inspections Report on Aims House, Jail and Gang The ' Item is in receipt of sevei-al communications from the State Board of Public Welfare, in ;, which the Board makes a report of the* results or the recent inspections of the coun . [ ty institutions. Score cards were en closed Which gare the ratings of. the different institutions in comparison with the ratings that it is possible to obtain. With a. possible l.OO? point?, the average made, by these institu tions is about 750, but it is interest ing to note that the fault, in each case far not reaching the standard is ? in the equipment and not in the man agement. Below are the reports on-i the several institutions. i Is several important particulars the-; HBp>W"iter county chain gangs have im proved since the- last inspection. The: clerk-of the JB?ard of County Com-i missioners- has instituted a system. of"j compete records that .alone has add-| eel, 38 points to the total scores of i eac'i foreman. The records showing j the work done and the cost of doing it ere the most satisfactory seen in sone time. The cost of feeding each; coD/ict for a day is thirty-seven and one-.'aalf cents. This is a little less than a sufficient variety of food can be purchased. It is probable that the amornit of work done would be in , cre^ised if the* prisoners were given a> v little more diversified diet. Bottr.of the camps are to be congratulated upon their/methods of sewage dispos al and the, personal hygiene ot the rv.. Convicts. - , , The "??main camp" under foreman #E H. Holland has the better equip ment and location. The. ''hcadquart-^ ers' camp, under Road Superintend-: cut A. D. Thompson has ah advantage! in .having no mules and mule pens| With-their .difficult sanitary problems, j ."Vir. Thornpsem's camp does not score as wefl as Mr. Holland's because ' the tents there are in poor condition and . need flies? -?In rainy weather - there must be almost no protection. -i T^iis camp also has a very unsatis ..:?axtory location on the edge of a - braj^eh in the midst of the\almshouse . .grave yard. Xo pump has yet been 7 ? put down and the water supply ia -not k., -. < convenient, so the convicts are liable . to drink the contaminated water near i&i anhand..' $ut ? .--'The S?mter county jail is very weil managed Nin spite of its inadequate plant Jailer D. W. Owens seems to ?i?*?fc&'i*$ conscientious man who does the best he can with- the resources at his v.\ ts6&ma.n&. Due to the. use of a large garden for the benefit of the prison ers the food supplied in this jail is n above the average. ._--,v Tlie bedding is cleaner than in any - of the ten jails already visited this * ? ?fear. The- chief immediate" needs of this "institution are a better heating >'sys-\ fern and. more hammocks and metal; . bunks, but even these improvements Sj^-adll not result in prnyiding. the courv ?">" t>'"with an adequate jail. The build ing is entirely too small, is poorly lighted, ? and badly aranged. The grand jury of the county has recom mended a new jail and it is to be hop ed that the recommendation will be put into effect in the near future. The Sumter County afmshouse isj being allowed to fall into a state of j disrepair. The fences and outbiuld i ings are not being kept uo, the su- j .. perintendent's bouse is beginning to; - look- dllapadated, and the plant of the; institution generally shows signs of ! neglect. It is to be hoped that this ^ condition is due tovthe decision of the r. Board of County Commisiscmers to . try to make more: adequate provision t - for the unfortunates of the county by joining with other counties to build-a r. district hospital home,, such - as was - . provided by the acts of 1920. for.-the ?; counties of AUendale.. Beaufort. ??Col-. ? ieton, Hampton and Jasper. Most of the present- inmates of the- aJmshouse -- are a badly broken lot and need care, of a trained nurse if they are to live ? the few years left to them in .any peace or comfort. Since such 'Care cannot be provided for a few persons, except at great expense, the commis sioners should take steps to put into execution some plan for . improving conditions by co-operating with the ? other counties. Mr. and Mrs. Xunnamaker, the su perintendent and matron, are doinj -vent well with the means at their dis - posral. They should be paid a salary. jj| instead of by fees as at present Addi tional help im caring for the inmates! is also needed. r\ State Board of Public Welfare. G. Croft Williams, Sec'ty. Xew Club For Sumter. ** A number ^of men who feel that Sumter is of sufficient size to have some sort of an out-of-door club and that thf-re is really a need for such a clhb in the city met yesterday for the consideration and formation of such a project. The meeting resulted in The formation of a proposed club ? which bids fair to fill \a much needed j wan: in this direction. The club obtained a trac: of about two and one-half acres, beautifully situated near ? Pecalla. The tract is on a high plain and is almost entirely surrounded'by water oaks. The organ ization preproses to build a small] club house which shall include a room] for dancing, and locker rooms for both j ladles and men members. They alsoi propose to build two cement tennis j ? courts. As the club is nea* Pocalla tho members will be able to have ail) of Che privileges of the usual country! club, such as tennis, swimming, .i^h-1 ing; dancing, etc. In. fact the only feature of a country club that will b* lacking is a golf course. The following officers were ejected] at the meeting and the personnel or ! the same should do much <o insure the success of the organization. The officers elected were: President. Herbert A. Mo*es: first vice president, William T. Crow-son. Jr.; second vice president, It; B. BeTsos; secretary and treasurer. Wen dell M. Ivevi. Committees are now ^t work com p.