ding. The windows are not screened
against flies and mosquitoes. No IA
cilities have been provided for the
safe keeping of insane inmates. There
are no flush toilets and no bath tubs
in the building. The medical service
is far below standard in quantity, the
doctor not being employed to ex-
anime the prisoners upon commit
ment, or to make regular inspections
of the institution, but is hired to
serve only for special cases of sick
ness, on call from the jailer. We
recommend that these suggestions
made above be adopted by the su-
pervisor and commissioners, but we
do not believe the inside of the jail
should be whitewashed, but should
be painted instead, the board walls
being smooth, and not suited to hold
whitewash securely. A good quality

should be used. For bedding we
recommend the purchase of some cot
ton pads with slip covers made of
ticking to protect them again dirt and
wear. These covers can be taken off
and washed whenever they may be
soiled, and in addition to thus lend
ing themselves to the jailer's efforts
to make the building model of neat
ness they will pay for themselves
many times by the saving on the
wear on the pads themselves.
From what we can learn, the
county authorities having the jail un-
der their charge do not enter into
sympathy with the splendid efforts Of
Mrs. Dickinson as they should. In
her work she is badly handicapped
by the miserable building, but she
has done remarkable work for her
prisoners and deserves the unquali-
fed support of every man and woman
of Bamberg county"

"Mr. J. R. Morris, foreman. Visit

expose the prisoners to the danger of
improperly prepared food, or no food
at all in bad weather, because of
mistaken desire to save money which
should be spent in equipping the
camp with necessary equipment. This
is the chief fault in the commission
ers' management. In the foreman's
management, the outstanding fault
is the lack of care in the disposal of
sewerage and other waste products Of
the camp. The pit into which the
sewerage buckets are dumped was
IS steps, or yards, from the tent in
which the convicts slept, and the
waste was not properly covered with

A MODEL JAIIiERESS.
Charities and Corrections Board
Praises Local Jail Management.

Following is the report of the State
Board of Charities and Corrections
on the Bamberg Jail, in which the
jail management of Mrs. Edgar Dick
inson is very highly praised, but in
which suggestions for improvement
of the plant are made:
Mrs. Edgar Dickinson, jaileress.
Visited May 12, 1919, by Assistant
Secretary Broyles. Prisoners, l white
male and negro males, 2 of the lat
ter being government prisoners.
''In making inspections in South
Carolina we are frequently told that
the jailer would do a great deal bet
ter if he had decent building with
which to work, and many claims as
to the impossibility of keeping the
old-fashioned, obsolete wooden build
ings clean and advanced, but when
ever we hear this We think of the
Bamberg Jail, which proves that any
type of building can be kept neat,
sanitary and attractive. 1t is a real
pleasure to visit this plant, and see
it's management in operation, and it
certainly should act as a great incen-
tive to the men jailers of the State.
In active management we have no
suggestions to make to Mrs. Dickin-
son.
Coming to the plant itself, the
story is entirely different. The build
ing is dangerous from fire, wooden
stair being the only means of exit
from the prison section. The walls
have been whitewashed, but nearly
all of this has fallen off. The beds,
except for whites, have not been fur
nished with mattresses or cotton

been. The slop barrel in the center
of camp was about foot deep with
swill, but was entirely uncovered and
open to flies. A hole had been dug
out about 10 or Is feet from the
cooking place, and into this hole dir
ty water and slop is poured freely.
The result of these several kinds of
carelessness is obvious. AS naturally
follows the camp was swarming with
flies, and the foreman stated that he
had tried every kind of commercial
disinfectant he could hear of to rid
the camp of them, but without ef-
feet. II he will clean up the camp,
and keep it. clean, he will have no
flies. Lancaster county has a larger
camp than Bamberg's, and keeps
many head of stock in camp also,
but there are no flies because the
place is clean.
eve recommend that the foreman
make the convicts clean the camp
thoroughly, and that he give close at
tention to keeping the place sanitary.
In addition to the matters suggested
above which need improvement, we
recommend that he have all blankets
in use washed at least monthly; that
every newly committed convict be
given clean blankets for his bed;
and finally, that the filthy, disgusting
practice of allowing three men to
bathe in the same tub Of water be
stopped. More than one man should
never be allowed to use the same wa
ter, especially when the men bathe
as seldom as convicts do, and are as
dirty as convicts get."

Father of Daylight
Saving Law Opposes
New York City Move
Senator Calder Says Local
Ordinance Would Create
Confusion: Suggests That
Work Start Hour Earlier

Senator William M. Calder, who in
troduccd the Senate bill which for a
time established daylight saving
throughout the country, is opposed to
the Moran ordinance, pending before
the Board Of Aldermen, to restore the
practice of moving up the clock an
hour in summer within the limits of
greater New York.
In a letter to Alderman Gayuor, Of
Brooklyn, the Senator declares the
enactment of the Moran ordinance
would result in endless confusion, and
suggests instead general agreement
among business men throughout the
country to open and close an hour
earlier, without tampering with the
clock. His letter, made public ycster-
day by the National Daylight Saving
Association, further suggests ma
tional conference to bring this about.
He says:
of Mr.. Morans plan is put into eff
feet it probably will mean that New
York City will utilize different time
schedule than the neighboring country
and at least good many of the cities
and towns nearby. That will mean no
end of confusion in the dealings Of
New York City people with those out
of town.
Railroads, of necessity, would have
to operate under the national time. for
the change would be confined to New
York City. Negotiable Instruments
would be drawn elsewhere for presen-
tation within the city at a certain
specified hour, or during business or
banking hours. and it would be d mat
ter of speculation as to when they
might be protested
II believe the different cities and
towns Of the country can effect day
light saving for themselves, without
changing the clock, by general agree
ment of the people within the different
cities to open and close the industrial
csta blshments. schools and Offices one
hour earlier from the first of May to
the 30th Of September.
The practical method to bring this
about would seem to nee to be through
the calling of d conference at an caIly
date. OF responsible heads of the mu-
nlciQal government and authorized rep
I sentatlves of the various industrial
associations. including, of course. en-
ployes' associations. If we can secure
anything like general agreement
am ong the business men and prores
slonal men and emp 'oyes, TO b gin
work an hour earlier and quit an hour
earlier. III the period indicated. the
balance Of the people of the city would
fall in line, and daylight saving would
be Ell cted without changing the clock,
and without the confusion which would
result from changing the clock locally"
