Superintendent Noal and his associate olllcors have conducted the aflairc of tho institution on the best buslnoss prlnelploB untbthoir services will no doubt be appreciated by the Legislature. Tho following roport of Superinten dent Noal will prove interesting : 'Mab requlrod -by law, 1 have the honor to submit my third annual report as superintendent of tho South Carolina .Ponitontiary for fourteen months, ond lcg this day. ?7PT mako this roport for fourteen months -instead of twolvo months, scauBed by tho now Constitution chang ing tho tlscul yeur from Ootober 31st to December 31st, making the long roport this year iustoad of noxt. I urn glad to say that the financial condition of the Penitentiary is good. Wo have had heavy expenses "this yoar, caused by equipping the'three State farms, which wore leased to prlvato parties boforo I was elooted Suporintondent, which leases expired with tho yoar 1894. This ohango eaused us to buy sirfty oight muU s and horses, engines, gins, wagons, tools, farming implements and buildings, at a cost of about $12, 000. Tho crops for tho past year on tho three State farms wore good as a whole, and on the sharo farms fairly zood, with one or two exceptions, U i o State's share of tho crops is as fol 1,185 bales of cotton, 25,150 Is of corn, 30,515 bushels of cot icd, 535,000 pounds of hay und ', 1,075 bushels of -peas, 2,500 .ion.-, of molasses, 200 bushels of rico, ?<f00 worth of tobacco, 5,000 bushels of oats. Cash value of crops for the year, $08,010,00. Liabilities of the institution, aside from tho Ueid farm purchased, $4, 687.30. Wo have in eash $2,140.72 duo from convict hire and other sources, $3,242.52; cash value of crops now oh hand, $15,000, which gives us cash and supplies to bogln this year's work of $15,005.87. after deducting the liabilities. We bought January last tho "ltoid Plantation," adjoining tho " DeSaussuru Farm," 1,712 acres, for $8,460.00, which will onablc us to thoroughly protect the wholo swamp lands from overllow, giving us a very , valuable tract of land, containing 4, 712r<h,os. Wo inudeon tho two places thU year 14,000 h>i?'.els of corn, 480 bales of cot ton, 3,000 bushels of oats, 2,400 gallon* of molasses, 225,000 pounds of hay and fodder, 000 bushels peas, 12,000 bushols of cotton seed; and wo expect to do much better on these two places next yoar, as wo will havo more time to prepare and clear land and pub tho place? In good lix for a crop. Owl car to tho doproasod financial ^foaHtiou oi me^country, wo were una iiio to piaoo tho convict labor for as (rood a prico as we will the coming poar. But notwithstanding tho hard ;.imes and low prices of farm products wo will he able to run tho penitentiary without asking tho Legislature for help. I vhink wo should congratulate ourselves that in spite of Ae?Sa, fire and money panics, all af which we have had heavy losses from, we are able to pull thro \t an<l make the "vjx . o .as that wo have ..liuie during '.hdpast three years. Wo ha', i furnished Clemson College during the past year with 10,080 days' labor, at 40 cents por day, $4,272.00; with clothes, shoes ana other oxpennon amounting to $1,170.40. Wo also fur nished the Winthrop Normal and In dustrial School 18,528 days' labor, at 40 cents per day, $7,411,20, guard hire, clothes, shoes aud other expenses amounting to $3,021.42. We furnished tho Lunatio Asylum with 7,280 days' labor, at 40 cents per day, amounting to $2,912.00, guarding and other ex penses $1,500, from whioh we only re ceived $3,181.60. it will be readily seen that theso three State institutions havo received from the penitentiary labor ana cash in tho sum of $17,114,30, as requlrod by tho Leglslaturo, free of cost. Por a moro thorough statement of the cash and exponso account, I respeotfully refer you to tho more ex plioit statemout of our olork, Mr. R. E. Burriss, whioh roport I feel sure you will find very full and satisfactory. On tho 31st of Ootobor, 1804,' as shown by our last roport. wo had oon flned in the state, ponitontiary and oonviot oamps 1,002 prisoners ; receiv ed from tho courts for the past four teen mouth.-., 505; from the asylum, 2; recaptured, 38; making the whole number in prison during tho past fourteen months, 1.007 ; dlsoharged by expiration of sentonoo, 503; pardoned, 40; esoapod, 49; by order of tho court; 2; by death, 47 ; killed while attempting to escape, 3; _dcowned, 1; transferred to the aiyltiro, 2^making a total lost, ._JtQ7, ; -leaving contined**ln the. poniton tiary on December 31st, 1895, 990; making 72 prisoners less than wore on hand Ootooor 31st, 1M04.

