ABOUT THE CHAINGANG. ed ed Another Correspondent Is Anxious to ^ Know About That Contract. * Kdltor Yorkvllle Enquirer: Some weeks ago I noticed an article in your paper from a citizen of Clover, t, asking for certain information regard- al ing a so-called contract between the hr county commissioners and the city of , Rock Hill, by which Catawba township receives credit for all convicts sent up 'a from the city of Rock Hill. I have or anxiously watched for some explana- re tion from the county supervisor or . county commissioners, but thus far I * have seen nothing explaining the mat- in ter and In justice to the other eight he townships in the county I suggest that di! the grand Jury look into this matter. . If there is a contract and made ac- 1 e cording to law, there should be no se- wl cret about the matter, but let other towns in the county enjoy the same privileges as Rock Hill, and work their "" it ooiielntu of hninp If thorn 4a th such a contract in force not according let 4 to law, It strikes me that it is the duty of of the supervisor to annul said contract to at once. I have heard a great deal of th comment and criticism on this matter, Dt but no one seems to clearly understand th how Rock Hill gets such favors. pe Unless there is some way to equalize co the working of the chaingang, I think fai * it should be done away with as quickly po as possible or else relieve the northern en and western part of the county from ar< further expense in connection with sp same as we certainly have not during st< the twenty years that it has been in bu existence gotten anything like our pro- an portion of the work. prl Taking the supervisor's report for pit B last year, we find the expense for foi maintaining and operating the chain ws gang amounted in round numbers to jus $9,000.00, How much did King's Moun- th< tain township get? Net a single day's an work. How much was our proportion is >f this expense? There are nine town- th? t ships in the county and while I have gei no means for ascertaining the exact syi figures, I feel quite safe in saying that ?King's Mountain township's proportion of this expense, would be not less than $700 per year, and for the eighteen years that the gang has been in exist- , ence our proportion of the expenses __ would amount to .say $12,600, and have "" we received $2,000 worth of work for our $12,600 expenses. I dare say no and I don't believe a single man in ' King's Mountain township will claim evi m that we have received over $2,000 * worth of work from the gang since it was started. . Supervisor Gordon's report Is the first that I have seen showing the cost to the county for operating the chaingang, and I have no doubt it has been as , economically managed as by any of his 4 predecessors, still with the most favor- " ' able year for outdoor woik it was shown that the cost was about equal to day laborers at $1 per day, and that about 75 per cent of the work for one 1 year was done in one township. noi I have no criticism to make of _ Supervisor Gordon's work, the fact is. I don't know that I have ever seen any of it, but I do claim there is something unfair in the "system" and I ? claim that each township should be treated equally or give each township W a number of days' work, equal to the amount of their part of the expenses. If King's Mountain's part of the ex- ? penses is $600 or $700 per year, give us J\ fioo or 700 days' work, and likewise t}l with the other townships. "Fair Play." m ? Clover, S. C., March 5, 1910. HOW TO STOP COCKFIGHTING. G Magistrate McElhaney Gives His ] Views on an Interesting Subject. soi Editor Yorkville Enquirer: * I l ? tn.nirt The th i sec in jrsinuo.i 3 issue ui 1 ue uuquirer, how a cocking main was brok- . en up by officers of the law, near . Howling Green on last Tuesday, and I * have been getting right smart cursing behind my back for alleged neglect of ~ duty in failing to prevent a similar ^ breach of the peace near this place recently. I would like to say a few ? words on the subject. rer In the first place, I did not know sir anything about the fight that took Mr place near here until after it was over, Ca and as to what steps I might have ha1 y taken had the matter been reported in tht advance. I will not attempt to say. be- rev cause under the circumstances it might oft"< be desirable to attempt any one of several things. ? In section 298 of the criminal code, cockfighting within three miles of a ? chartered school or institution of learning is made a misdemeanor, and this to is about the only specific law we have on the subject, except that those engaged may be prosecuted for gambling. , Q! if betting can be proved, or maintaining a nuisance if the offense is kept up continuously. __ I have legal advice that I consider good that one of the best ways of put- . ting a stop to cockfighting under th<^ ey statutes as they now stand, is to have ? * ? every institution of learning in the . county chartered. This can be done at ? , ?i nnmlnal nnut and It wolllfl he nret- S t.v hard for the fighters to find a suit- i? able place more than three miles from ' a school house, there would be law for future offences. There is a common impression that V,n< cockfighters may be Indicted for cruelty to animals: but my information is :,t that such an indictment would not lie for the reason that the law does not % regard the cock as an animal, making the distinction that it is "fowl." . 