BLEASE WARNS PRISON BOARD VA'ani* Cwnvktl (0 be Used by Counbea on Public Highways. Columbia, August 90. — A strong and significant warning to the Penitentiary board not to make any contract leasing the convicts now employed in the hosi ery mill to any party or corporation agreeing to establish a leather or wood working plant w ithin the Penitentiary walls was given to the members of the board of directors of the State Peniten- ary to-day in a letter from Governor Blease. He told them he would not stand for the convicts to be leased to anybody for any kind of work, and emphasized the strength of his oppo sition by referring them to that pro vision of the State Constitution giving the Governor the right to remove the board of directors and superintendent of the Penitentiary from office until the next session of the Genera! Assem bly. “A word to the wise,” the Gov ernor significantly says, “should be sufficient.” > The Penitentiary board decided the other day to call for bids for leasing the convicts at their next meeting on September 10. The hosiery mill con tract expires November 1 and some disposition must be made of the 200- odd convicts now employed therein. f ♦ ♦ — — Harry K.