In connection with the report of the Superintendent of tho Penitentiary somewhat of a sensation will be oroat ed hy a minority report of Mr. T. C. W i 1 lough by, a member of the board of dlreotors, who oharges that, the in Btitutlon has not been conducted ae cording to sound business principles and that he has been unable to get all the light he wanted In reference to the transactions of the Penitentiary. The majority report on the other hand commonos the "wise am? suc cessful " management of Colonel Noal and expresses the belief that the Peni tentiary has a bright financial future. Mr. Wllloughby says in his report to tho Governor: As a member of . the Ponitontlary Board of Dlreotors, I beg leave to make the following report. I coneur with the majority as to the condition of the property under our charge, but In so doing I do not sanction tho man agement, whlohl am lnollned to think, from personal observation and the In formation attainable, Is not of that kind which commends itself to sound business principles. The want of economic Ideas and the glaring ex travagance is such as should call for legislative investigation and remedy. The system of bookkeeping and monthly statement in voguo in tho institution is not Buoh as throws light upon the fiscal transaction* of the in stitution, to those who like this Board, have only a limited time to examine and investigate. And my experienco in seeking information from the ac countants of the Penitentiary leads me to infor that light Is the last thing de sirable, not that I oharge anything dis honest', I only narrate my experience. The supply of the vast amount of supplies of all kinds, needed for the Penitentiary, its farms and camps, it seems to me, should be let to compe tition and awarded to the lowest re sponsible bidder, and not left as at present in tho entire. control of the superintendent. The lax manner of examining and passing accounts by the board needs legislative attention, since the board itself has failed to see tho necessity of reform on that line. . The system q contract* and hiring is to my mind \v J many instances in violation of tho Statute, and thero are irregularities and violations of iaw within my own observation which are perversive of that good order and management whioh tho public havo a right to expect of us. Iiespeotfully submitted', T. C. WlLLOTJQHBY. Floreuce, S. C, January Ith, 189?. TUE MAJORITY REPORT. The following is tho report of a ma jority of the Board of Directors, who sustain the management of Sup't. Neal. The. report is addressed to tho Gover nor: I?4>eftL^lr; We beg respoctfully to submitting fuUojvhig /?port as the board of dlrectorsofthe South Caroli na Penitentiary for fourteen months beginning the 1st of November, 1894, and ending the 31st of Docembor, 1895, tho now constitution having changed the fiscal year to January 1st, 1890, making it necessary that our report cover fourteen months. Owing to tho doath of ono of our esteemed members on November 22nd, 1895, Mr. J. M. Sprott, our Board con sists now of only four members, T. J. Cunningham, J. W. Lyle8, S. P. Gar ris and T. C. Wllloughby. The aggregate receipts for the four teen "months were $147,060.00; esti mated valueof oropson hand, $15,000.00; amount due from conviot hire and other sources, $3,242.54; making a total of $105,305.14. The disbursements wore 9144,921.88; liabilities, not includtng Reid farm, $4,087*19 ; making a total of $149,019.27, and loaving an estimated balance of $15,685.27. We are pleased to say that the prison is In first-class condition in every respect. The prisoners are being well cared for, and every de partment shows a oreditable manage ment. Wo do not deem it necessary to gO into details, as you will find annexed to this report a full and com plete statement from each officer In charge of the various departments. Tho DeSaussure farm has been paid In full. The Board thought it wise to purohaso tho "Reid farm," adjoining tho " DeSaussure farm," and did so, at a cost of $8,450. These two piac.es make a very desirable farm, aggregating 4,712 acres, and both placoB have been thoroughly cqutppod with machinery, wagons, mules, etc., at a cost of about $8,500. Tho bottom lands have been thoroughly dykod, and we believe capable of resisting froshote. These farms havo been worked tbis year by tho ponitontlary for the lir?t time. Tho institution owns seventy-nine head of mulos and horses, sixty-eight of whioh woro purchased this year. Tho only outstanding indebtedness against the penitentiary now is the pin c.i ?? ui price af the " Held farm." We take great pleasuro in saying that the