Been Hark to Smoaks I The State Hoard of Charities and Corrections has completed fts pre liminary survey of the penal institu tions in Colleton county. Albert D. ‘Oliphaitt, assistant secretary of the Board, spent Saturday in Waiter- boro inspecting the jail and chain- gang camp. The agent of the Board was accompanied to the chain-gam; .camp, near Sniders, by Capt. P. M. Buckner and W.-W. Smoak. Through the courtesy of Capt. Buckner, the trip to \he chain-gang wjfs mado> m his automobile. After lie had, visited the county jail Saturday afternoon with Deputy 'Sheriff Padgett. Mr.. Oliphant ad vanced |he opinion that the-prison- ers’ quarters-at the jail should-be remodeled ami made more secure. He said that the Colleton Jail was very similar in external and internal con struction to the Orangeburg jail, on which by the recommendation of the State. Boat'd 6f Charities’ and Correc tion. backed by thi grand jury, about 15.000 was to be spent this year in making repairs. ' ( The Colleton-jail Is .hard to keep' clean and free from vermin/at pres ent. said Mr. Oliphant. * "I found it Saturday in very good condition con sidering its construction. The wood en floor or the jail should be torn ut and replaced with a concrete floor. The wooden partitions in the main cyll room should be removed. The windows should be enlarged to doublo'flieir present -width. Other improkements. looking to making the jail easVr to keep sanitary, better ventilated and safer, suggest them-" 1 selves, among them, tearing down the* wooden, casing of the^wall and replacing the wooden stair* with iron stairs.” v The assistant secretary of the Board expressed his pleasure at the attitude .4’olltoh officials had shown toward the work the Board has. un dertaken. •'The Board is per-king the c'n-op eration of county officials to better the conditions under which prison ers. paupe.rs and convicts live,” ,ie said. "I have every reason to be lieve the Colleton officials in charge of these classes will meet us more „ |han half way.”* Mr. Oliphant will make to the TIoard detailed reports of his obser vations in Colleton: ‘ Copies of these reports will be sent to the sheriff and road commissioner along with the recommendations of the Board’s rep resentative. A little later in the , year the Board will appoint a local committee of visitors in Colleton cojihty. ”One of the things the Board Is striving to do is to awaken interest In each bounty in the management of Its penal and charitable institutions,” Mr. Oliphant explained! "The Hoard asks its local Committees to interest them selves in these institutions and then interest other people in them. The Board feels that once the pufdlc Is inffnilH'd It may expect rapid im- ’jrrovenr'nt in the conditions which , smTonnd the criminal and pauper classes.” Mr Oliphant said that the road from Walter boro to t’’e chain-gang camp 'V3-\, one of the best lie had s"en in’ the low country. • • CAN I.WfiDABK \\NOtM Ks' “Yes. sir. I am the man who pre sided the Southern Hailway check for $400 at the Smoaks Banking Company and asked to have it cash ed," said F. P. Love to a well known citizen of the county in conversa tion early in the week ‘’And’ you cart say to anyone asking about it th&t this check was cashedT>y*a hank in St. George and a record of it rcan be found in that bank if my state ment is questioned.” continued "Dr.** Love'. It appears that Dr. Love, w ho is a horse docU^r and a dealer in cat tle. accord Ijgto the story told a Prers anontandard reporter by a gentleman who lives near to Dr. IjOvc*. had Jh«|. vicinity of Smoaks several days prior to the re cent robbery of <he Smoaks Banking Company, wlien 'fl.b75.8fi was stolen and the cashier, A. <\ Thomas, shut in the vault of. the hank. Ho was there selling some medicine to several farmers in the Smoaks com munity, among thesV |»eing‘8: P. J. Garris and W.'H.-Varn, and pur chasing some cattle from J. M. Smith. Sr.. Mrs. •Genie Strickland and others., Uiyining short in money to make his pprcjiases he desired t j have this Southern Knilwatr cheek cashed, and for that purpose wont into the Smoaks Banking Companv. The cashier refused to cash the check dn account, of the inability of the stranger to .seehre proper iden- tAlcation. • 1 i According to the story told by Mr.' Thomas this same stranger, in company with n “tall slender man." came hack a •week later a-nd at Ihe^ point of a pistol, held him up and secured nearly *2.«6« in cash from^ the bank, knocking . hiip senseless and drugging diim, - and after shut ting him in the vault made goo>l their escape, leaving no clue. Since that time ePorts ha\-' )ecn t iade to locate the stranger who, came to the hank with the Southern Railway check. It will he recalled that f'asb- ier Thomas and Deputy Sheriff Pad gett went to Dillon a few days after the robherv t-o identify two riien held there under suspicion, but af ter seeing these men they were re leased as not being the right ones, v According to Dr. Love’s own story told this gentleman with whom The Press and Standard reporter talked, there is no mystery surrounding his effort to get his check cashed; He stated that he has since been back to Smoaks to get the cattle pur chased on this trip. The check in question was given Dr. Love by the Southern Railway in settlement of b-claim he had against the railroad company for Injuries sustained In falling through a hole In the depot at Summerville. » Dr.-Love lives near the river in Dorchester county. His postoffice is Grover, and he has a tract of land there on which he keeps cattle and hogs, turkeys, etc. His family re sides near Asheville.' N. but Dr. l.ove 'spends a good portion of his Mn:e „on Ms farm near Grover. He is n.boyt fi-l >ejus of age. and is hale and hearty, having grey imlr and n grev mustache.

By noon few were left in the capital city; and the incidents of the recent session were fast becoming A matter of memory* Many of the legislators left Saturday . afternoon before the’ closing hours of the ses sion had been reached. The recent session of lite legisla ture was one of marked enthusiasm and enterprise. Many who have fol lowed fortunes of general assemblies through a long period of years char acterize the one just closed as ex traordinary replete w ith “earnestness and Industry. Mute testimony is proffered to these qualities in th" number of bills prepare*! and con sidered and the rokimc of legislation efrermi. Nearly 4on acts were rat ified, and approximately 300 more introduced and advanced on the cal endar, than at the previous, session. D.-sks in filing rooms are literally submerged with dead forms of life less bills into which had been breath ed the hopes and aspirations of many political satellites, struggling for recognition, and with each dying gasp of a measure, the patriotic au thor beheld the glory of his native State departing and the people de prived of redeeming legislation. Though many lulls were shuffled into hoppers to be carted to the garbage heap, the recent session of the legislature produced an abnor mal volume of . positive legislation. The magnitude of this must be sej-n in retrospect in appreciate properly. The major porMbn of acltf were baaed on th^ broad principle/of the need* of the masses and ar«\ in harmony with the polities advocated in Ihe most progressive States. Welfare nnd Kcoitomy. Close to the head of the. list stands Ihf. McCollough child labor bill, raising the age limit for,the • m- ploymenl of children in factories, mines Or textile plants from 12 to 11 ve.us. This Iff to. become’•efTc* live January 1. 1!*17. One of the strong est offered for the passage of the bill was the decisive action of the national congress, to pas* Mi«> Keat ing- bill of similar import for the country at large. . „ . Another, measure long advocated, to pass at this s**ss1on, was the In troduction of the Torrens system of land title registration By this plan, once the fit|«. to real estate 0 Fs es tablished and recorded, the necessity of exhaustive research. Is precluded, and the saving ()f large attorney fees-effected. ~ ' Th** third act. which Is but the en tering- jyedg'* Qf s a tremendous ad vance, soon to fed low in a similar di rection. is th" appropriation to en courage the teaching of agriculture in tire public schools.
