Neal's Penance.
It is reported from Columbia
that Col. \Y. A. Neal, former
superintendent of the State penis
tentiarv is prepared to restore to |
the State the anount ho has |
abstracted from its coffers by J
means of the "shortage in account''
system. The restoration,
J however, will bo made only 011
(condition that the State agrees
not to prosecute the offender for
his misdoings.
It is to be hoped that the State
officials will make a very positive
and emphatic refusal to compromise
with Neal. The man is
guilty of gross malfeasance in of
tioo and should be prosecuted i
vigorously in an effort to secure j
for him the heaviest, nonishnwnt I
the law provides. The amount
of his shortage is considerable and
the State should recover it if
possible, but it would be far bet- i
ter to lose the sum of Meal's
peculations many times over than
to make a compromise with his
criminality. Moreover the crimi- j
nal prosecution will not prevent '
I recovery of the State's money bv
civil process. Neal should bo
: forced to repay the amount lie has ,
taken from the State and should !
: .1
lie punished besides. It is important
that an example should bo '
made of these easy eonscietieed
folks who rob the Stale and seek
easy absolution. The plea of j
"error in bookkeeping" is put j
forward with a jaunty air and is
often accepted with apologies for
unjust suspicions. Neal hopes
that such a condition may obtain
in his case and that he may go j
free and perhaps mount high in
the State's councils in the future.
Ncal's misdoings make a
flagrant case and a s vere punishment
should be given to him. A
good round sentence against him
would insure better book keep ing
in the State's department-: hereafter.

That is the question.
Is it pure blood or impure
I blood?
If the blood is impure then
you are weak and languid;
your appetite is poor and your
digestion is weak. You cannot
sleep well and the morning
finds you unprepared for
the work of the day. Your
cheeks are pale and your complexion
is sallow. You arc A

or some eruption of the skin. \g
Why not purify your blood ? V

I feel the difference. It is

The Ivey-Stradley Affair.
In the last issue we published
an account of the cowhiding of
,J I) Strndley of Greenville by
.1 Morrow lvey of Rock Ilill.
Strndley has since published a
enid in the Greenville News in
which he claims that the Ivriys
resorted to dishonorable means to
got him on the street. He denies
mistreating his family, and claims
that he had accepted a position
that would utTord a support. Following
is the last part of the
card:
I believe that tie statement of
the Iveys that they had no weapon
is a lie, because during the attack
Frank lvey stood with his right
hand in his coat pocket in such a
way as to indicate that he had
that hand on a pistol ready to
shoot me in tho back should I at
tempt a resistance. 1 denounce
their statement that I had ill
treated my wife as a malicious lie,
and am willing t<> meet either one
of the Iveys on whatever terms
Ue nmy ntiiuc, to give him satisfaction
for the application of this
epithet. Circumstances, which
would lie tedious to relate, pre*
vented niy attacking the Iveys on
Friday. For this failure I have
tio apologies to make. I can he
found in Greenville until Wednesday.
Captain Samuel Stradley father
j of d I) Stradley, also publishes a
card, as follows:
The cowhiding atl'air mentioned
in your issue of this morning gives
I me much grief. I know nothing
i of the cause <d' the trouble, hut I
must say it was a most unmanly
and cowardly act, for two stout,
i robust young men to attack in so
1 dastardly a manner a sickly,
delicate upm, knowing him to he
unprotected. And for such, I
hrand them as cowards, and if for
saying so, they\ should attempt
any such tactics onVme they will ?
meet their just rewoVd.
