with the best of management to get
value received from the system.
With a few hired hands the roads of
the county could be scraped in the
early spring, which is about all the
work needed at that season of the
year. When the crops are worked
the last time in July, work on the
roads should begin.
Now there is no economy IN pay
ing for work which a mar should do
himself, no matter what the price.
At that season, and for a few weeks,
the negroes are idle on the farms.
They should be self-sustaining, and
must be during that period. They
travel the roads and should assist in
working them as should every other
resident of the county. After those
who prefer to perform labor in lieu
of paying g. road tax, of say three
dollars each. have worked the re-
quisite number of days, they could
find profitable employment on the
roads. and be paid for their labor
out Of the contributions of those who
prefer to pay the tax rates than per-
form the labor. These laborers can
be hired at that season of the year,
in every community for seventy-fve
cents per day, and they will do a
better days work per man than the
average convict. Every road in the
county can be worked in August by
this system, and the expense to the
county can be cut in half, perhaps to
a fourth of the present cost of main
tanning our chain-gangs.
And the roads will be worked bet
ter. There will be no need of guards
for the men working. One good
man can work a hundred men instead
of having three or four men to guard
a dozen or twenty men. And In
stead of having a man who under
stands managing convicts, we can
then have a man whose entire
thought will be taken up with the
troubles of making good roads. In
stead of being ever alert to prevent
a convict from escaping, Capt.
Schroeder, or the other man in
charge of the work, could give more
time to studying the engineering
problems connected with a system of
roads, which need study in this coun-
ty, as we'll as others. The Super
visor would be enabled to give more
time to these problems too. W.
hazard the guess now that the chain
gang troubles of the Supervisor of
Abbeville County take mor of his
time than all the other work of his
office, and that he has next to no
time really to study the location of
roads, the proper surfacing of roads,
how to mix sand and clay, and ques-
tons of this kind.
We say again that the chain-gang
system will bankrupt any county the
size of Abbeville, if continued, and
that without respect to the manage
ment; and that the system should be
discontinued. There are many other
reasons why c%onvicts should not be
on the roads, but the financial con-
sideration is alone sufficient to con-
denim the system.

SERIOUS EGG.EATlNG HABIT
Many Writers Recommend Drastic
Measures TO Remedy Evil-Brouoht
About BY Confinement.

The egg-eating habit Is one OF the
serious troubles the pouitryman has to
contend with. Many writer's recon-
mend drastic measures in combating
the eyil--the selling or killing OF the
entire flock, II the habit is general.
In general, II may be stated that the
ege'oatng habit Is brought about by
confinement, the accidental breaking
~ eggs in the nest, the feeding Of egg
she'll with portions Of the egg-suh'
stance adhcrng and lack Of animal
and mineral food In the ration.
The Two most general causes are
confinement and lack of mineral and
animal food. Hens having free range
seldom contract the bad habit. The
reason for this is plain. They are in
and about the laying house only while
laying, and at other times are too busy
hunting for food TO fall into evil ways.
Its the idle hen that contracts the
habit.

In some instances shippers of live stock
have violated the regulation Of the de-
partment prohibiting the shipment Of
dead animals in the same car with
live animals. The regulation, which
was adopted February 10. 1915, and
amended July l, 1915, is as follows:
mo dead animal shall be transport

tation In the same car with i've AMI

ment In any State or Territory or the
District OF Columbia to or through any
other State, Territory, or the District
Of Columbia"
The foregoing regulation Is binding
alike upon individual shippers, rail-
roads. aud other carriers. Violation
Of the regulation is punishable by .
fine of 500. The original regulation,
b. A. |. Order 30 and the later,
amended regulation, II. A. !. Order 245,
