Index-Journal, 2nd.
The meeting of public welfare
wArlrAr* froftt Newberrv, Edgefteld,
Abbeville, McCormick and Greenwood
cjwne to a close yesterday afternoon
with an address by Dr. George B.
Cromer of Newberry, former chairman
of the state board of charities
and corrections.
Dr. Cromer spoke on the condition
of the jails of the state. He stressed
the fact that a man is presumed innocent
until found guilty and tihat
sifice the majority of those arrested

it is an outrage to civilization to force
them to stay even a short time in
jft*ls as unsanitary as most of the
jails are. Dr. Cromer pointed out
s that most jails of this state were in
such, a condition as to endanger the
hfcalth of the inmates. He cited the
example of Newberry in Greeting a
modern iai} which could adequately
care for the prsioners.
County Court Judge C. C. Featherst&ne
also made a short talk yesterday
afternecm, bringing out the fact
that the aim in handling criminals
was reform rather than vengeance
Upoir the prisoner. He stated that he
had given the matter of reform not
only of minors but those over the
regular reformatory age considerable
thought and hoped to see the day
come when the matter would be given

A "hew system of caring for the
piupers of the state was advocated
b# G. Croft Williams, secretary of
tke state ?6ard 6f public welfare. He
dfelfcted that in his opinion, county
almshouses should be sold and the
proceeds used for the establishment
of centralized hospitals whe*e indirfntintnates'Cbuld
be treated and givek
?$ome form of training. Under
1 ? ?~ OAwf f r\
present system, paupers ?ic ocuv.
firniis, such as are maintained by
2$l counties #hen th^y should be sent
to hospitals.
,J rH Martin of the state board of
pdbljic welfare explained the purpose

fifee |hte ntion was to educate the pubm

In the light of the coming welfare
ctfnfefence, a comparison of the jails
in the counties of Abbeville, Edgeftelcfc
Greenwood, Newberry and McCortrick
is illuminating. The inspect6f
bf the State board of public wel fovo
0/*n-ro<t thp 44 iails of the state
on* a basis of 1,000 points. This
score is divided as follows: Permanent
plant, highest possible score 400;
sheriff's and jailer's management,
highest possible seore 400; county
commissioner's equipment, etc., highest
possible score 200. Scored oh this
basis the four jails mentioned above
(Mtkj^rimck keeps her prisoners in

Netf berry 905

la comparison with other of the
44 jails in the state these four jails
rank, Newberry first, being the best
in tke state, Abbeville 11th, Greenwood
37th and Edgefield 42nd. Quoting
from the annual report of the
state board of public welfare Newu?Wr
M-nPs in ,the classification oi
i/CiAJ VV4.. ...
jails having "no outstanding faults ir
perrhanent plant, equipment or management."
The Abbeville institution
comes in the class with those having
"poor classification facilities or some
sirteu8 fault in management." White
it said of the Greenwood and Edgefield
jails that "any jail that received
~ Kaimfr finfiO should be classed
a acvic ui.iv>> . as
JPOOR and should not >be used tc
confine human beings until improve
[merits have been made." In the Ab- I
beville and Edgefield jails only two
meals a day are served to the prisoners,
according to the report quoted
above. Two of the four jails are
j classed as non-fire-proof?those in
Abbeville and Edgefield.
The total number of commitments I
to these institutions during the last g
{ fiscal year was 412. These commit- I
J ments were divided as follows: Abbej
ville 62, Edgefield 55, Greenwood
143, Newberry 152. In other words
j there was during the year from June
3o, 1919 to June 30, 1920, one com- '
mitmerrt to jail for every 855 of the
population.
Money, Money.
Money is coming to town, and as
' ... , j
i all stiouid know?Because we an ireru :
it so badhv?we want all to hear about fl
?. I
$190,000 of Newberry city bonds I
were sold for $174,500, bringing that
much actual cash, or "new money"
into the three banks in Newberry;
this money being used along now in
paying for the paving of two long
streets, Main and College streets, and
two short streets, Coats and Friend.
The $100,000 bonds for street improvements
bringing in $91,000, or
$92,000, cash and real estate owners
adding to that amount all their
private cash, perhaps $7,000 or $8,000
more, total about $100,000.
One-seventh of the amount payable I
by the real estate owners along these I
paved streets being required in cash, 1
the other six-sevenths payable in six I
more annual installments.
It has been estimated that the cost
of these four streets will amount to
about $110,000.
Another good sum made up of numerous
good lumps, from $4,000 to
$^2,500, loans to farmers on their
lands, brought into Newberry county
by loans from the Life Insuranc company
of Virginia. These sums have
amounted to about $130,000 or $140,-,.
000.
Then, totf, a much larger amount I
will soon be deposited in the banks of
Newberry county, coming from the
sale of the $400,000 county road
bonds, as the abstract of the act of
the legislature, election and proceedings
of the board of county highway |
commission, has been made out andj
submitted to the attorneys for the!
bond buyers.- So-that it is expected
that this purchase will sobn be in our
banks.- < - v.
* "*5*
These two amounts of new money
~ - n,
coming into "Newberry county,
amounting to $174,500 net, from city
bonds, and $392,000 net from road
bonds, will go a-long ways towards
.relieving tlie extreme, or shortness in
money matters in our county. This
shortness has been shown by the public
statements of the banks, as well as
our individual positive knowledge of;
same. |
And again, there are other good
lumps of money that will be coming
to the farmers in this, counry, being
! the loans made by the federal land
' bank in the loans of $100 to $10,000
at six per eeftt interest, repayable in
thirty-three annual installments. This
: could readily amount to another j
$100,000 of new money coming into
' our county.

The eating of peanuts annoys many 1
people and takes away from their en- 2

The opera house every afterloon

md pleasant place for recreation and
imusemSnt. It is spoiled by peanuts,
rhis ought not to be the case. In

nany ladies and gentlemen.
In passing, a lady said to the reDorter
that if she was a peanut eater
she certainly wouldn't go to the opera
