Deploring con ditions at the state penitentiary brought about by crowded conditions which "exist on account of the lack of proper facilities',' Governor Thom as G. Mctfeod, in a statement made public today, declared that "both humanity and economy demand the removal and erection of a new state penitentiary." Pointing out that the crowded con ditions are due to the increased number of prisoners committed there from various counties, tho governor stated that a "substantial movement has begun, on account of economy,' for the abandonment of chain-gangs and the placing of prisoners in the state penitentiary." is will only aggravate the prestrtit Situation," he said. "At the prison with ample provision facture would utilize a greater part of the labor a$. from three to four times what they are now worth to the state as convicts. Both humanity and economy demand a change." The governor's statement was is sued following veceipt by him of a reply to a questionnaire he had sub mitted to prison officials giving sta tistics and other information regard ing conditions at the institution. In connection with the answer to the questionnaire, A. M. Scarborough, superintendent of the prison, express ed the hope that the governor would ask the cdUnty authorities to hold up sending prisoners to the penitentiary until conditions arc relieved. The governor's statement was is sued, he said, to place "these condi tions, upon the hearts and consciences of the people of South Carolina in order that the action of the legis lature may reflect an aroused sen timent which I trust will be ex pressed by the people throughout the state."' . Governor McLeod's statement fol lows: "Some days ago, I received a letter1 from the board of directors, placing before me^the crowded con ditions at the state penitentiary due to tha increased number of prisoners committed there from the various same time, the erection of counties. ?'-In order,, that the public may be generally informed, and in view of 'the "fact thai I ^think tlie people ought to know t>he conditions pre vailing ? for from them must come the remedy ? I have submitted to the superintendent a questionnaire which has tjeen fully and completely answer ed, and which together with his let ter gives a full fend complete state ment of conditions at the penitentiary. "I have no criticism to make' of the ^uanagement. Conditions ^re wonderfully improved and everything consistent with the physical equip ment of the prison is being done. However,, these conditions exist on account of the lack of proper facili ties, and will not only continue to exist but will increase as time goes by unless substantial relief i-s given. "Summarized there are in the 'state penitentiary and upon the? farms, 601 prisoners. There are upon the two farms, 113 prisoners, leaving a total of 488 prisoners in the peni tentiary proper. Of these, 34 are in trusty wards; 17 in the hospital; 2 in the T. B. tent; 64 in the women's ?quarters, and 371 in the cell building. "There are in the cejil building,, 280 cells. These cells are 7 feet 10. inches in length, 5 feet wide, 6 feet 8 inches high. The air space or Win dows are one to each cell. 'She size of the window is 2 feet 10 inches high by 21 inches wide. The ' door is 5 feet 10 inches high and 1 foot 10 inches wide. "There are 178 cells occupied by one prisoner each; 99 cells occupied by wo prisoners each. When you take into consideration the size of these cells and remember that these are miscellaneous prisoners, further comment is unnecessary. The air space itself is insufficient to properjy sustain more than one. There are a number of reasons, some of them unmentionable, as to why two pris oners should not be placed in one cell. "The women are not in separate cells, but in a ward. The colored women's ward is 68 feet by 50 feet i ; . and contains 53 prisoners, the venti lation here, 15 windows, is ample. "The white women's ward is 22 feet, 8 inches by 14 feet 3 inches ' and contains 11 prisoners. The ven tilation is likewise ample. But when you figure Ihis larft out, you will see that each prisoner is limited to an air space' and moving space of 4 feet by 7 feet. Necessarily no pri vacy obtains. These conditions speak for themselves, especially the last' mentioned. "A committee appointed by the legislature is earnestly and carefully investigating these condition* and will make a recommendation.

Frank Crowdev, young white man, was sentenced to five years imprisonment by Judge Henry in sessions court here, follow ing his pleading guilty to theft of "an automobile. Crowder is also under charge of assault as the result of an alleged attack upon Sheriff Fred Quinn in an attempted jail break re cently. to place these conditions upon the hearts and consciences of the people of South Carolina, in order that the action of the legislature may reflect an aroused sentiment which I trust will be expressed by the people throughout the state. The legisla ture will be glad to carry out the wishes of the people and I do not believe a continuance of these con ditions will be tolerated by a Chris tian people. . "Bdth humanity and economy de mand the removal and erection of h new -state penitentiary. . "Chain gangs, it is realized, are an expense to most of the counties and it is only for political influence that sofcie of them exist at all in all probability. A substantial move ment has begun, on account of econ omy, for the abandonment of chain gangs and tbc placing of prisoners in the penitentiary. This will very much aggravate the present situa tion. "At the same time, the erection of a new prison with ample provis ions for manufacture would utilize a greater part of the'* labor at from three to four times what they are now worth to tt?e state as convicts.

Sill, venerable Columbia cltiaen Is dead. He passed away at thev Confederate soldier s home Friday morning at 3 >o clock. Many knew him personally and hosts of others who did not kno\v him by name will recognize him as the vender of trinkets on the streets of Columbia for several years. He used ? small cart to carry his wares and nis only advertisement was that car ried on the front of the cart "1 am 91 years old." Mr. Sill rami' to Columbia 72 years ago from Kershaw county. Here he had lived most of that time except when he served in the Confederate servit-e and when he moved to New berry about 1878 but moved back to the capital city in 1882. H? had served as chief of police, being elevated to that office from as sistant chief during the administra tion of E? K. Earle as mayor. During .Wie war he enlisted with the trans portation service and rendered patri otic service to his native Southland. He was the oldest member of Kich land Lodge No 3D, Ancient Free Ma sons at the time' of his death. Mr. Sill was a quiet man but when' engaged in conversation he talked in ja most interesting manner. When ho , sorved as chief of police the old whip Ping post then being in vogue. Since I that the mode of punishment has changed and. he had expressed the opinion that the electric chair was a much more humane means of punish ment than those of his service on the police force. He never sought charity in his old age. He looked on his business with ; pride. For a long time he had a ' room at the Baptist hospital and bought a bench for himself which he placed on the sidewalk, but his busi ness .was his love and he would come to Main street every day that he was able to dispense of his wares. A few weeks ago he left the state capitaj f^r Washington, the National capital, to visit his son. He returned about ten days ago and since that time has been president at the Con./ federate soldiers' home. He appeared to be in his usual health except for, being crippled. He was seen on the streets Monday of this* week. In his death Columbia loses one of its landmarks, a man who has sertfed the city as a guardian of its peace and to whom was accorded the privilege in his declining years of using its streets for his business. He had seen the capital city rebuilt from! ashes. He loved the city o? his adop tion. The funeral services will likely be held Saturday with Masonic honors. He leaves a son, William Sill, of'1 Washington, and a daughter, Mrs. M. B. Pragan of Atlanta. Advices from both of these are to the effect that they are en route to Columbia.
