AT WORK ON ROADS
Deputy Sheriff Miller Busy With
First Batch--Extra One Added
Today.

Monday the first prisoners to labor
on the highways were put to work
under the supervision of Deputy
Sheriff Miller on the Hedgesyille
road. As soon as the law became eff
fective all prisoners confined in the
Jail were ordered out to work and
Mr.. Miller, acting under the courts
instructions entered upon his duties.
Monday there were five men at work
but this morning six were taken out
and all viii be kept busy until their
sentences have expired.
Berkeley county has taken the mi
tative in this matter. 1t was the first
in the state to make request of the
State Board of Control for 25 convicts
from the peitentiary, and also the
first to put its own prisoners to work
The men are reported to be very
obedient and industrious and there
appears to be no cause for alarm of
any trouble. BY using the prisoners
great Improvements win be made in
the roads. and by working them may
cause many transgressors of the law
to have more respect for it.
