The Chaingang.
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.

I In selecting the materials be sure to get win- yt
J ter wheat flour, known to the trade as pastry X
J flour, for while spring wheat flour is best for
' bread, it is impossible to have perfect success
1 with cakes when this is used.
It is high time to begin baking Thanksgiv- ^
, ing and Xmas cakes, so use Dan Valley and J
j Imperial Flour, made from pure winter wheat,
