St at CJtUELiTY TO CONVICTS. ^ The JVeios and Courier and the f'efjfster and other papers ii. ihe Stale have gone too far in their comments on the ..condition of affairs lately e\istinjr at the .convict camp ou the Savajin h Yalljy iload in this County. The Mhssknokii .was among the first to ealj public attun- yy jtion to the cruelty that had been practiced there, and ,va$. instrumental in securing an official investigation of the charges. That investigation has made it apparent that the cruel treatment was j,. perpetrated by a "boss' itrlt temporarily in charge of. the camp. He was (lis- j, churned as soon as his iuhuiiiaii conduct in f * * wok uLehised, and since his departure1 no cause of .complaint has a'isen. It is unjust to charge Captain Carroll who is ' * in permanent charge of the camp with n< any knowledge of theactionsof Jackson. It i's_equully unjust to insinuate that he connived at the same, lit? dismissed w Jackson. Perhaps ho ought to have (j had him arrested. Hut this was an or- ai ror of judgment. The report of the offi ? is of the Penitentiary informs us that 111 . vii , JLhe convicts look upon Captain Carroll c.j their friend. This information is cor- \\ ; roWoruted by private persons. The two J" jconvicls who were so inhumanly beaten Jby Jackson arcs improving, and the sani- >p ta?-y condition of the camp has hcen im- p j?v<?ved. .We hour thut this is the opin- P jon of l)r. Pope, the physician of the ^ penitentiary who has lately visited the j> ?mup. The hours of luSor have been 15 u tvdu?;ed to the time fixed by law. We jifive been informed by Dr. Tuiisart in J3 . || j jvhoui we ha>ne implicit confidence that j the convicts are in good condition, and t( . are being well cared for. Evidently a ( Jhe investigation has had good results. 11 But there is no use to go to the ex- l( ticuie.liiuit, and demand the recall of \ ) jthe convicts if the evils complained of il , ^Jiave been remedied. There is nothing u' /nore to be done as long as the system '' of leasing convicts continues of force, ti v We are frank to say we are no advo- h . jcates of the system. Wo believe if the JState would buy or lease a lar^e tract of land and work the convicts under the ^ ntipviiiniVIl Ul lllf UHlUWnilta II of the Penitentiary that it would butter 01 ..subserve the ends of justice. hotter protect the convicts and be a source of rovenue to the State. Hut since the (I present system'remains in force, and ? .. since the S. V. 11. R. authorities are conforming to the law, we saj let them jilone. except to keep such a supervision a over them that the harsh treatment once complained shall not occur ftguin. We who were active in invoking an investigation can safely say ihis ppon the information that is before us. CO. G, REUNION*. On the 7tl) Ang. j>rox,ni?- Co. (T.

IT no ll'ootls come there will be plenty ol "hominy" this year. The party reached Anderson uhout 1 o'clock leaving Duo West at H-UO. We wri" greeted by the Anderson club in the May's Hotel. After a refreshing dinner and being made acquainted with the Captain. Mr. Means and also other members of the club, at 5 o'clock the game began, by Mr. Means and I'. S. (iallowav choosing to the positions. The Duo West club won and took tin: "outs."' The lirst inning ended by Anderson making one score. Duo West nothing. On the third inning the I'ionoer were 5 and the Widemnns In the middle of the Gth inning rainfall began with a heavy wind and tin; Duo West club was compelled to yield. t<> the call of the game by the umpire with h.df of their 5th inning unplaycd and :t couple of men on the bases. After, perhaps, 3.j of an hour the boys went back and and though the ground was wet and muddy, the game being in such a condition it could not be counted tin; desire was expressed especially by the Due West club that the 5)th inning be id.iyed out. With this intention the game was resumed and Due West finished her 5th inning, the game standing, Due West 0, Anderson 7. The <>th inning was entered upon and Anderson tn:ule several scores. The rain was now coming down so hard that the b:i!l could not be held. Though it was no'. legal to count part of a game, if under 5 innings, the two sides had however agreed to piny the game out or until it raiuetl, and the score was to be counted on the last even inning, llnin interrupting a?ain, the game was called on the 5th inning in favor of Anderson by a score of 7 to (>. As is always the case when a rain interrupts a game, it was not entirely satisfactory to either club but was strictly according to agreement and was justly credited to the Anderson nine. The truth of the business was our nine did not appear to advantage in these 5 innings excepted at the close when they were catching up. The Anderson nine however played a beautiful game. That j evening al'tei the game, the home club took their guests to th.; handsomt Drug j Store of Messrs. Orr & Sloan where is as beautiful a Soda Fountain as you ever laid your eyes on and served the boys <(<l libitum in most elegant style. The understanding that evening after the game was that we would cross bats I tl ! i-vi;i uiu me next morning. r-so at 'J o'clock ihe second game began. On this game the Due West boys led oil' most superbly making lo scores on the two first innings, Anderson making *1 011 the same. The Due West club white washed their compuditors six limes during the next 8 innings and were i:i turn white washed twice. The closing of the game was linely played and ended "H to G in favor of Due WeH, she playing only 8 innings and Anderson U. The following is the score by the isinings : Wideinans?7 G 0 1 1 2 1 0 Total 18 I'ioneers?4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 G Dr. E. 11.

This series o! | l wo games ended with the utmost good will prevailing, and we fietly s:;y we! have never played with a more gentlemanly or more obliging set of voung men i tie Anderson club expects to play the j ihird game on our grounds next Thurs- | lay or L'lidiiy when we hope to return the courtesies enjoyed on this trip While in \ndersou we took in soon*- \ tiling of the town.

Half tho value of any thing to be done consists in doing >t promptly, And yet a large class of persons are always unpu.ictual ami late. Their work is always in advance of| them, and so it is with their appointments and engagements. They are late, very likely, in the morning, nod also in going to l?:d at night; late ul their meals ; late at the counting-housc or office ; lute at tho appointments with others. Their letters are sent to the post office just as the mail is closed. They arrive ul the wharf just as tho steamboat is feavinir it. They come into tho station just as the train is going out. They do not entirely forget or omit an engagement or duty, but they are always In-hind time, and so are generally in haste, or rather in a hurry, as if they had been burn a little to late, and for ever were trying to catch up with the lost lin.c. They waste time for themselves and for others, and fail of the comfort and inlluence and success which they might have found in systematic and habitual punct uality. A good old lady, who was asked why she was early in her seat in church, is said to have replied that it was her religion not to | disturb tlio religion of others.
