Hoy I., the Columbia correspondent, writes of the state reformatory, which it is proposed to 1 locate at Florence. He gives a history of the agitation, which led up the introduction of a bill in the legislalature for the establishment of the ' reformatory, and a history of the legislation in reference thereto. The bill 1 oslablishing the reformatory was ' passed by the legislature in !!)()(} and ' carried with it an approprialion of ' $!,")()(). The Atlantic (,'oasl Line ' Ixailroad, through Mr. Henry Wallers. ' donated one hundivd and twenty ' acres ??I laud ad,joining the city of Florence, which is estimated to be ( worth .fJO.OOO. The e.ninly of Flor ence promised $l,."?00. Mr. Iloyt eon- ' Irakis these uilts with the appropria- ' lion by I he state to Hie discredit of the lalter. < At the session of the legislature in ' 1007, it was found that the appro- 1 priation by the slate had not been ex- ' haustcd, and the only appropriation ' made was the unexpended balance, ' which amounted to about $.'{,000. If we recall the propositions made to the las) legislature. I hey were first v for a direct appropriation by (Instate, which the ways and means commit lee failed to put in the appropriation bill. And then if that was not ! done for a ban from the sinking tund for a term of years. i ' A committee bill from: (ho i < committee on common schools was in-j . Iroduccd, providi11?_r for a loan from j ^ the sinking fund of $<>">.000 to be f paid back in live years at live pert cent, making $ I It,000 and (interest each year. L, hi'. Mann and the com- I mil tee from Florence, who appeared before the ways and means commit- < tee of I he legislature, as wo recall it, t insisted that they could not. do anything that would amount to much I with a less appropriation than $ !(),- 'I 000, and if they had that, they could n only care for about one hundred boys. ? We are inc.ined to the poiuion that the elaborate plans, which were presented. and llie laige a mil. which was a>ked and whicii ii seemed wa? reipiired to < a re for so >niall a iiuni- I I her of boys, probably frightened the members 'of the legislature and led them to the conclusion that if this money was invested at this time, that there would, in the future, be regular and constant demand for an increas. | ed appropriation. In fact, there was eonsidera^f difference of opinion. 4 as we recall it, as to the advisahili'v ol the state establishing such an institution. ami so large a school as seemed to be in the minds of those ? who were connected with its manage- ( ment. ^ In addition to that, if we are not mistaken. Dr. Mann staled that it was no| the purpose of the insliiutioii to take the criminal class of boys at all. and probably that state- j ment ol his yave currency to the I opinion I hat the ultimate object in j the minds of the management was to establish another higher institution' of learning in that pari of the slakoi8, rather than lo establish a real refor-j^ mat <-ry. I 1 Mr. Iloyt, in his article, says, J'* "Any boy convicted of a crime fori which the punishment is imprison-P* ment in the penitentiary, or on the chain-gang, may be committed instead to the reformatory by the circuit or I ^ magistrate s court, and the Jinl-ic or magistrate may remit the sentence $ it the boy voluntarily or on motion ^ ol his parents or guardian agrees to enter the institution." We are of the opinion, if those in 2charge of this reformatory would be (more moderate in their demands and 1( less extravagant in their ideas, that ^ something might be done by the state to assist in its establishment, but if it is stated again this winter that it ,, will take at least $-10,000 to prepare for one hundred boys, and that the s criminal class are not to be included, m it is very probable thai the legislature will do nothing. In fact, it' the crim- j I inal class are not to be taken as was staled last winter by the committee from Florence, which appeared before the ways and means committee, it seems to us that l lie idea of a reformatory would be entirely climinat-1 J ed from the institution. There is no doubt thai there are cases in which the reformatory is the proper place for the youthful criminal, but the tendency is loo much ""] towards the idea that we must he come wards of the slate and parental control, it seems some lime, i* a thinu i>l'tlie |?;ir-1. Prof. K. L. Put ton, for some years president of Krskinc College, and for :i number of years Professor of AnL-iont Languages in the University of Sontli Carolina, died at the home of [lis son in Washington 011 Wednesday in the S1 si year of his age. Dr. Pat ton was a native of Abbeville county and devoted the greater part of his long life to the profession d1' teaching. We see that it is stated by President Finley, of the Southern Kailtvay, that the rumor that this road ivas to go into the hands of a receiv?f, is unfounded in fact. We trust luit this is correct, because it would a* a ureal misfortune for the south f there should be embarrassment in lie management of the Southern tail way. II is sometimes popular to abuse !orporat ions, and especially the southern Kailway, but there has )een no more important factor in llie Icvelopnient of the south than the Southern Kailway. ll lias been 1111ler the management of southern men Yom the head ollieial down, who have 1 oI only a personal pride in the south, but whose interests are here, uid I hey have naturally done all I hat hey could in helping to develop and mild up this section.
