THE STATE PENITENTIARY AND
THE NEWBERRY JAIL.
The report of the State board of
health on the State penitentiary, pub
lished in this issue of The Herald and
News, shows a deplorable condition of
affairs. The report is singularly free
from any tinge of sensationalism, but
the cold facts which it states in per
1haps an ultra-conservative manner
are fearfully hideous. Of seventy con
victs examined, only 28 Were found to
be free from tuberculosis, one of the
most terrible diseases to which man
is prey.
The report of the State board of
health is the result of an investiga
tion ordered by the last legislature
following a message frfm Governor
Blease calling attention to the reports
which had come to him as to the sani
tary conditions at the penItentiary.
Prompt 'action has been asked by
the governor, and no doubt prompt ac
tion will be taken.
This state of affairs, however, is not
to be wondered at, in view of the
policy of South Carolina in makingl
niggardly provision for such institu
tions, vWhle Clemson college is receiv
ing this year over a quarter of a mil
l'on dollars from the fertilizer tax,
aLd while the dispositton in the leg
islature has been aad is to giye the
other higher institutions or learning
hew buildings and appropriations for
other extraordinary purposes, not
witbstanding the demands upon the
State such as this penitentiary inves
~tigation, and the recent asylum inves-'
'tigation revealed. In the asylum mat
'ter, when the report of the committee
was presented, action was taken and
'the means provided for remedying con
ditions, and we have no doubt the same
course will be pursued as to the State
'pententiary.' In both cases, however,
the appeale of the authorities were
disregarded until facts which were a
disgraee to the State were' presented
in multitudinous array. -
We would not be understood as op
posing proper support to the State's'
higher institutions of learnin'g-we fa
ror their adequate pa;;ort-but what
We have said is simply by ay of cal
ing attention to what we consider ex
travagance, in view of the other press
ing demand.s upon the State-demands
of humanity and of duty.
In .this connection, it may be stated
again that; notwithstanding the .ap
pealis of the sheriff and of 'the sup'er
visor and of the medical auithorities,
the imiprovements whichi have been
urged for the Newberry jail for sani
tation a.nd security, .have not yet been
made 'because no appropriation has
beeni made for that purpose. The
grand jury has urged it, and the sup
ervisor has been 'ruled by the court to
show cause why it hlas not been done,
.but the supervisor was powerless with
out the approprationi, and of course
the court could 'not order the super
visor to violate the law.
We notice in the report or Road In
spector J. F. Stephens, off No. 8 town
ship, that in "a goodmiany places the
farmers are ploughing out in the
roads, leaving not enough room for
one buggy or wagon to go along with
out bumping over open furrows."
Overseer Stephens recomnmends~
"that said farmers working the public
roads be made pay rent for same." And
what will the traveling public do? Our
recollection is that the law requires
public roads to be sixteen feet wide.
And surely it is not to the public in
terest to allow property owners on
either side of a public road, even
though they pay rent, to take in so
much of the road. that single buggies
can not pass along without bumping
over furrows.
A fashion note in the Charlotte Ob
server, which is authority on such
matters, says that "skirts are a little
wider, just sufficiently so to give ease
:in walking and avoid the a'- cap
ed look of the PetT w'~ ~
means that tney are to be sufficienu'
wide that the devotees of fashion ma
dispense with the hop gait. and b
able once more to walk. For whic
we should be devoutly thanyful.
Mainly a Money-Saver.
Charlotte Observer.
Mr. John Cousins, of Newberry, E
C., who has had a good deal of exper
ience with home cann.ing, has appai
ently worked out the subject in
manner that shows the sure way t
success on one hand and a large pos
sibility of failure on the other. Hom
canning, he thinks, is not so much
money-making business as a money
saving business. There is no douh
whatever in his mind that it pay
handsomely to put up surplus fruit
and vegetables for home consumptio
and that provided a market can b
found it pays to put up some mor
for the market. This is based upo
the assumption that the prospectiv
canner's land producers surplus fruit
and vegetables which would otherwis
rot. Home canning makes a garde
extend throughout the year; whethe
it does any good beyond that depend
entirely upon the initiative of the prc
ducer in finding buyers for his canne
goods.
Mr. Cousins' observations, it shoul
be said, have no reference to the larg
manufacturing concerns in cannin
with $50,000 to $100,000 capital hu
solely to small c.anneries costing fror
$10 to $30 for the outfit or, when al
tempted on a larger scale in the yar<
from $300 to $3,000.

It's grand, ah more. it is glorious,
To lo->sen up, once in a while,
To open cu.r hears to the veterans,
And give the old Rebels a smile.
They offered their lives for their coun

For loved ones at home they :fougl
Half clad, cold and hungry
They acted as true men ought.
No thought had they of payment,
Ah! noc, they never asked pay;
They did what they knew to be duty

Such as hiad pielver been sen si.nc

Every foot of our homeland they ha]

* THE SOARING PRICES.
I'd like to make a statement,
Which I consider true,
About the way some fellows
Are skinning "me and you."
An apple for a nickle,
An orange just as high,
AnI sweet p)otato's soaring
To regions in the sky.
Flour on the rampage.
And bacon out of sight,
And beef, or what they call beef,
At twenty cents a bite.
The only thing. where's reason
rs goobers, so I~ve learn t,
What's five cents for a package,
And half of those are burnt.
And clothes, why bless you. noney!
Of all the worst of "stings,"
I wish I lived in Cuba
Where folks don't wear the things
I'd dike out. in the fashion.
With a palm-leaf for a tille,
- Some fig leaves for my trousers,
And, nought else but a smile.
> Yes. men's clothes cost outrageous,
There's no disputing that,
e But should you want to bankrupt
a Just price a woman's hat.
t The "Hobbles!" and the "Harems!!"
Will some one give me room?
s Oh no! don't name the pries;
Look out, I'm 'bout to wocn.
e Ah, now! that's so much better,
a I'm glad I had a fit;
e Come on, while they're not looking,
s We'd better "hit the grit."
r Yes, hit, and keep a hitting,
r With all our brawn and bone,
s And go back where we came from,
And let those things alone.
