Jail and Chain Gangs
Report of Inspection of Sumter
County Penal Institutions By
State Welfare Board

The following report of inspections
OF the Sumter county Jail and chain
gangs made by representatives of the
State Welfare Board during the
month of May will be of interest to
the people of the county:
Report Of Visit to The Sumter County
Jail, Made May 20, 1921, by As
sistant Secretary Brearley.
In spite of the commendable ef-
forts of Jailer Owens to keep it clean
the Sumter county Jail remains a
very unsatisfactory institution. The
twelve cells are dark and gloomy and
do not provide sufficient room for the
normal number of prisoners. the SAN
itary facilities are inadequate, and the
entire building is difficult to keep in
good condition. In 1916 a new Jail
was authorized. but work has never
been commenced.
The bedding was in good condition
at the time of this visit and the pris-
oners were being cared for almost as
well as the building would permit. The
Jail garden was f1ourishing and is Of
great assistance in adding variety to
the hill of fare. In general. the man
agement is good. but the permanent
plant is miserable. Certainly Sumter
county needs a new Jail.

Report of Visit to The Sumter County
Almshouse, Made May 20. 1921, by
Assistant Secretary Bearley.


The Sumter County almshouse is
at last to be improved; the appro-
priation bill for 1921 contains the
item Repairs to poorhouse buildings
$1,5OO.00' This sum, if judiciouSly
expended, will do much to remedy
the most outstanding evils of the
present plant. A further sum of So
10000 is provided for County home,
poorhouse and poor" The superln-
tendent of the almshouse now receives
the rent of fifteen acres Of land. a
house, and fifty cents day for the
adult inmates or thirty-seven and
one-half cents day for a child. The
average number Of inmates last year
was only eleven. At charge of fifty
cents each day the superintendent is
paid about 100000 a year. leaving
a balance of 100000 to be spent in
improving the institution or for out
door relief Many of the counties
of the state have found it more eco
nomical to pay the superintendent a
fixed salary and provide him with
sufficient help to run the farm and
care for the inmates.
Besides the repairs so urgently
needed for the superintendent house
and the inmates cottages more va
ried food and more personal super
vision and care of the inmates should
be provided Ultimately the countJ
can give these and other comforts at
less cost by joining with other coun-
ties in building a district home with
modern equipment for the care Of the
aged and infirm

Report of Visit to The Sumter County
Chain Gangs, Made May 20, 1921.
by Assistant Secretary Brearley.

Both Of the Sumter county chain
gangs are excellent proofs that a
convict camp can be kept clean and
sanitary in spite of the carelessness
and Indifference Of the average pris-
oners The bedding at the Main
Camp" is the best that has been seen
in months and the disposal of sewage
at both camps is excellent.
The chief faults observed were
overcrowding and lack of variety of
food. At the "Jail Yard Camp" un-
Ger Foreman John H. Holland twenty
men were sleeping in cage that
should not care for more than
eighteen and the same condition pre-
vailed at the other camp under Fore
man Jesse Holland. The cost of the
food supplied is only twenty-three
cents day; sum that does not al
low for occasional purchases of the
fresh meat and green vegetables so
necessary to the health of prisoners.
Section 19. Article 1. of the Con-
stitution of South Carolina says Cor
poral punishment shall not be inflict-
ed" This provision of the most
sacred law of the state is, being vio-
lated at both Of these camps.

