An interesting case tried todry is that of Bcuhard Bros vs. F J. fhich is a suit to collect is in explanr-Mcn of charges made by the grand Jury in its present ment as published last week. To the Editor of the Press and Standard: Abovp^ ell things that are both unpleasant and unprofitable are coi" roversles through the public press. However, I cannot keep from telling my position In view of the fact of the Ugh* in which the grrod Jury threw me by their general presentment at the last term of court. First of all, I was summoned be fore this gratid jury and explained the whole mrbter, as I shall at tempt in this article to explain It to the public generally; and the gran Jury expressed themselves as being perfectly satisfied with whr-t I had stated. They held It up to the public and to the court that the expenses of the chain ang for med ical treatment had been so much- heavier during my term r.x phy sician than that of the previous one. They had me charged with my salr-ry, $96, and with post mor tem and dissecting bodies. $50. and lum-Mcs’ examinations. $30 and three dcses of medicine which ! ad- miniatered to three cf the convicts under special direct iers of the superintendent; each dcse costing $50, making a total of $150. They also hr-d me charged with the drug bills, both at Klien's rrd at the Waltcrhoro Drug Company, when these things are taken intu^consid- eiatjcn there might be room to sr-y that there has not been quite so much •'graft” rs some poo pie wculd suspect as these mat ter* are exfrai-ecu* to my con tract with the ccunty. There has been more sickness In the chajn grin tMs j«tr than in previous years; and this was ca-uscd by hav ing a larger <haln g»i"g than ever befe re, erd the authorities keep ing the chain gang from Mr-y to July In the low country against explicit Instructions and dlrtl^- tions. ^ n hardly refrain from express ing myself much more forcibbly thi-a I have in this article, but be ing cf the mind that the grand jury intended ro such slur as they did cast, 1 am . forced to hold my temper, and write mildly r-bout the same.

If one caJls the old average 30 cents per man per da) 1 , then the saving of 15 cents per day for each of 30 men amounts to $4.50 per day for the camp or over $1,600 per year.

To the editor of The Press and Standard: I notice the presentment of the rar*d Jury, and your comments anl editorial in your paper of Nov. 29, 1911. 1 commend &nd fully agree with your editorial of the grand Jury'a presentment. The road that I bnilt from Bus- xard’a Roost Avenue, leading to Parker’s Ferry across Alligator Lead is a public road, and one of the roads that nearly the entire white population of Fraser Town ship travels to come to and from this place. The bridge across the Lead was built by the chain gang, the lumber wte sent from Walter boro and 1 think the width of the bridge is about aix (61 feet The grand jury makes it appear a very large bridge. You ask in one of your comments “Did the chain gi-ng get sick while camping at Buzzards Roost?" which I can Mibwer. No. for they never camped at Buzzard’s Roost, . and they never got sick down here, we never had a doctor here live 2 F-2 months they stayed down here. In the same comment you say: “By th way, do buzzards and alligators need sand clay r.oi-ds.” In answer I say Ihty do not. unless you call the people who live and travel this road ‘Buzzard’s and Alligators" then I say they do need them, »he people who ll\e Mid travel this rosd are: Messrs. J. R. Reynolds and three grown sons and family, W. R. Reynolds and family, Mrs. faddet-and fMiiily. Mr. W. A. Rey nolds and family! Mr. H. Hodgs-s and fapilly, J. I. Garvin and fani&v. C. F. Garvin and family, Allie GivV. Un and family. A. L. Savage and\ family. W. P. Sires and family. W F. Sirts anti family. W. F. Hodges, a-nd family, C. F. Hodges and fam ily, Josh Gar\ii< and family. Mr. Berry Hudson who teaches at -Mr Josh Gr-rvih’s and about 15 white men at a logging camp for .the Bur ton Lumber Co., and a great many negrots who live out that side and at Parker’s Ferry besides any ot^J who in traveling from Parker’s Fer ry to Jacksonboro or Jacksonboro Ferry. The grand jury sa-ys the cost of the chain gang for a ywar to Cvt. 1st, Is $9251.18 or $770.93 per month, they do not say how much of this amt. was for mules, mule- feed, harness, etc., or where this amount wr« incurred and for what We only took the chain ge-ng in March 1911 and how much roads the chain gang has built and where and at what cost. They were In session long enough to give every Item, and I say “hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may,” let every man defet-d him self. Then regarding the physician attending the chain gang. Mr. Grif fin told me and the chairman thiU if any of the gang got sick to send them to the Jail ai*i the County Physician would atterd them for nothing that he hgd made that cjt- rangement with him I look upon the chain gang as one of the best institutions that the 'county has ev er had. hut they have got to be work* d prcperly r-nd made to pay. I believe in feeding them and treat ing them good and make them work to pay for their keeping, etc. I believe with the Editor, that the chi-ln gang should be syvtetnfced and not abolished There is one Ibii-g that I would recommend and flat is that th*re should be a wnre; Hams; W.
