And there wasn't a thing at which to howl over which a pup should weep and the courseof the dog was wrong and foul, for peo ple were wild to sleep.

NOT EMPTY YET Itoport Slums Many Prlwmers in ?*<li and 011 State Inarms. Columbia, S. C., Jan 4 - By reas on of Governor Blease's free use of tli? pardoning and paroling power, many people are under the impres sion that the South Carolina state penitentiary is almost depopulated and yet in the annual report of Su perintendent Griffith, of that instir tution, it is shown that on Decem ber 31, of the year just closed, 761 convicts were confined in the prison and on the statQ farms. There were in prison during last year, i,004, from which 5 were par doned. 77 paroled, sentence expired 123, died 23, escaped 15. The re port shows that the penitentiary closes the year with a cash balance on hand of $102,746.70, and in ad dition there are ' accounts due of $5,7 00 and ten bales of long staple upland cotton on hand. The state farms produced pleftty of corn and wheat for the convicts and hay to sell. The cotton crop was not so good. The sanitary con dition of the prison Is reported to bo good, which Is Interesting in viow of the attacks by the governor on tjie prison hosiery mill as a "tuberculosis incubator." No reference is made to this mat ter by the report of the superinten dent. Of the state reformatory at Loxlngton for colored boys the re port says: "We have been able to run an eigh teen-horse farm with six adult prisoners, thti balance of the work being done by the reformatory boys." The boys are taught cleanliness, and how io prepare and eultlVflto" land, are required to study ~Cfi? catechism and other Sunday school literature. The prison c hap 1 alp 1ft Hey. .1. C. Abney.
