EPORT ON I COUNTY I blowing is the report of H. C. representative of the state public welfare, on inspection amberg county jail and chain gang on September 22: "The Bamberg county chain gang has been appreciably improved during the past year, the score awarded this visit being 740 out of a possible 1,000, as compared with a score of 654 for 1920. The changes responsible for the higher grade include - better bedding, second covers for the tents, a greater variety of food, a cleaner camp, and a general attitude or interest ami caie. "At the time of this visit five men were sick at camp, one with tuberculosis and the others with some kind of fever. Several of these men had shackles around their bodies as well as upon their ankles. These chains made it almost impossible for the men to lie upon their beds with any degree of comfort. "For the further improvement of this camp it is recommended that removable and washable covers be made for the mattresses to protect them against dirt and hard use, that tie disgusting practice of allowing more than one prisoner to bathe in one tub of water be discontinued, tihat the trustees be required to make use of the soil pit, and that a stove and a kitchen car or tent be procured to take the place of the open fire and frying pans now in use. < .

These additions have added much to the comfort and convenience of the jailer and inmates. It is also planned to repaint the interior of the building as soon as possible. "The plumbing installed in the prisoners' quarters is nbt well protected. Unless a box is built aver the pipes, the inmates will probably break out sections to aid them in at - ?????

Showman Uses Picture and Alleged Remark as Roost. Governor Robert A. Cooper passed through Greenwood yesterday on his way to the community fair at Ware Shoals where he was the guest of honor. He returned to Columbia last might, but he was a very indignant governor when he passed through on the return trip, says a Greenwood dispatch. The cause thereof was this: Shortly after he got on the train at Shoals Junction, C. A. Abbott, of Greenville, who was on the train, approached the governor and showed him a large poster gotten out by a carnival show nroDrietor on which the show man had a group picture of Governor Cooper, Former Governor John Gary Evans, Mayor Floyd, of Spartanburg, and himself and under the cut he had a remark attributed to Governor Cooper, saying: "I have heard some mighty nice things about your show." The manner in which the picture was secured was recalled by Governor Cooper, but the remark was a pure invention, he said. The showman i?ot the picture in this way: Last spring Spartanburg put on a Prosperity week entertainment. Governor "Cooper attended one day. He ? ^ t ? i ana former ixovernur junu uai > i Evans and Mayor Floyd had lunch together at one of the Spartanburg hotels. As the three came out /to1 gether a man with a camera rushed up and asked for the privilege of making a picture of the three. Governor Cooper said that while nothing was said about who was making the picture he thought it was for one ,of the Spartanburg papers. The three, Governor Cooper, Former Governor Evans and Mayor Floyd, put on their most dignified of ficial looks and faced the camera man. Just as he was ready to "shoot" another man slipped up by Governor Cooper's side and remained there long enough "to get in the picture." Nothing was thought of it as it was supposed to be one those individuals who cannot resist the temptation to be seen with high officials sometimes. As it turns out now the man who slipped up just in time to get in the nintnre was a showman and he is using the picture and the' alleged complimentary remark of the governor's to boost the shows. The big poster was printed in Philadelphia in June, and the man has been showing all over Pennsylvania. Virginia and other states in the meanwhile, and has evidently found it a great advertising feature. Governor Cooper does not see it that way and he was much * wrought up over it. If there is any way to handle the showman he proposes to see that it is done. .Mr. AODOit s part m me uiatuei 10 due to his friendship for Governor Cooper and the effect the thing may have if not checked. He was in a Virginia town not long since and just after he had registered the hotel clerk said: "I see you are from the state where the governor has boosted a carnival show which the police here threatened to close up this week." Then he showed Mr. Abbott a copy of the offending picture of Governor Cooper, Former Governor Evans and Mayor Floyd, ollairoii romorl- r\ f OrtVdPTinr Willi tug ctXUUtUiU VTA. \xv r %/* AAW* Cooper, "I have heard some mightynice things about your show." Governor Cooper never said anything of the sort and had no idea the picture taken in front of the Spartanburg hotel would ever be used to advertise a carnival show, otherwise it would never have be n made.
