How Calhoun Cares for its Prisoners
Results Of an Investigation Of the Tall at Grants
yiiIe, wea Virginia.

Charities and The Commons. an
organization for the advancement, of
the welfare OF the poor and Crimi-
nal Class Of our country. recently
sent a representative here to iu-
vestigate the condition OF The
Grantsvilie Jail, and the following
report IS the result of it:
1t is a pretty bad case shat the
American Prison Associ ton has
found against the average county
Jail in this country. For year past
hundreds of trained men and women
have been working on Investigations
and compiling results and now the
Association is prepared to announce
just what conditions were found
To state that, generally speaking,
county jsils are schools for crime"
is lutting it mildly. The general
report of the committee. appearing
on another page Of this issue, tells
of the conditions as found in differ
ent parts of the country. A special
investigation was made OF the jail in
this comfy and the question for
this Community to ans wer is whether
or not the Calhoun County Jail
comes up to the minimum STANDARD
set by Professor Henderson and his
committee.
The Calhoun County jail is a
small institution with only two cells
both for men and women. The
size of the cells is 10 by IL feet.
When the inspection was made
there were three men in the Jail.
There is no chance for exercise or
occupation. Aside from the separa-
ton OF the sexes, there is little at
tempt at classification. Boys are
not lkept apart from the worst
prisoners and probably children are
sometimes kept in the same cells.
There are no religious services
in the Jail, nor is any reading mat
ter furnished, except what is dona-
ted. The in and out fees are 25
cents. There are no rules govern
ing officers or prisoners. nor is
there any punishment for violation
of rules.
Board is furnished at cost of 80
cents a day. The beds are of iron
and the bedding Is washed about
twice month. There are no rules
about the changing of undercloth-
ing and the county does not furnish
changes.
The building is artific,ally lighted
bp natural gas, heated by natural
gas and ventilated by windows.
There are no closets in the Jail,
night buckets being used exclusive
ly. There are no regulations for
the prisoners bathing and if there
were there are no baths foi this
purpose. The building is said to
be clean and the condition of the
plumbing good.

Hon. William ]. Bryan's
visit to this State was the
occasion for several of the
greatest demonstrations and
ovations ever accorded a
private citizen in the history
of the State. At Parkers-
burg there were many thous-
ands from all over the state
present to pay the great
commoner homage. On Sat-
urday evening he delivered
two masterful addresses, one
at the Camden theatre and
one at the Auditorium and
neither house afforded half
room enough for the great
multitude who had gathered
to hear him. Hon. A. E.
Kenney, of this county, had
the honor of presiding at
these meetings, and intro
ducing our next president to
the audience. Speaking ed
itorially of his visit the Sen
tinel said:
"'Mr. Bryan has come and
gone and there was no dis
appointment in his visit, ex-
cept to the thousands who
wanted to hear him but
could not. An auditorium
seating ten thousand people
would not have accommodate
ed all those who wished to
hear him Saturday evening.
Many who were before in
different toward him, are
now his advocates, and
those always for him are
more determined in their
support than ever. He is
the same earnest, honest
and sincere patriot he al
ways was. The same con
vincing and persuasive speak
er. The same magnetic and
lovable commoner. A man
of the people and for the
people"
We are sorry that our
space will not permit us to
print his address in full.
We may do so at a later
date.

when they came up on the negro
who was armed with a repeating
winchester. He got the drop on
them and forced them to pass on
while he backed off into the
bushes. The other me nbers of
the party were notified as soon
as possible. This was about
$50 p. m. They surrounded the
negro in a clump of thick under
growth and exchanged several
shots without getting any re
suits. Search was kept up, how
ever, pretty much all night.
Friday afternoon about $50
O'Clock Capt. W. L. Ussery. of
Waverly, telephoned that the
negro had been seen near Mrs.
Birt's residence, cleaning and
reloading his gun. The South
ern Railway officials very kindly
prepared Immediately an engine
nd caboose which left with the
officers first named at o'clock
sharp. About two miles this
side Of Waverly the negro was
seen coming along the track. The
train was stopped and he begun
to shoot, the sheriff's posse re-
turning the fife instantly. At
Il minutes after o'clock the
negro was a corpse and remark
able as it may seem not a single
member of the posse was injur-
ed. although the negro's aim
was good and several of them
had hair breadth escapes.
Watson's body was brought
to Columbus and turned over to
Gunter Brothers, who prepared
it and shipped it to Meridian
Friday night.
Judging from what the officers
say the negro was doubtless a
very desperate character and his
death is a goo d ridance to the
country.
