Superintendent, nnd Dr. D. S. Pope, physician of the Penitentiary, inspected the camp of the convicts on the Savannah Valley lload. The Coroner had alrendy gone to that neighborhood upon the report that the convict who died on the Monday previous had died from the eftWts of ? heating Acting upon the <t<]vie<2 of the Superintendent, and also of the Court authorities he had the budv of this ni'/'ro exhumed. I)r. Pone found upon examination that death had ensued froin some chronic disease and that there wore no signs of ill-treatment. Colonel Lipscomb, wo are informed, expressed himself very well pleased with the present condition and disciplino .of the camp. The facts of the former cruel treatment seem to be abopt these : Captain Carroll, in charge of the camp, *vas away on leave of absence for two or three weeks. In his absence the camp was in charge of one Jackson> who it is said drank heavily during this lime. The convicts were being marched ito eamp in squads of eight. Out of one of these squads, one fellow .succeeded in escaping. The other seven were sub to severe pumsniuent tor not having informed the guard that ho hnd filed his shackles. Two of these were whipped very severely. One of them Henry Porter, was terribly punished tho skin and flesh being whipped from off his back tor a space of several inches. Dr. Pope thinks he is yet in a critical condition. As soon as Captain Carroll returned, he discharged Jackson. The convicts say that Carroll is kind and just to them, and that the inhuman treatment was duo to Jnckson. We are glnd that things have turned out to be not as bad as they wore reported. And that work on tho Road will not be suspended. Seven of the convicts have been returned to the Penitentiary, and Dr, Gaubert who examined them in the absence of Dr. Pope, says he found no evidence of harsh treatment. There are left in camp one hundred uud three laborers. All we regret is that Jackson has been allowed to cscape. He deserves to be severely punished for his brutality. He who will abuse his authority over dofenceless and shackled prisoners is a coward and unlit to hold position. COMMENCEMENT SEASON. There is always some peculiar attraction connected with each portion of the yGar. The beginning of the year is characterized by good resolutions, spring fojr its rural picnics, summer, its :i->:commencements, autumn, its barbacuos and political compaigns, winter, its Christmas festivities. We are now in tho midst of the commencement season and, to us, no season is more fascinating. At this season we assemble to evince the interest we take In our young men and young maidens, who are about to launch upon the voyage of life.. No step is more important in its results, and we had almost said, ne 8top is more serious, yet those who take these steps invariablv lrw?k linnn I * / them with light beam ssnl eager anticipations, regarding lightly, ns it were, the seriousness connected with it. We think it well that such is the case, for we know that sooner or later they Will realize the responsibility resting upon them, and realizing them will he glad t!u>y knew them no sooner. The best motto wo know for j*onng people is to make well of the present, having some regard for the future and ila consequences. To those who are about to take this inoiit important step of their lives, we extend our best wishes and hope they may worthily bear the mantles which have descended to them from their forefathers. THE PIWSPEOT, We have seep a letter from Governor 11 niriind *<% n !-- - ?. >v w uugu louuiraii, containing one from Pr. Croft to Goveror IJagood fluent the Aiken subscription to tbc C., P. G. & C. It. R. Governor Ilagood thinks tho Aiken subscription very important to the success of the enterprise, yet realizes that, if Aiken declines to subscribe, Ve can and will eo to Montpiorencie, which, he says. is the better terminus. He will >v?it till Aiken has voted before h? goes before the compiitteu appointed by t)?o Charleston committee, and has ronton from Mr. Jlrawley's letters, to believe that if tho condition*} of local subserintion nn? complied with, that I hi! 0)oiipv Tor the work can be raised in Charleston, I So it woi|ld seem very nmclj dopeudu ott Aiken's action, J>r. Croft. writes tliut he in very hopeful of currying the election, It seep)* so impossible that the intelligent, sensible, progressive people of Aiken, can fail to recognize (ho importance to her of this crisis in her attaint, that'we cannot believe they will refuse to vote the subscription. " V v COUNTY TEACHER'S INSTITUTE. Oar excellent School Commissioner. Mr. Geo. C. Hodges, appreciating the advantages of a County Institute for ||?J the teachers of Vbbeviiie County is faking arrangements for the holding of one at this placo on July 22nd.. It is not necaasary for as tg sayanything, with regard u> the importance of thin enter - . . ' v ; " - ' ' " . ' ' - r- - <*" V - ' "' ' t 0 prise. Those of our teachors who have k?

