THE ANNTG TMES. 11 WEDNESDAY, OCT, 78, 1885. B. S. DINKINS, Edior and Proprietor. His Honor Jndge Aldrich in charging the Grand Jury took occasion to make some very appeopriate remarks upon the convict-labor system, He characterized it as an evil de manding-prompt Legislative action, and showed that while the system of hiring out the laborers is-bringing reproach upon our State,; as well as other States. the Peniten tiary is n6t sulffciently large to accommodate all the coniicts, and that some disposition nist Te made of then. His suggestion is that one of bur Sea-Islands be purchased and the convicts be sent there and be made to work a farm on the Island under the State's supervision, and assist in making their Suppor.. The Island could be easily guarded by boats at less expense than un- i der the present system. Another suggest- I ion of His Honor, is specially worthy of note. -This-was in reference to- sending i children to the Penitentiary. Instead of i this he suggests that a Beformeatry School be established, and that all children convict- i ed of offences be sent there, where they might.be educated both intellectually and morally, and they would be turned loose from there perhaps useful citizans, instead of hardened crimin-ds as they now usually come from the Penitentiary. These we re - gard as exceedingly nhciesome suggestions. We are as much bound to care for the un lortunate convicts in this relation to the State. as we are bound to care for them as citizens at home, and this is not done. Other States have houses of correction, and reformatory schools in which to train the idle and the vicious, and find them useful aidsin reducing the commission of crime, and sooner or later, we will be found fol lowing this saggstion. - THE SYNOD. The late Syncd of the Presbyterian Church of this State which met at Chester, passed the following resolutions condemning the action of the Board of Direetors of the Columbia xam y fn their treatment-of the Rev.-Dr. WgPdrow : 1st That the Synod disapprove of the ac tion of the Board of Directors in requesting the resignationof Proff James WoodrowJ n not-being justified by the action of the eontrolling Synod, nor ,hy any statement made by Pro. Wcpdro* previous to this Action. the Synod disapprove of the re-I Dr. Woodrow from his professor ncnttutional. is, we believe, a virtual restoration Perkins professorship to his seat in 0 t gr y, provided he possesses meek aedg'sidsnsto b4 led U ack. Now that the achism which divided this sacred Insti ttion is removed; its friends will espect ina a short time tosee it regain its pristine i place among the leading theTogiecal schools i esse day n timeago.

The largest iEmoo . .n apposrance is] that oflMr.L Loyns, one of our live and active merchants, who has laid the Town under obligation to him, for sio valuable a contribution to the beisty of the~ place- a monument to hiioe sense, benevolent judgement an etaste.

All cases of double entry he went for with zest -2.~ intres s keen as the Astrono ners of tfe day follow up the new ound "star of Bethlehem."

Mr. 1itor: Please allow me a very sanall pace in yor paper for a short reply to our highly esteemed correspondent. 'Meipse." He i's laboring under a cloud aid has shot wide of his mark. I am a riner in a very small way, but I have no tore, turpentine still or factor, nor am I the epresentative of any. I paddle my own >at, and pay for my labor in money. I am sorry for "Ieipse," I am afraid he s among the unfortunates who were born vith silver spoons in their mouths, and :now not how to get rid of them. I never iad one myself, except that which I worked ,r, and consequently have never found uch difficulty in-getting rid of it when he occasion demanded. He speaks of :hose 4elightful adjuncts to a pleasant home -the giving his wife, daughters and sisters l those sweet comforts, so dear to a wo man's heart. I am no brute myself that I ould deprive my family of any of the lux ries I could afford them. I do not know "Meipse," but will venture the assertion :hat he spends more money on himself Ian he does in amusement for his fa.mily. e goes hunting and fishinq, anI re sorts to places improper for ladies to visit, as a host of company, big dinners, Havan a eigars and elegant win-is, while his ;ood, gentle wife and her lovely daughters weary themselves, that everything may look ttractive to this fastidious epicure, hus band and papa. and his merry companions. [f all men possessed perseverance and econ :my equal to our good women, there would ao longer exist a need for factors. For the benefit of my friend, I will relate an inci lent about one of these silver spoon men which occurred here in our midst. The one [ have reference-to had 1,-en giving lieAs regularly from the first . pyearance of the Lien Law upon the Statute book, until he 2ad liened himself out of everything except is land, a mule and a heavy debt; at this uncture (two years ago) his wife steps up md prays that the lien business stop. Well ic listens to her. Of course they endured rials 'or awhile, but where ar they to-day? )ut of debt, and with a br'ght prospect for big harvest. Now I have no doubt my riend's faithful wife ha, or will urge him o adopt the same course. Try it "Meipse,' nd I am satisded you will in two years bank "Ox Famer" for the suggestion. At east let me advi~you not to borrow your hetor's money, and - then rantingly abuse iim because he has accommodated. you. Kot wishing a public dis '~son, I close. Len Caeofchirrhus Cancer. f-%h~ntold benefit I have received rom the use of S. S. S. leads me to eknowledge its virtues and recoin ned it to all who are suffering with miors, and especially in its terrible 'orm.. cancer. A year ago this .July, I wrote to the company in Atlanta, Ga., concerning a cancer that had troubled ne two or three years past, but which 2ad been increasing in size and red ess quite rapidly for three months >receding thiat letter. I had heard of the wonderfulecures of Swift's Specif c, and resolved to try it. I conmmenc d taking it in April, 1884 My gener d health was much improved, yet the ~ancer which was in my breast con inued to grow slowly but surely. When I wrote in July last I received treatise on blood and skin diseases, w'ith advice to keep the S. S. S. I did so. The bunch grew and became quite meavy, also very dark and angry look ing, until the middle of December, when I felt that I must either have it ut out or die.. But contrary to all expectations, it commenced to ooze a ittle bloody substance, and in a week it seemed to break, making a large >pening and discharging quantities f almost black, thick blood. It con tinued to discharge less and less, heal-, ing around the edges, until February, when it was entirely healed up and well. I took 26 bottles of the S. S. S., nd feel that I owe my life to its vir ues. My case is a wonder and a miracle to all in and about this corn munity. I wish I could tell every body of the benefits I have received, nd induce all. who suffer from cancer o use Swift's Specific. I am seventy-' lve yen.1s old, and niy health is so improved, that I feel better than I bmave for years. Most gratefully yours, BETsEY 'WooD. Cochesett, Plymouth Co., Mass., July 13, 1885. Swift's Specific is entirely vegetable and seems to cure cancers by forcing out the impurities from the blood. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseas es mailed free. THE SWIFT SPEcIFIC Co,, Drawer 3,.
