TO DEMAND CLOSE
OF HOSIERY MILL
Following Report OF State Board of
Health, Gov. Blcase Declares Hos
icry Mill Contract Must BE Ended
and Conyicts Given Outdoor Work.

Health, Gov. Blcase Declares HOs.
icry Mill Contract Must BE EnGed
and COn,icts Given Outdoor Work.
Following the report of the State
Board of Health. in which conditions
at the penetentiary were severely
dealt with, the hosiery mill coming in
for lareg share of criticism, Gov.
BIease, while in Charleston, declared
that he would call on Supt. Griffin to
shut down the hosiery. mill at once.
Following is in part what apeared in
the News and Courier Friday:
"I coisider the Penitentiary report
of the State board of health to be a
complete vindication of my position
on the subject of the investigation of
the penitentary conditions
In explaining the position he had
taken I'm the matter of the peniten-
Jiary investigation Governor Blcase
said that during the last session of
the Legislature he had received a large
number of petitions for pardons. in
which doctors certificate was given
showing that the person in whose fav-
or the petition was made had contract
ed tuberculosis in the penitentiary.
He said that from this he could
draw btu two conclusions. The first
was that false reports were being made
out at the prison; the other that con-
ditions existing there were such that
an immediate change was demanded.
In regard to the first, Governor Blcase
said:
II never for n moment considered
the first as being possible. know
DR.. Butler. the prison physician. to be
a highly honorable man and a man
who would not for an instant give a
false medical certificate. wish it to
be very clearly understood that moth
ing have said or done in the matter
has been intended to cast the least
reflection upon the integrity OF DR..
Butler, for whom | have the highest
personal regard.
Conditions Depl0rablc.
II concluded, therefore, that the la
Dor conditions in the penitentiary
must be most deplorable, and knew
that all of the trouble lay in the hos
iery mill. Why. it seemed to me TO
be the worst form of barbarity to CON
fine men i'm place where they were
subjected to conditions which would
cause them to contract most loath-
some disease.
"At first ! thought to have mea.
sure introduced at the last session of
the legislature to abolish the hosiery
mill. Upon second thought decided
that it would be better to have thor
ough investigation of conditions. and
to introduce the measure at the next
session.
Many of the friends of Col. Grii-
fifth, the prison superintendent. crit
icised me severely for instigating this
investigation, alleging that | intended
TO reflect upon Col. Grihith's ability.
However. considered these charges
as so far from the truth and as so un-
founded that | did not take the trou-
bic to reply to them. And now the
report has vndicated my position in
the matter"
When asked whether or not ne
would do anything in the matter be-
fore the conyeniDg OF the legislature
next February. Governor Blease said:
