At'a meeting of the Jail Commission held in the offce of Supervisor Watts last week, plans iwere discussed for early construction of the proposed county Jail provided for in the meet ing of the 1917 session of the General Assembly. The chairman of the com mission was instructed to advertise for bids to be opened at an early date and it is expected Ahat work upon the new .building -will be undertaken soon after bids are opened. It will be remembered that. an ap propriation was made for the building in the 1917 session of the General As selibly, but on account of the advanc ing cost of material and the request from the government to hold ulp build Ing operalious during the war the plans were held in abeyance until a more favorabel time. At, the meeting of the dommission last week it was thought advisabl to take Ip the mat ter again. 'The commission has had several plans of jail building in contempla tion, but it is understood that plans similar to the Newberry county jail have been most favorably received. In all probability these plans will be fol owed iwith the exception that as much space will not be given to the sheriff's living quarters. It is estimated that the sheriff's quarters in the Newberry jail cost about $18,000 and the local commission will hardly authorize such a large expenditure for this part of the building. The commission will most probably make provision for iodest quarters for a keeper only. CAMPAION FOR SEWANEE RECEIVES ENDORISEMENT Prominent Men Throughout the South' Endorse Mrovement. Dr. It. E.
