In a recent issue, The Southern Christian Advocate, official church paper of the South Carolina Methodists, makes a plea ior tne abolition oi tne chaingangs in this State. There is much in The Advocate's editorial reciting the need of reform in the punishment of criminals which should be given due consideration by the Legislature, but we fail to see how present conditions could be bettered by abolishing the chaingangs, particularly those of the counties. There must be a punishment for crime, otherwise there would be no protection for society from ! criminals. No one is pleased I at the sight of men at work on the public highways weighted down with ball and chain, but if this method of deterring dangerous and long-term prisoners from escaping were not in vogue few of.this class of prisoners would ever make reparation for their onenses. me most inhuman tea-1 ture of South Carolina's chaingang system is the practice of the guards inflicting corporal punishment upon unruly prison-1 ers. This practice, however, is not confined to the chaingangs, we are told. The statement is made, seemingly authoritatively, I that male prisoners are not infrequently flogged into insensibility at the State penitentiary for infractions of the rules of the institution. If the statement be true, and this paper believes it is true, that prisoners are unmercifully whipped at the penitentiary it is high time the lawmakers of the State were looking into the matter. Disappointment for Prioleau. There is apt to be one sadly disappointed negro in South Carolina when the Sixty-second Congress convenes. For years the chief occupation of Aaron Prioleau has been to contest the seat of Congressman George S. T - - 1 ijegare, anil ior each contest he has received $2, (XX) from Uncle Sam's treasury. He has made the race in the Charleston district as a Republican four or five i times whether he got the nomination or not. never perhaps with any hope of being awarded the seat, but with his eye on the $2,000 "expense money" allowed for defeated candidates who claim to have been unfairly beaten. But next year when Prioleau goes to Washington to file with the congressional committee notice of his contest he will see a different set of faces on the committee, and this will mean his undoing. The Republican committeemen who have so often allowed him the "expense | money" to work up the evidence, etc., against his successful op- I por.ent will be conspicuous by their absence. Their places will be filled by Democrats and Brio- | leau's claim to the seat will be laughed out of court on the first 1 hearing. An Insolent Letter. t* ?x - * - it is not, 01 course, incumbent upon The Times to say anything in behalf of the city council of | Rock Hill in regard to the straightforward proposition they I have made the owners of the water, light and power company ' of that city to take over the sys- j tem. These gentlemen doubtless are able to take care of them- j selves in the controversy with the owners of the franchise; but it is worth while to note in passing that a more insolent reply , to a courteously worded offer of purchase has perhaps never been received by any city council than that sent to the Rock Hill council by A. P. Moloney, president of the company. It is a notorious fact that Rock Hill has been illy j 1 l_ il:. useu uy uns company ana it is to be hoped that the citizens of the city will stand by the council j in the effort which is being made i to improve conditions.
