STATE PRISON CROWDED. y *."> i v Palmetto Penitentiary Hu Larger Population Than for Many Yepra. Columbia, July 2.?The atate penitentiary's population ia today larger than it has been in many a year," states Col. James N. Pearman, super* Intendent. "There are more priaonera on our rolls now than there have been since the days of the hosiery mill, the factory operated in the prison which was abolished under the administration of Governor Blease," said Col. Peari^an. There are, according to the superintendent's records today, 746 prisoners under the care of the penitentiary. Of thip number 601 are in the penitentiary in Columbia, and 144 are on the state farms, "We have never had anything like such a number at the prison iWe," the superintendent said. A year ago the state's prisoners totaled approximately 650. When Cpl. Pearman became superintendent shortly after the beginning of the administration of Governor Richards, the penitentiary's rolls contained the names of 447 prisoners. In recent months prisoners have been received at a rapid rate, said the superintendent. There are one hundred federal prisoners listed at the penitentiary, these being boarders, the federal government paying for their upkeep. These have been at the prison for some time. The increase, however, is due to the rapid influx of law violators in recent months. Superintendent Pearman stated thut he does not believe the increase of his population is so much the result of increasing crime, as it is from the growing tendency of the counties to send prisoners to the state prison. Various reasons are assigned for the transfer of prisoners from county jails to the state prison. In many cases they are sent for- "safe keep, ing." _ Of the prison's population, totaling . 745, there are 65 women. This is the largest number of women the penitentiary has held since the days of the hosiery mill. The Fourth of July death list this year was 159, or 46 under the total of the same date in 1928. The reduction is attributed chiefly to the decrease in the number of deaths from drownings and from the heat. *( xrJ-?rtf j jnjr m\* + * ***+ srarg^irr-i^ftT* ^ ^ip j ^ ^ ^ J ' jfl Vacation Tune I try the cool places i - IN THK .

Nowadays it seems to the average motorist that there is a different colored gasoline at every gas tank he draws up to. If you ' tve tried these gasolines ?if you have been "through the rainbow" ? we ask you to do two things. First, note that the new "Standard". Improved Gasoline is not colored. Seoond, try this gasoline and compare the results with any other gasoline at regular prices you have ever need in your car regard' less of color or claims. Compare it for power, mileage and anti-knock qualities. Thousands of motorists have already made this comparison. The result is that more than twice ns much "Standard" Improved Gasoline is i:ow used as the nearest competing brand! _ An oil company with^the greatest facilities lor producing a finer gasolintf is back of "Standard" Improved Gasoline?in bock of it 100%.
