Although the question of establishing a reformatory in this Statu has been talked of onlv a few dava in the newspapers, the subject seems to have already tukon hold of the people and the idea has met with great endorsement. The only thing which will prevent the establishment of the institution will be tho matter of money, though doubtless legislators can find some way of raising the necessary revenue. The following has been received by tho Columbia Register on the subject: As mention litis been inado of my name in connection with the subject of a reformatory iu this State for young conviets, us being interested in the work, I would say further I deem the project of greAt importuueo and should bo speedily attended to. I will not take your space to discuss the matter at this time, but will Bay that this subject was well discussed by tho Constitutional Convention, und my recollection is that tho convention favored it absolutely aud would have made it a constitutional measure but for tho fact that it was considered properly a work for the legislature. They did say, Sec. 7 Art. 12 of Constitution: "Provision nmy bo made by the General Assembly for the establishment and muintenaco by the State of a reformatory for juvcuilo offenders separate ami apart from hardened criminals." This was virtually a decision ! in favor of the scheme by tho convention and I take it ihut tho General Assembly will lose no time iu laying the foundation for this important movornout. 1 may tuko occasion later to publish further matter concerning it in tho way of fucts und information as to plans, etc., as a basis for the work. This d 11 tii I hnvo compiled us picked up by an extended trip North in tho year 1888, visiting prisons for the purpose of the advancement of our own institution. I made a careful inspection into tho workings of tho prisons, reformatories and industaial schools in the cities of New York, Buffalo, Eltuira, Rochestor, Toronto, Boston and Concord. Upon my return to tho State I published a treatise upon tho subject of the Penitentiary and submitted it to tho Legislature in 1890. This paper has not been forgotten and will bo reproduced in time. Iam suro that our people nre alivo to tho insurance of a general improvement in tho matter ot our convict system so long neglected. Tho Legislature will take tho subject up. Tho work proposed can bo elleetcd with littlo or no additional cost to the general expenso of tho management oi tho Penitentiary. 1 would bo glad to correspond with any members of the General Assembly who may feel interested iu this subject. N. W. Bkookhr. .. In Court for u Child. At Yorkville Judge Watts dismissed tho petition and writ of Robert Anderson iu habeas corpus for tho possession of his foster-daughter.

Tho Spartanburg correspondent of tho Columbia Register says thero was oueo a Spartanburg girl, whose name I havo not learned, who is now tho wife I of a man in Georgia who has been divorced tho third time. This man found his first two wives in Georgia, being divorced from them in a succession of a few years. Ho came to South Carolina, married a Spartan girl, carried hor to Georgia, lived with her a few v< ars and was divorced a third time. Later ho wooed his former Spartan girl and married her a second time and they aro now living apparently huppy in Georgia. ? A Circus Siiuish-t p. At Spartanburg a smash-up occurred i at tho Southern depot in which an cloj pliant belonging to tho Forepaugh and I Sells' circus was seriously injured and ! one of their ears and a quantity of ' freight demolished.

Ilradstreot's businest review for the past week snys last week's disappointment at the lack of domnnd in general lines cotinues ?tho intervention of a holiday having made trade quiter and tho volume smaller. At some points of distribution there is no change in tho situation. The most encouraging reports are of an Improved tone of trade and a favorable outlook for 1897. Tho larger number of changes in prices of staples were downward and weak, petroleum, hides, npples, cotton nail wheat (lour being lower, in addition to prices of metals. Unchanged quotations are reported for woo), print cloths, leather, pork, sugar and eofTee, while tho leading cereals, wheat, corn and oats, opened with advances, as a.so prices for leaf lard and tin. Tho reaction iti tho demand which appeared immediately after tho election, together with tho intervention of tho Thanksgiving holiday, accounts for tho sharp reduction in total bank clearings throughout tho country, tho total for which is ?1)40,000,000 this week, nearly '24 per cent, smaller than last week, hut 7.5 per cent, larger than in the corresponding week one year ugo.

In my early lite I followed the nvooatlm of'fisherman, In which by exposure I contracted rheumatism, from wbton I suffered more or leas for many years. About three years ago, I aroee one morning to find myself crippled, and the least exertion brought on most excruciating pains, so that I was forced to seek relief by going to bed and remaining motionless. Oar family physician was immediately summoned, and he began the usual oourse of reessdles bat Instead of he] Dins me I became worse. Mv joints, especially in my left arm were inflamed and hot. I suffered much from derangement of the heart, and constant sweats, which were of a sour, ill smelting nature. My appetite failed me, my tongue was thickly coated, nnd altogether 1 was la a bad gay. In addition to thin, worrlmeat of mind because I could not attend to the spring work on two farms which I owned,^made my condition deplorable. "While in this unhappy state, my friend, Mr. Amos Jaqnays, of Columbus Centre, hearing of my illness, came over and reoom- i mended me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which he said had cured him of kidney disease. He nlso stated that Wllilnm Woodman, whom I had known to be a terrible rheumatic sufferer all his life, was through this ] , remedy now In the best of health. i1 'To make a long story short, I sent over | < to Mr. Silas York, who keeps a store and . 1 soils groceries by wagon through the county, for a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, j and began to take them according to directions. The results of the new treatment were astonishing, as after taking nine of the : pills I was at work und ever since have done ' my full share of labor. "Pink Pills aro now our physician. We always keep them in the house, and doctors bids have oe&sed to bo a part of the family expenses.

Early Honrs. As wo grow older we learn wisdom In this matter. The gray-haired parent, whose dancing days are over, and whose limbs are not elastic, Is glad to hasten bed-time, and to leave his daughters to their foolish Joy In the late hours, lie would lengthen his nights In spite of his difficulty In sleeping. Very few persons over 00 years ojo can; 10 su up liner 11 o ciock ill tho evening, anil would rather bo Invisible at an earlier hour. Old ago may not need more sleep than youth, but It is more covetous of sleep, and sooner disgusted with the day's excitement. "Go to bed early" is the advice which the elders give to the younger race, all the more emphatic as they remember their own sins In this kind In the former years, and wonder that they could have taken such needless risks in those night frolics. That Is the advice, too, of the medical Journals and men. Was there ever a wise physician who would counsel his patients to sit up until midnight as a rule, or even as a frequent exception? The wisdom In this matter, nevertheless. Is of the kind that comes by experience, and the sage warning of tho olderu Is oftenest unheeded. The Chinese are throwing a little light on the coal trust.
