When the work is } 0 ompletcd here, Supervisor Langford j L fill move the chaingang 011 the Au- j usta road between Lexington and j ^ <eesville, to complete the gap which g fill take until cariv spring. It is the intention of the Supervisor c 0 use the chaingang on the roads of c he Fork during the summer months, ^ ,s experience hay proven that it is , iractically useless to attempt to w ork t he roads of that section in winter. t Mr. Langford is very anxious to g;ve ach section of the county the bene- < it of the chaingang. but it should be emembered that all of the roads can- j lot be worked at cue and the same ^ ime, and everybody should be patient.

II r, and to tarn into the State treasury. I |j t is likely that about a third of the i |! mount will be used to put up a mod- j g! rn brick stockade for the DeSaussure j |, nd Reid farms, which adjoin each 1 ji ther and which together are located ! |' artly in Sumter and partly in Ker- i Si haw counties. fj Since Superintendent Griffith as- | umed office practically the entire j j enitentiary plant has been built. ; ; 'he9e improvements include a big j i ranitJ building for the interior ar- i angement of modern cells, a costly ; cards' quarters, the finest tubercu- ; I )sis hospital in the South and various I aprovements around the ground and li n the three farms operated by the g: enitentiary management. The Lex- [{ nglon farm has a line brick stockade ,:id boiler plant worth about $17,500. Superintendent Griffith this yei.r r" reduced oyer 900 bales of cotton and rill get an average of over S00 a bale j I or it. His other money crops were j j. 3,00'J bushels of corn and 20,000 bush- | Is of oats. The price of oats this 5 I oar has been a'ovjt the same as last j rear, but corn was much more valu- : ibie than it was last year. ! A It is understood that the position of J /r Superintendent Griffith and the board ; fi >f directors with respect to the legis- j ature is that the management will be j g jratelui to trie law malting ooay ior ;he privilege of being alio wed to con;inue the good work without any (E ihange in the law as it now stands. y, Superintendent Griffiths' report will J|] Dvobab!v carry no recommendations, s* a 1 Dut will merely lay all the facts before in :lie legislature. r., There has been some calk and there h were some resolutions proposed at a pj recent good roads gathering to the of- ^ feet that the legislature should be iniuced to provide for road building by p the penitentiary convicts. The man- g. agement does not look with favor on . ? if this proposition, as it looks upon this -p as a dangerous departure from the L present method of handling convicts, * and would, as it is argued, lead to all a the abuses of the lease system. Con- r vict9 would be poorly fed and cared _ for in many cases, it is said. Though Superintendent Griffith is firm and a * fine disciplinarian, these who have watched his administration have been v irnj ressed with the fact that his sue- * cess has been due no Jittle to the fact r that he uses kindness and considera- * tion whenever it can be used to ad- 1 vantage. Iti3 said tiiere are at least 335 convicts who could not safely be t allowed to work cut in this way. a Many cf these are dangerous men and r not. a few cf them cave to be kept in a chains even on the grounds and watch- c od with great care. Many of these ^ / % T' are not now worked even on the farms. N There are many objections, it b claim- ^ ed, io the ;ve>etit iaw allowing the * leasing- of certain convicts to the county authorities at the rate of ?4 n a month for each convict- Less than ^ 200 are let out in this way.?The 0 State. ^ J 08LY 0H?_"BEST" " Lexington People Give Credit si Where Credit is Due, b!
