The criticism by the State Wei
fare Commission Of the conditions
existing at the Sumter county
chain gangs is undoubtedly found
ed upon facts. Convicts have
been whipped by the officers in
charge of the chain gang. This is
not denied. but it is claimed that
punishment was inflicted only when
absolutely necessary to maintain
discipline. 1t is also claimed that
the whippings We're never dehber-
ately so severe as to be claSsed as
brutal and that the convicts who
have been whipped have brought
the punishment upon themselves
by persistent INSTRUMENTATION. 1t
is unlawful TO whip convicts. But
the officers of the chain gangs are
required TO maintain discipline and
to see that the sentences Of the
court that the convictS perform
hard labor is carried out. How is
this to be accomplished without
some form Of punishment for in
subordination and persistent refu$-
al to perform the tasks assigned
them? With the class of convicts
that the chain gang officers have TO
deal with. what measures should
be adopted to maintain discipline
and enforce the rule that hard la
Dor be performed? 1t is problem
the Welfare Commission may be
prepared to solve.

tsgated and found that the state
ment as it stood, all by itself, was
true: But inasmuch as the entire
population of Alaska. at the present
time is less than 10000. and trans
portation is so expensive that it ef-
feettally bars the marketing Of
farm products elsewhere at a pro-
fit, : he wasn't advising 100000

Big Cotton
Battle Coming
Southern Holders and Buyers
Lining Up for Fleecy Tussle

Now that the government crop
report and indicated final yleld
for this season is behind us, the
cotton future markets Will depend
in their fluctuations on the rapidity
with which textile interests absorb
contracts.
From now. until crop news starts
70 have its effect on fluctuations
beginning. next summer, a mighty
battle is scheduled between the cot
ton holders of the south and those
who buy cotton and make it avail
able for use by the general public.
But the south will have an unwit-
ting ally in the form Of mother naz
ture~herself.
The crop is not only short, but
according to reliable reports a
large percentage of the crop will
be non-tenderable on contracts.
For the season ended July 81, last,
non-tenderaple cotton including
snaps and bollies in the hands of
farmers (not stored in compress
ors and warehouses; equalled 1875
per cent. of the total farm holdings
on that date from the 1920 crop.
1t is futile to attempt to estimate
just what percentage ef the 1921
crop will be non-tenderable. We
might make a guess but our esti-
mate on non-tenGerable cotton
might be so large that it might
arouse the ouspoken derision Of
those who think that a crop which
because Of weather conditions has

The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1921-10-22

There has been a fair degree Of
interest shown in the project of
the establishing and maintaining
of canning factory in Sumter
since the meeting which was held
in the Chamber Of Commerce at
noon Saturday. The plans that
were suggested call for the founa-
ton Of $4,000 corporation. 1t
was estimated that only $4,000 of
this amount would have to be rails
ed in order to make the beginning
This money would necessarily have
10 so toward the buying Of the ma
chinery and equipment of the
plant. The corporation could at
first rent a building with the op-
ton Of buying at a later date. The
meeting held the suggestion that
the remaining $4,000 could be
subscribed for by the farmers of
the county to be payable in the
spring and summer with their
fruits, vegetables and produce.
The establishment of this factory
would help materially even the
smallest farmer. 1t will be import
an however, that enough farmers
plant sufficient produce to make
the whole plan success. 1t seems
that nothing could be entered into
just at this time which, with a
small outlay of capital. could be
OF such benefit 10 such large
number OF people both in the city
and county. Give this YOUR
thought.