Even if these institutes (lit! 110 other pood, that which is brought (le fibout by the commingling of the t -aclu r-< "JJ with each other, will greatly repay the Iroubie and expense incident upon nttending one. We hope the teaclwrs of the County will show th<>ir appreciation II of.Mr. Hodges'efforts, by turning out en masse on the occasion. A It A NIC. a Wo understand that the President anil cl' Directors of the Anderson National u> Hank arc contemplating starting a bank at this place. l,i We are sure that the enterprise would bo a paying one, and can guarantee Cj these gentlemen a hearty welcome anil ,!l . * . c" substantial financial assistance when bi they are ready to begin their enterprise. J* We have a good bank building, waiting m for some men of capital and business ^ pluck, to occupy it, and we believe that w we know whereof we speak, when we J" say that the people of Abbeville are di ready to give a bank their hearty sup- ^ port. Come down gentlemen and pros- ?>f pect for yourselves. " r~ la PltUBS ASSOCIATION. II #1. This body meets ill the city of (Ireen-i "J, villo, on July 14, 1885. A pleasantjw programme has been arranged, and we hope to uieet our brethren of press at n* that time.

I" Our reportor#left for that place on yes- pi terday afternoon. n< ol The fight over the Colh-ctorship in In Charleston hus been discontinued in the y papers, much to tlio delight of the reading public in this community. ct AVe regard the organization of a Building and Loan Association as a very u important factor in our future prospcri- T ty. These associations have done well 21 everywhere, they have been tried and we see no reason why ono should not a succeed here. (Il Gen'l. McCrady has written a long C and able article to tho A'cics and Courier, to show that we do not need any more rail roads in this State. The 2fews and Courier explains that the (j General has reference to local roads, and not to through linos that are built by ol outsido capitalists. '"Such lines draw business from distant points, and are, in large measure, independent of local c< trade and travel." The 2feirs and tl Courier says further, "It is undeniable that a short line to the West would be P1 lo beneficial to the State ar.d well worth the amount of local capital required to fr etisuro its completion." ' ^ Gen'l. McCrady thinks our greatest ^ need is improved country road. There is no question that a system of turn- in pikes in this State would be of incalcu- in lable benefit. Hut the question is how to attain this end without direct taxa tion for the purpose. It Gen'l. McCrady \ will solve this problem, he will earn in and receive the gratitude of tho whole 1)1 people of the State. -= i) Tlie Returned Convicts. " i r Tlio yenterday placed the reading public in pnaacssion of llie facts that there t| were rumors of a rcnclitimi nf treatment of convict* at the camp of Maj. Twiggs, who is working f hem on I lit: line of r< the Savannah VmIIcv Railroad, in Abbeville ft Comity, and that seven of the convicts from that camp had been returned to the Peiiiten- p.{ tinry in a disabled condition. Colonel John C. Haskell, who had returned from Abbeville on last Tuesday, informed the Governor that it report of cruef treatment inflicted upon the al convicts employed on the Savnnnah Valley Railroad were current there. These rejiorts . stnted that the convicts were compelled to work fifteen hours a day, and tliat the indications strongly pointed to harsh treatment as the cause of two deaths which had occurred recently. At lliu Governor's request, Colonel Haskell submitted u statement of these reports in writing; whereupon the. Governor immediately directed the Superintendent of the Penitentiary, accomj anied by the Surgeon, to innko a personal inspection of k the convicts, and, after a careful iuvestiira- ir tion of the charges of maltreatment, to make f, a full report of their condition. In accor- . dance v illi these instructions. Colonel Limpscomb and l)r. Pope left on Wednesday for 17 the convict camp. & A reporter of the Rtgittcr was at the Pen- |j itentiarv yesterday morning when Dr. Gaubert, who. in the absence of the Physician ! of the Penitentiary attends to his duties, examined these convicts. Tlicv were all ne- u groes, their names being Torn Williams, John \\ Williams, Klias Williams, Massa Cameron, jj Joe Armstrong,,Nathan Mitchell and Paten . Wilson. Five of them were in the hospital, , where they had been placed immediately on S their arrival. They wete suffering from* vn- is ;i<>tis causes, but nothing in their cases point- c, ed to any such brutal or severe treatment at the camp as indicated bv the above alluded to. None of tliein made auv complaint of be- ^ ing themselves subjected to treatment harsh- tl cr than being compelled to leave their camp lj before daylight in the morning iu order ranch the work, which was jive or ai* miles away, working until dark and not getting back to camp iintii about i> o'clock at night. 'J'Jiev all spoke of the brutality practiced on sonm of the.other convicts bv a white tnnn named .luol>#(in from Georgia, who was left iu charge of tholll dnriii-' 1 t . ?r ' "v wvivjivo | p| Major livipfra mut ('apinin Culiill.

