tary G.. Croft Williams OF the state
board of unofficial visit to the state
penitentiary this week. There are
also five white women and 43 negro
women in the state pen1tentiary at
the present time. Last year tnere
were rs negro women and three white
women. Negro men are shifted from
the penitentiary to the state farms
when crop conditions demand 1t, put
the white men are kept at the penl-
tentiary. Mr.. Williams says that he
was particularly struck with the num-
bcr or young men in the prison.
These young men are healthy and ap-
near to be of normal intelligence, Mr.
Williams says. At the time OF lie
when they should be building up BUS
inesses and homes and in other ways
doing their part in the affairs OF their
communities, they are serving time IN
q state prison for stealing, killing. or
Some other grave offenses," he says.
tsSTany have been started at the idea
Of a crime wave. going over the coun.
try. However there can be no doubt
that for the last year crime has IN
creased in South Carolina and this
increase has been much larger among
the whites than among the negroes:
AS there are thousands of youthtul
soldiers at Camp Jackson and as these
are drawn from all parts Of the coun-
try and have certain per cent. OF an
ti-social characters among them, IL
might be expected that some would
find their way to the penitcntiary.
Yet the growth Of the white popula-
tion of the penitentiary cannot be at
tributed entirely to the proximity OF
the camp as there are number OF
South Caroinians in it. 1t was DIM
