SEPTEMBER 18TH TO BE LIVE STOCK DAY.
Plans Have Been Pet Foot 10 Hold Biggest Live
Stock Meeting Ever Held in the County. Secretary
Long and Three Experts to be Present

Mr. \. b. Dial made the principal
sneech OF the meeting. He gave some
impressions of his western trim and
the conclusions he drew thercrrom. In
the beginning he said that South Caro-
lima was the grandcst state and Lau-
fenS county the grandcSt county in
the world. The exposition he said, is
the greatest advertisement the South
ever had, as after visit west. the
southern man could sec tho great adj
vantages Of living in his own country
IN preference to the west. After see
ing the high priced land there. the dry
deserts in many places. the necessity
for such laborious work and other
handicaDs which man without capi-
tai would have to face, the advantages
of this country are realized. If the
people Of this section, said Mr. Dial,
would put forth one fifth as much cr-
fort as do those of the west, they
would have more money than they
would know what to do with, and if
people Of other parts of the country
knew Of conditions here the popula-
ton here would double in five years.
Mr.. Dial told OF calling a meeting
of bankers upon his return home and
of their Willingness to cooperate in
the effort to promote the live stock
business. The bankers arc not rich, he
said, but they are willing to help so
far as they are able. He urged the
advantages Of this county for cattle
and hog raising and said that the
time had come TO "cut out hot air and
get to work" AS for himself, he said
that he had already determined to
make some money out Of the cattle
and hog raising business. Five thor
oughbred Hereford bulls put in each
township Of the county he said, would
solve the cotton question. Mr. Dial
then told of his writing to Mr.. Long
and the lattcr's conscnting to come to
Laurcns. lIc said he hoped such
large crowd would be here that the
court house would not hold them,.Ho
advocated the cutting up of large
farms into smaller ones and these
sold on easy terms SO that young men
would be enabled to buy them and
make homes for themselves. Mr. Dial
commended the trip of the Clinton
people to Rock Hill to see the large
alfal fa fields thprC

tages for live stock raising in this
county and had read letter from

NEW PLAN TO CARE
FOR SICK CONVICTS
State Penitentiary to Extend Use OF
Hospital and Medical Service 70
Counties.

Columbia, Sept. 9-'The State peni-
tcntiary will hereafter extend to the
counties the use Of its hospital and
the services Of its medical staff to
care FOR sick and disabled convicts
from the chain gangs free of charge if
the supervisors of the counties will
agree to pay the penitcntiary SO cents
day for feeding each such convict
committed to its care. The board of
directors of the state penitentiary ar
rived at this decision at their meeting
in Columbia last Wednesday. In a
statement issued by the board it is set
out that the depletion Of the revenues
of the penitcntary make it necessary
to ask the county supervisors to pay
FOR dieting sick and disabled convicts
rom the county chain gangs who
cannot perform productive labor for
the state pcnitentiary"
When such convicts regain their
health they can be returned to the
chain gang in the county from which
they came" the statement continues.
The action Of the board of directors
Is regarded by those in touch with the
situation as providing an arrangement
eminently fair to both the counties
and the penitcntiary. Under existing
laws the county supervisors have the
right to take away from or send back
to the penitcntiary such convicts as
they see fit. This fact is brought out
IN an opinion given the state board of
charities and corrections by Attorney
General Peoples. The decision of the
board Of directors Of the penitentiary
to ask the counties to pay for the
fceding of convicts unfit for labor re-
turned to the institution by the suDer-
visors was caused by the fact that the
low price Of cotton last year has
brought the funds of the penitcntiary
to low cbb.
Sick and Disabled.
The situation Of sick and disabled
convicts in the camps Of the county
chain gangs has worried Governor
Manning no little. During the last
few months he has received number
or requests to parole convcts on the
county chain gangs for no other reason
than,4that they were sick. Such re-
quests for parole came from Newbcrry
for convicts infected with SYPHILIS,
from Fairfield for tubcrcular con
Wet, from Colleton for a tubercular
convict. from Richland for tubcr-
cular convict, from Orangeburg for
an injured convict, from Horny for
convict sick with some disease not
stated in the letter asking that he be
parolcd.

says. But II is one thing to be on
record and another to work actively for

We ask you to do now. As union men
you know that We women know how to
stick to the bitter or victorious end Of

ITO secure decent factories we need
