at the top until it reaches. with no more
than > per cent grades, the permanent
site away above and back from the
creek. Excavating, grading. every thing
but locating and surveying, has been
done by prison labor, and the roadway
is ready for the crushed stone surface
that will be furnished from the work

The huge crusher that has been in
stalled there. Just within the little cove
where are to be constructed the wharves
for the workhouse. is grinding masses of
rock taken from the hillside few yards
away. Later, it is the intention to supply
all the crushed stone used by the Dis

work from this quarry. Also. foundation
stone for the permanent buildings will be
taken out here and dressed right on the

In riding about the site Supt.
Whitaker found a great bank of fine clay
which has been proven by test to make
first-quality brick. Abundant fuel and
this clay solve the problem of building
materials; the brick for the whole work
will be made and burned here and the
work done by prison labor. Small beams
and joists. rough lumber and shingles
will be made from the timber with which
the site is clothed. and which must be

works that he and the commission have
planned and are planning for the future.
Its a big thing, said the Superintend-
ent. Its one of the biggest things you
can imagine, this recognition by the fed
eral government of reformative and cor
receive principles in dealing with minor
offenders. It's something the prison re-
form people have been working for for a
good many years, and it's mighty crafty
ing to know that our own government has
led the way along these lines-that Uncle
Sam is showing the rest of the world that
the general government is big enough and
broad enough to undertake the same sort
of work that state and local governments
have been alone In for a long time. And
it, still more gratifying personally to have
part in the work. to be the man chosen to
execute the ideas and to make real the
ideals of this practical plan for the con-
servation of manhood and the building of
character.
And then Mr. Whitaker leaned forward
in his chair and talked about his plans.

money less small per cent to the deer goes north

Columbia, Nov. 1l.-rhc wheat
crop for South Carolina for the year
1910 has broken all records in this
State. The figures on the crop were

$4,000.
Calculating the value at 90 cents
