cook prepares the food for three of the
paupers. An Able-bodied nefcro '^o-
man stays at the almshouse and looks
after her blind husband and crippled
son.
The following; copy of the weekly
ration Riven to each pauper by the
superintendent and purchased by the
county was made from a list on the
wall of the small.house used a» a
commissary:’
Bacon, 3 lbs.;^meair8 lbs.: rice, 2%
lbs.: (or Rrits^)3 lbs.: flour, 3 lbs.;
sugar, 1 lb.; coffee, V6 lb.; lard,
lbs.; kerosene oil, 1 qt.; matches, 1
box; one plug of tobacco, salt "and
soap.
The superintendent said that'he did
not know how often the paupers
bathed themselves. Two galvanised
tubs are provided for them. Their
clothes are washed and boiled every
two weeks. The bedding is washed
“when it needs it” and aired every
week.
No religious services are held at the
almshouse.
Special Notes. _
The superintendent has taken some
steps to improve the appearance of the
almshouse and grounds, including
grading the road where it goes over a
bank and planting a few trees. The
superintendent permits the paupers to
cultivate small vegetable gardens
next to their houses inside the alms
house yard. This is a most excellent
practice as it gives the inmates some
employment and adds to the sum total
of their interest in life.
IV. Recommendations.
1. The houses occupied by the pau-
pera are badly in need of general re
pairs. It will be well, though, to de
fer making these repairs until it can
be seen whether or not it is advisable
tb fbrnr efsewheTe than in Aarnwed a
district almshouse in which the Barn
well paupers and paupers from neigh
boring counties can be cared for. The
almshouse district in this section of
the State might well include Barnwell,
Bamberg and Orangeburg counties.
Prom the standpoint of railroad fa
cilities, Denmark would appear to be
the ideal location for an almshouse in
, a district embracing Barnwell, Bam
berg and Orangeburg counties. How
ever, the Board will make a more
thorough study of the situation, m
eluding costs and pauper population,
before recommending the establish
ment of a district almshouse.
2. Although in view of the possibil
ity of forming a district almshouse it
is not advisable to make at present
the repairs to the paupers’ houses,
still the adoption of the suggestions
below immediately is urged.
a. One of the houses for the in
mates should be converted into i
kitchen and dining room for the pau
pers, the white paupers using one
room as a dining room while the ne
gro paupers use the kitchen for that
purpose.
b. The county should hire a cook
who should prepare the food for all
paupers. It is-believed that thb em
ploying of a cook will result in a sav
ing of supplies which will more than
pay for her hire besides giving the
paupers more palatable food than
they can prepare for themselves on
the open fireplaces in their rooms.
c. The superintendent should keep
a record of all the paupers committed
to the almshouse. This record should
include the following facts: the
names, race, sex and age of each pau
per; the dates on which they were
committed or discharged; whether
they are married, single or widowed;
„ the nature of any physical complaint
from which they are suffering; wheth
er, they are mentally deficient, epilep
tic or insane.
d. The county physician should give
\every pauper a physical examination
as goon as possible after commitment
to the almshouse.
e. The figupers should be required
to bathe thefnselves at least once a
week. Their clothing should be
washed once a week/ The sheets on
their beds shhould be w^s^ed once a
" week. ^
