The Convict Camps.

The Spartanburg Jonrmni. of last
Saturday, says:
DR.. NJ. 0. Rowland. IL member of tn c
board of directors OF the Sonth Caro-
lima, pcpiteDtinry. has returned from
Anderson, where he and two other
members of the board spent several
days inspect the convict camps of
the county. Public interest has been
directed to- penal affairs in that county
by the late scandal in regard to con
vict labor, which was, to some extent.
run Under cloak of the convict lease
system.
DIR. Rowland yesterday told a re-
porter that the board found the con
yict camps, iivo in number: in good
shape. The convicts arc we'll treated.
Last year tho board found that some
of the lessees had been working the
convicts fiom daylight till dark, which
is n violation of penitentiary regula-
tions. The rule is that convicts shall
not be worked over ten hours day
and the iessees were 80 notified, and
they seem to have Obeyed tho rule in
all cases.
All the negroes held by farmers
under the peculiar COZ Sract which
lately came to light, have Deen turned
loose and the affair seems to be at nm
end.
Some of the Anderson farmers will
hold their convicts for three years yet,
having made five-year contracts with
superintendent Neal.

A Mr. Hill, q progressive farmer of
the section locally known as "The
Nation, had a rather exciting expo
Tience at the bridge across Rocky
River, ut Prices Mill, last Wednesday.
As he was crossing the bridge with a
wagon and two mules, the center span,
which was built only year ago, gave
way, and the team was thrown into the
water. The tongue stood straight mp
and down, and as Mr.. Hill was using
patent breast chains, which could not
be unfastened in that position, it was
necessary to cut the tongue before the
mules could 1T released. In tho mean
time they were suspended by the necks
in deep water. The damages amounted
to q few cuts OH the mules, n ruined
set of harness, and tongue cut in two.
iho approaches to this bridge have
been built some time, but the center
apan, where the accident occurred, was
built about year ago.
