prison.
The ratio of convicts in 1890 was
/ 10 1850 of population; in 1900, |
to each 2,O1S of population. These

however, for the reason that they are
made to apply 10 the whole state
whereas the bulk OF the convict pop
ulation from few counties.
OF the I'll state convicts commit.
ted during this biennial period, 3 vera
committed for arson, 80 FOR burglary,

against a total Of 4t3 from the other
fifty counties of the stale.
The counties Of Barbour. poddridge,

SPECIAL ELECTION
MAY BE CALLED
TO FILL VACANCY IN STATE SEN
ATE CAUSED BY SENATOR
PoRTER's DEATH.

CHARLESTON Dec. 94.-As yet
Governor Dawson has not issued his
proclamation for II special election in
the Fifth senatorial district to fill the
vacancy caused by the recent death
Of Senator !. ID, Porter. Under the

time and there is no specific limit as
10 the length of notice to be given. 1t

ing OF the Legislature on January 8. 1t
Is likely that Governor Dawson viii!

HEALTH MORE VALUABLE
THAN GREAT WEALTH
The Road TO Success Has Been Discovered
by New Plan.

Good health is at the foundation Of busi-
meas SUCCESS and personal happiness Meni
and women too, for that matter, IN this
ace of feyerish business and social activity
are too apt to neglect the thing that brings
and preserves good health.
Ii Is almost needless TO state that good
digestion Ia the basis OF good health ana
that good teeth are essential TO good digea-
tion. ID therefore becomes a matter OF
uermanent importance to everybody that
the teeth be preserved.
There IL no excuse for bad teeth n people
will only act in time and have their teeth
looked after regularly. That Is the object
of the "New Method Dental farlora at
eiOik Market street. For one dollar year
thev Keen the teeth of any client in perfect
condition. They use only the most up-to-
date scientific dental methods ana place
them at the disposal OF everyone
Ii Ia simply teeth insurance-the same as
vou would insure your house. One dollar
year is a trihing investment compared 10
the amount of service and benefit the client
derives.
The best service is given, absolutely pain
less. by the use Of a new anesthetic ior
| extracting purposes, far superior TO gas. II
ms tbe advantage Of leaving no unpleasant
| after effects and also causes no sunocatinR
