Something About the Most Perfect Farms in the South. Oo'umbia Record. The board of directors of the penitentiary, the governor,Super intendent Uriflith and Rorao othei etate officials intended to make an inspection of the state farme today, but, owing to the fact that other public business demanded tlfe attention of some of the cfli cers, the trip was postponed until next week. These farms are situated part ly in Sumter and partly in Ker shaw, but few people in the etate realize the extent of the opera tions carried on. There are aboul 2,4' 0 acres in the two farms, one being known as the "DeSausure1 and the other as theuReed" farm They consist of upland and fertile hntfnni londo 11 .I..IVKJ, UOOIUCP WUOUJUIlt and uncleared swamps. The farms are divided into twr equal tracts, and 75 convicts art assigned to work each, making about 16 acres for each convict to cultivate. Systematic method; are used, and to this is due mucli of the great results accomplished making these farms splendid oh ject lessons to every farmer in the state. Most of the convictf are negroes, the whites amonp them being composed of median ICS detailed especially tor that kind of work. Convicts are not shackled, but there have been but few attempts to escape. The men are renuired to ?tri<'fKr r>u . wt t measures have never succeeded | in passing. Supt. Griffith has paid a great deal of attention to this branch of the penitentiary management, , and when the statistics are available lor the legislator to pursue. ho can feel just pride in the ) showing made. 1 , . m, . | The Worst Form. Multitudes are singing the praises I of Kodol, the new discovery which is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what they ear, Dy cleansing and sweetening ? the stomach and by transforming Jheir food into the kind of pure, rich, red blood that makes you feel good all ovdr. Mrs. Crau> fill, of Troy, I. T., writes : For a ' number of years I was troubled with indigestion and dyspepsia ; which grew into the worst form. . Finally I was induced to use Ko dol and after using four bottles I am entirely cured. I heartily > recommend Kodol to all suffer , ers from indigestion and dyspepsia. Take a dose after meals.

New York, Oct.9 ?The most interesting subjects here generally is what means the preseucc 1 of President Mitchell. He has ! been here two days and during that time there have been two i long conferences at the Fifth ; Avenue hotel. Soon after dinner last evening he, with representa! tives of the Morgan interests, repaired to his apartmentR and closed the doors to the outside world. It was but au hour or two i before dawn when the conference br.dre and the lights in Mitchell's room were extinguished. Today Mitchell was mum to all newspaper men. At hie breakfast table this morning he said : 1 I "I will bo in New York tnmr.rrr.or > but tim purpose of my presence ; I do not propofo to give out." i The millions of extras that 1 flood tlie street are full of what i j might be happening, bat none have po far answered the question of the people : ''At what price . can we get coal tomorrow, or next week?" j Washiugtou is sending out a mighty ho ..

What uro you j going to do for me ?" "That's too far in the future forme to say. Do you waut it j today ?" 1 "No. What is it going for?" s. s "The wholesale price today is $30. eotuo are turning small quantities loose at $35." "What is it going to?" "I don't know, ask Mitchell and the railroud presidents." 1 further learned that those who are using coal on uu order for two or three tons, which they believe an order that, could be filled under even these conditions, get only one ton, arul un less they are old custuincrs, or of souie prominence, less thau this. Another demonstration of the fact that the strike is being felt is that the metropolis is about to outrival 1'ittsburg as a dirty city. In tho absence of a supply of anthracite the elevated roads are forced to use soft coal and as a consequence there is consider able complaint from the patrons and the residents and business people along the streets through which they operate. The volume of dense black smoke that pours from tho stacks of the little "L" engines, filling the second and third story flats, would do good credit to Mont Tolce?iho pas sengers supplying a goodly portion of the "sulphur." In a week or two tho woathor begins to pinch and with it will come the trouble. Unless there is some relief ia the meantime the greater number of schools? in many of which both races attend together?will have to close. Wood is even at a greater premium than coal. A Tj |?Iciit fSoulli African Store. " O. II. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the proverbial "needle to an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twenty-five from the nearest town. Mr. Larson Hays: "I am favored with the custom of farmers with-1 in a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a housebound where a doctor's advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store tl e population is perhaps sixty.

President Mitchell", (otter follows: W\ Ikeobfl ff" Pi., Oct S. lion. Theodr.ro Koosevelt, President of tiie I'nited States, VVashington, 1). (). Dear Sir: Carroll D. Wright has no double reported to you! the delivery of your message 101 me last Monday and my state-1 inont to him that 1 should tuke you suggestion under advisement, | although 1 did not look upon it with favor. Since that time 1 have consulted with our (ilHtrifl nriwiilonO who concur fully in my views. We desire to assure you again that we feel keenly the responsibility of our position uud the gravity of the situation, and it would give us great pleasure to take action which would bring this coal strike to an end in a manner that would safeguard the interests of our constituents. In proposing that there bo an immediate resumption of coal mining upon conditions we suggested in the conference at tlie White House we believed that we hud gone more than half way and had met your wishes. It is unnoeescmry in this letter to refer to the malicious assult made upon us in the response of the coal operators. We feei confident that you must have been impressed with the fairness of our proposition and the insincerity of those who maligned us. Having in mind our experience with the coal operators in the past we have no reason to feel any degree of confidence in their willingness to do us justice in the future and as much as they have refused to accept the decision of a tribunal selected by wni. .....1 1. j uu, unu iiiuciuuuu as mere lb uo law through which you could enforce the findings of the commission you suggest, we respectfully decline to advise our people to return to work simply upon the hope that the coal operators might be induced or forced to comply with the recommendations of your commissions. As stated above, we believe that vs e went more thau half way iu our proposal at Washington and we do not feel that wo should be asked to make further sacrifice. Wo appreciate your solicitude for the people of our country who are now and will bo subjected to great suffering and inconvenience by a prolongation of the coal strike, and we feel that the onus of this terrible state of affairs should be placed upon the side which hie refused to defer to iuir and impartial investigation. I am, Kespectfully, John Mitchell, President U. M. W. of A. No comment was mado concerning tho letter of Mr. Mitchell by officials ut the White House today, although it can be said that the president lias not exhausted all efforts in b-inging about an ev>d to vhe strife#* Nothing can Iju learned as to the future intentions of the president in this matter, and it is stated that the lime hu.s not \et come to dii>olM!?e the. purpose of tl.o administration.
