Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-10-10

"A correspondent of the Columbia
State asks if it would not be good idea
for the legislature to require the keeping
of at least one bloodhound at each county
site to be used in running down crimi-
nails. The idea is all right in theory; but
in practice we fear it would prove rather
expensive. Sheriff Crawford Of York
county, made an effort sometime back to
raise bloodhound for the purpose indi-
Gated; but about the time he began to
get the animal in good training, some
body, after failing in several attempts,
finally succeeded in getting it poisoned.
The sheriff decided to give up his under
taking as bad job, and if their efforts
should be combatted with the same
methods that were found so successful
here, it is likely that other Officials who
try to keep bloodhounds will meet with
the same experience.

fore, all the taxpayers are entitled to the
benefits to be derived. Any arrange
ment which enables small portion of
the taxpayers to, by contributing any
amount, however large or small, receive
all the benefit from all the contributions
of all the taxpayers, is marifestly unfair
and cannot be justified upon any reason
able basis.
If it is desired to attain absolute fair
ness in the management of the convict
gang, we can think of only two ways by
which it can be done. One is to let the
county pay all the expenses and let the
supervisor use the gang, say month at
time, in each township, fixing up the
worst places in the roads. The other is
to let out the gang to the highest bidder,
with the understanding that the highest
bidder is to pay all the expenses, and the
county is to have nothing further to do
with the matter except to exercise proper

THE CONVICT GANG.

AS reported in Wednesdays issue,
Township Commissioner Miller gave no
tice at the last meeting Of the county
board of commissioners, that at the next
meeting he would offer resolution pro-
viding that hereafter the convict gang be
let out to the highest bidder.
Just what will be the full scope of Mr..
Miller's proposed resolution has not yet
developed but unless it provides for con-
ditions different from those under which
the convicts are now working, we think
it will be well for the board to proceed
with much caution.
Under the present arrangement the
section in which the convicts are working
is paying one-half Of the expenses, and
the county is paying the other half.
Such an arrangement, however, is not
equitable, and it should not be adopted
as permanency.
The reasons are apparent. The expense
of supporting the convicts is borne
equally by all the taxpayers, and, there
