Following it's exclusive article of
Monday evening showing that the board
of Jail inspectors had been dilatory in
the inspection four days later than the
law provides, the Press American con-
tinued its investigation, and although
Sheriff Jarrad kept silent, his records
show up some very interesting things.
For instance, the board of jail in
spectors was even more neglectful last
Spring than it was this fall. Instead of
conducting the examination on Feb 2S,
1905, when it should have been, and for
which it is certified, the inspection was
not conducted until March 11.-Corun.
ma special to the Press American.
Yes, Sheriff Jarrad's records show
up some very interesting things" One
of them is taken from his board bill
which is supposed to be copy of the
jail record and it shows that on March
11th-the date the Press. American s
special" from Corunna says the Jail in
spection was made that the sheriff
charges for the board of NINETY-O ONE
prisoners, while the report of the board
of Jail inspectors credits him with
NINE TEEN. This is just little worse
than charged by THE TIMES in its issue
of Oct Goth in referring to the matter.
The inspectors report under date of Feb
2Sth gave the sheriff credit for 1 8 prison
ers while he charged board for AZ. 1t
will take considerable more explaining
than has already been done to convince
the public that the grand jury cannot
profitably spend some time in looking
into these Every interesting things 4"
For the good of the sheriff some of his
friends should head off any more 'spec-
ials," especially if figures are to be Civ
en-. In fairness to the sheriff it should
be stated that Is of the prisoners for
whom board was charged and collected
on March 18th were received or dis
charged on that date. Crediting this
number there is still difference be-
tween report and bill of FIFTY-FIVE
prisoners.

Deputy Sheriff Tilden undertakes to
explain the difference between the re-
port filed by Sheriff Jarrad with the
State showing II prisoners June 30th
last and his board bill for the same date
charging for % prisoners, by saying
that it was a clerical error" That's
easy and is just exactly the explanation
the public has generally expected would
be made. 1t is certainly generous in
Mr.. Tilden to shoulder the blame How
ever, deputy who cannot answer the
following questions without becoming
"a little confused" had better make way
for some one who does not get "tired
out" so easily.
The first question in the report was,
"The number of prisoners in the Jail
at the beginning of the year." the last
one: 1.-THE whole number of prisoners
remaining in the jail at the close of the
year for which this report is made "
Those questions might under some cir
cumstances be confusing to pupil in
the fourth grade but they certainly
should not be for deputy who receives
$40 for making a very simple report.
Allowing Mr.. Tilden's explanation to
stand, what excuse can Sheriff Jarrad
make for signing the statement and
certifying to it? Mr.. Tilden states
further that he worked week on the
report and only charged for five days
time. The supervisors at their coming
special session should see that pay is
voted for the other two days, Mr.. Til
den must either have been confused"
or tired out" to make such a mistake
in his bill.

in May Z. and made the commitment
The sheriff was away that day, but /
told him of it, On May 10, Witzleben
was taken to Durand and sentenced to
ten days by Justice Patched l also
made that commitment, and the sheriff
knew nothing about it.
"Mr Jarrad happened to be running

had heard that Witzleben drew ten

first one he let Witzleben go just ten
days from the first commitment.
II am the bookkeeper, and knowing
of both commitments, of course, L
charged for the full amount of Witzle-
ben's board, to which the sheriff is en-
titled.
That's very nice explanation!

when Witzleben was returned to the
Jail to await examination. Mr.. Tilden's
confession that Mr.. Jarrad happened
to be running over the books" and che
had heard that Witzleben drew ten
days" and let him go without knowing
that his sentence had expired is not to
the credit of the sheriff. Mr.. Tilden
also confesses that the bill for board
was made to include the time Witzle-
ben was out of Jail illegally. Can it be
said that Mr.. Tilden's statements have
helped his own standing about the
county or that the sheriff has been put
in any better light? Better stop ex-
planning until something more plausible
can be put out.

The Press-American charges that the
board of Jail inspectors did not make
its inspection on September both as
stated in recent issue of this paper but
that the inspection was made on Oct.
4th. In our reference to the report of
the Jail inspectors it was stated that
their report showed three prisoners and
one insane person in the Jail on Sept.
Both, while the sheriff presented board
bill for IS prisoners, Granting that the
inspection was made on the date stated
by the Press American, although we do
not know positively as to this, the
sheriff is not much better off. His
board bill filed with the supervisors
brings the commitments down to Sept.
Goth and from them it is found that at
that date he asks pay for the board of IA
prisoners whose date for discharge
would not come until after Oct. 4th.
IL the Press-American is right, board is
asked for 10 more prisoners, instead of
Ia as we stated, than the inspectors re-
port. How much better off is the
sheriff? AS a matter of fact the report
gave the number of prisoners in Jail
Sept. Both as stated by the Jail officials
to the inspectors. One of the board
stated to THE TIMES that the last in
spection was very careful one and
that all rooms and cells were visited
and that there were just three persons
in Jail when the board went through
and that one was brought in while they
were there. We cannot agree with our
contemporary in its statement that 1.-THE
report of the Jail inspectors was incor-
rect; that's all that's to be said about
it." The facts all point the other way
if judgment is based on the board bill
filed by the sheriff although we pre-
sumo the turnkey will later admit that
he made it out and that he was "con-
fused" or tired out''-as it calls for
pay for board for more prisoners on
either date than the Jail inspectors
found.

Prof. Beattie, of the college, has
been at Charleston a number of days
experimenting the planting out of 800
tomato plants, of fifty different vari-
cites, for an experiment which the
college will conduct during the sum-
mer. For number of years the to-
mato plants of that locality have been
affected with blight that has serious
ly damaged the crop. The plants
would make a thrifty growth till
along in July, when the blight would
attack them, and they would turn
yellow and die The work of the COL
lege will be to find out the nature of
the blight, and the best method of
combating it. One of the advanced
students in the department will be
