The care of the poor and unfortun ate of Barnwell ('ounty as represent ed by the inmates of the Almshouse is progressing, and improvements are b. ing made slowly a nd surely, both in administration and in the perman ent plant of the institution. Quarters are now screened, and a diring room nrovided for the white inmates, which is a vast improvement over the pre- visious accomodations. Provision is not yet made for proper bathing facili ties, nor are sewerage facilities satis factory. No provision U made for the care of the sick. The score for permanent plant is 259 out of a possible 4(H) points. The management is handicapped by the lack of facilities. Bathing must be done ir, tubs, and the water carried, no attendant is provided to give aid in bathing if necessary. The appear ance of the inmates is excellent under For Sale at Auction In Front of Court House at Barnwell Monday (Salesday) Oct. 4th, 1926 .

The condition of quarters was satisfactory on the day of inspection. The grounds are well kept. The score for management is 291 out cf a possible 400 points. ' The (wildings are in fair repair, one or two of the piazza floors arc wealing, aid will need repairing shortly. The ragged edges are danger ous to the infirm inmates. The staff is inadequate; the cooking is don^ bv a hired man (formerly a convict as signed from the chain garag. but now discharged ami hired to do the cook ing) but no able bodied peiscn is present to give aid to the aged, or to give special attention in case of sickness. • - The «*•* r.* for rep.-ir, equipment ami personel is 135 out of a possible 200 points. ^Thu-total score (1926) for the Barnwell County Almshou-'e is 685 out of u possible 1.000 points, the total score for 1925 was 647. Kecommendations. 1. That serious consideration be given to providirg the institution with water connections and sewerage. 2. That timely repairs be given to the piazza floors. 3. That an able-bodied person be mployed as attendant to give aid in bathirg if necessary, and special attention in case of sickness. Barnwell County Jail. Boncil H. Dyches, Sheriff; G. M. Main, Jailer. • No changes or additions have been made at or to the permanent plant of the Barnwell County Jail. Three (ompartments constitute the facili- ti.s for classification, which facili ties do not provide for proper care of wemer (an insane or feeblemind ed negro’ woman is occupying the corridor o£ the section used by negro men) nor is there any way to separate sick or juvenile prisioners. The score for peimaner.t plant is 290 out of a possible 400 points. The lack of facilities for classifica tion is a serious handicap to the jailer, manalgiiment is sptendid under the circumstances. On the day cf inspec- tior “all permanent plant and equip ment” was 'not ready for use, in that two of the down stairs cells were be ing used for storage purposes, - In case of an emergency or a riot these cells would have to bi> cleared j out, at considerable* less of time. The j dieting fee allows only two meals a day to the prisoners. The sccfe for management is 319 j out of a possible 400 points. The jail is in good repair and 5 s particularly secured by a high plank fence to enclose the prison yard en trance. The inside walls of the prision section is covered with uncouth drawings aid writings and needs , *•* ^ painting or calsomining. The score for repair and equipment is 183 out of a possible 290 points. The tof*! score <1926) for the Barnwell County Jail is 792 out of a possible 1,000 points. The totfri sc or* for 1925 was 177.

Each year at this time thousands of bales of cotton arc dumped on the market regardless of price. Do you realixe that after deducting the cost of just picking ar.d ginning if bale of cotton, the farmer is getting about 10c per pound for it. Do you think this condition can last? During the past few years, it has not been profitable to hold cotton—but dor.’t forget—people heW cotton when prices were around twenty two cents. There is quite a difference now, with cotton selling in some interior towns below fourteen cents. If you wish to hold any cotton. I will advance you ten to twelve cents per pound upon it. Fifty cents per bole per morjth covers both storage and insurance. You will see by these rates that if you held your cotton for two months, it would only amount to $1.00 per bale. - • # # Should you ship any cotton to me, you may rest assured when you ordered it sold, you will get the correct weights, grades and prices.

The veteran secretary of the fair, D. F. Efird, is confident that this year’s fair will be the best ever given. There are many .splendid features for the 192/6 fair. The officials have planned a well balanced program so a,s to give the people both educational and amusement entertainment. The Carolina - Clemson game will, of course., be played at ncort Thursday. There will be a fine historical page ant, a larger flower show than ever before, horse racing, tilting tourney, and other interesting events. Much interest has been shown by the. people throughout the State and it is believed that the crowd will be even larger han the^record crowd of last year. Williston D. A.
