| OF the personal benefit of those Oh
Grating the prison system, with the
result that prison morale is better
than it has been in years. The result
is that those prisoners who show de-
sire TO reform and to "go straight
are given every opportunity to do this
to better themselves and to eventual
~ return to their places in society as
useful and self-respecting citizens.
The idea that some people have
that every person who is sent to pri.
son is bad all the way through and
| incapable of reformation is not true
and has long since been discarded by
most of those who have studied pri-
sons and prisoners" Governor Hoey
SAID. while there are some thOrO-
ughly bad and incorrigible prisoners
who are dangerous and incapable of
reformation, there are many others
who have been victims of circumstan-
ces or who in moments of weakness
or thoughtlessness violated the law
but who are not really criminals. 1t
is this class among the prisoners we
are going to try to train and reform
so that when their terms expire, they
may return to society as useful cit
lzns Our prison system has become
noted the past few years because of
this new attitude towards the prison
ers and prison management and I
hope to see this same attitude con-
tinue.''
Governor Hoey declined to discuss
any proposed changes in personnel,
saying that this matter would be left
entirly in the hands of Chairman
Dunlap and the new commission, who
have already decided that no changes
will be made in the divisions of the
highway department until after July
l. But since Governor Hoey seems to
be much pleased with the manner in
which the prison division has been
and is being administered, the general
belief is growing that Oscar Pitts,
now acting director of the prison di-
vision is very likely to be made perna
nent director of tn division after July
1 and be placed in full charge of pri-
son policies and management, but still
under the general direction of the
governor and chairman of the COM
mission. There are also some definite
indications that there will be some
further wedding out of those still in
the prison organization who are not
yet in sympathy with the new point
of view as exemplified by the Way
nick-Pitts regime, and who hence are
not seeing eye to eye with Governor
Hoey. 1t is no secret that some of the
prison employees, some in fairly re-
sponsible positions were bitterly OPP
:1I- i
jointed in the opposition to Waynick
in the hope that if he went out as
highway chairman, Pitts would also
go as head of the prison division. But
some of these may be disappointed
and have to leave by the back door
while Pitts remains in the front office.

looks bad, there has been consider

last inspection two years ago when
80 per cent of the scales were con-

with one or two exceptions, we had
no cause to believe that fraud was
intended by the scale owners and
steps have already been taken to
make corrections on condemned appa-
ratus."

Baucom pointed out that only one or

plants use the Babcock test to deter

The So per cent of the scales tested

Raleigh. May T. Even the cows
and pigs are getting shocked in North
Carolina these days, even though
Gypsy Rose Lee and her fellow "strip
tease" have not yet invaded this
State. 1t is a different kind of "teas-
ing" which is now shocking the pigs
and COWS on North Carolina farms,
none other than electric fences. With
North Carolina, the use Of electric
fence is increasing rapidly despite the
fact that Chairman Dudley Bagley of
the State Rural Identification au-
thority recommends the use of stor-
age batteries rather than of regular
current for electric fences, unless spe-
cial transformers approved for fences
are used.
1--WE are seeing more and more
electric fences every time we make
a trip out into the rural sections, how
ever, and many Of the farmers having
these fences are using current from
the rural power lines,' Chairman Bag
lev said "Some of the electric fences,
however, are operated with storage
batteries and Prof. David S. Weaver,
of the extension division at State Col
lege has been recommending these
as preferable to the others, unless
special equipment is used, such as a
special transformer, to step down the
current so that it will not injure live
stock. 1t is'possible to get equipment
that will control the flow of current
in electric fences so that there is no
danger of it's injuring the COWS, pigs,
horses or other live stock and we are
urging farmers who are interested in
electric fences to obtain good equip
ment and not to experiment with
homemade electric fences"
The advantage of the electric fence,
according to Bagley, is that it can be
built with one strand of plain or barb
ed wire, mounted with inexpensive
insulators on short wooden posts that
can be driven into the ground. 1t is
maintained that electric fences are
from 70 to 80 per cent cheaper to
build. that the current costs only from
10 cents to Is cents a month for 10
miles of fence and that it is more eff
fective than any other type of fence
in holding stock, since they will not
break through them.

':Mignonette" Presented
By High School Seniors

The senior class of the Henderson
high school presented the lovely
Southern romantic drama, "Migno-
nette," by Arthur Jearue in the high
school auditorium last night. The play
which was very unusual in that it had
all the elements of romance, comedy,
mystery, and the quaint qualities of
both the old and new South, was very
impressively presented by a well
chosen cast under the direction of
Mrs. J. M. Pigford and Miss Athleen
Turnage. The audience was deeply
moved with the sad story of the ideal
lstic love in tragedy that ruined two
young lives of the old South and it
was very appreciative of the sweet
successful love of the present.
The stage setting was beautiful,
yet simple with soft, old handsome
furnishings. Much credit is due the
property and stage committees. The
crinoline gowns with the large hoop
skirts of the coquettish Southern
bellies, who were very pretty and
graceful with their curls and smiles,
as we'll as the handsome old suits Of
the country gentlemen, added much to
the production.
The cast took advantage of the OPP

PIGS REALLY PIGS

Raleigh, May 6.-Pigs is really
pigs these days on the States two
big prison farms where Charlie
Creech, of Smithfield, is in charge of
farming operations, and especially of
the pigs If there is one thing Char
lie is proud Of it is the pigs that have
been raised under his supervision
When it comes to pigs, Charlie GER
tainly knows his onions, as all those
in the prison division of the State
Highway and Public Works Commits
sion will willingly testify. Charlie now
has GOT pigs and hogs on land at
Caledonia prison farm in Halifax
county and 257 at Camp Polk Farm
near Raleigh, in addition to the sew
eral hundred which have been slaugh-
tered or shipped.
II Just sold a car load of the pref
test pigs you ever saw-all of them
lust eight months old and averaging
235.75 pounds each," Creech said to-
day. "I hated to let them go, but we
have got to get rid of some of them
But there are rot any prettier pigs in
North Carolina than those we have
out here at Camp Polk and those at
Caledonia"
A few weeks ago the prison divi-
sion sold 413 pigs from Caledonia for
s13,0OO-and all but Is of them were
under one year old. In addition to the
number sold, enough were slaughtered
to provide e2QOC pounds of fresh
pork for the prisoners at Caledonia
and $4,000 pounds of pork for the men
at Camp Polk. More would have been
slaughtered but for the fact that the
weather was so mild This winter thai
