County was tho loser thereby of a considerable
amount, leaving out of ihe question the
undervalued price for which the land was
sold. *
The system now in vogue for the conduot
of the t o r house is what is known as the
'farming oal" process; vix: paying a man
f to look after and care for the paupers; the
County furnishes ^he needed supplios ot
provi-luns and clothing, and furnishes the
s ime man st <ck und plantation implements
to operate a farm on the halves. This system
<.f c*riog for our poor has resulted in
greet Its* to the County and in great nsgleot
t? thJr-a dependent upon our bounty and has
served only to pour a number of shekel* into
the pockets of the poor liouee suprrindent.
'l'hup tor house mules are used by outaider*
<o c in y on fanning operations and
firr hauling for all whioh theJCouoty retains
no1 osio c.-nt of pay.
It might be well to aid that the superindoul
of poor house is a brother of the Chairman
of lioar 1 of County Commissioners nod

than C? u ity purposes are used by the Chair..t

From ell tlie information brought to our
knowledge the poor liouac aud its property
seems lo bo operated for and in the interest
of the Superintendent and tho Chairir.au of
Hoard of County Commissioners, to the utter
disregard of Uniou County.
Cows arc greatly needed at the poor house
for . the benefit of sickly inmates. The
Couuty n ?w has to buy milk wheu they
should have cows and thus hare pleuty.
There was a cow sold some timo back to
tho poor house by the Chairman of H^nr I of
County Commissions-s for 5?40, and after a
short while it woo in the hands of one of
his brothers, not connected with the poor
ltouso in any way, and we understand thst
it was sold not n great while lack fur beef,
and that ilia entire tmniaciiou was decidedly
shady.
That the court may have some idea of the

t?v?iil days at a time, aud in bit absence
the business or the poor bouse is left in the
hands of a citizen>f Afiican descent.
The ijupeiiulendeut is at this time getting
double pay from the County?pay for Superintendent
and pay for constable in attendanoe
upon this oeurt. His plaec should be
at tho seat of his business and post of duty
?? he poor house?and not aiding in runnng
a court of justice.
Of Into several pnupors liaro died, and
on one occasion two died about the sauie
time, during the abscuce of the Superintendent
end their bodies remained unattended
to until the Superintendent's return, which
was two days afi< r dtaih.
la this oonnection ws would rscoinmend
thst suitable provisions be made for the
proper caring for and nursing of the sick,
** ^ a'l of which is now unprovided for.
The Superintendent beats unmercifully.

inmate, all of which is repulsive to humanit
jr.
The court will pardon the great space and
time which we have devoted to this matter
of our County poor, but it is ooe of groat
import and is treated with sieming great
neglect. We would respestfuilj ash that
the Solicitor do take this matter of poor
house management and sale of poor house
land in hand, and take steps to set aside
the salo made of the laud to which reference
lias been made, n't? to get out indictmoula
agaiust Chairman of Doard of County Commissioners
and Supatintendent of poor
house for orimual ucglcct in taking charge
of tbo property and inmates of that inuob
abused institution. .

CIIKAP INSURANCE
IN A STOCK COMPANY,
MEANS that for a present reduction of
20 per cent of your premium, you relinquish
nil claims on the profits to be made
on your money, and thus help to enrich th^
stockholders, la the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York
THERE ARE NO STOCK-HOLDERS
and the insured get nil the profits. If an
agent of a stock company tries to belittle
our profits, write us for THE PROOF, and
we will furnish it. .
- Thousand* OT tire belt people In South
Carolina know that we never make a statement
which we cannot prove.
Do not let an agent of another so called
"cheap" company "twist" your mutual
policy. An insurance contract is not a thing
of a day or a year. It is a lifetime investment,
and yon ought to be careful how you
make such au investment. Cheap insurance
is like a cheap plow or Cottou Gin : It may
work fa rly well for a very little while, and
ilien you know how it is yourself.
