The condition of the Williamsburg 5 county jail remains satisfactory. The plumbing has recently beer, repaired; some additional blankets have been secured; and several excellent night ' buckets purchased. The greatest fault of the jail is the lack of hot vater and charges of clothing so that newly committed 1 prisoners could be compelled to take * a bath and wash their roiled clothing. 5 Unless these precautions are taken 3 the jail may become infected with 1 5 vermin. The cost of the eradication 1 ' of vermin may greatly exceed the ecst of a hot water tank and half a dozen suits of overalls and under' clothes. 5 The dieting fee of forty cents a ! 5 j day is low considering the small pop- ' 1 j ulation, especially since the county ( dees not pay for a cook. Two meals ' ; I are given each day. The breakfast 1 ' I usually consists of hominy, biscuit. 1 ') syrup, ana fri-'d bacon. The dinner { ', is corn bread, boiled baccn, and some ! boiled vegetable. Fresh beef is giv- 1 en on Sunday. 1 li i Report on County Chain Gangs. ' Three faults stand out at both Wil- ^ : liamsburg county chain gang camps, j The soil pits in use need more earth j ' thrown into them each day to pre- j * vent the breeding of flies in the ref- j use; the kitchen cars are unscreened; jr and the tents for the trusties are in J( poor repair. The food at both camps 1 seems unusually good. Camp No. 1, under Foreman Pri- j vate, is now equipped with an ex- 1 cellent cage of 18/men capacity. The c tiustees' tent while better than the 1 one in use last year, is not satisfac- * tory and is not covered with a fly. The condition of the beds at camp } No. 2, under Foreman Brown, was 1 commendable, The mattresses are * sunned once a week and the wooden bunks scalded. The kitchen car not j only needs screens -but is in very poor 1 repair. The attitude of the foreman t to his men and his work is excellent. J H. C.