4 Revolutionary Doctrine on Tubcr'
culOsis.

4 Revolutionary Doctrine on Tubcr-
(From the Report of the Connecticut
tuberculosis Commission. Pre-
pared in the main by the Chairman
DR.. Stephen J. Maher)
Until the last few years. it was
generally accepted that human tuber-
culosis was simply a contagious dis
ease and that. when an adult devcl
oped symptoms of tuberculosis, he did
so because he had recently been in
fected by inhaling the germs Of tu
berculosis fresh from the breath or
sputum of somebody who had tuber
culosis. During the last few years
this theory has received some severe
blows. and now it is q question, and
a very important question-how much
longer it can stand. The first blow
was struck by Calmette of France and
his followers. who claimed that they
had proved that pulmonary tubercu-
losis could not be caused by the in
haling of the germs of the disease.
but that pulmonary tuberculosis could
NC CduScO anu c1iN dyS vas SoQSCo w
the taking of the germs Of the disease
into the stomach and bowels, whence
they were carried by the blood to the
lungs. The second blow, or rather the
second series Of blows, was struck by
a host Of authorities in various coun-
tries. notably by Won Behring in
Germany, Fishberg in America, and H.
Battey Shaw. of England. According
to these authorities and their follow
ers. practically all civilized human
beings are infected with tuberculosis
during childhood. and practically all
tuberculosis in adult human beings is
the result. not Of recent infection, but
is the belated development Of the in
lection of childhood. This revolution
ary theory is far from being generally
accepted, but its mere discussion has
had the effect Of forcing all to realize
the Importance Of making more serious
efforts to control the tuberculosis Of
children.

Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen Of

you act with full understanding of

actly what he pays for.
Whatever salary you may fix, that
will measure the general ability of
the man you get. because you can
not expect to get ability without
paying for it.

Workers Leave Posts
i'm Textile Plants
Union Officials Say That at Least
Nine Thousand Have Walked
Out in Cotton Mills-Only One
Strike Has Been Reported, in
South Carolina

Charlotte. n. c., June state
ments of union officials and repre-
sentatives of the mill owners tonight
agreed that at least 5000 textile
workers in more than 80 plants at
Charlotte. Concord and Kannapolis,
n. c., and Rock Hill, S; c.. walked
out today as the beginning OF the
general strike of Southern operatives
authorized in an order issued by OIL
,ials of the United Textile Workers Of
he World several weeks ago.
No information was obtained to-
night from Thomas Mcmahon, vice
president of the national organization
nor any other union officials as to any
other plants to be included, further
than reiteration of former statements
that it is up to- the local unions. Mr..
McMahon said several days ago that
once the strike started it might
spread like wild fire."
No disorders had been reported to-
night from any of the affected mill
communities. Union officials repor:ed
later today to Commissioner of Public
Safety Hunnicutt and Chef of Police
Orr that peaceful picketing" would
begin at the Savona mill here tomor-
row morning and that trouble might
develop as considerable feeling had
been reported Only a part Of the
operatives walked out of that mill
today. the others remaining at work.
The mills affected today include
three large chains of plants. the Chad
| wick -Hostins, charlotte. the High
land Park mills here and at Rock
Hill. and the Cannon mills at Concord
and Kannapolic. Several other inde-
pendent mills also were closed down
by the walkout AT Concord ten mills
closed down. at Kannapolis two, at
Rock Hill one. and at Charlotte eight
besides the Savonia plant: All the
mills are spinning and weaving
plants, no knitting mills being af-
fected.
Mr.. Mcmahon said tonight in reply
to an inquiry. that all the local unions
involved: through their representa-
tives several weeks ago waived their
rights to weekly benefits from funds
of the national organizations.
The attitude of the mill executives
and owners. as expressed tonight by
David Clark, editor Of the Southern
Textile Bulletin, recognized spokes-
man for tho employers. is that Of
indifference
Mr.. Clark declared that. while the
mill owners did not welcome strike
they were perfectly willing to have
their plants stand idle. because prac-
tically none of them were operating
at ap rofit and numbers of them we, g

tomary for hundreds of bright young
college boys to enter the railroad
service ca 1 year I myself received
from 'lege presidents and from boys
at college, communications inquiring
as to how many such boys we could
take into the railway service. They
were anxious then to enter the SER
vice. But what is the situation to-
Cy? Applications Of that kind have
almost entirely ceased. They do not
come in any numbers any more. I
do not advise them to enter the
service.
In my own case to put the matter
as definitely as possible, 1 had
thought that my own son might enter
the railroad service, but before he
finished his college course. even
though he had heretofore intended
entering the railroad service. he
changed his mind and decided to
enter some other line Of business.
And why? Cd Because the future
status Of railroading seemed uncer-
tain; and (2) because l did not care
