PRISON EDUCATION
PROGRAM TO START
Director Pitts Tells of Plans
For Teaching of States
Prisoners
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By j. G.. BASKERVILLE,


Raleigh, Sept An extensive
educational program for the prisoners
In ;He State Prison system is to be
started in the near future possibly ny
November 1, Acting director Oscar
I. Pitts, of the prison division of the
State Hihgway and Public Works
Commission, said today. An educa-
tional director will be appointed in
the near future who will be in charge
of prison education program, he in
Dictated.
Because Of the large number of pri-
soners--almost 9,OOO-and the num-
Der of prison camps, the program will
have to be started on a small scale
and then gradually expanded, Pitts
said. Accordingly, present plans con-
template the establishment of the edu-
cational work in only about nine or
ten units and for the longer term pri-
soners only, Pitts said.
"We have decided that it will not
be practical to undertake any of this
educational work among prisoners
whose sentences are less than one
year, due to the fact that the short
term prisoners would not be in the
prison system long enough to get any
benefit from the classes we are plan
ming to hold" Pitts said. "In fact, we
have decided that for the time being
most of the educational work should
he confined to the long termers con-
victed Of felonies and the younger pri-
soners from 16 to 81 years of age SER
wing sentences of one year or more.
$50, to start things off, we are
planning to begin the classes only in
the Central Prison here, at Camp
Polk. where we have the young white
felons from 16 to 81 years old, at
Caledonia Prison Farm in Halifax
county, where we have most of the
older long term felons and hard
boiled yeggs' and probably in about
six carefully selected prison camps
in which we will segregate the young
err prisoners. For we have hundreds
of prisoners between 16 and Is years
of age scattered all through the 9TH
err camps, since we have room at
Camp Polk only for the younger pri-
soners convicted of felonies and SEN
fenced to long terms"
If these six prison camps are es-
tablished for young prisoners, three
will probably be for white prisoners
and three for Negro prisoners, Pitts
said. They will all be carefully select
ed on the basis of their records to
date, past records before being sent
to prison, their present attitude. and
so forth, Pitts said.
zone reason we have delayed the
starting of this educational program
was to give us time to make more
progress with our segregation plans"
| Pitts said. "For it's very essential
to get the prisoners classified and
segregated before trying to start our
classes. For three or four tough guys
in a camp can undermine the entire
morale of the others in the camp and
have the same effect on the other pri-
soners that half dozen rotten ap-
pies has on the good apples in an
entire barrel. Accordingly, we are
trying to weed these tough and in
corrigible prisoners out from the bet
| ter prisoners and put them in camps
by themselves, under more stringent
discipline and closer guarding. In.

nomination in 1910?
These and other similar questions
are being heard here and some are
already convinced that DR.. Mcdonald
decide to study law largely to merely
kill time" until another election and
to better prepare himself for anoth-
er campaign. Many here are convinc-
eded that Mcdonald will become
candidate for the 1899 General AS
sembly, either from Forsyth or
Orange counties and that by 1910 he
will have become established as a res
ident of an eastern county so he can
again become candidate for COVER
nor without violating the tradition
OF rotation or alienation of candi-
dates between the east and the west
If Mcdonald should again become
candidate or try to dominate the
liberal" Democrats four years hence
there is very real possibility that
he might become a rather large
stumbling block in the political path
OF Cooley should he decide to give
up his seat in Congress to try for the
seat in the governors office in the
State Capitol hepe. There is
chance, of course, that the Mcdonald
influence may wane greatly in the
next four years and his name be only
vague memory of 1886. The Cooley
supporters are hoping this will be
the case. But many are convinced
mat Mcdonald is far from through
IN the political picture here and that
ne is still to be reckoned with.

