PeOfnnylvia, anid son,h I Carollmia. 1774-1777. "As an expressionl of continues friendship, the common01weailt h o Pennsylvania, ini Which the Conti nental Congress mset, dedicates thil building t.o the State of South Caro lina, which fturnished two president of that pa.ioti ...embly, 1901-- I 102." That is the inscription over tli great fireplaces in the Pennsylvania Building at the Charloston Exposi. tion. This building constitutes one of the most significant chapters in the now history of old Charleston. It is not only significant of the good will andH sympathy of the descendants of Father Penn for their follow coun t rymen of tho Sout h, great and grati fying as they are, but has the added significance of a strong commercial ismr which is equally gratifying. Al ready the Trades League of Phila delphia, one of the most potent or. ganizations of the country, has taken up the idea of direct steamer commu nication betwf-en Philadelphia, Char leston and the West Indies, and if the West Indies, why not South America? Philadelphia has been the site of a great ship building in harbor which is fretted at regular dustry for many years our in dustry hampered by a contracted intervals by great fields of ice, and where all outdoor work is impossible at times. Her emissaries must see that at Charleston exist all the possi bilities for the greatest shipyard in America. Timber, iron, steel, cheap labor, abundant dockage and harbor facilities, already the chosen site of one of the general government's naval stations, and a climate which makes out door labor, not only possi ble, but plernsant, every day in the year. In fact Charleston is being rediscovered by these gentlemen of the East, and there is every reason to hope that the discovery will result in mutual good from a commercial view point, as it, has already resulted inI a genuiue feeling of kindness and good will. When Gov. stone gathers his cohorts and goes down to cele brate the Pennsylvania Day at the Exposition on April 10, neither he . nor they will have reason to regret their neighborliness.

The first steps towards the opening of the biennial campaign are to be taken next n'onth. The city and county Democratic clubs all over the State are to hold their meetings for the purpose of ro organization and electing members of the county ox ecutive committees, and transacting such other business as may come be. fore them, on the fourth Satuiday in April, which falls this year on the 26th. Then the next stop will be the holding of the county conventions to elect delegates to the State conven tion to twice the number of repre gentatives the county I as in the general assembly, to choose a county chairman, and express views on any question that may be before the peo ple. These conventions will be com posed of delegates elected by the elubs, one for each 25 members on 1he club roll and one for each ma jority fraction thereof. The county conventions will be held throughout he State on the first Monday in May -the 4th. Then will come the State conven. ,ion on the third Wednesday in May -the 21st this year. It will have o transact all the usual business of the State convention of the party. It appears now that one of the principal matters will be the pro posed reduction of the number of !ampaign meetings from forty to a 3onsiderably smaller number. The matter is being agitated just now, md it is considered likely that the rarce of going to every county seat will be stopped. This year the State has to choose not only a successor to United States senator McLaurin and a full set of State officers, but new county oflicers will have to 1e nominated. Con gressmen also will have to be in the tield, and the redistricting of the State will make these races particu larly interesting. The roster of candidates for the various State, federal and county officers is now just beginning to fill up Thus far while many are being mentioned in connection with the various State and other officers there are many others who have rnot yet determined what they will do. COAD) WVOIEKING PL-AN. Id",&n of UinIzing Prisoners in ,Jil A waiting Trial so Th'lat They W il Not ho a Dens<i Expiense. In his address before the general assembly recently, Mr. J. A Holmes, state geolo4ist of North Carolina, advanced a novel proposition. He urged that the p)risoners who lie in jail awaiting trial be used to work the county roads. In reply, it might be urged that these prisoners could not be worked before their conviction, but Mr. Holmes does not propose to use coercion, but to allowv the pris oners the option of working the roads or of lying in jail pending the meet ing of the sessions court. Mr. Holmes produced statistics to show that the loss to South Carolina from having prisoners lie in jail is over $75,000 a year. A case may be supposedl to show where this cost arises. John Jlones might be0 comn mitted to jail in December by a mrg istrate on some trifling charge, jusnt serious enough to he beyond the juris diction of the magistrate. If the prisoner is a poo darkey, unable to give bcrnd, he rmust lie in jail until March or April, or whenever the next t,erm of the court is held, lie costs the State 20 cents for every slay he lies in jail. If he is there 30 (lays, his "dieting'" or "rashions"' bill itf $0. As there are hundreds of such cases in every county the cost aggre gates into the hundreds of dollars, and $75.750 was the total thus ex pended for the whole State in the twelvo months for which Prof. Ilotnmes had statistics. Now, his suggestion is this: That an act. be passed allowing the prisoner to make a voluntary contract with the sheriIT and county commissioners that if they will release him from jail and turn him over to the county supervisor, he will agree to be worked just ats convicted criminals are worked. That if ho is acquitted by the jury, tlien he will be paid at a fair rate of compensation for every (lay which he has spent ati work for the county. If he be convicted by the jury, he will be given credit for the number of days he has worked and this will be deducted from his sentence. There are objections which could be of'ered. For instance it might be urged that it is not humane or