came over from Columbia Sunday
and put it in running order, then
run it for some time in order to have

is one of the best watering places
between Columbia and Augusta.
The rural carriers deserve much
praise for their faithfulness during

A Card.
The following card explains itself:
To Cot Griffith, State Penitentiary,
Columbia, C. C.
Dear Sir: At the monthly meeting
of the Board of Regents of this
institution on the 1st inet, the following
resolutions were unanimously
passed:
That upon the invitation kindly
extended this Board and its officers
by Col. Griffith, Superintendent of
the State penitentiary, to visit the
State farms, located in Sumter and
Kershaw counties, those of us who
could availed ourselves of this opportunity
on the Stb and 9th inst.
Resolved, that the thanks of this
entire Board be, and hereby are, extended
to both Col. Griffith and his
efficient assistants on account of
courtesies shown us on the occasion
of our visit.
We found the magnificent property
under crops that indicated that they
had received the benefits of intensive
preparation and cultivation, which,
i under this most efficient manage
ment, bad resalted in thousands of
acres of corn, cotton, peas, sorghum
and potatoes that were a marvel to
look upon. The droves of brood
mares, mule colts, improved cattle
aod the hogs being raised upon these
farms also particularly attracted our
attention and admiration.
After seeing all these evidences of
profit to be derived from this property
to help the State in the support
of its convicts we would deem it the
height of unwisdom for the citizens
of this State to ever consent that this
most valuable property be sold.