1 want to say that I recognize that there are good, honest men among the pr cockfighters. and I have some strong personal friends, who enjoy the past- A time. However, I regard this practice ~ as having a very bad Influence on the t*e< * young, and the public welfare seems j)a to demand its suppression, to which 'n* end as a sworn officer of the law, I P'( always stand ready to do the best I t'1' know how. If any reader of The Enquirer is able to offer a better or more practical suggestion as to how to stop fighting than lias been offered above. I would be C glad to hear from him. ^ John \V. McElhaney. Magistrate. ^ l-'ort Mill, March 5. 1 9 Hog, Corn and Cotton.?one hun- jUc dred pounds of nog alive are worth tio ten dollars and three hundred pounds of hog are worth half a bale of cotton when cotton is worth twelve cents the "~~ pound, says the Laurens Advertiser of last week. Two three hundred B pound hogs are therefore equal to a bale of twelve cents the pound cotton. The likelihood, meanwhile, is considerably greater that cotton will drop to ten cents the pound than that p hog will drop below ten cents the pound. The boys* corn clubs that are being organized in this state are bringing it to pass that two pounds of corn may be produced for the same cost that one 9 pound of corn has heretofore been produced. Halving the price of raising corn will halve the price of raising hog approximately. Hy the education of the boys in correct methods of farming it will be easy to raise six hundred pounds of hogs, w hich is to say a bale of cotton, at the * cost of raising a three hundred pound hog or a half bale of cotton now. The boys of today will be men tomorrow. The education of the farmers and farmers' boys will make this th< richest and the happiest land in the world. Any country with plenty of rich and happy farmers is sure to lie a wholesome and happy country? out* 1 nat is a DiessniK 10 ail mni-i i-miiii l ies besides. President to Talk About Tuberculosis.?President Taft and Governor Hughes will sound the slogan "no unruled for tuberculosis in 191f>." at a conference to be held in Albany. New York. March Is and 19. The conference will celebrate the beginning of a new period of constructive work by the state and local committees on the prevention of tu' In rculosis. which lias for its end adequate provision for every tuberculosis case by 191a. and a murk<-d reduction in the tuberculosis death rate by 1 ! IT0. The conference will lie follow- v up on April 24 by sermons preach-I I in every city of the state on nationtuberculosis. sn The Albany conference will empha- (y se the fact that the reduction in the n;| nth rate of the state and the severcommunities will demand a county spitai for every county: tit least one no siting nurse for every city and vil- j1" ge: a free dispensary in every city jf village of 5.000 people or over: the bl porting of every living case to the >'" alth authorities: the adequate care j".' a sanitarium; the adequate care V() me of every tuberculosis case: and th sinfection after every removal or l,p ath of a tuberculosis patient in itlch he lived. th ? wl to -Chester. March 4: At a meeting of M e board of trustees of Erskine col- Et fe held here last night in the parlor Gc the A. R. P. church, it was decided no rebuild the Wylie Home for Girls on e campus of the Erskine college at pu ic West, and also to arrange it for i r* .vraol/lont'c Cirwl to P^ivp him I c H. .r.? vur.... rsonal supervision of the girls. A mmittee consisting of President Moftt and Profs. Orier and Reid was apinted to proceed with the immediate t}l( pction of this building. It will cost ound $13,000 and will stand on the ot where the burned Wylie Home >od. The Wylie Home for Oirls was rned during the Christmas holidays d the meeting here last night was Incipall.v for the purpose of making ins for rebuilding it. The agitation a president's home has been under ly for some time, and so the board t decided to merge the two and have ? president live in the girl's home d have supervision of them.
