and was a member of the State
Returning Board which voted
the certificate of election to the

^ iunty govern
ment which was inaugurated in
the year 1894 was regarded as
an experiment, and in order to
see with what success the law
had met I bad prepared and for
warded to the various counties
of the State the following cir
cular letter, the answers to
which are herewith given for
your information:
1. By what system are the
public roads of youj county
worked^ convict, contract or
otherwise?
2. What is the condition of
your highways, bridges, etc., as
compared to the old system?
How does the ooet compare?
3. On an average, how many
convicts do you work?
4. Does the chain gang tend
to decrease crime?
5. Are the public funds as
economically and as satisfac
torily expended finder the coun
ty government law as under the
old system? If possible, give
statistics.
6. Are county affairs in gen
eral satisfactorily administered
under this law?
7. Have you anv suggestions
tending to strengthen and p<
feet the system?
The Governor reports that the
answers to these questions re
ceived from the County Super
visor of Darlington County
were as follows:
1. By both contract and con
vict systems.
2. The roads and bridges are
now about 60 per cent better
with about the same cost as
heretofore.
3. We work about eleven con
victs.
4. Crime has decreased about
30 to 40 per cent.
6. We can do the county
work under the present system
for 20 per cent less money.
6. No^al together satisfactory,
but quite an improvement on
the old system.
7. I suggest that prisoners be
allowed some reward for good
behavior and be punished for
bad behavior.

He is so broad and liberal in
ideas and sympathies that
though a.democrat his labors as
a representative are not confin
ed by any means to the mem
bers of one race or party. Like
Cummings of New York and
Sayers of Texas, he represents
the twentieth century demo
crats, who will so broaden and
liberalise its principles and cus
toms that if will be able to take
within its comprehensive folds
men of all races and creeds on
principle and not for the loaves
and fishes. Ue represents the
climax of the leaven that has
been thrown into Southern
civilisation, that will yet revo
lutionise and civilize that be
nighted section and make it a
fit place for civilized beings.
Couldn’t Vote Agintt Him.
(Wuhington Post.)
In the examination of the
witnesses alleging election
frauds in the recent Congres
sional elections in South Caro
lina, many amusing things were
developed. It seems that the
negro candidate, the Rev. Wil
son, thought that he was entitl
ed to the seat of the Hon. John
L. McLaurin in the house of Rep
resentatives. The witnesses tor
Wilson were all negroes. One
of them was being examined by
Mr. McLaurin’s attorney. The
attorney asked him why he
thought that Wilson was entitl
ed to the seat, when it was
plainly to be seen that Mr. Me
Laurin was elected by a large
majority of the votes cast.
“Here is a list of over two
hundred persons,” replied the
colored man, “who were at the
polls, and if they had been al
lowed to vote, it would have
been for the Rev. Mr. Wilson.
He thought on that account Mr.
Wilson should have been elect
ed.
Mr. McLaurin’s attorney
took the list and asked the wit
ness if he could remember the
names of all who were there, and
if be knew them personally
The colored man answered in
the affirmative and the attorney
aaked him if George Smith had
been there.
“Yes,” said the witness.
After Milling out several more
names and receiving the same
answer, he asked: ‘•Was T. B.
Reed there?”
“Yes,” the witness replied.
“Was Benjamin Harrison
there?”
“Yea,” was the answer.
“Was William McKinley
there?”
i reply was “yes ”

Not Equal to High Licansa,
(New Orleans Times-Union.)
As for the South Carolina
method of collecting this rev
enue, through the absolute con
trol of the liquor business by
means of dispensaries, there is
nothing in the report of last
year’s business to recommend
it to the other States. It may
be making more money than it
did at first, but after all it is
not getting as much as high
license would bring it, and ia
suffering not only fromthe stig
ma of carrying on the liquor
business, but is put to many an
noyances, supporting an exten
sive spy system and outraging
a large portion of its popula
tion.
As for the temperance side of
the question, there is nothing in
the dispensary system torecom
mend it. It is not as effective
as high license, for it increases
“blind tigers” and similar ille
gal saloons. In fine, the report
of last year’s operations of the
South Carolina dispensary show
it not to be the equal in any
way of the high license system,
iu the revenue it produces, or in
assuring temperance or preserv-
it is
ing order.
probable
not p:
that any State will follow the
bid example of South Carolina
in this matter.
