HOSIERY MILL 1 TO BE ABOLISHED John IM. Graham Will Can sei Contract. HELD FIVE YEAR CONTRACT WITH STATE Rather Than Have I.Miration Graham Decides To Abide II) Ruling of Leg islature to Abolish The Mill, Is At Present Employing ?-tt of The But Convicts at The State Ten. Anderson. Aug IT.?Henry W. Glenn, one of the the directors oi the State , Penitentiary, stated tonight that dipt. .lohn1 M. Graham, who holds a live year contract, dated three years ago, for the labor employed In tin- hosiery , mill, appeared before the board at the meeting held In Columbia on last Thursday and announced that he would submit win.out any litigation to the order abolishing the mill on No vember 1, next, at which time his con tract will be cancelled. Capt. Graham stated that he preferred to conclude his contract, but that he thought best to abide by the action of the legisla ture and that he would turn over the convicts employed by him to the board November 1, without any effort to retain them. Director Glenn says that tin- board having this assurance from Capt. Gra ham discussed the matter of employ ing the labor now engaged in the ho siery mill, but no definite action would lie taken until next Wednesday week, when no adjourned meeting would be held in Columbia. The directors, it is sold, arc unani mous in believing that the state is re ceiving as much as it could gel for the labor by the present contract witli Capt. Graham, and at the same time tile labor is being well cared lor. The matter of grinding lime by the labor for agricultural purposes was propos ed by Capt. Mobley, one of the direc tors, but this suggestion did not nice! with unanimous favor in the board meeting. Letters were addressed to all State penitentiaries to learn what disposi tion is made of the convict labor, and when the board meets next week they will have replies giving valuable in formation to guide them to some con clusion. There are about four hundred convicts in the penitentiary now, und of this number __."> uro employed in the mill. The remaining t'> are em ployed about the Penitentiary yard or in the buildings, while a large number are unable to do any labor at all. The proposition to send the able-bodied men out on the country roads does not meet with favor because the directors say Hint' tlie apportionment to onch county will not be more than three or four, more would be unwise because of these few conjvicts will be too heavy on the counties. Then, too, they think this move would bo unwise be cause of these class of criminals now behind the walls of the Penitentiary. Capt. Glenn admits that the directors are up against a big proposition and he is not willing to make any predic tion as to what will be done. Tlie liest I';iin hiller.

Harry Ktlard In Cincinnati Com mercial Tribune. ROADS THAT GO SOMEWHERE NOW AN INCESSANT DEMAND One Plan Would Connect All State Capitals With Highways. "Roads to go somewhere" is an ex pression heard Incessantly In connec tion with the country wide attention to the Improvement ..." the highways. A road ex.ending across u township, of course, has value; it has increased valUO when it goes ac ross a county; It has considerably Increased value when It extends across a stale, but It is of Infinitely more value when it extends from stale to state across the conti nent. "If I had my way about it I would luiild a great national system of roads lending from our national capital to the capital of every state In the Uli ion. Some say that that would bank rupt (he government Have you ever Stopped to think what it would cost? Probably 18,000 miles would complete a trunk line through every capital. To build the best road that modern en gineering has devised would make the average about $12,000 per mile. The western half of these roads will cost a whole lot less than the eastern half. Eighteen thousand ,miles multiplied by $12.000 makes $210,000.000. We have spent millions of dollars upon the Im provement of rivers and harbors and millions of dollars on the Improvement of the I?unama canal," said .1. M. I.owe. president of tho National Ohl Trails Ocean to Ocean road, the other day. In Connection with road matters, va rious parts of the country show grad ually Improving methods in regard to highway Improvement. Arkansas has just voted to establish a slale highway dcpnrlincut, while Idaho has done tho same, in addition to which an appro priation of $200,000 has been made for laying, surveying and starling th.>n Struclioil of a system of stale Muh ways. Promising legislation is Pentl ing in Main?'. Pennsylvania, Missouri and several other states. PLANS FOR ILLINOIS ROADS. Would Allow Various Counties to De fray All Expenses. Hard road building came into the II llnols senate in a new form when Al bert <'. Clark of Chicago put in a bill providing for a county road system, It provides for a referendum plan of appointing three county road commis sioners in a county that may decide to take up hard road building These points tire urged in favor of the plan: First.- It is an equitable plan, spread ing the cost of Constructing main mads over all the taxable property ii? the county. Second. It tends to make continuous main roads, with no breaks at the township lines. This desirable feature is never attained under the township plan, while towji line roads invariably suffer. Third.?Money enough is secured to Improve dltllCUlt pieces of road that could never bo touched under tow nship supervision, Fourth.?Under the county [dan there are always two experienced men on the board. This tends to retain skilled em ployees In their positions, and it is true that county roads, as a rule, are dis tinguishable by their superior work manlike features. Fifth.?Tho county plan tends (o economize in tho matter of road build ing equipment Graded a H?lt Mile For $700. One traction engine, one road . ratler and three men graded a half iiillo of road In one day. This was accom plished on a Rlley county (Kan.i road at a cosl of $7.00. The engine, run ning on kerosene, consumed fuel :>t the rate of twenty gallons n day. which, at a cost of T'j cents a gallon, cost $1.00 Three men were tie.airy to do the work, one (<> run the enp ??? and two on the grader'.

(JOYKRNOR BLEA8E SAYS NAY, Tills Barocwell Sheriff Can't Irreal \iicgcd Georgia Puglthe Without Requisition Papers, Barnwell, August 16.-?Governor Blease has placed Sheriff .1. B. Mor ris, of this county, in a very embar rassing position by his refusal last night to allow the Bamwetl official to arrest an alleged murderer from Geor gia. Sheriff Morris had been request ed by ti-.v sheriff of Richmond count v. Georgia, to be on the lookout for Will Rush, a negro, who is charged with having committed murder last Decem ber. Rush was located at O'.ar and a warrant for his arrest was sent to' the sheriff here, Capt. Morris went to Olar last night to get his man and found hint in the employ of Or. Lay ton Hartzog. Dr. Ilartzog objected to being deprived of his cook, and asked that he be allowed to communicate with Governoi Blease. lie did tins over the telephone and the Governor Informed t'apt. Morris that he had no1 right to arrest the negro without re quisition papers. Oovernor Blenso, it is said, told Dr. Hartzog that if requi sition papers wore gotten out that he would set a date for a hearing that as the etlorgia ofllcers refused to at test fugitives wanted in this State they would be accorded the same treatment, the reference doubtless be ing to the Jittchry ease. Having no oth er recourse Sheriff Morris was obliged to leave Olar without his prisoner. The affair has caused considerable adverse criticism of the governor, both hero and at Olar. In addition Sheriff Morris is embarrassed over not being able to arrest men for the Georgia authorities, who, he says, have always done all that they could to assist him in arresting criminals wanted in this county.
