A WORD ABOUT S AND OTHER FLOURS. 1 THE only reason that the people of South Carolina have to eat sticky Flour is that there is no Pure Food Law in this State, and, as a consequence, this State is made the .dumping ground of every refuse lot of cheap, adulterated Flour in the country. We have no Pure 'Food Law because the people do not want it, as it will force manufacturers to discontinue their reckless and in- . jurions adulteration, and incidentally in crease the cost of pure foodstuff*. The howling demagogues of tho coun try could not stand any increase in the cost of living, and therefore the State is hopelessly committed to im pure bread; finch is not th? case, however, with our Flours, for every Car of our Flou,* ;s thoroughly tested for impuri ties, and our mill contracts guarantee absolute purity in every detail. . >.. r We rise to tell the dear people that if the great, good and patriotic Legislature will not protect them from the ; sharks that are feeding them on . injurious minerais which they call Flour, we will do so ; but we moat charge them tho price of pure Flour, aa we cannot sell pure Flour as cheap as the other fellow sells dirt and Flour.

Wanted, A Reform School. i About seven years ago the women of Alabama, seeing the great evil done to youthful lawbreakers by association with adnlt criminals, inaugurated a movement for the establishment of an industrial school for white boys. A committee was appointed, which pre sented to certain legislators the great need of such an institution. The leg islature granted a charter for a "re formatory and Industrial school, to be established under the care of tho State of Alabama * * * for the benefit of orphan, helpless and wayward chil dren/' and said school "to receive and provide for the welfare of white chil dren between the ages of eight aud sixteen, who, by reason of their con duct or surroundings, are likely to be come base or criminal, or hurtful to the State or the best interests of so ciety * * * or such children as 6hall have committed potty offenses or crimes;" said children to be committed to the school or reformatory by any judge or other propor officer. The legislature appropriated three thousand dollars tor this school, which appropriation was supplemented hy contributions from public.spirit ed citi zens, and a school was established at East Lake, near Birmingham. The legislature has since made increasing appropriations, and now ninety boys are being clothed, boarded, educated and trained in useful industries. A prominent judge recently, said that Al abama could better do away with every other public institution tuan the industrial school. Tennessee has had an industrial school for fifteen years. Careful rec ords kept of the subsequent careers of the thousand boys dismissed show that lees than two per cent reverted to evil ways. Experience having shown that it is cheaper to prevent crime than to punish the criminal, all save fourteen of the United States have established such schools. In the last fifteen years, how many South Carolina boys have been allowed to commit one petty offense after an other, and left unpunished and un cared for, until old enough to perpe trate crimes leadiug to terms in the penitentiary! The South Carolina Federation of Women's Clnbs, having undertaken the work of securing a school modeled on tho lines of thu one successfully operated in Alabama, asks and confi dently expects, the hearty support of all citizens of South Carolina. It ?B proposed to form an industrial school association, with a vice presi dent for each county, which vice pres ident will organize the work in her county, endeavoring to arouse interest i in the movement. Tho committee urge? tho co-operation of all the women in Sooth Carolina who believe in giv ing every boy a chance.
