OCONEE CHAIN GANG
AND THE COUNTY JAIL
State Inspector Makes Report Showing Higher Percentage
Score for Both Institutions

The Courier has received from the
State Board Of Charities and Cor
rections the following report On the
Oconee chain gang and Jail:
OcOnee County Chain Gang.
(Waller Kelley, Foreman.)
Visited July IL, 1918, by Assistant
Secretary Broyles. Convicts present
,16, three of them being TRUSTEES; all
negroes. Camped about three miles
from Seneca. The average daily pop
ulation on this gang for the past two
and half years has been approxi-
mately 12.
We found this camp just locating
at a new site, which was fairly we'll
chosen, and we'll cleaned off. The
men were washing ticks and blankets
in a nearby stream, under the direc-
tion of the foreman. Since our last
inspection the commissioners have
provided new bedding for the con-
victs, and have gotten slip covers for
the cotton pads, as previously recon-
'hOhoCo. ht lfouS nave uCCu Ill u0C
over six months, but they are clean
and apparently new, due to the use
Of these slip covers, with which the
foreman is very much pleased. The
use of these slip covers has Increased
the score OF the gang this year. The
absence Of white men from the gang
has further raised the score, there
being now no question of separation
Of the races, either at work or in the
camp. The foreman stated to us
that the authorities have decided to
work no more whites on the chain
gang, but to send them to the peni,
tentiary Or allow them to serve their
sentences in Jail. This is a wise de,
cision.
The mule fly is badly torn, and we
recommend that the Supervisor pur.
chase a new one. The Supervisor

Oronee County Jail.
{ Boone Moss, Jailer.)

Visited July II, 1918, by Assistant
Secretary BrOyles. Inmates present,
1 white male, white female, ne
gro males; total, 6. The average
daily population in this Jail for the
past two and nalf years has been
approximately AS.
Since last inspection the commits
sioners have had the walls Of the Jail
whitewashed and the steel work
painted, and the kitchen windows and
doors have been screened. These are
commcndable improvements, and re-
suit in raising the total score Of this
institution on this inspection. The
Sheriff's records Of his prisoners are
very satisfactory, only few reasons
for discharge from Jail being missing
The jailer's attention to the personal
hygiene OF the prisoners is good. In
spite OF the fact that Oconee still
uses the obsolete and unbusiness-like
dieting fee system in the county jail
the Sheriff gives the prisoners three
meals daily, two meals being the
usual rule in South Carolina jails
where the dieting fee still obtains.
The Supervisor and County Com
missioners can improve their score
still more by having the windows in

BY j. w. sANFORD.

Our Tuesday evening meeting was
the best attended for many months,
due to the action of the previous meet
| ing in placing a 81 fine on members
| failing to parade on Labor Day. The
dissatisfied members were able to con-
troll the majority vote, setting aside
the enforcement of the fine, pending a
decision by the international president,
who has been appealed to.
| Many matters of Importance were
taken up during the evening, one be-
ing the unanimous adoption of 10y
atty Resolution" adopted by our in
ternational executive board, who met
| in special session in Chicago August
3, at which time several matters of
vital Importance to our membership
were acted on.
Nominations were made for State
Federation of Labor officers, also vote
taken on proposed raise in the per
capita tax to Federation.
Communication from Frank Morri-
son, secretary American Federation of
Labor, calling attention to assistance
asked by Provost Marshal General
Crowder in getting members of or
ganiZed labor registered under the
new 18 to As draft law, also quoting
the patriotic declaration of March 12,
1917, issued by the officers of the ma
tional and international trade unions
of America.
One relating to the labor commu-
nifty boards stating methods which
shall govern the United States en-
ployment service issued by State Di-
rector Blayney of the public service
reserve, calling attention to the duties
of citizens in all walks of life essential
to speedy winning of the war, sent
out by the Colorado State Federation
of Labor.
/ Special attention was given these
matters by our members who have
settled down to a serious determina-
tion to do all within their power to
win the war for freedom for all for
ever against the autocratic presump-
{ ons of the kaiser's me unit Gott"
policy of might.
Two new members were admitted
from Havana, Cuba, both of them de-
claring that it is warmer down there
Ill the winter than it is here in the
summer.
The pledge card just issued by the
state council of defense calling at
tention to the Importance of purchas-
ing home products applies to every
thing produced here and if complied
rial benefit to all from CONNER
cial as well as win the war" stand
point. This, includes cigars made in
Denver bearing the label of the Cigar
makers international Union.
There are a number of cigar stands
in Denver that offer the smoker any-
thing but home made cigars. Two
prominent boosters for home goods
suggests that any dealer who does not
display a reasonable percentage of
the home goods should be considered
as working against the best interests
of this community. We second the
motion. Give your patronage to the
merchant that deserves it.
