SUPPORTING THEIR SCHOOL.

The Laurens Advertiser in an edi-
torial article about the public schools
OF its city, says:
I'm this connection IL might not he
amiss to suggest that Superintendent
Jones is anticipating the support
which he received last year in his
activities in connection with raising
money for the school. 1t will he re-
membered that Mr.. Jones cleared
over 800 last year out of the lyceum
course and other attractions. The
entertainments were enjoyed by those
who attended and doubtless much OF
good was cotton from them 1t is to
be hoped, therefore, that inasmuch
as the cause is a good one, and en-
tertainments are we'll worth the small
charges made for them, that he will
be enthusiastically supported during
the coming year"
The Laurens schools are supported
Of course, by taxation, as are those
in other towns, and that the superin-
tendent. through a lyceum course
that has contributed TO the entertain
ment and instruction OF the people
cleared 500 in year to be devoted
to the establishment OF the interior
Of the school building and other i'm
provements not provided from the
public funds, is an unusual achieve
ment 1t is creditable. too TO the
people of Laurens that they second
the efforts of Superintendent Jones
and fine evidence is furnished of
their interest in the schools.-The
State.

either TO the health of the convicts
or the public at large. or any facts
warranting US in finding a true bill,
charging the maintenance of nuis-
ance at said hosiery mill.
Prisoners Well Treated.
The only Improvement We think
could be made would be the install
ment on the third floor OF exhaust fans
and ceilint ventilation. and we would
recommend that proper authorities be
requested to look after these altera-
tions and Improvements In our err
animation of the penitentiary build
ings we were shown every courtesy
by the superintendent, Col. Griffith,
and We find that he is rendering the
State valuable services in the dis
charge OF his duties, and that the pris-
oners are humanely treated and are
as we'll kept as could be expected un-
der the circumstances"
Among other recommendation made
by the grand jury is that the board
OF commissioners have published in
a newspaper every quarter list OF
fines reported by the magistrates. This
: is aimed TO afford check upon the
records kept by the magistrates of
the Ines imposed by them

Witnesses Examined.

We beg to report that we first made
personal examination of the hosiery
mill, inspecting each of the depart
ments therein. and also the hospitals
and other buildings at the peniten-
tiary.
Thereafter we summoned before us
and examined the following witness
es' Col. j. ID. Griffith. superintendent
State Penitentiary; Robert Wilson, Jr.,
chairman State medical board: DIR.
Jennings the present physician of the
penitentiary; the Rev. Mr.. Abney. the
chaplain of the penitentiary, and Mr..
j M. Graham, who operates the hos
iery mill; also DR.. Boyd, the health
officer OF the city of Columbia. and
Drs. Pope, Harmon and Butler, for
mer physicians at the penitentiary.
We find that many of the convicts
worked In the hosiery mill are those
who cannot be worked either upon
the public highways or upon the State
farms and we also find that quite n
number of convicts are sent to the
penitentiary from the county iails
and chain gangs. who are sick and
frequently horribly diseased and are
unfit for work on the county chain
gangs or elsewhere.
Deaths on Decrease.
I'VE made especial inquiry as to
the number OF deaths from consump-
tion and were agreeably surprised to
find that the mortality from this dread.
ed disease had greatly decreased. We
found that the number Of deaths from
consumption from 1900 to 1905. inclu-
sive, was jS, from 1905 to 1910, 1t was
%, and during the year 1911 and up
to the present time only three had
died of consumption and two of these
had the disease when they we're
brought to the pentientiary this year.
I'VE beg further to report that I'm
our opinion the sanitary conditions
of the hosiery mill are good and just
as nearly perfect as possible; the
floors, achinery, fixtures and other

Columbia. September l1.--A better
yentilating syste mon the third floor
is all that the grand jury of Rich
land county can recommend for the
improvement of conditions at the hos
iery mill The presentment to Judge
Wilson today, made during the after
noon session of the court, comes as a
very mild ending TO the rather tenn
pestuous controversy which has aris-
en- n connection with the hosiery mill
s.nce the investigation was request
ed BY Governor Blease. "In our opin-
ion, the sanitary condition of the hos
iery mill are good and just as nearly
perfect as possible, the floors. ma
chinery, fixtures and other depart
ments being neatly and cleanly kept,
and We do not find any condition exist
ing which are injurious, either 10 the
health Of the conyicts or 10 the public
at large. or any facts warranting us
in finding a true bill charging the
maintenance of nuisance at said hos

result Of the investigation which the
grand jury has been making at the

Thorough Investigation.

After covering number of matters
the grand jury makes full report
upon the hosiery mill matter. AT the
beginning Of this term Of court" says
the solicitor. we were instructed by
your Honor, at the request of the So
licitor. to make an immediate and
thorough investigation Of the alleged
nuisance at the State Penitentiary,
caused by reason of the operation at
said penitentiary of the hosiery mill
by use of convict labor therein, by
reason Of which employment and CON
finement OF said convicts and the
unsanitary conditions of the mill and
the class Of work carried on, the
health said convicts was impaired and
the health and welfare not only OF
said convicts. but of the public at
large, were seriously endangered by
reason of the fact that this class OF
convicts, after their release from the
penitentiary, returned TO their va
rious homes in a diseased state OF
health, and transmitted diseases con-
tracted therein.
Understanding that If the class OF
work carried on at the hosiery mill
and the unsanitary conditions therein
were such az to be injurious to the
health of the public that an indictment
against the party operating 1t could
be maintained, and its further con.
tinuance abated, we undertook this
investigation to ascertain if a proba-
BILE case could be made out charging
the maintenance of the same, so that
Its further continuance and existence
might be properly abated
I'm accordance with your Honor's
instruction and in the performance
OF what we conceived 10 be our gen
eral duties, and within the authority
vested in us, we have made a most
careful and exhaustive investigation
and examination of the alleged nuis-
ance existing at the hosiery mill, de-
voting much Of our time at this ses-
sion OF the court to this particular
matter.
