Hoyt, the Colum bia correspondent, writes of the stat( reformatory, which it is proposed t( locate at Florence. He gives a his tory of the agitation, which led up thi introduction of a bill in the legisla lature for the establishment of th< reformatory, and a history of the leg islation in reference thereto. The bil establishing the reformatory wai passed by the legislature in 1906 an( carried with it an appropriation o: $4,500. The Atlantic Coast Lin< Railroad, through Mr. Henry Walters donated one hundred and twenti acres of land adjoining the city o. Florence, which is estimated to b( worth $20,000. The county of Flor ence promised $4,500. Mr. Hoyt con trasts these gifts with the appropria tion by the state to the discredit oj the latter. At the session of the legislature ir 1907, it was found that the appro priation by the state had not been ex hausted, and the only appropriatiox made was the unexpended balance which amounted to about $3,000. If we recall the propositions mad4 to the last legislature, they were firs for a direct appropriation by thi state, which the ways and means com mittee failed to put in the appropria tion bill. And then if that was no done for a ban from the -inkins fund for a term of years. A committee bill from th( committee on common schools was in -troduced, providing for a loan fron the sinking fund of $65,000 to b< paid back in 'five yeacrs at five pe: cent, imaling $13,000 and interesl each year. . Dr. Mann and the com mittee from Florence, who appeare< before the ways and means commit tee of the legislature, as we recall it insisted that they could not do any thing that would amount to mucJ with a less appropriation than $40, 000, and if they had that, they counh only care for about one hundred boys We are ineciried to the poinion tha the elaborate plans, which were pres ented, and the large amount, whic: was asked and which it seemed wa required to care for so small a num ber of boys. probably frightened th members 'of the legislature and le them to the conclusion that if thi money was invested at this time, tha there would, in the future,.be regula: and constant demand for an increas ed appropriation. In fact, there wa: eonsidera~ differenlce of opinion as we recall it, as to the advisabilit of the state establishing such an in stitution, and so large a schootl a: seemed to be in the minds of thosa who were connected with its manage ment. SIn addition to that, if we 'are no mistaken, Dr. Mann stated that i was. not the purpose of .the institu tion to take the criminal class o: boys at all, snd probably that state ment of his gave currency to th4 opinion that the ultimate object ir the minds of the management was t< establish another higher institutior of learning in that part of the staa 1:ather than to establish a real refor matory. Mr. Hoyt, in his article, says " Any boy convicted of a crime foi which the punishment is imprison. ment in the penitentiary, or on the chain-gang, may be committed instead to the reformatory by the circuit o1 ma.gistrate 's court, and the judge oi magistrate may remit the sentenec if the boy voluntarily or on motiot of his parents or guardian agrees t< enter the institution.'' We are of the opinion, if those ir charge of this reformatory would be more moderate in their demands and less extravagant i their ideas, thai something might be done by the state to assist in its establishment, but ii it is stated again this winter that il will take at least $40,000 to prepart for one hundred boys, and that the criminal class are not to be included it is very probable that the legislature will do nothing. In fact, if the crim inal class are not to be taken as was stated last winter by the committe< from Florence. which appeared be. fore the ways and means committee it seems to us that the idea of a re formatory would be entirely eliminat. ed from the institution. There is no doubt that there ar< eases in which the reformatory is the proper place for the youthful crim inal, but the tendency is too mue} towards the idea that we must be V0.11'. W,1111s of Thle sti-c awl pa-enu tal 1 Prof. E. L. Patton, for some years piesident of Erskine Coullege, and for a number of years Professor of An cient Languages in the University of South Carolina, died at the home of his son in Washington on Wednesday in the 81st year of his age. Dr. Patton was a native of Abbe ville county and devoted the greater part of his long life to the profession of teaching. We see that it is stated by Presi dent Finley, of the Sotithern Rail way, that the rumor that this road was to go into the hands of a receiv er, is unfounded in fact. We trust that this is correct, because it would be a great misfortune for the south if there should be embarrassment in the management of the Southern Railway. It is sometimes popular to abuse corporations, and especially. the Southern Railway, but there has . been no more important factor in the { . development of the south than the Southern Railway. It has been un der the management of southern men from the head official down, who have not only a personal pride in the south, but whose interests are here, and they have naturally done all that they could in helping to develop and build up this section.
