Sanders Improving Conditions at Penitentiary?Other Capital News? Land Bank Not Yet in Oper? ation. Columbia, March 23.?John John? son, a negro, 45 years old, was elec? trocuted at the State penitentiary this morning for the killing of the Rev. Hugh Harrelson in Dillon coun? ty last fall. He did not make a statement after being placed in the chair. The three sons of the Jate Mr. Harrelson witnessed the execution. Many improvements in the accord modations for the prisoners of the State penitentiary are being made by Mr. Sanders, the new superintendent. Among the humanitarian efforts are the installation of a range in which to cook the food of the prisoners In? stead of the old kettle arrangement in which only one kind of food could be cooked; Knives and forks and plates will replace the plate and spoon and the meals will he served by a waiter. Oil-covered tables and stools for the prisoners are being put in instead of the old wooden benches where the j prisoners formerly gathered for their meals. Lights will be put in the pris | oners' cells and they will be permitted to smoke and read in their cells un? til 9 p. m., and to write a letter once a week Instead of once a month as formerly. Mr. Sanders had a talk with the prisoners directly after he assumed charge of the prison and told them he wanted to have their cooperation and would work along the line of put? ting them on their honor. The new su? perintendent is a man of wide exper? ience in the handling of prisoners and he believes In appealing to the better side of their nature. Of course, this does not mean that punishment will not be meted out to those who are incorrigible and will hot respond to kind treatment or fair dealing, but Mr. Sanders thinks that the humani? tarian methods in use in the federal penitentiaries and the penitentiaries of other States should be put In use in the South Carolina Institution and he Is going to give them a fair trial. Gov. Manning has several times expressed himself as wanting to see the prisoners given some opportunity of reading and improving their minds and not being locked In their cells from 6 o'clock in the afternoon until the next morning with nothing to do. Ho was much interested when told of j the improvements begun at the peni? tentiary by Mr. Sanders and looks for? ward with confidence to a better era and better results all around. F. J.

BATTLE ON NEW LINE. New York, Maich 23.?Both the French and German announcements say that violent fighting is in pro? gress near St. Simon In the region in which the Germans have been re? treating. The French announce that the German attack was repulsed, the Germans being driven back three miles northeast of St. Simon. The Germans say they inflicted heavy loss? es on the French who tried to cross the Somme-Croza^: canal near St. Simon. The initial phase of the battle in northern France has apparently turn? ed in favor of the French since they an? reported to have crossed the Al? lege river and Crozat canal at sev? eral places. The Germans elected to make their first stand along these wa? terways In defense of Lafere, against which Gen. Nivelle Is rushing his advance to break Gen. von Hinden burg's line before It can be consoli? dated. French refugees add evidence to the accumulating proof that Gen. von Hlndenburg intends to give bat? tle along the line from Lille to Laon. The question is whether the entente can bring up its heavy artillery quick enough to strike a smashing blow be? fore the Cermans can consolidate their new position. New interest is attaching to the campaign in western Persia and Mesopotamia as the converging forces of British and llussans approach each other northeast of Bagdad. The Rus? sians report another advance and ap? parently the two armies are now less than one hundred miles apart. Mnrriage License Record. A license to marry has been issued to H. T. Wood and Miss Dorella Da vis, Sumter. i D?KES POSH WORK ON PLANT. GREAT WATER POWER DE? VELOPMENT IN PROCESS NEAR CAMREN. Construction Will be Greatest in State and Completion to* Work is Ex? pected in Time to Deliver Current Next Winter?Cost Approximated at $5,000,000. Columbia, March 23.?Utmost ex? pedition is to be used by the Harda way Contracting company of Colum? bus, Ga?, in the construction of a 100,000 horsepower hydro-electric generating station for the Southern Power company at the point where Wateree creek and Catawba river join to form the Wateree river, even miles above Camden and 30 miles northeast of Columbia. The plant is to be the largest in the Duke system. The man? agement announces that it is desired to put tho installation Into use at the very earliest possible moment, to care for the increasing demands for cheap power. The station is ex? pected to begin delivering current late next fall. The Hardaway company is building for the same interests a big develop? ment at Bridgewater, near Morgan ton, N. C, and has recently completed for them a plant at Fishing creek in York county. The station near Cam? den will be tho seventh in the Duke chain to derive power from the Ca tawba-Wateree. The others are at Great Falls, Fishing Creek, Rocky Creek, Catawba, Lookout Shoals and Bridgewater. The plant near Camden is to be known as the Wateree. About $5,000,000 altogether will be expend? ed on the Watere development. The Hardaway contract alone, based on unit prices, will approximate $2,000, 000. The Manufacturers Record quotes an unnamed "authoritative" source as follows: "This latest plan is to be by far the largest ever erected by the South? ern Power company, Fishing Creek, with a capacity of 4 0,000 electric horsepower, being the nearest to it. That it is of but 100,000 electric horsepower instead of being much larger is attributable, it is said, to the inability of the company to secure needed real estate at a price which would Justify the additional expendi? ture. It was planned to erect a much larger plant than this, and all ar? rangements preliminary to the letting of the contract were completed to this end, but the failure to obtain need? ed lands at a reasonable price re? sulted in a material reduction in the size of the plant." PLAN PREPAREDNESS. National Council of Defense Consider Industrial Problems in Case of War. Washington, March 24.?The Nat? ional Council of Defense at meeting with its advisory committee today planned to consider what should be done in the way of industrial pre? paredness, and what wae more neces? sary.
