The Board Of Couoty Commissioners met
yes,erday for the TRANSACTION Of regular busi-
ness. The most important, matter considered
was the establishment Of the ccuHtv chain
gang. The Board decided to crgan:zs the
chain gang al once and commence work on
the public roads in The vicinity Of the city Of
Sumter. An overseer and The guards have
not been selected yet, but they will be en-
gagged between this date and next eek, when
the gang ,s expected 10 be ready for duty.
Clothing and shsckles have been ordered
from The peni,entiary To ensure the comfort
and safety of the members Of the gang, for
il would demoralize aud defeat all plans
were the couvicts not kept in safety so that

is thinking Of quarering the chain gang in
the old jail If thia is done the chain gang
will be under the sole control of the overseer
that shall be selected.
