MARKET NOTES

Western markets had more generous
crops Of hogs yesterday than a week
ago, but the east was moderately sup
piled and shippers and spectators were
active buyers from the start, while
packers bought freely on a strong clos
ing basis, the days average being &c
higher than Wednesday and &c higher
than week ago, although eleven mar
kets have received practically as many
hoes this week as last. Beef cattle
trade showed a recovery of whatever
decline there was effected on Wednes-
day and choice lambs sold strong,
though the general trade in live NUT
tons was not better than steady with
late Wednesday.
At Chicago the supply Of horses this
week has been fully equal to buyers
requirements, but a clearance will be
effected
Trade is none too robust, however,
the constant contention Of distributors
is that cost is excessive and demand
for lower prices refuses to be sub
merged.
Horses with quality and size, full
made expressers and good wagoners in
terest buyers most and sell to best adj
vantage.
Buyers have been numerous this
week, as many Of them being in circu-
lation as could be>expected at this sea-
son, but lew revealed urgent orders
and the majority were looking for bar
gains They are already paying COZ
siderably less money than awhile back
and insist that to handle any consider y
able number their initial investment
must be scaled down even more.
Many horses are now selling $3.50
20 per head less than a while back
and the trade believes they are realizing
fully as much money now as is proba-
BILE during the next six weeks.
Eastern and northern buyers are
complaining Of lack Of demand and
most Of them back away unless con-
cessions are forthcoming.
Market men expect some trade right
along for horses with shape and in
class, but medium and common stuff
is a bad selling proposition.
Receipts so far this week have
totaled 9O5 head, against 7S0 a week
ago and 1874 year ago; Quotations:

ALCAZAR

| Forrest Stanley, who returns to the
| Alcazar theater tomorrow evening as
| Bessie Barrscale's co-star during the
remainder of her season. is well re-
membered by San Francisco's play
patrons as Laurette Taylors leading
man when she was under Belasco &
Mayors management last summer. He
then proved himself an actor richly
endowed with personal magnetism and
histrionic ability.
James Forbes successful American
comedy, The Travelling Salesman
will be the medium of Stanley's re-
appearance in the OFarrell street home
of drama 1t was chosen because it
| enabled him to score an emphatic hit
| in the east and affords Miss Barriscale
almost equal opportunity. Stanley will
| be seen as Bob Blake, a commercial
| tourist, and Miss Barriscale as Beth
Elliott the pretty ticket seller at a
village railroad station in the middle
west.
| When the play opens the villagers
are assembled at the station and Bob
| and Beth are introduced. Their ac-
quaintanceship rapidly ripens and he
learns that she owns a section of ap-
parently worthless land that is to be
| sold for unpaid taxes. Neither is
| aware that the railroad company has
decided to use the property for a spur
| track, but that evening Bob partici-
pates in poker game at the hotel and
| incidentally ascertains that Franklin
Royce, an admirer of Beth. intends to
| buy the realty for his employer, Mar
| tin Drury, a capitalist. Bob precedes
Royce in arriving at the sale and bids
| in the property, and when Royce learns
how he has been "euchred" he endeav-
ors to make Beth believe that Bob
bought the land to sell 1t for his own
profit. There is still, however, a chance
for its recovery, because the tax deed
does not become valid for six months
He then offers $4,000 for REIMBURSEMENT
of her claim. and she is on the point of
accepting when Bob intervenes and
after considerable difficulty, convinces
her that his sole motive in paying the
taxes on the land was to save 1t for
her Thus he thwarts a plot and wins
a wife.
Throughout the play there is abund-
ance of wholesome comedy and dra-
matte action. In the cast with Miss
Barriscale and Stanley are Howard
Hickman and the full strength of the
Alcazar's regular acting corps, includ-
ing Jerome Storm, who is engaged as
light comedian for the season and will
make his first appearance in San Fran

The following letter, which was

j G Mccullough,
Co Supt Ed Wmsburg Co.
Dear Sir
1t is our purpose at Clemson Col
lege to unite our efforts, as far as
possible, with the teachers, students
and officials of all the rural schools
of the State in an effort to improve
the school grounds. Just at this
time we are propagating suitable
plants to be used in identifying the
grounds, which will be sent to such
schools showing an interest in this
work, provided that they will pay
transportation charges, and. as far
as possible, follow our directions in
planting them. We only have a linn
tied number of these plants at pres
ent, but g limited supply will be sent
to schools showing the proper inter-
est. It is our purpose to keep in
touch with these schools and if it be
the desire of the teachers and Off
cials to visit these schools whenever
we can and give them all the assis-
tance we possibly can in the way OF
improving the grounds.
In order that we may come IN
close touch with these schools of
your county am asking you to send
me a list of your teachers and their
addresses, in order that we may COM
municate with them and find out if
they are willing to take up this work,
and if so, what we shall do in the
way of assistance. If you can con-
veniently do so, l should like to re-
ceive these names before first OF
January as it is very necessary to
begin this work at once.
Yours very truly,

REPORT sUPT PENTENTIARY.
Still Some Convicts Left-Fine FL
nanciaI and Sanitary Conditions.

Columbia, January BY reason
of Governor Blease's free use of the
pardoning and paroling power, many
people are under the impression that
the South Carolina State peniten-
tiary is almost depopulated, and yet
in the annual report of Superintend-
ent Griffith of that institution made
public tonight, it is shown that on
December 81 of the year just closed.
761 convicts were confined in the
prison and on the State farms. There
were in prison during last year l ,OO4,
from which five were pardoned. II
paroled, sentence expired, %; es-
capped, Is.
The report shows that the peni-
tentiary closes the year with a cash
balance on hand of $102, ,746.7O, and
ir addition there are accounts due
of IS, 700, and ten bales of long sta
pie upland cotton on hand. The
State farms produced plenty OF corn
and wheat for the convicts and hay
to sell. The cotton crop was not so
good.
The sanitary condition of the pris-
OH is reported to be good, which is
interesting in view of the attacks by
the Governor on the prison hosiery
mill as a tuberculosis incubator"
No reference is made to this matter
by the report of the superintendent.
Of the State reformatory at Lex
ington, the report says: We have
been able to run an 18-horse farm
with six adult prisoners, the balance
of the work being done by the re-.
formatory boys"
The boys are taught cleanliness
and how to prepare and cultivate
land, are required to study the Cat
echism and other Sunday-school lit
erature. The prison chaplain is the
Rev ] C Abney. Services are held
in the prison chapel each Sunday
morning and also at the Lexington
reformatory each Sunday afternoon.
The chaplain breaches to :the con-
victs on the State farm one Sunday
in each month. Thirty-three con-
victs are furnished Clemson College.
for which pay is received, and a de-
tail of five keeps the State House
