SHORT IN C9AVIG7s.
New Law Reducing Population Of
The Penitentiary.

Columbia, April 16.-The law passed
by the last Legislature, allowing con-
yicts sentenced to ten years to be re-
tained on the county chain gangs, is
having a serious effect on the Peni-
tentiary. Since the first of the year
only about five able-bodied men have
been received in the walls, while there
are considerably over hundred who
are aged, infrm, or manned and utter
ly useless and unproductive. Several
counties have asked for convicts to
work on the highways, which is al
lowed by law, but there are none on
hand to send them. Not only this,
there are not enough able-bodied con-
victs in charge to carry out the con-
tract with the hosiery mill, and it
bas to get along with greatly reduced
force. If this thing keeps up it will
not be long before the Penitentiary,
instead of being a paying institution,
will be an expense. Never before were
there so many convicts who are so
absolutely of no account as workmen,
thew being able to do only the lightest
labor about the yard. Of course, coun-
ty supervisors will always pick the
able-bodied men to keep at home, and
send the sick and manned to the Peni
tentiary, and it is easy to see that in
time it will hardly be much more
than a hospital for criminals.
Referring to other matters connected
with the institution, Superintendent
Griffith says that the wheat crop on
the farm has been almost destroyed By
the grain louse, which is so pre-
valent in the State. He has tried
various remedies without success.
The oat crop has not been so badly

is out of order. There is no remedy in the
