_ Got. Evaus* Message.
The Governor has discharged his
constitutional duty in sending a com
munication to the General Assembly
advising that body of tho conditions of
tho Stato. Tho paper is a very long
ono and discusses fully tho matters pro*
per in his opinion for lcgislatlvo ac
tion. Of course it is advisory only but
as the Assembly is ovorwhelmlngly of
the Governors political comploxlon,
outside of tho morlt of his suggestions,
thoy are likely to carry groat weight.
As a rule It suggosts economy In deal
ing with the resources of the State,
except in tho matters of reducing the
volume of offices, salarios, and the In
oreaslng and dangerously lnoroaslng
patronage of the Executive. Sooner
or Later tho Stato will awake to this
view and to tho fact that tho Governor
is a member of too many boards and as
has boon said before and wo repeat
boards are in their essenco "screens."
This Is not moant a s criticism of Gov
ernor Evans, but In refereucc to tho
tendency to Imposo upon tho Govornor
duties ovor which a Governor ought to
exorcise scrutiny, and our remarks ap
ply to any future Govornor. Por In
stance the Govornor ought not to be In
the dispensary business, handling tens
of thousands of tho State's monoy. Ho
should hold tho whip hand and super
vision of these things 'instead of bolng
MAJOR PARS of thom. Tho Govornor
yields the point that It is impossible to
have in tho State an honest return of
personal property for taxation, a point
that ought not to bo yielded and tho
j^eglslaturo should havo boon stoutly
Hrged to stringent laws on this lino.?
Tho temper of tho message is not bad;
there is much to commend, while it
[evidences industry and a study of tho
[economical problems before tho people
of the State. He urges tho members
to get down to thoir work, and make no
' waste of time and the monoy of tho
people. A broad and liberal view of
the eduoational Institutions is takon,
the colleges and common schools, and
thoy aro insisted to bo maintained
economically, but not niggardly. As
the propositions arise for legislation
and discussion wo propose to discuss
thom. Tho work ought to bo done in
thirty days, says tho Governor, but we
tear his hopes will not be realised.?
One new feature for raising revenue in
South Carolina is the matter advlsod
of taxing Incomes over $1000. It Is
doubtful if this measure, which in
volves scrutiny, espionage, and a spe
cies of oaves-dropping into private af
fairs, will suit the genius of our peo
ple. The measure will/be urged, how
ever, and we wait the details of the
scheme, for further comment.
Two More Judges.
That Justice may bo quick and live
ly, it Is proposed'to creato two more cir
cuits and elect two more circuit judges
at $3,000 salaries. This will make two
more solicitors at $1,500 each. It is ar
gued that tho jails will bo promptly de
livered of prisoners and the extra ex
pense would bo thus saved. It may bo
so on paper, but tho point is, how it
a ?v^ll worij out In n/aotlco. By tho same
process of reasoning wo could multi
ply our judges and solicitors until tho
courts would cost us nothing?In fact
bring in a revenue. We aro in for re
tronohment and economy. At this bar
for the last four years at each court
every caeo ready for trial has boon
heard and every calendar finished to
the foot. Tho trouble lies In the fel
low to be hung wanting a continuance,
or the side that has tho short ond of
tho single treo, and so would you.
Looking Out for 1.aureus.
Our Columbia oxohangea felicitate
themselves upon tho now schedule bo

that It will bo a groat thing for Laurons,
as a Laurenslan oan leave home at six

Columbia and return in- time to got his

add, that it Is a blossed chango for the

In his message Gov. Evans applauds
the noble generosity of certain Attor
neys at law who volunteered without
pay to aid the Administration in its
multiplicity of law suits. This is won
derful; you have worked a miracle or
touched closely upon it when you have
soitened the hearts of these gentry.?
Pobably they-are hybernat]ng and
living like the boar in comfortable
quarters upon the fat fees already paid
them by the State. This merits being
looked into; examine tho appropriation
bills o( the last four years. Governor
Evans recommends that they bo paid,
any way. The Legislature will bo
called upon to vote an appropriation.?
It remains to be seen if they will ac
cept as a bonne-boucho that thoy have
refused as vulgar compensation.
The marriage of Belmont, a divorced
man, to Alva Smith Vandorbllt, a dl- I
vorced woman, has engaged tho atten
tion of the country. Mayor Strong of
Now York performed the ceremony in
tho palace of lady Vandorbilt. Tho
fact that tho lady has an Income of two
hundred thousand Is the point of tntor
est In (ho case. If tho lady had been
some poor body, the incldont would
scarcely have attracted attontlon. In
that case evon Tub Advertiser and
its many roaders might havo over