condition of the penitentiary in general, under the wise and success ful management of its superintendent, Col. W. A. Neal, is all that oould be expected, and we desire tooxproBs our bigh regards for him, both as a busi ness man and a superintendent of tho ponitontlary. In conclusion, allow us to express the holiof that the penitentiary will begin the new year with a brig; t fi nancial future, as it seems to us all n. cossary improvements, for some time to conw, have been supplied. Oar business relations with tho vai ions'Oflloors and guards have been agreeable and plea-ant, and we desire to express to each of thorn our appre iatlm of tho manner In whioh they avy discharged their respective ul/os. Rospecfully, i.Cunni.v (airman. lylk8, A. ii*l\i3cl to Inaugural*? the Fertl- ! i llzor Itatt-a?The Attorney Oenernl | WIIIAhk fbr MuuiluimiK Columbia Register. The railroads seem bent on their determination to make an issue with the State on the fertilizer rate matter. It was learned yesterday that not a single road had put into effect tho rates as recently promulgated by the board, but on the contrary all of them were absolutely refusing to obey the law, notwithstanding demands had been made on them to do so. This is the time of the year when fertilizers are moved heavily'and it is of'great im portance to shipper as well as buyer that tbe reduced railroad rate should be obtained. The refusal of the roads to put the new schedule into effect meaus, of course, war between them and the Commission and in'tbe end there can bo but one result. The Commission has only one way to ! enforce their regulations and that is ' through the courts. A mandamus can ; be taken out against tbe roads and in case it is shown that they have will fully violated tbe rules of the Com mission, they aro liable to a fine of $1,000 at tbe least for each offonso. The fine may be inoreased to $5,000. The Attorney Qoneral will nt?;*e to take tbe first steps in the matter and the Commission' has already put the facts in bis possession and some action will bo taken at an early date. Tho Railroad Commission has received a number of complaints as to the roads refusing to put in operation tho new sohedule. Some days ago it was announced that the Manchester and Augusta Road had applied to Judge Simonton for an order of Injunction against the Commission. The matter was to come up on tbe 21st lost., it was said. As sistant Attorney General Townsend, who has been to Charleston, inquired at the clerk's office and was informed that no such papers bad been filed in bis office? The Commission has been serv ed with no papers and the whole matter is in a curious condition. If an order of injunction is to be argued it ought to. be with the Clerk of the Court. In a few days some legal steps will be taken whioh will ond in having the question in dispute settled one way or the other. GOSPKIi TKMI'EttANOE UNION. The Aims and Object or tho New Organization. The following facts in regard to the Qospel Temporanoe Union, now being organized in this S'lte, have boon obtained by the Co.imbia Register from a gentleman who is familiar with the subject: The new organization whioh is now being formed in tbe several churches of this city, and elsewhere throughout tbe State, comes out of the suggestion of Rev. Li. L. Abbott, a Baptist minis ter, who has devoted himself to tbe cause of temperance, and In several States has sucoessfull developed the idea of uniting Christians of all creeds in the effort to counteract the evils of the liquor tratHo as a part of their regular oburch work, and as an obli gation laid on tbem as members of tho body of Christ. The purpose is formulated in the fol lowing pledge, which when signed by one, constitutes him a member of tho ?? Union:" u IN GOD WE TRUST." "Believing the liquor traffic to bo one of the most prolific sources of misery and crime in our country, and standing direotly in the way of tbe progress of tho cause of Christ, we hereby unite ourselves in organiza tion, ' In His Name' for its suppres sion." It will be observed that this is a pledge to unite in His Namo " for the suppression of tbe liquor traffic During the past fow weeks, a large number oL members of ?he various churches in the city havo signed tho obligation, and all the city pastors ex cepting four have done so. la most of the churches, Unions have been regu larly formed or aro in process of for mation, and a central " Unionhas beei organized with an oxeoutivu committee to direct the devoiopmont of tho organization throughout, tho State. Tho principal work of this com mittee so far has beon by general cor respondence