This State was among the first to try to solye the problem of making its penitentiary self-sustaining with out employing its .convicts so as to come into competition with outside labor. It leased and bought farms on Arhich it put the convicts to work.1 While this is better than employing them in making shoes, clothing and other things in which their work would come into, competition with outsido work, it does not pay, for chances must be taken on unfavor able seasons, damage by droughts, floods, &c. This system has proved so unsatis factory that the State has given up its farms in Anson county and would save money by getting rid of its farms on the l?oanoke, in which it invested about &70.00J and where it has lost in the past two years about $45,000 by damage to dykes, caused by fresh ets. And that is something that is liable to happen any year. As we understand it the object of working the criminals on farms is not to make money for the State, but to make the convicts self-supporting. If they were made self supporting in some other way, and at the same time so employed as to aid in the development and improve ment of the State, wouldn't it be better? They could be better em ployed to build railroads, (as some of them now are) in working on the county roads, (as some of them are) or . in draining some of the' swamp lauds, (where that is practicable) There are several ways in which tlrey could be employed and made self supporting without coming into com petition with outside labor, or run lung the risk of bad .crops, dainage by freshets, etc. Wil.

This signature is on every box of the gonuine Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets the remedy that enres a cold In one day A Busy Small Store. There is a feeling among some merchants whose establishments have not yet reached the magnitude of the great department stores that reg ular and persistent advertising does not pay. A comparatively small house in New York surrounded by big stores has been recently adver tised steadily in the newspapers, however, and the result, according to the manager, is that "we are as busy as the busiest large store."

The practical'' value of it is seen daily. Those who have it really fail to see its good offices because they have never been pinched by the lack of it. A day scarcely passes that it does not do its good work both seen and unseen. And there are times in every lif a possibly when nothing but a good name will bring relief. It inspires, and is the foundation real ly of all confidence. Without con fidence individual and social life must be not only strewn with wreck age, but wreckage itself. To live tinder the ban of our fellow men' as untruthful or dishonest or in any way wanting in the virtues that command respect and confidence is to be miserable, indeed, to say no thing of evils far worse. Let every man, above all, strive to get in and live in the favor of God so that he will hear at last the plaudit, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Rev. P. 11. Law, in Iiobesonian.
