report of tho operations of the
Penitentiary for the past, year has
boea issued, and a most excellent
bowing 1? mudo. The institution
ogins tho Now Year with a nioo sur
>lu8 and tho linaaoial prospects are
aright. 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.

WANTS AN INVESTIGATION.
One of the Penitentiary Dlreotors
Charges Hxtravagauce on the Part
<>(' the Superintendent.
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',

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,

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.

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

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.

a. woman is proving an aotive factor
in the Cuban revolution and should I
tbe revolutionists succeed -in over
throwing Spanish-rule in their beautt
ful island, among the first to receive
substantial gratitude for aid and com
fort will be Son?rlta Leouor Perez ae
la Riva, of Santiago de Cuba. The
senorita is practical ly the only writer
in Cuba who has dared to defy the
government. For years she has been
writing stirring songs and poems, all
designed to keep up the oourage of
her countrymen. She was born just
twenty years ago in Santiago de Cuba,
where she has resided almost con
tinuously ever-since. Her verses and !
songs, pearly all touching upon her
beloved native island, and filled with
the tenderept yet strongest patriotism,
are known eveiy where in Cubia, and
tbe sparkling-eyed daughter of tbe
tropics is one of the most admired
Cuban women.
Some of her latest verses, dedicated
to the cause of the revolution, have
been pronounoed seditous by the
government censors, and tbe pretty
senorlta has been threatened with
imprisonment; but she has a brave
heart and declared her iatention to
continue to write its promptings.
?Bishop Paret, of Baltimore, tolls a
good story at his own expense. He
was recently on a train, and near him
sat two drunken men. Presently one
of the men, wilh a forcible expletive,
remarked to the other that some ono
had robbed him of a $20 bill. His
friend romarkod : " Ob, I guees not;
you must have it about you some
where." But the other insisted be
hadn't, and that he had tho bill when
he oame aboard the train. Sorao ono
had robbed him and bo proposed to find
it if he bad to search the whole crowd.
" As it happened," says Bishop Paret,
" I had a $20 bill, and that was all, and
as T was the nearest man to them, and
tho first likely to he approached, I folt
a little uncomfortable. Thon It oc
curred to mo to pretend to bo asleop.
Sure enough, in a minute or more I I
was accosted with : ' 1 say, neighbor,'
but I made no answer. Then the man
grabbod my arm and shook me, but to
no-use, as I didn't wake up. Ho kopt
on shaking, however, and always a
little more forcibly," ??Until at last his
friend interposed with : '"I'say, Bill,
let him alono, will you ; he's drunkerjn
you aro." ^
M Going into a decline." How often
do we hear this expression. What
does it mean ? It moans that people
are losing flesh, growing thin, wasting.
Tho way to correct this condition is
to improve tho digestion. Tho condi
tion arises from an inabillby to cat and
digest food. In fact food does more
I harm than good beeause it ferments
and putrefies in tho stomach, develop
ing poisonous substances which when
absorbed cause various disorders.
What is required is that the stomach
bo made to perform its duties. Tho
Shaker Digestive Cordial Is a food
already digested and a digester of foods
as well. It will mako the stomach
healthy. Get a book from the druggist
and read about it.'

?The Journal of Inebriety estimates
tbe total- number of drunkards in

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 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 highest "prof
it" made per acre for tho whole luunber ol
acres employed on tho farm, und including
everything mado on the farm, will detcriuiiu
the winner, whether he farms ten aces or f
thousand. 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

dusiries iu tho State, but will bo fntorostot
