Would Change Name.

Strengthening of the penal code under
which the workhouse is operating is nee
essary, declares Mr.. Whitaker. and,
should any of the recommendations urged
be adopted, he suggests that the name of
the institution be changed to the District of
Columbia farm.
The system at present provides healthy
and practical employment for the prison
ers during the time they are serving sem
tence, but there are two very important
amendments to the law necessary before
beneficial and lasting results to the in
mates and society can be accomplished,
states the report.

Costs $4e,419.so for Year.

The financial report of Mr.. Whitaker
shows that the institution earned
through the labor of prisoners and by
sale Of farm products during the past
fiscal year $1O3.O98. while it's total ex-
penditures amounted to S152.517.S 80,
leaving net annual cost to the Dis
trict of 49,419.8O.
I'm view of the fact" states the
superintendent, that it cost more than
100000 annually to keep the prison
population in idleness in the old work.
house in Washington. the results OBJ
tanned last year made splendid show
ing for the new plan of operation, and
is evidence that in a few years this
institution should be more than self
supporting"

Remain Under Supervision.

80. Let the law provide that before the
prisoner is released upon parole a posi-
ton be provided for him for at least
six months, during which time he would
be under the supervision of an officer
of the institution. to see that he honestly
and faithfully performed the labor that
he agreed to do at the time he is re-
leased on parole. and also to see that
the employer gives the man a square
deal Let the law further provide that
should the prisoner violate any Of the
terms and conditions of his parole. he
can be returned to the institution with
out cost to the taxpayers, to serve part
or all of his unexpired sentence.

Fixed Sentences Cause Crime.

First. A fixed sentence, such as the
courts are now comp elled to give to those
who violate the law. and especially those
who have short terms, such fifteen
and thirty days, is the cause of much
of the crime and vagrancy committed in
the District. l recommend that the
criminal code be so amended that pris-
Oners committed to the wOrkhouse be
sentenced for a period of not less than
thirty days nor more than two years, the
time of the release to be vested in the
Commissioners of the District, depending
upon the ability of the prisoner to main
tain himself as self-supporting and law
abiding citizen.

OYSTERMEN NEARLY PERISH
New Jersey Dredge flames Thomas"
Wrecked OFF Mahon's Light House
The Crew IN Sad Distress

ne Crew IN Sad Distress
A story of 36-ton oyster boat
wrecked on a shoal in the Delaware
Bay, six miles from Mahon's Light
house, with its crew at the mercy
of the heavy wind and freezing
weather fer fifty hours, thirty of
which were spent in the rigging of
the wrecked vessel was received at
Dover Monday. 1t is reported that
other boats passed within a quarter
of a mile of the wrecked vessel,
with it's distress signal flying and
yet no effort was made to relieve
the distressed sailors. The wreck
boat, an oyster dredge, James Thorn
as, owned by Howard Sockwell, of
Port Norris. N. j., and was mann
ed by Captain Thomas Morris and
three others, James Burns, Thomas
Morris Jr,., and Mr.. Butcher. The
boat struck the shoal of Mahon's
Thursday night, and soon it became
evident that something would have
to be done to save them from a
watery grave. They at once dis
played their distress signals, which
were in tull view all Of Friday.
The signals, however, were not
needed and not until late Saturday
night, between and o'clock were
the men rescued in a half frozen
and starved condition, by the oyster
watch boat at Bowers Beach, the
Protector. The oyster boat, Annie
Frome, sighted the wrecked boat
Thomas, but as it was also disabled,
it could render no assistance. 1t
reached the State watch boat, S.
S. PennewiIl, to whom it told the
story of distress of the Thomas, and
certain >oystermen at Mahons' offer
ed to assist in manning the State
boat to go to the assistance of the
crew on the Thomas. The crew OF
the wrecked Thomas declared Mon
day that had they been compelled
to remain on the boat few hours
longer, they would have perished,
as they were becoming numbed and
chilled through and through. A
rigid Investigation will be made and
a full report made to the inspector
of tho lighthouse at Mahon's.

The Earth Ouaked.

At $50 o'clock this morning,
about the time that the sun had
perched itself upon Mr.. Nicholson's s
barn, an earthquake occurred in
Edgefeld. The shock was felt so
perceptibly by SO many people that
there is no doubt that the erstwhile
terra firma underwent for the time
some kind Of convulsion. One
young lady, either by fright or by
the quake, was almost thrown out
of bed and MIR. Joe Eve Minis said
the floor of his domicile trembled
oHvibrated or oscillated or scintillat-
ed or prevaricated or otherwise be-

Top-Dressing.

Results obtained at the South
Carolina Experiment ssStation show
that top-dressing with nitrate of
soda gives good results on cotton,
corn and small grains. The in
crease is most marked during wet
year because this nitrogen is already
in an Immediately available form,
while The rotting of the organic
sources does not proceed as rapidly
as usual on account of the excess of
moisture in the soil. The amount
to apply per acre varies with the
fertility of the soil and the previ-
Gus fertilization, but we would sug-
gest from fifty pounds per acre on
poor land up, according to the fer
tility of the soil.
Early applications are coming in
to favor. We recommend that the
soda be applied to corn when it is
between knee and waist high, to
cotton just as the shapes begin to
form, and to small grain in March.
Care should be taken not to SOW nj
trate of soda on wet plants, because
it is likely to scald them. 1t is
best to apply it just after rain,
when the moisture has dried off of
the leaves of the plants, then culti-
vate with a mulch forming imple-
ment as soon as the ground is dry
enough to plow.
