Th -.7?!!:??, passed th?) convicts Thursday while they were at work on the Ab beville road nea;* the late home of Capt T. C. Morgan, twelve miles above Edgefield. Capt. Sawyer and two guards were in charge of the 33 convicts, some of whom are hired from the state. With two wagons hauling stone to fill the holes and low places, with r;he heavy road plow drawn by six mules, and. the road machine likewise drawn by six heavy mules, Capt. Sawyer is enabled to cover a consider ibl? distance every day. While it is true that the pres ent system has cost the county a very large amount of money, possibly more at times than it should, yet' we believe that the convict sys tem is the best way to keep up the roads. The thorough work that the chaingang is nov.- doing and the gen erally improved condition of the hundreds of miles of public roads will bear out this statement. We believe that Supervisor Moultrie will by an economic administration of the affairs of hin office reduce the. cost of maintaining the road work ing force to a minimum/ Senseless Billet Doux.

Graduates of the Citadel are bal loting by mail on the proposal for changing the title of the State's mil itary college. At the recent annual session of the alumni, as related at the time in The Evening Post, this matter was discussed with keen in terest, the sense of the gathering fa voring the chantre proposed by Col. Bond, superintendent of The Citadel and president of the alumni body. In the current issue of The Bulletin, the official organ of the alumni, Col. Bond has contributed an article in which he cites his reasons for advo cating the change.' It has been shown that the origi nal title of the institution was the Citadel, acts of the legislature show ing this definitely. Prior to the war between the states graduates' diplo mas showed that fchey had completed courses at the Citadel. After the reorganization in 1882 the title of South Carolina Military Academy came into use, though the distinctive title of the Citadel has been the more popular. Col. Bond makes a con vincing argument in favor of. the change to."The Citadel, the Military College of South Oarolina,"and cites strong evidence ia his support. Secretary Moore, of the Alumni, is not prepared at this time to discuss the progress of the balloting. He has sent postal cards to every alum nus whose address is on record and expects to hear from hundreds with in the next few weeks. Mr. Moore asks the graduates to vote on three different titles, "South Carolina Mil itary Academy, The Citadel, Found ed by General Assembly 1842"; South Carolina ' Military College, The Citadel, Founded by General Assembly 1842", and "The Citadel, the Military College of . South Caro lina, Founded by General Assembly 1842," It is believed that the last named title will be favored by a majority of the alumni. If this be the result the alumni will prepare a memorial to the'Legislature advocating the change. The Legislature will also be appealed to through the faculty and board of visitors, at the request of the graduates. -Charleston Post.
