The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1904-08-14

lished here in the seventies-towit:
THE Daily News first started, and
THE Daily Observer" the publication
of which began at later date. l do
rot call to mind the year when those
papers were consolidated, nor shall
endeavor to give the reader any his
tory of them prior thereto; but, wish
to confine myself to one person only.
iii what / shall further say: l refer
to Capt. E. C. Woodson the local
editor of 1.-THE Daily News" than
whom more popular news gatherer
has never tramped over this city
Captain Woodson was raised in Vir-
gilia, / think, but came here from
Warrenton, when 'The News was
started by Stone and UZzell, as it's city
editor, which position he ably filled
until death released him from so hard
a task Before that time there had
rot been, on any paper, a city editor,
for the reason that We did not have
enough news afioat to give a man en-
ployment. Woodson, therefore, was a
pioneer in the news gathering bust
ness and, of course, he had to work
up column as best he could. But he
was equal to the task, and when there
was no news he had the happy facul-
ty of running up against something, if
it was falling over a wheel-barrow in
the dark, which, by the way, he did
one dark night, the report of which,
the next morning, was quite as thrill
ing as if it had been a railroad smash
up or a cyclone.
When the News" was started and
Capt. f. G. Woodson was announced
as "city EDITOR our city could not
help smiling at the idea; for recon-
struction had been accomplished. the
Yankees had gone. and everything had
gotten so quiet it was thought that
news had played out. But it did not
take long to show our people how
much we had been missing before we
had a live city editor. OF course the
Sentinel, in the time of Mr.. Pell, as
well as in the time of Mr.. Turner, had
its local column, but the Daily News
which, in a manner, succeeded the
Sentinel, made a long stride to the
front in the matter CT news gathering
in, around and about the city.
AT the time of which | am writing
the office of the News was on the third
floor of the building. now occupied by
Mr.. Woollcott. On the second floor
were some law offices, one of which
was occupied by Hon. b. f. Moore.
The lower floor was used by Mr..
George T. Stronach as Il wholesale
grocery.
WoodsOn and George StrOnach were

News could not boast of it's many
columns of items, it certainly could
boast of the fact that it published all
the news that could be collected or
manufactured.
Could Capt. Woodson be permitted
to come back and glance over the
News and Observers city columns he
would be truthful in saying: you
fellows are long way ahead of me
and my day."
Thus will it continue to be-im-
proving all the time upon the things
of the past-may we not hope and eX-
pact?

being bad, but this can only apply to
the location of the buildings on low
ground. or to the construction of the
entire prison, for which Governor
Chamberlain is not at all to blame. A
visit to the hospital showed only one
man in that part of the prison due to
sickness. He has an attack of pneu.
monia. The plain truth of the mat
ter is that here are 300 men in better
health than any 300 men picked up at
random on the outside of the prison.
When it is considered that most of the
prisoners came from neglected and
more or less demoralized and hobo
class of criminals, their health in the
prison is remarkable, and shows that
they are properly fed from sanitary
standpoint. Some of the men gain in
weight after entering the prison, and
some lose. But all are well, physical.
ly, or at least suffer no ill-health from
want of proper food
They Are Not Underfed.
This would seem to disprove the
statement that they are underfed,
statement which has been thrown out
by all the newspapers almost without
qualification including The Journal.
The Journal reporter asked for the
weight of the first 10 men to enter the
dining hall, and then looked up their
weight on arrival at the prison, and
it showed as follows:

REPORTER EATS WITH CONVICTS

better meals a day, and their cooking
is done at the portable cook room
that is carried along with the gang on
the road. Man for man the records
of the prison show that the convicts
are better nourished than before they
were committed, as they improve in
health and weight and appearance.
Those obese, or having much soft
loose flesh, lose in weight until they
are at their proper and natural d.
mensions, and then remain there and
begin to lay on solid muscle. The
Journal will continue its investigation
and publish the truth about this mat
ter, even though it contradict some of
it's own reports.
All the cooking for the prisoners,
and the TRUSTEES, and the guards and
employees is done by convicts, and
done in the same kitchen, and from
the same commissiary supplies. Those
articles that are on the prisoners bill
of fare, such as bread, mush, prunes
and some other things are cooked in
the same manner and from the same
supplies and by the same men who
cook for the guards and employees, and
served from the same kitchen, which
was never done before the administra-
tion. There was special cooking for
the guards and employees in aseparate
kitchen. The guards and employees
now get a good bill of fare, such as is
served in any first-class two-bit board
ing house, but no better. The pris-
oners formerly were allowed to have
oil stoves in their cells, and to do a
certain amount of cooking for them
selves out of supplies bought with
their own means. But Governor Cham
berlain cut this out, and put all on
democratic equality. This caused
much complaint among favored con-
victs.

manner.
Taafe is owner of a strip of sand and
rock along the bank of the Columbia
river, and wants $4,000 for the right
to put the canal through it. He claims
that the blasting will ruin his fishing
grounds, and that he makes 100000
a year out of the fishing rights. He
has a number of fish wheels, and is
determined to hold the land If there
is any possible way.

milk The usual ration of prunes was
on the table, all that each man could
eat and some leave part of them.
Mush and milk are served several
times if wanted in the large congre.
gated dining room. The mush was
made of steamed whole wheat, and
was perfectly cooked, was not pasty,
as it is served in many hotels, in fact
it was better cooked than in half the
hotels or restaurants in the country,
as some cooks have faculty of get
ting into the pen, and all the cooking
is done by convicts. There was an
abundance of this food, and it was
clean and wholesome. The bread is
better than most homes in Oregon
have, and was in great abundance.
Many man in the world would be
glad to make a meal off such bread
alone. The reporter had dropped in
unexpectedly, and, by special permis-
sion, was allowed to eat with the con.
victs. He proposes to drop in for
breakfast some day, and for dinner
some day, and tell the readers of this
paper just what he gets.

are the prisoners at the state peni-
Hentiary underfed? Are they given in
asnHicient or unnutritious food? Are
z1ey fed on improperly cooked or un-
wholesome food? If any of these
questions can be answered in the af-
Girmative then there was cause for
the alleged mutiny that occurred last
Friday, and which the reporters and
reputable newspapers have attributed
to short rations and other mistreat.
ment. But is it the truth to say they
are underfed or in any way mis-
treated?
Some of the Bills Of Fare.
Under orders of Governor Chamber
5ain, a record is kept of each days
rations, and a book is kept into which
is transcribed the menu of each meal
served each day at the prison. On
Friday. April 29th, the very day the
alleged walk-out of the prisoners took
place, when it is claimed 40 men left
their work in the shops, on claim of
insufficient food upon which to carry
on their exhaustive labors, the menu
was as follows;