When el Captain Cahill returned to the camp after-an absence.of about a week, during which, it la alleged, theso atrocities were perpetrated by Jackson, the latter left, as the witnesses be- *4 leire, having been dismissed by Captuln Cahill. 6 It Will be seen that the Governor has acted i promptly on receipt of th? first information, and while it la likely that the rumored atrocities hare been greatly magnified, there it ei Uttle room to doubt that the oflcial invest!- ui .7-i* . tion which Col. Lipscomb and Dr. Pope i- non- making on the spot, will show that c flicient cause exists to justify the demtnd t ticli was made so emphatic during the last 1 hi-, on the report of similar brutalities, at these exhibitions of inbuuiauity to these fensoless creutures shall henceforth be ' ?de impossible by abolishing the system of J ising convicts outside the onitenliarn. * eauwhile wo must nwait tho developments ' licit tuny be tnude on the return of Col. pscomb and l)r.

AYER'S Hair Vigor restores, with the glow and freshness of yoath, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or doep black, as may be desired.

As a Ladles' Hair Dressing:, tlio Yioob is unequalled; It contains neither oil nor dyo, renders the hair soft, glossy, and liken in appearance, and Imparts a delicate, agreeable, and laating'perfume. Mr. C. P. Botcher writes from Ktvbv, O., July 3,1682 : " Last fall my hair commenced falling out. and In a short time 1 bacaine nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of AVer's Uair Vigor, wlilch stopped the falling of the hair, and started a new growth. I have now a full head of hair growing vigorously, and am convinced that but for the use m your preparation I should have been entirely bald." J. W. Bowiif, proprietor of the AfcArthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says: " Aykr's Hair Vigor Is a most excellent preparation for the hair. 1 speak of it from my owii experience. Its uso promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledgo has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction." Mr. Axons Fairbairx, leader of the colobrated " Fairbairn Family " of Scottish Vocalists, wrltoa from Botton, Man., Feb. 0, 1880: " Kver since my hair began to give sll> very evidence of the obange which fleeting time procuroth, I have used Aykr's Hair VtaoR, and so have been able to maintain au appearanoe of youthfulness ?a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, orators, actors, and in fact evory oue who lives lu the eyes of the public." Mrs. O. A. Prkscott, writing from 18 Kin St., Charleitown, Mail., April 14, 1682, says : " Two years ago about two-thirds of my hslr came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fnat growing bald.
