DWIhsoN COLM'AilC m:\vs. Davidson College, Oct. 7.?The preliminary debate to choose the debatora for the coming Davidson Carolina debate was held last night in Shearer hall. The judges, decided on .Messrs. King o| Georgia and Marvin of Florida, as the ones t?i represent Davidson and Messrs. Stake and Mc? Queen as alternates. There were bIn debators In this contest, these having been select* d from a previous debate held in the society balls, Messrs. King and Marvin have the negative side in the question, resolved: That Commission Form of Government should be adopted generally through-, OUt the United States. Carolina has the affirmative. The question this year was selected by the Dav idson De-1 bating Council and sent to Carolina who had the choice of sides. Carolina immediately took the affirmative. This debate will be held in charlotte on Thanksgiving night instead of at Rock Hill, as formerly. This year decides Who shall get tiie cup as it has been won one year by each team. David? son is unfortunate in not having hack this year either of the last year s de bat ors, but the new team hopes to put ' up a strong debate and with the back? ing of the student body we are hope , ful of a successful season. Much interest has been taken this year In the tennis tournament. There welt' thirteen double teams entered for the championship. Messrs. Pirn and Johnson finally won the doubles and will therefore represent David? son In any inter-collegiate tennis this year. Mr. Pirn was a member of the team last season. The singles are, still being played. The orchestra ryis been holding se? cret practices lately preparatory to giving a concert on the hill. These concerts are always enjoyed by all ami the orchestra this year hopes to uphold the reputation of former ones. The Sumter Club was re-organized recently and Mr. Earle Rowland was elected president and Mr. Alfred Scarborqugh vice president. There arc ten boys at Davidson this year from I Sumter which is the largest number for several years.

KlTIA TO GRAND JURY. Supervisor Pitts Makes Statements of Facts Relative to Presentment. M r. Edit >r: I wlsl to be allowed to use the columns of your paper to reply to the recent presentment of the Grand J ury. 1 feel confident that that body did not Inte itionally do me an injustice, but that their conclusions were based upon an Imperfect knowledge of the1 conditions whic h control the handling of convicts. 1 admit that the sani? tary nil Ition of the prisoners' cage is not perfect nor as gOOd as 1 would have it, but the lack of proper sani? tation Is caused by the utter Indiffer? ence shown by the convicts to their! own personal cleanliness. This is not at all surprising as the most of them ? ompoae the scum of our poulation. My instructions to the Superintendent of the (?haingang are to have the taue cleaned and disinfected daily and thoroughly scoured on Saturday afternoo I, which instructions I learn from observation are carried out. Is the fact that the cage had not been cleaned out at 11 o'clock on the days that the Grand Jury committee visit? ed the Gang, proof positive that it was not done before the prisoners were put in at night? It is not al? ways c( nvenlent to have the daily clean-up the first part of the day. The fact that we have paid only eight dol? lars for medical attention in the last six mon ha certainly seems to estab? lish the fact that the health of the convicts, whose average number is thirty-five, has not been impaired by the unsanitary condition of the camp. As to the waste of food stuffs, ob? served I y the committee, I can only say that it is not of frequent oc? currence. I am at the camp several times each week and have never seen meat upon the ground. I have, upon several ?ccasions, seen small quanti? ties of neal wasted from torn sacks and a little spilled by the cook in petting it from the sack. I do not recall ever having seen grits, rice or other p 'OVisions scattered on the ground. J am now feeding the pris? oners oi rice, cabbage, meal, grits, butts and syrup and giving tobacco to those who ( hew it. at a total cost Of .11' l-2c per diem. This figure, taken into consideration with the statement of one of the committee as to the apparent good health of the convicts, should preclude the idea of waste? fulness ?f provisions. 1 hav ? always honestly endeavored to have the convicts properly clothed, fed and managed humanely and I re lt. t exceedingly that appearanc es have created the Impression that 1 have been derelict in my duty. As to the charge? that. 1 have neg leeted t<? properly screen the jail, I will say that I had screen doors put in and sliding screen windows in the prison section. 1 also purchased and delivered to the jail adjustable screen Windows for the residence portion of the building, but why the jailer has not used them I do not know. 1 think that the committee should have got? ten all the facts, before presenting me for failure to carry out their instruc? tions. 1 haw noted carefully the present? ment Of the grand jury and I shall do all within my power to better condi? tions mentioned. Respectfully submitted, P. If. PITTS, Supervisor Sumter County. Sumter, Oct. 10, 1913. DON'T MISTAKE THE CAUSE. Many Sumter People Have Kidney Trouble and Do Not Know It.
