Made November 26, 1921, by Asst. Sec. H* C. Brearley. The building of the Union county jail is one of the most unsatisfactory in South Carolina. The entrance to the prisoners' quarters is by one wooden stairway. Should this stairurn it nal U*/* Atrnn v?wu lit C ovwy pvisuu VII UIV second story would burn to death. In several similarly constructed jails in the state a trap door has been cut in the floor to provide two entrances to the second story of the building. * Such a provision at the Union jail would decrease the tremendous Are risk of the present management. The building has been whitewashed during the past year and attempts to keep it in proper condition. The bedding, however, is not as clean as it might me. Only two meals a day are served. It would seem that the prisoners would fare better were the generous amount of food now given divided into three meals instead of two. Some provision for warm water is needed so each newly committed person would be compelled to take a bath before being placed with the other prisoners. The danger of contagion would also be reduced were each' new prisoner given clean blankets to keep him from contracting a disease from the former inmates. H. C. Brearley, Asst. Sec.

The Union county almshouse has been improved during the past year by employing a* suitable person to cook and help care for the inmates ar.d by supplying the superintendent with labor sufficient to run the farm Each of the 18 inmates was visited and all of them seemed to feel that Superintendent Willard and the county authorities were endeavoroing to . - .1 1 i Kivo tnem wiint t-uuuvrio wcrr ^obibla. The food is much better than the r average for similar institutions. Nearly all of the inmates are feeble or are mentally deficient so that they | can assist but little in the carrying I on of the farm. 1 For the still further improvement * r of this almshouse it is suggested that in the future only washable bedding ^ and covering be purchased, that the % cottages of the inmates be screened * i against flics and mosquitoes, and that ? the county physician be employed on a salary so that .he can be available at an time without the expense of paying for a separate visit. - a H.

Secretary H. C. Brearley. The condition of the Union county chain gang is rather satisfactory. The equipment is in fair condition and the attitude of the authorities is excellent. An unusual feature of this camp is that religious services are held each Sunday. A preacher who is serving time officiates, and the camp equipment includes his Bible and portable pulpit. Some of the needs of this chain gang are: The construction of a suitable box to protect the supplies from exposure to the weather, more frequent, washing of the bedding and covering used by the .negroes, -the addition of fresh meat about once a weefc to give variety to the food, the purchase of washable covers for the mattresses, and the issuing of clean blankets to each new prisoner to prevent his contracting a disease from bedding used by previous inmates.

Resigns Baptist Pastorate Much to the surprise and 1 egret of the congregation and membership of the Bamberg Baptist church, as well as the entire town, Revt Geo. P. White, local Baptist pastor, handed in his resignation last Sunday morning. Rev. White has been called to and accepted the pastorate of the Central Baptist church of Darlington, ind expects to enter upon his work at that place about the last of January, or possibly before. In resigning the pastorate of the Bamberg Baptist church, Rev. Mr. White took occasion to express his deep and abiding love for the people of the church and community. He said that it was with deep regret that he should leave Bamberg. He had found the Bamberg people most loyal, and his work here has been exceedingly pleasant. The people work together in a fine spirit of co operation; the church has made steady and abiding progress during his stay in Bamberg, and he feels that he has carried thu 'Bamberg work as far as he can. At the same time his new field of endeavor opens up possibilities -that he feels the Spirit calls him to assume. Rev. Mr. White came to Bamberg a little more than fdur years ago. following, nfter a period, the R.v. \V U. McMillan, who has gone to his re ward since leaving Bamberg. During these four years, the church has been strengthened to a marked degree. The church membership has been in creased about 130. while the Sunday school has almost doubled in attend ance. Other phases of church activity have made like progress. For these and other reasons th > congre gation of the church feels keenlv the loss of the pastor at this time. The Baptist pastor and his charm ing wife and children have endeared themselves to the people of Bamberg, whose best wishes will accompany them to their new home.?Bamberg Herald.

'TW(1 KHLffl IN I SERIES OF HOLDUPS II New York, Dec. 23.?Two men, one ? of them a bandit, were killed and two ! police detectives were seriously v.ounded as the result of a series of i holdups here tonight. Loon Sotille, wealthy cafe owner, was shot to death by a fusillade of Lullets fired by three mnsked bandits who were holding up the patrons of his cafe at 288 East 152nd street, Bronx. Sotille was behind the bar when the bandits entered and ordered all persons in the place to hold up their hands. The cafe proprietor made a dash for the door and all bandits fired. He dropped dead. The banits escape in an automobile from which the license plates had been removed. A short, time later two bandits entered a United Cigar store at 880 East l rem< ni avenue Bronx, and attempted to hold up the clerk. They were caught in the act by Detectives Timothy J. Council and Randall J. McCarthy who immediately opened fire, killing one of them. The other, ref ..vnin.f fUn ft?* ..U UiL iuiiiiiik um- iim-, imiiii uuui ucicvuvvb ir the face and escaped in an automobile, the number of which was obtained by the police. The detectives were taken to a hospital, where their condition was reported as serious. Another attempted holdup in the Bowery was frustrated when Abraham Edson, 27, put to flight two holdups who ordered him to hand over a tray of diamonds in his father's jewelry store. They had asked to look at some diamonds. Edson bent down to pull a tray from a show case and when he stood up he was looking into the muzzles of two revolvers. "Hand over the tray," one of the bandits commanded. Instead the young man ducked under the counter, grabbed a revolver and opened fire on the robbers, who ran out of the store and escaped by mingling with a large crowd of holiday shoppers. Edson fired four shota at the fleeing men but none of -there took effect. Jonesv:11* fertonab ^ Jonesville, Dec. 22.?Misses Ma?jr- -<" .