just to have these prisoners work alongside of convicted felons unless their guilt is certain. Futhornore, it might be said, prisoners are not to be worked on the chaingangs when the term of their servitude is for a period longer than 10 years, and the prisoner himself or nobody else might know for how long his sentence would bo. But these are details which could be considered later. Prof. Holmes made no extended defense of the suggestion. His time was limited, and he alluded to this -natter in a few brief remarks. But it is worthy of consideration, espec ially in view of the enormous annual expense of the State. No doubt many an unconvicted prisoner would prefer to be in the fresh air at work -even on the chaingang-especially as he works with the purpose of shortening his sentence or of being paid for his time if he is adjudged innocent of the charge. In other States the annual cost of keeping up or feeding prisons con fined in the county jail pending trial is much heavier than it is in South Carolina. The follow ing figures are taken from statistics compiled by Prof. Holmes in connec tion with this suggestion. In Georgia, 120 of the 137 coun ties reported. But 27 of those coun ties use convicts on the county roads, although these counties engaged the labor of 940 convicts. The num ber of prisoners reported kept in county jails in Georgia pending trial was 1,095, the average cost being 35 cents per day. The aggregate ex pense was $160,750. The average cost per convict per day forguarding, etc., was 26 cents. Georgia pays 75 cents per day for hired labor to wor k on the roads. In North Carolina reports were received from all of the 97 counties. But 24 counties in that State use con victs on th)e public highways. The numbier of convicts thus employed was 643, andl the average cost of guarding, etc., was 24 cents per day. There were 607 untried prisoners in the jail, costing the State 80 cents per (lay each; an aggregate expense of $103,750. "Free labor" on the roads costs 75 cents per day. In South Carolina 36 of the 40 counties reported. Thirty two use convict labor -579 convicts, at a cost of 18 cent per day each. There were 404 in jail awaiting trial, at a cost of 30 cents per day each, aggre gating $75,750 for the year. "Free labor" on roads -costs 75 cents a day in this State. The above statistics relate to nor mal conditions. This year the ex pense will be heavier, for in a num.. ber of counties the jury law was con tested last fall, and many prisoners wvere remanded to jail, where they remained at a heavy expense to the county until this spring. On the other hand the legislature reduced the cost of dlieting prisoners to 20 cents per dlay by general law. Here t'fore ini somie counties the fee was less than in other counties. Whether Mr. Holmes' suggestion may be wise or may be radical it calls attention to the eniornmous expense incurred through the lawlessness of men arnd. the State is now endeavoring to so utilize the labor of convicted felons that the best financial returns may be realized. The building and main taining of good roads is generally conceded to be the proper use of convicts. Republicans Adopt Crunpacker's Scheme. TO INVECTI'Al(ATr.

Washington, March 17. - The house committee on rules by a dividod vote on party linea today do cided to report the resolution of l1prosentativo tirumpackor, of In diana, for a special committee of 13 members to investigate and report on the alleged disfranchisoient of voters in 01110 of the States. '1'he two Democratic members of the cotmmittoo, ltepresentativos Rfich ardson, of Teunessee, and Under. wood, of Alabamla, protestod against. reporting the resolution. When it was ordered to be reported by t he ailirlmative votes of the lRepublican tuembers of the comn)ittoe, Speaker Henderson and ltoprosentatyives Dal zell and G rosvenor, the Denocra: of the committee conlsullted their col leagues on: the floor of the house andi began considering the advisability of expressing their dissent by resorting to the most extreme device of par liamonitary procedure, even to the extent of stopping the regular pro ceduro of t o house. That this ox trome shall be taken has not yet been decided upon, as Messrs. Richardson and Underwood, after conferring with other Deiocratic munt ibers, stated that act ion of the character contetnm plated should not be taken unless there is the most. complete concur renco by the outire minority and a determination in advance to make a most determilned cotest. To this end it is the intention to sublit the matter to a Democratic caucus proba bly on Wednesday night. A caucus already has been called for that night. to consider the Boor war. Under the caucus rules it will require unani mous consent to consider anything outside of the Boor subject. But in view of the general sentiment aitmong Democratic meubers, it is expected that unanimous consent Will be given to consider this disfranchisoelont. question. Othorwise another caucus will be called. One of the minority parliauenta rians said: - "The business of t he house is largely done by 'unanimous consent,' the courtesy of the minorit3 yielding a strict conformance to the rules. But the minority has tile power to withhold 'unlanimnous consent' and to require a constitutional vote under the rules on every qtuestion arising. Without unlanimlous consent, even the approval of thle journal will re. quire a roll call, and it will take a week to pass a bridge bill. Th le minority will be0 cautious in going to this extreme and will not take such a step unless assured inl advance of a united following. If tile step is not taken it will be only because of thte majority resorting to suich ex t remnes." It is stated that the movemenet onl thle part of the minority is directed not only against the Crtumpacker resolution, witht a view to conltestinIg its aidoptioni to thle last extremro, b)ut also to othler legislation so as to em barrass the majority at eve .y point. Tihe action of the committee onl rules ill favor of thte Orumpacker resolution will not be reported to tihe house for about tent (days as5 Repro. sentative Grosvenor who is to make thle report will be out of the city temnporarily.