with the clorgy of the various doinoninatlons, to ascertain their opinion as to tho status of the liquor traffic as conducted by tho Stato through its system of Dispeusaries. Tho committee have become fully rationed that there is widespread dis satisfaction with tbe operation ami e r feet of the system, and ?hat-abmo ef fort should ho made-tb secure suoh ohange in .tho law as will-make it ac oeptable to tho Christian eontiment of '"those who are by the bond of their citizenship parties to its support. About one hundred and twenty-live responses have been mado to inquiries of the committee from ministers repre senting the Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist and Lutheran Churohos, in all parts, of the State who say that in their opinion the Dis, pensary law should at once bo amend ed so as to provide: 1st. That intoxicating liquors sboald be dispensed only for scientific, medi cinal, mechanical and sacramental uses. 2d. That sales for these purposes should bo made only with profits suf ficient to cover the expenses of dis pensing tho same. For some of those ministers, who are as a olass in the best position to know whereof tbey speak, comos the strongest expiessions of condemnation of the administration and effects of tho present system. An Episcopal minister well known throughout the Stato expresses the belief "that it is encouraging and in creasing the use of intoxicating liquors, and giving respectability to tho traffic by the sanction of tho State as the bar-keeper." An equally eminent minister and educator of the Lutheran Church says: " Its enforcement has not diminish ed drinking and drunkness, and has added fearfully to the catalogue of bloody Crimea all over the State," and adds: "This law may be said like the laws of Draco to have been written in blood." From all these indications oi the Christian sentiment of the people of the State the committee assuredly gather that the time has come when an effort ought to bo mado to securo suoh ohanges is the law as will re deem it from being an agonoy which can only make it a powor for evil to the people. It is the object of the present Union movement to unify and oonceutrate this Christian sentiment, and dlreot it in an appeal to the Legislature to amend tbe law as suggested. This seems an opportune time to effect any desirable ohanges as the now Consti tution has removed any possibility of a return to tbe lioenso saloon system, and left it with the Legislature to reg ulato tho Dispensary system in ac cordance with the wishes of the peo ple. ?Statistics furnished from official sources show that only 1,782? miles of new railroad were built in the United States during 1805.

TO AN? *?ANY. Western and Northern Capital Inter ested in the Knterpiiwe?Work to the Westward to be Wtigun at Once i.'liarkst011 Sunday News. The negotiations which have been pond log (or the past three weeks be twocn the Greenwood, Anderson and Western Railway and the Carolina Midland Railway for the lease and op tion to purchase the latter were eon- ! eluded yesterday, when all of the pa pers connected with the matter were approved by the respective counsel of the parties interest and arrange ments made for tho turning over of the possession of the property on next Wednesday. The parties who leased the road and who contemplate jjnr ohaeing it and extending it westward are men of large means and oonsldera able railroad experience, and carefully examined Into the situation before concluding their negotiations. It Is Btatud that lmmmediate arrangements will be made to extend tho road in the direotlon of Greenwood. 80 far as the Southern terminus is concerned It will probably bo either Charleston or Savannah, dependent upon what en couragement Is given to the projectors of the enterprise to go to either city. The lease has been guaranteed by the American Banking and Trust Company of Baltimore, Md., a large and influential trust and surety com pany, and It Is understood that this corporation will also be trustee under the mortgage when the extension is begun and the new bonds Issued. The officers of the new road are as follows: Mike Brown, president and treasurer ; J. L. Villalonga, vice,presi dent; T. M. Mordeoal, general oounsel; L. G. Harris, superintendent; Thomas B. Lee, ohief engineer. Col. Mike Brown, who is president of tho hew railroad company, has been in the olty for some weeks, and he was found by a reporter for The Sun day News at the Charleston Hotel yesterday. * He said that he did not feel at liberty to discuss all of tho plans of his new company at this time, but that* there were some matters of interest