and Farmers Happy.
The Virginia peanut market shows
q phenomenal advance. The price OF
the prime product in eastern Virginia

dollars. There is no specific reason
for the increase, but the peanut men

Two Pardons Issued.

The governor has pardoned Henry
Williams, white, of Charleston, who
was convicted of burglary and larceny
and sentenced to serve six years In thA
penitentiary. He has been in the in
stitution five years and two months.
Ex-Solicitor Jervey recommends the
pardon, saying that the ends of justice
had been met by the imprisonment al"
ready served. Williams himself de.
sires among other things that his citi-
zenship be restored. Some friends in
Charleston interested themselves in
his behalf and signed the petition for
pardon.
A pardon was also granted to John
Ross, white, of Spartanburg, who WAS
convicted of violating the dispensary
law. He is an old man, has hereto
fore borne better character and in
addition his family suffers from sick
ness and he was its support.
Report on Dispensary.
Chairman Williams, as the commit
tee of one designated for that pur-
pose, has completed the annual re-
port of the state board Of dispensary
directors to the general assembly,
through the governor. 1t is as fol-
lows:
To His Excellency, NJ. B. Nc
Sweeney, Governor of South Carolina:
We are pleased to have the honor to
submit to you, and through you to
the general assembly, our report OF
the financial transactions of the dis
pensary for the fiscal year commenc-
ing January l, 1899, and ending No.
vember 80, 1900, period covering
eleven months.
Yor will see, by examination of the
data hereto attached, that our total
purchases amounted to 81, ,460, 236. 7S,
and that our total gross sales for the
eleven months were 81, 421, ,840.22.
The total net profits to the state on
account of the school fund are $176,
O12.l8. The total net profits to the
counties and towns are $298, ,166. %,
making q total net profit to the towns,
counties and school fund, $473, 178. 46.
The latest dispensary act, approved
February 19, 1900, made our fiscal
year close on November 80, which
mekes it necessary that this report
only covers eleven months; but should
we consider December also, and reck.
on whole year, you will find that the
total let earnings are, for twelve
months, $566, ,000.79, which is an in
crease of 152.6S6.95.
We do not attribute this phenomenal
I increase in earnings to any increase in
consumption of liquors, but think thai
better feeling towards the dispensary
law has turned the trade to the dispen'
saries. Respectfully submitted.

Guarding Against scalpers.

As a measure for the protection OF
the railroads during the holding Of
the exposition, the city. council OF
Charleston has adopted bill to pro-
hibit indiscriminate ticket scalping.
The bill fixes an annual license Of
S2CO for the brokers and adds heavy
penalties for persons selling without
license. During the consideration OF
the bill Alderman Gadsden read
letter from the president of railroad
in which the statement was made that
better rates would be allowed for the
exposition if the city provided proper
protection against the army of scalp
ers.
Many Students Pay Their Way.
A quiet canvass among the students
of the South Carolina college has
brought out the following interesting
misunderstanding especially be-
cause they show that the statement 80
often made that at southern colleges
BOYS seldom work their way is mis-
take, at least so far az this institution
is concerned. And it may be said
that the number of young men who
bear their own expenses in whole or
in part at our southern colleges and
institutions is larger than the authori-
ties themselves are aware. The stu
dents modesty, or his pride, will not
permit him to talk OF his private at
fairs, and he does not always give this
piece of confidence to his most init
mate friends.
At the South Carolina college there
are thirty.two students, emitting GER
tain teachers taking special courses,
who are in whole or in part paying
their own expenses-about one 10
every seven. There are twelve who
pav everything and twenty who bear
part Of the burden.
OF the twelve is one who has farm
ed. run the surveyors compass and
raised and lowered the nag over the
state house during the session OF the
legislature. A few taught for a start
in the public schools, and continued
to teach during the summer months.
One student has made his expense
in part by his knowledge OF stenog-
raphy and typewriting.' Another re-
mains out of college for year to
clerk in q mercantile establishment,
that he may return. A few made
something last summer by acting as
takers of census. During their course
in college one man sells wood and
coal, q second keeps for sale supply
of stationery, third tutors and .

fourth has acted as engrossing clerk at
