W. WV. MOORE, Candidate for Adjutant and Inspector Genral. A Card From Dr. Wyche. In all my campaigns I have endeav ored to candidly express my views on the qLiestions before the people. I have never used money, whiskey, set-up to dinner and other questionable meth ods to influence voters. I have al ways tried to conduct a clean cam paign. I detest and abhor the cam paign liar and if I can not secure of .fce without resort to bi ibes, lies and slanders I do not desire office. Just before the recent primary some per sons, for motives known to themselves, circulated a report that I said at Young's Grove I was in favor of an equal division of the school funds be tween the whites and the negroes. This is adsolutely false. I have wever thought of such a thing. The white trustees control the f:i.ds and I have confidence in their judgment and pat riotism. If there should be a depar ture from the present method I think the white man's money should be used to educate the white children, and the. negroes money should be used to edu cate the negro children. I proved, pub licly, by my opponent that I did nt say anything about an equal division of the school fund. I know not what other falsehoods: will be circulated but I wish to warn. the people against believing any stories put forward, by designing per sons, at this late day. If they have aught against me why do they not m nc mie face to face. T favor State-wide prohibition because I think it is best for the people; because I do not think it is right for a few counties to seP whiskey at an immense profit to them-K selves to the detriment and injury of the surrounding counties. I favor. biennial sessions of the legislature be cause it 'will saxe $40,000 to $50,000 every other year. I think the State farms should be sold and the convicts should be worked upon the public highways. I think the roads can be worked by forming two or three work ing squads to be used throughout the year. These squads with the help of the chaingang can put the roads in good repair without any additio'ial cost to the people. The $2 commuta-: -tion tax and 1-mill property tax will, in my opinion, accomplish good re sults if this method is adopted. If the present method is continued I would~ require the county authorities to work the chaingang an equal number of days! in each township. I favor an econo-I mical administration of the govern ment and have opposed extravagant appropriations to colleges or for any other purposes. I have always voted for any measures to improve the ef ficiency of the common schools. I am opposed to extravagant salaries. The people are entitled to the lowest tax consistent with good government. As to my work in the legislature I wish to say that I have taken an ac tive part in considering and passing all the important measures of the1 sessions of which I have been a mem ber. The best legislator is not one who introduces the greatest number cf' bills. I Mye been the leader in the enactment of three measures of far-reaching importance. I. The pure food law. This act re quires all food, drugs, medicines, ex tracts, etc.. to be what they claim to be, Before the passage of this act all kinds of adulterated, impure and injurious foods and medicines could be sold. Now they must be what they purport to be. All patent medicine must state on the bottle the amount of alcohol, morphine, chloral, cocaine or other poisons. This is a great protec tion to the people and will save many from taking habit-forming drugs. Tru lv South Carolina was the dumping ground for adulterated foods and! drugs. Again before the passing of this law drugs and extracts were sold only one-half strength, now they are required to come op to standa:d. 1 >av'- said e-nough to indicate the im n,orrance of the law, although volumos conld be written about the frauds and impositious practiced upon 'the people before the passage of this act. Second measure of importanice I introduced the first bill for a Sta:' bateiologist and have kept up the r1o the people. The board of health t assistance of this laboratory n,pct the water supplies of towns. ei s. SChools and in facr any part of ibe State when needed. They furnish the :suer triarnwnt free to persons bit ten by rabid dogs; antitoxin free, v^neh robs diptheria of its terrors. Be sides the poorest man in the State caD have his sputa analyzed for tubercu 1osis, his blood for typhoid fever, etc. The third important measure is a change in th- rules of the house pre --!:;hf inmrodcCTiOn Of n1Umer0OUS local bills until the report of the copi mitte in which it could be incorporat e(- was under consideration. This saves hundreds of dollars expense in printing, etc., as one bill accomplishes the same thing that 40 or 50 bills would accomplish. The leading news paper of the State complimented my work in securing this reform. As chairman of committee on claims' I turned down many fraudulent claims against the State. I made an a,gu rent against payment of the Lord Bond claim and as result of this fight' ne hundred thousand dollars was aved to the people of this State. I have not space to give my legislative mareer, but am pleased to know that. qy course has been commended by ome of the best men of this county ind State. If reelected I can only pro nise to work for the best interests of' :he State and to serve the people to :he best of my abilty. C. T. Wyche. A Card. I desire to express my thanks and ny appreciation to the good meople of' \ewberry county for the very hand ;oie vote which I received in hi pri nary and to assure them that I will ndeavor always to prove w-)rthv of he confidence they have placed in m. Jno. L. Epps. MAKING OVER THE BAD BOY. Che Manner of Reformation That Hps Been Adopted in Great Britain. No Prisons Now Needed. ,ondon Express. The bad boy is naturally-at any rate, until we reach Utopia-always ith us; but the vital point is to see: :hat, if possible, he becomes an hon-: est, self-respecting man, and no~ stone should be left unturned to se-. ure such an asset for the nation as' 1e then would be. Happily, public institutions and pri rate individuals have long been work-. ng to this end, and recently great trides have been made in the difficult ut altogether necessary task of over 3oming the evil influences' of early mvironment and of making a youth ul criminal-more sinned against~ :han sinning-into an industrious and aseful citizen. That there is no lack of material te work upon is obvious from the fact that in one way or another over 20, 30 children under the age of sixteen :ome annually in contact with British riminal courts, and that in the last recorded year nearly 10,000 of such :hildren were convicted of crime by the magistrates. What treatment they receive immediately after conviction,. and what becomes of them in the end what, in short are the results of our treatment-I will now briefly relate: The vast majority of young crimin als do not go to prison-happily, in uture, no prison will know them. They1 go, instead, to the reformatory and in c dustrial schools, which are over 200 in number, and last year there was a total of 26,256 children in such schools, of whom 21,244 were boys. Reformatory schools, of course, aret reserved for the more serious cases, and, indeed, the boys in them aree known officially as "youthful off en ders," while those in the industrial schools are technically described as "children" simply. Till this year chil dren under 12 could be sent to refor matory schools, but in future the ages of those transmitted to such, schools will be between 12 and 16, and as heretofore, the terms of detention will be not less than three years no more than five, while after eighteen months of detention the same power of re leasing them on license in order toe learn a trade or obtain employment will be enjoyed. After careful inquiry I have form ed the opinion that the 5,000 boys in the reformatory schools are treated in the right spirit. The atmosphere of the place is that of a school rather t than a penitentiary. The staffs of the schools are loyally rendering a great service to the State by the way in which they approach a very difficultI problem. Games of all kinds, educa tion in many directions, ameliorating influences everywhere, and a close combination of rigid discipline with :rsonal kindness have done wondersC wi:h a class which might well be re garded as hopeless. How well these schools have suc ceeded with the worst boys of the na tion m:ay he inferred from the known results. And I will give the latest ob ainable.
