A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

ly Newspaper, devoted to the matenal in
terests or the people of this County and the

The election that is to take place
the 13th instant is exciting more
than usual interest. Two public
meetings have been held, each meet
ing has put a ticket in the field.
The misunderstanding concerning
the time for the meeting arose in
this way:-The Intendant and the
Clerk gave notice December 24th of
a meeting for the 31st, to nominate
a Council for the ensuing year; this
notice, we understand, was given in
accordance with a resolution of the
entire Council. In the issue of the
31st was another notice by the In
tendant and the Clerk, postponing
the meeting to the 3d instant; this
postponement was made by the In
tendant without consultation with
any of the Council except one mem
ber. In justice to the Intendant,
we take this occasion to say that we
do not believe he had any other ob
ject in view than to allow certain
citizens who expected to be absent
Wednesday an opportunity to par
ticipate in the nominations.
There is an attempt on the part
of some to drag into the campaign
issues that do not belong to it. We
hear of the "dry ticket" and of the
"iet ticket". There is no such is
sue involved. As we understand it
the position taken by the ticket
improperly called the "dry ticket"
is this:i 1st, To secure better order
on the streets; 2nd, to enforce the
Jaws against gambling and.other
offenses within the corporate limits;
and, 3d, to place it within the power
of the citizens to declare at each
election whether barrooms shall be
licensed or not-in other words,
that if licenses be granted these
licenses shall expire with the expi
ration of the term of office of the
Council granting them, so as to
leave their successors the power to
grant or not to grant, as they see
fit, during their term of office. This
is fair, and nobody can reasonably
object to it. It is only to prevent
r one Council from forestalling the
action of its successor. This was
the case up to 1877. Prior to that
time the municipal elections were
held the first Tuesday*in Novem
ber, and licenses were granted in
November and December. The
Legislature, March 2, 1876, so
amended the town charter as to
have the election on the second
Tuesday in January ; so that the
Council that was elected in Novem
ber, 1875, continued in office till
January, 1877. The licenses ex
-piring in November and December,
1876, were renewed by that Coun
c' il for one year-the shortest tims
allowed-and the same thing has
happened every year till th~e present.
So that the charge made by some
that one Council has "forestalled'
the action of its successor is un
founded, and is the result of igno
rance of the above facts, which
clearly explain the whole matter.
When the question of "wet or dry'
comes properly before the people
as an issue we propose to discuss
it, but we can see no occasion to
do so now. All that the citizens of
Newberry are called upon to con
sider in this election is to secure
the best Council possible-a Coun
eil that will be firm in preserving
peace and good order on the streets,
aggressive in punishing and pre
venting all violations of law within
the limits of the town, and attentive
to their duties of keeping the
streets and sidewalks in proper
condition-in short, active, enter
prising business men who will know
their duty and will have the cour
age to perform it. There is no poli
tics involved in the election ; and
all that can be expected of any citi
zen is that he exercise his own judg
ment and support the candidates
that he thinks will best secure the
interests of the community.

Mistake in the Appropriation
Bill.
The State* tax was fixed by the
House that introduced the appro
priation bill at 4} mills ; the Senate
amended it by making it 42, but
afterwards receded from its amend
ment. The engrossing clerk, how
ever, made a mistake and put 41 in
the bill when engrossing it for rati
fication ; so that the State tax
stands at 4- mills. This extra one
fourth of a mill will raise about
$25,000, which will remain in the
Treasury to the credit of next year.

It is not my purpose to discuss t
relative respectability of those w
took part. in the two meetings, or t
relative merits of the men who c
pose the two tickets ; I shall i
weigh the principles they claim
represent ; but this I shall do-1 sh
si:ow which meeting was-as it
pears to ordinary apprehension-t
regular citizens' meeting, and, in c
sequence, which should receive I
support of orderly. order-loving c

In the meeting on Wednesd
when the Chairman asked, Will so

a member of the present Council ar

t- Treatment of the Convicts-Inhuman Cruelty
and Neglect.
The following are the reports of the
superintendent and surgeon of the

of the convicts leased to the Green
wood and Augusta Railroad Company,
which were called for by the Senate
at its recent session, and by that body
en ordered to be printed:
ch THE REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
LIPSCOMB.
ConrwrA, S. C.. Sep. 2 -1879.
he To the C'hairnan and Board of Di
ho rectors, S. C. P. :
he GENTLEMEN-Ilaving received a
, letter from Geri. P. H. Bradley, pres
ident of the Greenwood and Augusta
Railroad. stating that a great deal of
mortality and sickness existed among
all the convicts leased to that company,
'p- I conferred with the chairman of the
he board, showing him the letter. He
instructed me to go over there and
- make an inspection of their condition,
he and at my suggestion he instructed me
ti- to take Dr. Trezevant, the surgeon of
the institution, with we, to see what
could be done to ameliorate their con
4'dition.
1nC Dr. Trezevant and myself appointed
r the morning of the 21st of August to
>se go on the inspection. On the night
led of the 20th I received the attached
note from Dr. Trezevant, saying he
>s could not go, and I proceeded by my
ur self on the morning of the 21st.