to Charleston whioh he would be glad to talk about. Col. Brown said that some of the plans of the company were matured, while othors wero merely In process of completion, and this faot would, he thought, ac count to the public for his silence on certain points. He said that the first objective point of his road would i> Batoeburg, and the second would be Greenwood. Men of known ability wero interested in the enterprise with him and whatever plans wero finally agreed upon wouli be carried out. The first step which ho would take would be to put a full corps of engi neers in the field, with instructions to survey at onco a route from tho wes tern terminus of the Carolina Midland to Batesburg, from there to Green wood, and from that point lines to An derson and Greenville respectfully. In regard to the southern and south eastern terminus he was not prepared to speak so confidently. Ho was in clined personally to make such ar rangements as would bring his road to Charleston, but Savannah had certain claims which Could not be neglected. One thing ho would say, howevor, and that was that he was ready to moot any fair proposition that Charleston might have to make. Charleston had been trying to build a road to tho West and there had been end.ess talk on that subject. If Charleston meant business she could show her hand. It was just about eighty milos from Charleston to tho southern terminus of his road, and he was ready to sign a contract to build eighty miles If Charleston's Construction Company or any party of reputable business men of this city would agree to fill up that gap. Col. Brown said that Savannah was, he believed, anxious to havo the road extended to her limits. He had had assurances from leading busines men j on the subject, and he knew Savannah 1 business well enough to know that they , meant what thoy said. Whon ho was j building the South-Bound Hoad he had I found Savannah men full of onorgy and ; enterprise and ready at all times to work for their town, and he believed that the. present enterprise would be ? ono that would command their support. TO COTTON GROWKItS. Good Adviee and Good Wishes From an Unfamiliar Source. j New York Mart and Kxpress. j . Tho city of Memphis will ho tho 1 scone, on January 21, of another im ! port an t demonstration of tho Amorican Cotton Growers' Protective Associa tion, an organization whioh was called into existence by the manipulation of the cotton market speculators, and which did good service for the planters last year by bringing about a consider able reduction of acreage and a conse quent increase in the prico of the staple. The leaders in tho Association claim to havo discovered that the cotton bears aro circulating reports of tho growers' intention to enormously increase, the acreage and extend the use of commorciul fertilizers during the coming soason, which would result iu a crop of from 10,000,000 to 12,000, 000 bales. These reports, It is alloged, are circulated without any foundation of fact, and in ordor that the Southern people may be induced to sou the balance of tho crop on hand at present unsatisfactory figures. The object of the approaching meeting is to arrange for a moderate decrease of acreage, on the principle that the planter will be hotter off with a crop of from 7,000,000 to 7,500.000 bales, selling at 10 to 11 cents, than with a 10,000,000 bale crop selling at 5 to 0 cents. The planters naturally regard the boars of New York, Now Orleans and Liverpool as their natural foos, and propose henceforth to bo masters of tho situation and controllers of their own property. They repudiate politloal in fluences, and by invitations to all agri cultural SOOletles to participate in their deliberations take the surest means of counteracting any disastrous oonse quonces to the cotton-growing belt by (Ie.voting unused cotton acreage to tho growth of other crops. It is hardly to be expected that the cotton manufacturers not dlreotly as sociated In Interests with the planters will view with complacency this con tinued aggressiveness on the part of the association. But ws aro bound to recognize the justice of their attitude, when we remember that it is in lino with that Southern reawakening whioh promises so much as a factor In our national prosperity, and that the South oan never assume the importance in our commeroial advancement to whioh It is entitled unless it forces the fight <n defense of its greatest staple. The Memphis meeting will be merely the tlrat urvstallvsation of the spirit born of tho Atlanta ox position. Weak and Nervous Describes the condition of heg inds of people at this season.

