OUR CHAIN GANG For the 1ast few weks the papers (:f the- !tet . have betn full of articles en the cLain 'angs of South Carolina, contir.winev on a report made by a < c rtain cn.mJflitt( e, t, th e cfeet that <ir eain gang's were unsanitary, ljrutal in treatmenT if convicts, etc. It is a tenuire pleasure to note that this is not the case in the P'ckens County chain gang. From the re port (if the Staite Board of Public Wielfare hvli,,h appears in this issue of the paper it is clearly seen that t.he things that havebeen charged are not true. Our Supervior and Foreman of the chain sganc' are to be congratulate.l or, the splendid showing they have mrade. While there was a possible score of 1000 that' could have been made, yet w" f((l that as we are all human h! inrts. and subjects to mis takes, that the score of 754 is as i.(ar i rfect as could be fmle. Our SI eriff as w( l as the Supervi sor of the Alms. Home are al.,o to bc c igratulat'-d (n the good recor. Iney have 'haste. We feel that the offiaers in charge of the:-e in titutii'ns are d anc the very herb that they ran and we ar, proud of them.