ble of the board of directors, in Augusta,

M ing. We left immediately for the
camp on the South Carolina side, in
Edgefield County, about nineteen or
the twenty miles distant, which we reached
ad about 5 P. M.
Is I found in one end of the stockade
nine sick men chained on what was
as intended to be a straw bed, but the
et straw was too thin to do much good.
e a I could not stand the awful stench
ris- and had to direct the guard to unchain
jn. them and-bring them out in front of
his the stockade. I found them in a de
plorable condition, all of them corn
the plaining of venereal diseases, swollen
rial limbs, &c. I then went to the so
tle. called hospital, where I found three
ket sick-two white men and one black
and man. They had some straw to lie up
on and were all chained. They were
v of all covered with vermin and fleas-so
le). much so that I was forced to leave the
ad. the room. I don't see how it was
ral possible for a well man to exist in
' these places well treated, much lessa
the sick man with no treatment, or so lit.
.' tie that I regarded it as none. They
up- had no change of clothing, no shoes,
p0. no covering of any description that I
could see. They reported that they
miy had had no. medicine and no medical
"~~' treatmeut except one dose of paregoric

sowere at work, called the roll and in

sys of them complaining of venereal dis
this eases and swollen limbs, and almost al
hat with scurvy. They were very dirtj
;hat in person and clothing-having n<
d- change; some of them said they hac
enot washed for weeks. I saw n<
roe- blankets or bed clothing for them tc
till lie upon or cover with.
the I heard great and loud complain:
- i about the cruel treatment of convicts
ow by Capt. J. J. Cahill and his guard
>nOne of them, W. H. McGarvey, No
r of 3,125, showed Col. Butler and mysel
lant scars upon his head which he sait
e of were caused by blows from a stick it
to the hands of Capt. Cahill, and per
sons outside gave the same informa
own. Capt. Cahill himself, in re
n- porting those that were dead, informec
not. me that the guard had shot one whihi
hoi hackles and fastened to the gans
_chain, claiming that he was in revolt
SWe heard that Cahill had ordered th<
did guard to shoot him.
not The convicts were generally in suei
iai- a bad condition that I deemed it m3
em. imperative duty to send the surgeon o
this institution to see them.
on" The sickness and mortality being st
it great, I heard that some of the direc
on- tors ot the road had resigned and Dr
citi- T. J. McKie, their surgeon, had ceasec
nto visit the convicts professionally

and Director Shield's instructiwus, I li
proceeded to Edgefield County to in
s.eet the condition 1,f the convicts at
work on the Gireenwo'ud and Augusta
ltailroad. n
I reached the stockade on Monday u
afternoon, the 25th, and immediately f,
proceeded to the said inspection. I
found in the log pen, which is called
the hospital, three convicts lying on a
shelf made of poles and clapboard and
covered about two inches with straw
Tvo of said convicts were colored and
one white. One of the convicts, Jno.
Lord, was in the last stages of exhaus
tion, and had on nothing but his -
shackles and a pair of pants-the rest
of his body being covered with flies.
The other colored convict had general
dropsy. * * McGar- G
vey, the white convict, was so weak t
and emaciated that he was unable to
leave the shelf, and the straw was so
full of vermin that I could not make
a satisfactory examination of hin.
The English language does not pos
sess words sufficiently strong to ex
press the stench that arose from the
place.
The quarters in which the laboring c
convicts are consist of two log pens.
twenty by thirty feet, separated by an
alley way of eight or ten feet. In a
this space I found eighteen other con- (
victs lying on the naked earth, their
diseases being principally exhaustion
and dropsies.
The same style of sleeping accom- e
modations prevails in these pens as do
in the hospital, with the exception -
that on some of the shelves there is no
straw at al!, and from the polished ap
pearance of the clapboards, there has
been none since they have been oc
cupied.
I saw neither trace or sign or cov
ering of any kind-blanket or aught
else. The stench arising from these
quarters was sickening to the utter.
most extent.
The cooking is done in six or eight
round iron ovens in the open air, the
bread which I examined being burnt
on top and raw throughout the bal
ance. I saw no arrangement for boil
ing, &c
From the stockade I went to where
the convicts were at work, and in
spected each convict separ.tely. With
the exception of nine, I found them
all, more or less, infected with scurvy,
and with an eruption which was evi
dently caused by the vermin on their
persons. There were two who were so
swollen with dropsy of the extremities
that I remarked that they should have
been in the hospital, and was told that
they were there on light work, just to
do wvhat they pleased. None of them
possessed a change of clothing, and
their persons, though evidently having
been washed the preceeding Sunday,
were offensiue on account of the stench
from the filthy clothing.
In a conversation with Dr. T. .
McKie, an excellent gentleman as
well as physician, I found that he had
refused to attend further on these con
viets, as we could be of no possible
service under such a condit.ion of
things as prevailed ; and Mr. Twiggs,
the associate engineer of the railroad,
with the Georgia branch, informs me
that he has remonstrated time and
again, but to no effect, and that out
of one hundred and ninety-one con
victs, on the Georgia side, that since
the 22nd day of May he has had no
sickness whatever.
The mortality above is sufficient to
provc what their treatment has been
As the cool weather comes on, with
the system of the convicts so cnfeeble-d
by their scurvied conditions, I a'm
afraid there will be. a still greater rnar
tality.
I have the honor to be, with uruach
respect, your obedient servant,

FIf the world was all before the rad
icals, where to choose a place for dis
turbing the ordinary and peaceful
course of events, I doubt if they could
have selected a spot more calculated
to give themx temporary encourage
rient and to bring final discomfiture
than the State of Maine. I1 say nothing
of the manifestly selfish :motivcs which
actuated certain Radical leaders, but
Iam certain that the feeling which
moves the rank and file of the party
out of the common line of duty is not,
however mistaken it can be, proof of
a love of disorder or aan indication of a
d esign to violate the :aws. The sober
seond thought vf the masses in
Maine, in both parties, is what will
now win a victory fur peace and order,
and will send. to oblivion the noisy
politicians who have put self before
the good of thc State. After a little
season the 'baleful influence of these
men, in t!.x places where it is now
