Committee on Commerce upon Sena-
tor McComas' bill providing for an

A Suggestion.

1t has been suggested that the genial
and accommodating postmaster have
a couple of benches placed in the ro-
tunda of the postofice for the accom-
mediation of ladies and aged people,
who are obliged to wait for the mail
to be assorted and distributed The
suggestion seems to be a reasonable
one, as the small force of clerks at
the postoftice makes it impossible to
distribute the mail within the limited
hours for opening of the postoffice
after the mails arrive.

Obituary.

Annie Lee, daughter of Mr.. j. B.
Floyd and wife, Mrs. Sallie Floyd,
was born January 5:b, 1899 and
died January 7tb, 1903, making her
age 4 years and 2 days. She was a
bright, happy and loving little child
and is greatly loved by her parents
and other loved ones left behind.
She WAS sick about iour weeks and
Ill that could be done for her COM
fort and recovery was done by her lov
ing parents.
May God comfort them with the
holy spirit and may they be further
comforted with the knowledge that
Jesus said "suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not
for of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven" and may they ever lean on
the strong arms OF Him, who will
sometime call them to the world
beyond to meet little Annie never to
part again.
She will be missed by the Lexing-
ton Baptist Sunday school, of which
she was q member. But she has
gone on to join the angel band and
will ever sing praises to the lamb.
Her little body was laid to rest by
loving friends in the cemetery Of
St. Stephens Evangelical Lutheran
church to await the coming Of her
Saviour King. J. <. s.

stripes, have cot this year almost
double what they have IN previous
yeara, our cash t lance would have
been much larger, and it must be re-
rendered that we have not 80 many
prisoners now as years previous,
therefore our net earnings could not
be 80 great ss heretofore. Agricul-
turally We have been very successful
this year. Our crop OF corn, peas,
wheat, oats. rice, rye, potatoes, cane
and cotton have yielded well, and
We will have q suf6ciency of every
thing, including molasses to supply
the farms, reformstory and peniten-
tiary proper and will have for sale
about 5000 bushels peas, 5000
bushels corn, and 500 tons hay.
By rotating crops as We do, sowing
grain and followingit with peas, broad
cast, the farms are being bought up to
higher state of cultivation each year.
We have done a great deal of work
on dikes around the bottom lands on
the Reed and DeSaussure farms, and
they are in much better shape than
they have ever been before. They have
been made much stronger and many
places much higher and wider.
At the refornstory on Lexington
farm We have 33 boys under 16 years
of age, who are kept employed at all
kinds of farm work. They are guard
ed by man specially appointed for
that purpose. They are kept entirely
to themselves day and night.

Capture Of Reynard.
To the Eiitor of the Dispatch:

Eoclosed I hand you an ear clipped
from one, Mr.. R-ynsrd of the Red"
family spicies, who was captured not
many mornings ago by the venerable
hunter Of Broad River township,
Capt. Geo. T. HaltiwsDger, assisted
by Wash" KeDnerly, of color, whose
cunningness is unsurpassed. About
the dorm of day the sound of Capt
G. T. Haltiwsnger's familiar horn
was heard and not long after the cry
of the majesty of Jumbo, Dewey"
"Butler," WASH" s'Lee" and lii"
were heard making Boyd's old hills
ring with the sweetest music mans
ear can entertain. The race embrse-
ed about (4O) forty ''ahort'' minutes
from the jump to the catch. This
fox WAS male and carried about two
inches of white tail, his color was
beautiful and his cunningness showed
every feature of the fox tribe. Wash
says he has reached the zenith of his
fox hunting career, and can impart
wonderful stories concerning the
chase. While our dear old friend
Capt. Haltiwanger, who is way up
in years of age, but only a young
man in a fox chase, stands erect and
it is perfectly sublime to see him
charging around from hill to hill and
to hear his shrill "holler,' it would
make you inquire what young man is
that any how chasing that old fox
I do not know that the Captain is on
the carpet, but can advise the sweet
fair sex to Set their caps for him,
possibly he might be pursuaded to
take unto him another.
With much success.

MORAL STATEMENT.
The Rev. J. G. Abney, chaplain of
the institution, conducts regular SER
vices each Sabbath morning in the
prison chapel and at the reformstory
in the afternoon. Sunday school ex-
ercises are held in the chapel every
Sunday afternoon, conducted by
Messrs. c. D. Stanley and R. M.
Adam, and We appreciate the fact
that both OF these gentlemen take
great interest in their work. Their
regular attendance is noteworthy and
am sure their teaching is a benefit
to the prisoners.
I respectfully refer you to the
chaplain's report, and take pleasure
in commencing him for the cheerful
and prompt manner in which he dis
charges his duties as chaplain, visit
ing the sick and administering to
their wants spiritually. he has not

HEALTH AND SANITARY STATEMENT.
The general health Of the institu-
ton has been comparatively good.
You will note my reference to the re-
port of DR.. s. e. Harman, the peni-
tentisry physician, that va have bad
As deaths. This record, We think, is
good considering the fact that We
got all the manned, diseased and re.
fused from all che county chain gangs
in the State. Under the law the
county supervisors may take or refuse
all prisoners whose sentence does not
exceed FIVE yesre. Having this privi-
lege they do not, of course, take un'
sound prisoners.
OF the As deaths a large per cent.
was due to pneumonis and to that
dreaded disease, consumption, and l
wish here to call your special atten-
ton to that part of Dr. s. E. Hsrman's
report in which be recommends the
erection of q separate ward for con.
sumptives. The reasons for this are
obvious and I think it would be q
wise expenditure of money to erect
this ward, 30 40 to keep the consump-
tives separate.

the health and sanitary condition Of
the prison I refer you to the report
of DR.. s. E. Hsrmap, penisentiary
physician.