Raleigh, Sept. 3O.-Poitics ratbon
than safety was at the bottom of tho
strike of school bus drivers at throe
high schools in Madison county -
was learned from an authoritati,,o
source here today, following the SET
tlement of the strike when the bns
drivers were assured of receiving s17
a month instead of the SO a month
which the State allows for studant
drivers or towards the payment of
adult drivers.
The trouble in Madison county wac
largely the result of the fact that tha
county school board and county su-
perintendent of schools are Demo
Gratis, while the board of county COM
mlssloners is composed of Republi-
cans, with the result that this Repuh-
llcan board of commissioners refused
to approve the school budget set I'm
~ the Democratic school board ana
superintendent, according to an IN
vestigation made by interested mar
ties here. In former years the county
commissioners have always slJnnlo-
mented the school funds provided nv
the State so that adult school brS
drivers could be employed at salaries
ranging from SIT to $40 a month. ac-
cording to the information obtained
here. But this year the county com
missioners refused to approve the
experimentation of State funds for
any purpose, including bus drivers
, with the result that the only funds
| available for their payment was the
| SO a month per driver which the State
allots for that purpose.
The result was that when the bus
drivers found out they would not get
| the usual SIT to $40 month they had
been getting, they refused to drive
tn buses until assured of their for
mer pay scale. While the details of
the Strike" settlement have not been
learned here as yet, it is being sur
missed that the county commissioners
have at last consented to supplement
the school funds with county funds
sufficient to restore the pay of school
bus drivers to it's former level.
It is pointed out here that student
drivers could be used in Madison
county as in most of the other coun-
ties, but that there are so many who
want jobs that it has employed adults
for several years.

Ray Wolf at Carolina.
They observe that the Major. has
never been defeated by a Carolina
team, that, in fact, he has seldom
been defeated by any team. For six
straight years the Vols under the
guidance of the Major toppled the Tar
Heels. In 1880 and 1881 Carolina put
up heroic fights, only to succumb fin
ally 81 and 10.
Last year tn Tar Heels were able
to beat Tennessee by the convincing
score of 1918, but the Vols admit
tedly had an off year. They were
under a new coach and had suffered
8 heavy loss of regulars, among them
Phantom Fhil Dickens, the galloping
ghost, who had not recovered from a
broken ankle. This year Dickens is
back. and Carolina Scouts say he is
setting the woods afire again.

towards the liberal rather than the
conservative side for the next four
wears. as many are convinced it Will,
Cooley should become the choice or
the liberals" and receive their whole
hearted support, many are alreaoy
convinced.
Not only would Cooley benefit from
the pioneering and missionary work
done during the recent primary cam
paign by DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald, in
which he polled more than 212,OOo
votes for governor, but he should be
able to go much farther than McDon-
aid. due to the fact that Cooley is
a native North Carolinian and better
versed in NORTH Carolina background
and tradition than was Mcdonald.
Cooley is also regarded as being more
practical and not as much of cru
sading reformer and political dream
err as Mcdonald, who was a native
of Illinois, rearer and educated in
Arkansas before coming to North
Carolina some II years ago.
It is also pointed out that, while
Cooley himself successfully walked a
IlSHL rope 10 Ills OWIl
for Congress without falling into the
gubernatorial primary battle, most of
his former outstanding supporters
when he defeated George Ross Pou
for Congress two years ago were
among McDonalds leading hackers.
1t is also regarded as significant that
most of the counties in the fourth
district went overwhelmingly for DR..
Mcdonald for governor and are re-
garded as being dominated by the
liberal element. Accordingly, many
here believe that if Cooley should be-
come a candidate for governor in
1910, he could count on having the
present liberal" or mcdonald"
Democrats back of him almost 100
per cent provided DR.. Mcdonald has
no further political ambition and does
not oppose Cooley.
Mcdonald May Run Again
But is there any assurance that Dr.
Mcdonald intends to retire from the
political field in North Carolina or
cease his crusading for more liberal
ism within the Democratic party? Is
there not possibility that the for
mer Winston-Salem college RI ofes-
sor, now studying law at Chapel Hill,
may move his residence from the
west into the east during the ensu-
ing four years, in order to again be-
come candidate for the Democratic

thus having met 81 times on the
gridiron.
A glance at past scores show that
a meeting of State and wake FOREST
resulted Al games. On just Few
occasions have there been one-slded
results. The most noticeable OF these
was the second 1908 game which state
won 1870. and the 1914 game Whlch
State also won, 72-0.
There probably have been more up
set games in the State-Wake Fofesl

son is that since their first fray IN
1903 State and Wake Forest have ben
