MORE STATE FARMS. For the Hosiery Mill Convicts Says Mr. A. K. Sanders, Chairman of Penitentiary Board. Columbia Record, 2Sth. A. K. Sanders, of Hagood, chairman of the penitentiary board, in disk -J 11 1 v. ,3 cussing j.ne meeiang 01 me uuinu yesterday, briefly outlined his position as to the best disposition to be made of the 200 or more convicts now employed in the hosiery mill of the State penitentiary when the maintenance of the mill will be suspended under act of the legislature annulling the contract with Jo:hn M. I Graham. L "My idea,'' said Mr. Sanders, "has ? been formed after extensive experi I ence with prison management r throughout a number of States, where I have observed the operation of the prison systems. I believe that the operation of. say five or six, State firms located in different parts of the S;ate as experiment farms wliere the farmers of the community inay learn practical lessons of scienforminor i<; the best solution to ? the problem of the employment of convicts." } Florida Commission. ^ "Some time since," said Mr. Sanders, "a commission from the State of Florida visited our penitentiary to gather ideas for the establishment and successful management of a plantation of larger proportions but along the same lines as South Carolina's farm is managed. Advanced thought on the prison question in every State is turning to the running k of farms as the best method of emfr ploying convict labor. * Mr. Sanders stated that such a ^ course would have to be worked out ft ov.iy, but he was of the opinion { that ultimately it would be the wisest disposition of the convicts in the penitentiary. Mr. Sanders stated that the board had not definitely decided to hire the convicts to the supervisors of the various counties to be used on the roads, stating his opposition to this on the ground that their health might k? hv too sudden expos UC guuuu^v.4 w k ure to the weather and outdoor work L after having been accustomed to W work inside the walls of the peni' tentiary. "We have advertised for bids fr^n companies who wish to hire the labor at some wood or leather work in the penitentiary, it is possible that if good propositions are received, we will put all the men at work in the manufactory to be installed. If the ^ propositions are not satisfactory then f the placing of the men on the roads will be considered." said Mr. Sanders.
