OUR STATE PRISON.
There. are Over 700 Convicts at the
Institution--Other Facts.
columbia State.)

columbia State.)
How many prisoners are there at
the South Carolina State peniten-
tiary? asked citizen the other day.
None in the crowd could answer and
the following information has been
secured from the penitentiary man
agement:
There arc about TOO convicts in the
prison, inclusive of the 80 juvenile
prisoners at the reformatory farm in
Lexington county. About one-third
or the prisoners, except those in the
hospitals, are used on the farms, the
remainder in the hosiery mills or as
helpers about the prison. Tho
grounds of the penitentiary cover
about ten acres. ff'''a
The first buildings of the prison
were erected during the Recopstruc-
ton period, about 1868, hut, owing
to their uninhabltable condition, have
since been abandoned, and In 1901
one of the buildings was remodeled
into its present form, which makes It
one OF the most modern and most
sanitary prisons in the United States.
Under the management Of the Su-
pertntendent, Capt. d. J. Griffith, dur
Ing the past eight years, the institu-
ton has not only been self-sustaining
but out Of its income there have been
erected new administration and pris-
OH buildings, costing $4,000.
There has also been built a modern
tuberculosis hospital, costing $751;
600, and there has been an expendi-
ture of $4,000 in improving the old
farms and purchasing new farming
lands for the penitentiary. In ad-
dition to these amounts there has
been paid into the State Treasury d
surplus Of $4,000. The penitentiary
also furnishes Clemson College with
about 33 convicts per year, and feeds
and clothes these and the convicts are
sometimes loaned to institutions by
Act of the Legislature for other spe-
cial purposes.

Mr.. Brown, a farmer living In
Boone county, Mo-, decided to buy q
spring wagon The next time he was
in town he went to the local dealer
to see what he had in stock. One
wagon that suited him was offered to
him at SIS. He thought he would
take 1t, but before ordering he looked
over a mail order vehicle catalogue.
Here he saw described a wagon which,
as far as description went, was the
same as the one he saw In the deal
er's store room. In fact, the descrip-
tion was written in such a convinc-
ing manner and all of the good points
OF the mail order vehicle were brought
out SO thoroughly that 1t appeared to
be superior to the other one. And the
price was only $67.45. Mr.. Brown
thought of the saving OF $7.55 which
represented several days OF hard work.
The more he thought about 1t the
more he wanted to save that amount
and in the end the Chicago mail or
der concern got his check.
When the wagon finally arrived,
with freight bill of $3.50, he rode to
town with his son and spent half q
day putting 1t together. He had to
buy screw driver and some oil and
sand paper and q few bolts to replace
some that had been lost In shipment.

Out that as the amount of the mail or.

All of these cost him rs cents. He
was not experienced at putting spring
wagons together and he didn't do a
very good Job of 1t, for one OF the
seats refused to sit in the right place
and he had to get local blacksmith
to help him fix 1t. This cost him
another half dollar and delayed him
SO much that he and the boy had to
go to the hotel for their dinners; an
additional expense of 70 cents. So
before he got his team hitched to the
wagon 1t cost him 1880. allowing him
a saving Of $1.10. which was very
stingy pay for the time he had lost.
OF the amount he spent for the wagon,
only $1.s5 remained in Boone county.
The railroads and the mail order
house got the rest Of 1t.
In the meantime his neighbor, Mr.
Jones, bought the $75 wagon from the
local dealer. who made profit Of
SIG on the sale. As the vehicle was
already assembled and there were no
extra parts or tools to buy, the amount
paid for the wagon represented all Of
the cost to Mr.. Jones. The dealer
spent the SIS profit for new sign on
his building; the sign painter hired a
carpenter to repair the roof on his
house; the carpenter paid his bill at
the butchers and the butcher bought
a hog from Mr.. Jones. And SO the
SIG kept going in the county until a
farmer with the mail order habit got
hold Of it. He sent it to Chicago and
it never came back.
But this wasn't the last Of the two
purchases. A few weeks after the
two wagons were bought, Mr.. Browns
boy and Mr.. Jones' boy. driving the
new vehicles, met on the country road.
They drove too close to each other
and a smash-up resulted. The weak
est part of each wagon gave way; an
axle on the mail order product was
broken and a doubletree on the other
was smashed. Both breaks were plain
ly because of defective construction.
Mr.. Jones took his broken doubletree
to town the next day and the dealer
gave him a new one. Mr.. Brown at
tempted to explain to the Chicago firm
that the axle would not have broken
II 1t had not been defective and
coupled this explanation with a re-
quest for new part. but after several
weeks of correspondence with the
piece as far away as at the begin
ming. he gave it up and bought the
axle himself This experience told
Mr.. Brown why he should trade with
hone merchants instead of patroniz-
ng the mail order houses.

county there are many who send thou

this, variety Of by-products, such as

that. And the small saving he Is able
to make by large purchases is more
than Offset by his larger expenses.
These expenses must come out of the
purchaser SO the mail order man is
compelled to make larger profit than
the local dealer 1t costs him more to
market his goods. He must maintain
large and expensive ONCE force and
he must advertise. AS an example
OF what the mail order man expects
to make out of his customers, a letter
written by a prominent mail order
man might be quoted. Writing to q
magazine he said: Advertising ia
your publication cost us II cents an
inquiry and we made sales at a cost
of only Sc cents each for advertising.
This is about half of our regular cost" /"
This man was selling "A complete out.
fit Of clothes for 1896" He was will
ing to pay dollar for each sale the
advertising brought him. Ask your
local dealer how long he could keep
the sheriff away from his doors II he
took a dollar out Of every ten dollar
sale.
You cant buy the same class Of
goods any cheaper from the catalogue
houses than from the local dealer,
though one may think he can after
reading the catalogues. The differ
ence comes in the quality OF the goods.
There is particular class of goods
known as mail order goods" This
trade term is applied to cheap but
snowy goods and novelties which can
be sold at large profit. 1t means
much the same thing as street fakir
goods" and, as is the case with street
fakir goods, mail order goods are not
handled by the regular jobbers and
wholesalers. They cannot afford to
handle them because their customers
want better merchandise. The street
fakir duplicates. in appearance. the
jewelry carried by a first class jew
elry house and makes large profits.
The catalogue merchant does the
same thing but does 1t on larger
scale and much more cleverly.
