THE PENITENTIARY.
A Letter From s.Democrat" Statistlcally
Confuting "Fair Play"

A Letter From oDemocrat" Statistloally
f Confuting "Fair Play"
In a eommunict ton headed Charleston
signed Fair Play" published in the REGIS
TER Of 18th inst, the writer says: II cannot
refrain from correcting some of the false i'm
pressions conveyed by Democrat. have
taken pains to examine the law governing
the psnisentiary and the reports Of its OIL
GERS, and CLEAN the following facts;
First fact-The expenses are under the
immediate control Of the Superintendent
Now this is not fact but falsehood. The
Board of Directors Ak the salaries of the
officers and guards whom they appoint, aud
the Beard did increase the pay of eighteen
guards and employees IS per month each
during the present term, an increased ex-
pense OF 81, ,0S0 per year over which the Su'
perintendent has no control and the guards
truly ought to have more pay than they now
receive. Again the commissary buys all
provisions and supplies for the peniteutiaryi
be certifes all bills therefor to the Board for
payment through their Treasurer, and ii the
lcommissary should certify bills advanced
fifty per cent over the market value of arti-
cles purchased, the Board could pay those
bills and the Superintendent could not pre-.
sent it. Modern instances can be quoted
whenever demanded.
Second fact-Stated by the man who ex-
amined the law and the officers Reports
During the year 1888 six thousand three
hundred and eighty tour days were lost by
sickness" while much less number ofdays
were lost from the same cause in 1880.
Now mark how inexcusable the falsehood is.
DR.. Bruce, over his signature in sworn
statement printed on 23d page, Report Of
1884, says that the time so lost is two thou
sand seven hundred and ninety.seven days.

eral came down stairs this evening and

course he did not. The Generals carriage
was driven around in the afternoon and the
question considered if he should take a
