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 " ??!?

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.

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. R. R. Bond Indebtedness. v ...... 0 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 LUI1. 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.

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.
