HOSIERY MILL MATTER
ro Consider Further An- f
nulling of Contract.
Columbia, June 18.?Speeial:Wedis
the day set for the special meeting
_ o
Df the State board of Penitentiary ci- j
rectory at which time the details of ?
a
the annulling of the hosiery mill contract
will be arranged, according to ^
schedule. e
Following a recent meeting of the c
board, at which the agreement was j
reached that the hosiery miil be abol- v
ishcd, it was announced that at the [ t
3pecial session on the 21st, the method j,
cf procedure would be outlined and ^
the matter taken up with Capt. John I,
M. Graham, who has the contract | 0
with the Penitentiary directors in the j t
matter of the labor in the hosiery mill.
Nothing that has come up in recent
months lias created so much comment,
as the hosiery mill abolishment. The
State board of health's report, coming r
after Governor Blease had asked for k
an investigation and the same time o
had been directed by the Legislature, s
stirred the state as to this form of la- t
bor and at the meeting of the board v
of directors it was decided to adopt <2
the state board of health's recommen- r
elation s.
What to do with the convicts has F
e
been generally discussed in this state. K
There are abont 800 workers in the *
hosiery mill and it will be quite a task D
b) give them outdoor work. Most pa- ^
pers have favored the work on the c
3hain gangs. This will be impossible ^
svith some of the dangerous prisoners. 0
Safe-blowers and murderers work side P
by side in this mill and there is here ^
" ' f
the worst element of the state's criminals.
In the list of suggestions is that of

5f those in the hosiery mill will not be
ible to be placed on the farms of the
Penitentiary. 11
The board of Penitentiary direc- ?
:ors has made no official announce- 11
nenfc of what form of work will be c
;iven the men and women of the ho9i- n
?ry mill. Chairman Sanders, being ?
isked by the News and Courier coire- 11
spondent for a suggestion along this P
line, replied that this would be work- 9
3d out at the me eting here and in ad- ^
pance he did not care to make any
statement for publication. P
There are other suggestions of the P
state board of health to be considered e
it this meeting of rhe board.

key stiil in Cougaree swamp, about 3
mile9 from Dixiana, in this county
The still was one of the most un que, ^
the sheriff says, that he ha9 ever seen.
Ig was made of an unusually large ^
wa9h pot, with a wooden cap bound ^
with copper. The still was in operation,
being filled with corn mash. The
sntire charge was destroyed, the still
thrown into the creek and the other I
apparatus destroyed. t
Tne still was located in the middle t
Df the swamp, about one-half mile v
from the edge, and it was with diffi- 1
culty that toe snernr reacnea me spot e
bo which he was attracted by a dim I
light in the distance. When the sher- v
iff drew near the men, who, the sheriff a
thinks numbered three or four, they h
made their escape in the darkness and v
no glimpse was had of them. During a
Lhe last few months Sheriff Corley has g
been vigilant in his efforts to put down ^
Lhe illicit sale of whisky and he has c
succeeded in large measure.

We are reliably informed that the t
County Treasurer is now, or will be j
soon prepared to cancel the remainder t
cf the bonded indebtedness of the ^
townships in the Dutch Fork. It ie
certainly fortunate for the people of \
that section to be rid of a burden they
have been carrying for years. Not all
cf our people labor under such taxation,
and we congratulate our friends
of the Fork that tliey^iave done this
with very little murmuring. Sticking
tightly and saying nothing is one of
the best ways out of a bad bargain.
DEMONSTRATORS
AT LEXINGTON.
lundreds Hear Experts on ClemsonWinthrop
Train.
Between four and five hundred people
ittended the Clemson-Winthrop Uoiege
demonstrations here on Friday,
nd every one of them went away
inging the praises of these instituions,
the pride of South Carolinians
verywhere. The special train of seven
ars arrived from Batesburg this mornn.g
at 6 o'olocK, and a warm welcome
ras extended from the minute the
rain arrived until its departure for Coumbia
this afternoon, where the exierts
will hold sway to-morrow.
A barbecue was served the members
f the party by J. S. Bowell, agent of
he Southern Railway, which the party
eemed to enjoy to the fullest extent.
NOT TO BENEFIT COLLEGES.
In outlining the work in his opening
emaibs. Prof. D. N. Barrow made it
mown that the train was not being
iDerated for the benefit of either Clem
on or Winthrop College, but to show J
o the people of the rural communities
chat the State of South Carolina is
oing to advance agriculture and the
aisiug of better live stock.
Clemson i9 represented on this ex edition
by the best experts in the
Itate, men who know what they are
alking about from actual experience;
aen who make it so plain in their
emonstrations that any 10-year old
hild might understand the good and
ad points in live stock. The grades
f cattle are 9hown. The dairy, com>09ed
of the Jersey, the red pole, as
he medium class for home use, and
he Holstein. The beef type is com
?09ed of the Hereford and the Pole
ingU9. This part of the demonstra

AS TO STOCK RAISING.
Two of the finest mares, representng
the best type for breeding purposes
ver brought to the State are shown
a the exhibit. Dr Barnett, who is in
barge of the horses, pointed out the
ecessity of the farmers raising their
wn mules and horses instead of buyag
them from the West. This vital
oint is being pushed by the demontrators,
perhaps, more than any otfur
eature.
Exhibits of insects affecting corn
ilants, showing the life history of the
'ants, together with the treatment,
te, attr eted much attention. Pre f

a 'mer's library and in one car is found
, large collection of book9 of vital inerest
to farmers. Farmers, as a rule,
ays Dr Barrow, have 110 library, while
very other professional man ha3 his
ibrary.
Mr Napier gave a lecture on seed
orn, selection etc, Two types of hogs
re shown and they are among the
inest ever seen in the State. A Tamirorth,
one of the largest breeds
mown, is 45 inches fall, and though in
le9h, tips the scales at 050 pounds.
LADLES VISIT WDNTHUUr V-aiv.
The Winthrop car, in charge of Miss
lyde, head of the practice home at
he College, a woman of rare intellecnal
talents and charm, was crowded
pith ladies all during the stop here,
i'his home wa9 the first of the kind
ver established in the State, says Miss
lyde, and she firmly believes that it
pill be the means of bringing eventuiJy
the rural districts into such a
appy state that the towns and cities
rill loose its charm for country boys
nd country girls. In this home the
iris are taught economical houseeeping,
and ali through the Winthrop
ar economy is the watchword.
All manner of labor-saving cooking
tensils are exhibited. This problem,
rhich is intended to meet the problem
f servant hire, is solved in the lecures
given by Miss Hyde and Misses
luff and Benton, two attractive members
of the senior class. The idea of
:eeping itemized accounts was stressed.
?wo cars are fitted up with laboraviug
devices, the actual workings of
vhich are shown to good effect. Miss
lyde has organized at practically
iver, point where the cars have been
nown a Homemakers' Club.
All members of the part}7 expressed
hem-elves as being elated over the
greeting they received in Lexington
md the people, who came some for a
lis mce of twenty miles, were amply
epaid for the trip.
