THE GOVERNOR DID RIGHT.

The removal of the prisoners
from Florence to the penitentiary
upon the order Of the governor
has given offense to some Of the
newspapers, especially The Flor,
ence Times, whose editor is not
TOO friendly with the governor
anyway. tits to be presumed that
Governor Blease had informa-
ton which caused him to act,
whether his information was well
founded or not, the moment he
heard that it would not be safe
for the prisoners in the Florence
iail it was his duty to protect
them the best he could: the order
ing them to the State prison was
therefore the proper thing for
him to do, and in so doing, 1t
should not be construed as a re.
tiection upon the law officers at
Florence. Governor Blease
could not afford to take the
chances, as past experience has
proven. We recall a case IN the
county Of Lexington some years
ago. along about 1873, on per
haps it was before then: John
Peter Richardson was the gov
ernor, there was a prisoner in

HUMANITY sUsrAlNy THE GOVERNOR.

The State Board Of Health has
made p most startling report to
the penitentiary board Of direct
ors: this body of doctors claim
that out of a sample lot OF 10
prisoners only 20 are free from
that dreadful disease tubercu-
losis. When the general assem-.
bly, was last in session Governor
Blease directed attention to this
institution aud asked that it be
investigated; his enemies crltl-
cized him for trying to create a
sensation, and even some OF his
friends thoughtit was a needless
expense to Investigate a State
institution upon mere rumor, Tor
that was about what the gov
ernor said his message to the
legislature was based on. The
investigation was ordered, with
the result that we find a condi-
ton at the hosiery factory, where
life-termers are usually put, that
is a disgrace to humanity; % out
of 70 free from the great white
plague. The board in It's report
saws a number Of things about
the prison. Among them they
recommend as follows:
Female prison should be condemned
and destroyed.
Toilets should be placed outside cell
buildings.
Bedding should be kept clean.
Defective floors should be repaired.
Only one prisoner should sleep IN a
cell.

them. They cannot take labor

in South Carolina were alone n
this merger the News and Cou-
rier's argument would have
some force but when it is known
that Dukes and his syndicates is
not organizing the mills Of this
State alone. but has reached out
into North Carolina and else
where, and with probable un-

the creature eluded his pursuers

We mention these two incidents
to show the unreasonableness OF
critics in condemning an officer
when he does conscientious duty.
The case of the two Florence prls-

preme court; they had been con-
victed for the murder OF a proml-

the jury making a recommenda,

there was some doubt in their
minds, because, from our recol-
lection of the Moye murder it
was a most atrocious one, and
there was no possible mitigation
for the crime: tie dead man had

poses to take in case both OF

Parker, the News and Courier
so hurriedly comes to the
defence Of the great syndl-
cate which is organizing these
cotton mill mergers; it fears that
if the idea gets abroad that this
combination will operate, as many
think it must, against the peo
pies interests it will injure the
chances Of Mr.. Parker for the
Senate. All this argument that
is being used that that the mill
merger is for the purpose OF
being independent of the selling
agents in New York who have
been requiring q heavy toll from
the mills, and to put the mills III

easily is no doubt satisfactory to
the financial mgnates, but the
masses have been the victims OF
such arguments before only to
find themselves tied hand and foot

mills go into this proposed mer.

pressed recently by that official
relating to the merger Of the
cotton mills, and it intimates
that His Excellency in giving
expression to his views was sim

It so happens that the governor
is not alone in the opinion that

Style of Hairdressing
Is Becoming Simpler

Early in the season word went
forth that we were to wear our
own hair only-our own. unadorned by
curl or pun or switch CLEANED from the
head OF some poor peasant girl in far
away lands across the seas. Despite
the fact that the word has gone forth,
visit to the hair goods department or
to any of the fashionable hairdressers,
fails to disclose any decrease in the &C
cessories that go TO make milady's head
look like an advertisement for a popu-
lar hair tonic. They are all there done
up in new and startling guises-the puff,
the curl, the psyche and the switch
and their new spring styles of coiling
and swirling are distinct. chic as well
as artistic.
One of the prettiest styles is that
where the hair Is twisted about the
head In two soft rope twists and the
back a mass of loose puffs. No rat Is
worn with this form of dressing, and
the effect is extremely graceful.
All manner of pretty bandeaux are
shown for the spring coiffure. When
becoming they are extremely smart, but
too often they are pinned on at the
eleventh hour without thought of SYM
metry or preserving the lines of the
face and coiffure.
The high coiffure that has been out
of fashion for so many years seems to
be coming back into favor again.
Speaking of false hair. one might
mention the newest braid known as the
psyche basket braid. This is formed of
five loose strands, with one large puff
in the center and a bunch of tiny curls
at each end. This may be adjusted at
moments notice and is. very pretty
besides.
The new fashion of parting the hair
is dainty and girlish. A charming way
is to part in the center, draw II down
on both sides, then fold over and loop
back into a bunch of puffs that cover
the back of the head.
The girl who goes in for plainness and
who wishes to dispense with extra hair
during the warm weather will try the
new Dutch knots. For this style the
hair is parted and drawn rather low
over the ears, plan or marcelled, ac-
eording to taste. The hair Is separated
into two strands and wound into knots,
one behind each ear. A braid may be
worn across the front.

He raised the window very carefully
and put his basket on the sill; then
he jumped up and looked In.

boiler filed with Mr.. Pigs soup, so
that Mr.. Possum landed first IN the
soup. and. jumping out of that. he
upset a pan Of milk.
The pans clattered as Mr.. Possum
slid along the floor trying to get upon

up he jumped and listened.
"Somebody is in the pantry" he
said, running to see II Mr.. Pig was in
bed, but the loud snoring which came
from his room convinced Mr.. Dog that
he was not the thief.
As Mr.. Dog ran through the kitchen
Madam Hen and Madam Goose were
coming down the stairs. Madam Hen
carried a candle. while Madam Goose
carried a stick of wood under her

she asked in a loud whisper, Who's