Curly headed Johny MoLaurin who

would suspect tho contrary. Tom Roed

likely select weak democrats to serve
with republicans. Strong rulors usually
select weaklings and fool? to servo In

NEUDORF CONVENT PRISON.
Whore Austrian Female Murderors Lcnvo
the World and Start Life Afresh.
Tho women iu tho Nendorf, Couvent
prison wore all so kiudly in thoir ways,
so peaceful aud good humored, they
differed so completely from our preoou
ooived ideas of criminals, that wo wore
puzzled to imagine what could hnvo
brought thom into prison. Wo had never
a doubt but that thoir offenses wi re of
tho most trivial nature, nud wo suid SO.
Tho superior gavo us one of her odd,
humorous smiles.
"Did you notice that woman in tho
corridor?" sho asked. "She is Mario
Sohneidor.''

deprccativo smilo to allow ua to pass,

moro murders on her conscience thau
sho has fingers on her hands 1
"And you lot her stay bore?"
"Wo havo nowhoro 6lso topnthor,"
the inspector, who bud joined ua, re
plied, "nud wo don't haug women in
Austria."
Nor is sho, as wo soon found, tho on
ly notoriety in tho placo. Ono of -tho
prisoners is n dolicnto looking girl, with
largo brown oyes nud golden hair?a
type of beauty almost peculiar to Aus
trian. Sho bus a low, cooing voico oud
a singularly sweet, innocent oxpressiou.
"What on earth can that girl havo
douo to be acut horo?" I whispered.
"Douo?" tho iuspootor replied grim
ly. "Set a houso on firo in tho hope of
killing a man with his wife aud five

Tho girl must havo had extraordi
narily sharp oars, for, although wo
Wore standing at somo diatauco away,

diabolic; had thoro been a knife within

spot. Yet only n inomont before she had

Soveral of tho prisoners aro in tho con
vent for killing their own children;
some for killing or trying to kill their
husbands ; others for stealing or embez
zling; others again for no moro serious
crime than begging. Thoro are all de
grees of guilt thent, in fact, aud all
ages, from girls of 10 to women of near
ly 80. And thoy all livo together ou
terms of perfect equality, for there aro
no distinctions of rank there?no ono is

preserved by Mr. Stephens is thorough

ho way in lovo, and as soon as ho readi
ed 31 ho oft'ored marriage and was ae
ceptod. Sonic opposition from Frconian's
own kinsfolk seemed tho only hindranco

created by tho sensitiveness of Free
man's own conscience. "Ho had ex
pectations of a sufficient income, but it
was partly derived from coal mines,and
tlio shocking disclosures recoutly made
respecting tho treatment of colliors
made him doubt whether ho could con
scientiously draw an incomo from that

The best and purest Drugs in the world are of no service, or
arc dangerous, if they are not handled carefully. This is a matter
which is always uppermost in our mind?carefulness* Care in
choosing the right bottle?care in measuring or weighing the right
dose. It is our constant aim to be the kind of Druggist to whom
people can go with confidence when perhaps the lives of loved ones
depend upon the care, accuracy and knowledge of the man who
fixes the remedies used. The worn out phrase, "Prescriptions
carefully compounded," looks as ludicrous upon some signs as
1 would "God Bless Our Home" upon the walls of a cell in the
County jail. "Do men gather grapes of thorns?" With care and
accuracy we endeavor to combine their twin cousins?Neatness and
Fair Prices.
Appreciating the confidence bestowed upon us in 1895 we shall
strive to be more worthy of it during 1896, which for each and all
we hope has many blessings in store,
