CRUELTY TO CONVICTS.
Lust Thunday Col. T. !. Lipscomb.
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.

fibout by the commingling of the t -aclu r-< "JJ

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.

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

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

hi-, on the report of similar brutalities,

fensoless creutures shall henceforth be '

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.
By Its use light or red bair may be darkened,
tbln hair thickened, and baldness often,
though not always, cured.
It checks falling of the batr, and stlmolAtAn
n. irnnlr anil wrAwfU vtrrnv Ik
prevents and cores scarf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to tlio
scalp. 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. On u-slng Aykr's Haik
Vioor the fulling stopped and a new growth
commenced, and in about a month my hoad

of the Vioon, but now use it occasionally as