-etiasi the organization. ? TOURIST I^OMFORTS ? ? American Tourists Who Con template Visiting Europe Are Warned The Hague, May 11?The thous ands o? American.tourists,, who are ex fpected" to visit Europe this summer, iwiH, he disappointed if they look for jward' to all the comforts of the days I before the war. * j This -'verdict has been expressed to* j the Associated Press correspondent; j by many much-harrassed Americans jwho, in .overcrowded trains between j stops at overcrowded /hotels, have [ run the gauntlet of pasport bureaus.-i (frontier controls and police registrar j i f?n offices; institutions which still pre* jvail in Thany countries, only irr a' slightly less degree than during the' rwar. ? -\ - ? ? . v Passports. and passport visas, are j necessary everywhere. Even to make 'the five hour trip from The Hague. Holland, to Brussels, Belgium, ' re quires days of preparation, and. the days generally lengthen into weeks if one expresses the most exrtarordinary whim to make a round trip, or several round trips. An American, for instance, having obtained in the United States, a Dutch visa which permits .mm to iand in Holland for a brief stay, desires to-go to Brussels?just five hours away. On arrival in.Holland he has had to regis ter with the police, securing an iden tity card, .permitting him to have a bread card, etc., (for bread is still ra tioned in many countries). Desiring to go to Belgium, he must first .go to his own legation or oon= suiafe. to have his American passport amended so as to be valid in Belgium. This done/after a solemn oath that it is necessary to- go to Belgium,: the woul?-be-traveler visits the. Belgian, consulate or legation, finds a long, waiting liner of persons, with a similar desire, finally is attended to, and speeds off to the police bureau to have his -identity card stamped- in order that he may leave the frontier. Bin he must, surrender his bread card first?at stilt another bureau, which is probabls>fclosed for the day. Armed with a receipt from the bread card bu reau, he returns to .the police bureau. g>ts his stamped identity card and probably, finds that the last train to Belgium for the day has gone. Even when he gets dboard the train, which may be. so overcrowed that even with a first-class, ticket he may have to ride in a second or thint-dass -com partment, his troubles are far from ended.. There are waits and passport and c?stoms;exam-inations at both the Dutch and Belgian frontiers?one ex amination to get out of Holland and another to get into Belgium, waits in rooms like bull pens in which, if the train happens: to be crowded, the scramble for; a subway at a'rUsh hour is play in comparison. ? This condition* typical of travel be .tween..Holland- and Beigium. is, as ?nojthiTtg^to?. the .difficulties;.of getting from Holland into Germany. Rapid progress is being made, par ticularly in Belgium, to restore rail way traffic to normal, but the short age of equipment, due to war losses or .shortage of coal, due both to strikes and war, has reduced the number or trains operated to a figure far below that of before the war and all gener ally are overcrowded: As a rule, no reservations of seats, except on very long trips, are possible.

REARBON !f 'EXPLAINS' Asssumes Responsibility for Re port Concerning:Garner's 9 Ferry Bridge ? ? ... i. i..-' Editor Daily Item: I feel that 1 should let it be known that the statements carried in the Columbia papers, the State and the Record, that the Sumter -County Permanent Road Commision endorsed 'the proposed Garner's Ferry bridge ;project was furnished' by me under a misunderstanding. .: ' I was tola by the clerk of of the County Board of Commisioners that i there had been a joint meeting qt the! Permanent Road Commission! ; the j County Commissioners, and the legist] lative delegation and .that it had been 1 decided to accept, in so far as Sumter] coittity is concerned, the proposition as submitted by the State Highway!

He .made a splendid speech in reply to Madden's" attack. When Steadman had concluded, Madden took the floor and in s?mei of the most bitter word* ever fceard: ; in the house denounced Lee, Jackson and. the Confederate soldiers in gen eral. Immediately there was ? rush ! of Democratic members from their seats and Representative Rumjne^ of Missouri, ran for Madden. The speak er declared that members must re main in their seats. Instantly, when Madden had again repeated his word ??traitor" and said that he apologized to no one for its usej there was ? nrad* rush from- the Democratic. side-;azxd at least a dozen members ? shouted, "lie, lie;.. d?m lie." Pandemonium, broke loose and it was not uhfir Republican leaders got Madden baek^;to hfs seat 'and demanded that there be an end j to his talk that a good sized riot was 'averted. \ . .