The New* and Courier'* Price Contests for 1896. Our offer of prizes to the most successful hog growers In tho state iu 1M*> was produo tivo of bo good results by arousing und pro moting intorost luun important but uogleotod agricultural industry and inducing many lurniors to engage in it again to tholrown pro lit and with largo bonetit to tho state, that wo havo determined to organize another Compe tition for tho year It 06, aud to extend it so as to luoludo a s at let > of products und to onllst a still larger number of farmers in it. Tho details of tho contest havo uot yet been arranged, but will bo announced at an early day and lu good timo for tho duo Information of all who may desire to engngo in it. Wo cannot do moro to-day than give a very gen eral idea of its scope, its limitations In part, and its objects, with tho understanding that the sohoiuo as bore outlluod Is subject to what ever modifications may bo found T??-bo nocos sary before tho tlnal auuouncoraout of condi tions Is luado. The competition will bo limited to subscrib ers to tho Weokly Nowb und ?"burlor. Tho prizes will consist of flvo hundred dol lars in cash, and ono gold modal and ono sil ver modal. Tho llvo hundred dollars will bo dlvidod into prizes of ono hundred d .liars and fifty dollars, to bo paid to tho winners in tho sovoral contests. Tho moduls will bo In dependent of tho cash prizes, aud subject to Hoparato competition, so that no contestant can receive both a medal and a cash prize for tho samo thing. ' One of tho contests will bo for hogs aguiu, but under somowhat dltiorent conditions from tho contest of 1805. Wo leurnvd last year, When too late to ohaugo tho published condi tions materially withoututTeoting sumo of tho contestants unfairly, thut tho restriction of tho contest to pigs born iu 1.05 exoludod some that might properly huvo boon ontorod, and that would bavo been onterod but for that limitation. Wo rouko the timely and dullulto announcomont now. theroforo, thut tho hog contest for It OB will begin on March 1: will lOSO UOO days later; and will bo open to all pigs not ovor 4 months old on Murch 1. Those terms, of course, will permit tho entry of pigs born in Novoinbor und December, 18HT>, as well us thoso born In 1BINI. und wo think aro both proper and llboral for tho purposes of tho competition. Anothor contest will ho organized for- tho best exhibit of hay?using tho word In the widest, senso. to luoludo all kinds of "long foou " or"forago' asolovor, timothy, nlfiilfti, lie 11 in id a and other grasses separate ormix od. corn fodder, pea vines, plnuar vinos, oto., etc. Tho conditions of this contest will prob ably relate .to tho yield per acre for u stated number of acres, and to tho quality of tho product as determined by Its selling prico iu tho Charleston market. Tho Nows and Courier has a special regard, of courso, for tho tolmcco crop, which Capt. Dnwson was so largoly instrumental hi re-oe tabllshlng In South Carolina, and is desirous of promoting and oxtondlng tho cultivation of tho plant as far as pructicublo. A prlzo will ho given to tho farmer who makes tho most profitable crop on ono aero, so as to al low both lurgo and small farmers to compote for it on an equal footing. The (imillty of tho tobacco will count hcuvlly In such a con test, of course.but quality ulouu or yield alone, or quality und yield together will uot insure tho capture of tho prize. As now proposed tho farmer will win it who "clours" tho most monoy from an aero, and tolls his follow f.rmors how he managed to do so. and* theso i conditions evidently will glvo every tobacco I grower a fair chance and mnko tho content both interesting and instructive I Anothor and very general, but highly in tensely und profltablo, contest will bo organ ized for progressive "all round" farmers, by tho offor of a prlzo for tho best results obtain ed from diversified crops grown by a singlo farmer. Tho general plan for tills contost Is that the competitors may produco what they 1 dense?cotton, coru.smull grain, tobacco, hay, 1 fruit, pindurs, truck, hogs, cows, horses sheep, 1 poultry, butter, eggs, liouoy, oto., otc.?the price to bo nwarded to the ono who shows tho largest relative profit on tho year's operations i Provided only that he produces not less than j four different kinds of Held or orchard erops I ?as corn, cotton, tobacco and hay ; or corn, peas, pindurs und potatoes; or cotton, bay, turnips and outs; or pouches, cotton, water melons and corn; or grapes, corn, whent und cabbages, und ho on t hrounh u hundred possi ble combinations of the larger "plough crops" with whatever additions may bo made iu the way of raisin/ cattle, sheep aud hogs UIKI poultry, bee-keeping, butter-nuiklng, garden ing f?#r market, etc.. etc. The purnoso of the contest Is to prove that diversified" and ' all round" farming pays in South Carolin*, niul to exhibit the proofs und glvo public recog nition to the 1 a inn -1- thut makes the bost show lug. ? ' Small und lurgo farmers can compete foi this prlzo on equal terms.

The prize cannot be won by spend ing time and labor and monoy 00 one or twt crops. It Is most desirable that more at tent im should be paid In this State to the Indust ry oi sheep raising, which could lie developed tx important proport ions, if tho furmors wotik take hold >f it In earnest. Anothor prize wil bo offered In tho interest of this Industry. Another will ho offered to bo competed foi by tho fruit growers, who huvo already futrlj orgunlzed one of the most promising new In dusiries iu tho State, but will bo fntorostot doubtless in u contest which will show wlu is the lead< in this pleasant and profltabif Hold or endeavor. - * - Last, but not least in the order of merit and interest, will bo tho prize to be contested foi by the women of the Stuto who uro working I OH the tarne; tu hard US their husbands an.
