the Secretary of the Treas
ury at Washington calling my attention
to claim of the United States Govern
ment against the State of South Carolina
and an Act of Congress passed March sd,

SINKING FUND.
I beg to direct your attention to the re-
port of the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund from which it appears that the Gu
mulative Phosphate Sinking Fund now
amounts to $347,73I.3S. This shows an
increase of these assets of S5I,125. "a
since the report of last year. Of this
amount 81, I,746.6 IS is derived from interest
and $3e,37e.2Sis is derived from phosphate
royalty during the year. SThe assets of
this fund consist of the following:

The assests of the Ordinary Sinking

decrease of this fund of $2,143.42 since
the last report. This is covered by the
purchase of escheated lands which have
since been sold at a profit but the terms
of sale have not yet been fully complied
with by the, purchaser. The report gives

very satisfactory manner and the finances
of the institution are in a very healty con-
dition. He found it necessary to do much
repairing on the buildings at the institu-
ton and OIL the farm and there is much
more work that is necessary to be.done.
When he took charge there was turned over
to him by his predecessor $II4.35 in cash
and he found it necessary to commence
buying provisions to support the inmates
at once and from March 18th to the ,har-
vesting ofthe new corn crop he was COM
PEELED to buy 1888 bushels Of corn and
meal. 1t does not appear to me to
be good business Judgment, with the
farms that are worked by the State,
to be forced to buys so large quail
tity of corn and meal when they could

l am glad to be able to state that the Su-
perintendent thinks his supply of corn
made during the past year will be sufh-
cient to supply the institution during this
year until the new crop comes in. There
was also large crop Of oats made, some
thing over 4, 600 bushels having been sold.
The Superintendent says: "The year ag-
riculturally las been satisfactory, consid-
ages under which the work was done"
The cotton crop will amount to nearly
six hundred bales.
There has been no serious sickness
amongst the prisoners except few cases
of miningitis, from which there were sew
eral deaths. The Superintendent informs
me that there are several prisoners who
are suffering from consumption and close
confinement only aggravates the disease.

q EDUCATION.
Along with the material progress that
has come to our State there has been
lively interest in the education of our
youth. Not only has this been manifest
in our higher institutions of learning but
thescountry schools and the primary
schooisthroughout the State have been
greatly improved. In almost every incor-
porated town and many of the country
districts the three mill constitutional tax
has been supplemented and the schools
are kept open for the full school year. The
teachers are educated Christian men and
women who have gone out from our COL
leges and training schools fully equipped
for their work. In agovernment like ours
the education of our youth is of para
mount importance. Any legislation that
will foster and encourage our common
schools should receive your hearty ap-
proval and endorsement, for you may fos-
ter and build colleges as you please, the
fact remains that vast majority of our
children can never avail themselves of
collegiate training. If the means are
available it is within the range of posi-
bility for all of them to obtain common
school education, and thus be equipped
for the proper discharge of the duties of
citizenship. Intelligent citizens make
intelligent voters. Educated mothers
rear intelligent citizens. When you put
money in education you invest capital
that will give you ever increasing return
and can neither be lost nor squandered To
secure efficiency i'll our common schools
three things are paramount Importance:
First, you must have the means with
which to operate them. Second, you must
have educated and>Spnsecratcd teachers.
Third, you want Intelligent and efficient
County Superintendent of Education.
Unfortunately with the money which the
State is able to expend for common school
education the average length of the terms
of the public schools where the public
sc!loolt tax is not supplemented is only from
three to four months. 1t is impossible to
secure that efficiency and tlloroughness
which we should have unless the schools
could run longer. The teachers as rule,
are efficient and competent and their pay
is fartoo small for the work they render.
I fear that the parents too often feel when
they have paid their tax that they have
shifted the responsibility for the educa-
ton Of their children from their shoulders
to the State. If the parents could be
made to realize the Importance of this
matter aud their responsibility aud duty

NO TIME LIKE NOW.

The new lines of railroad now in process
of construction by the Chicago & North
western Railway company are at present
affording opportunities to get in and grow
up with a country that is sure to grow,
that are not likely to occur again.
The new lines penetrate the richest
regions in Western Iowa and Minnesota,
where there was ample room for rail-
road. The towns along these new lines,
located and managed by the railway
company, are today offering rare chances

is rich and the towrs will surely thrive.
