COUNTY CHAINGANG.
The report of the State Board oi
Charities and Corrections on the Al>
beville County Chaingang is append
ed. A number of important recommendations
as to sanitation, and
camp equipment are made, whict
Sunervisor and Commissioners
should carry out immediately.
On the whole the report is fair
" There is need for improvement ir
sanitary conditions and the presenl
equipment is inadequate.
The report follows:
Mr. J. A. Schroeder, foreman. Visited
August 14, 1919, by Assistant
Secretary Broyles with Supervisoi
W. A. Stevenson. Convicts present,
15 negroes, of whom 5 were trusties.
We found the camp located in a
pleasant spot, on a hillside, abou:
five miles from Abb v The cage
ir fairly good cordilnr except
the b*ds which ha.i r.*?1 been made up
in the morning. Water vns ?r<Ar< n
for tb?.mules at a rtrofim just be-low
the camp, and for drinking and cooking
from a neighbor's well. The mule
lot was fenced in, and w:i3 ample in
size, but there was ::o shelter for the
stock in bad weathev. The disposal
of sewerage is goo i, and the misrure
t>io lot-. washes down the hili
and into the stream before becoming
deep enough to breed flic3.
The bedding is in bad shape, and
we recommend that the Supervisor
and Commissioners provide new mattresses
for those that are worn out.
Heavy canvas slips made to fit closely
over the mattresses would double the
length of life of the pads, be easily
washed themselves and thus bring
about more sanitary conditions in
the cage. The camp also needs some
new blankets, most of those now in
use being in poor condition. Enough
should be provided to allow a small
supply of clean ones at all times.
The screening of the kitchen car
needs attention, and some shelter
should be provided for the stock, to
flintM fvnm covoro woflflior
ftVVJ^/ V?t?U? AAVtM ?VT VAV f*vwv?w?. ^
We recommend that the foreman
require the cook to keep slops covered
tightly; that each new convict be
given clean blankets when he comes
to the gang; and that no two or more
men ever be allowed to bathe in the
same water as is done in winter.
The clean blankets can be provided
by requiring each discharged convict
to wash hisT bedding thoroughly before
allowing him to leave the camp.

THE "PROPER-GANDER."
The first issue of the "PROPERGANDER",
a. school paper published
/ by the Abbeville High School students,
was printed Wednesday. It
is not necessary to go into the merits
of the publication from a typographical
viewpoint?we printed it. After
a careful consideration of the subject
matter, we would say that the
paper ranks with the best of its class.
In fact, it could be compared favorably
with many college publications
of similar purpose.
The propaganda, the school notes,
the jokes, the editorials?all the departments
are well balanced and the
various articles are well written.
The advertising carried speaks
irnll -fay? ffinQTininl pn/>/?afr<
uvii xvri. i/iic iiuaacmi oviuvcaa ui tuc
paper. And there is no denying that
a High School publication is an excellent
advertising medium; for nothing
is closer to the hearts of parents
than the school life of their children.
The paper is edited by students of
the High School?the subject matter ?
( creatures of their brains. Of course '
' there is unofficial censorship on the i'
i
part of the faculty, since the paper is !
a part of the regular High School j
course.
We wish for the new publication |
abundant success and we believe
that will be forthcoming. We alsoi
believe that the paper will prove of
immense value to the Abbeville 1
J schools in that it will bring the
teacher, pupil and patron in more 1
complete accord and bring about a
better understanding all around. ItJ
pays to advertise.
The leading editorial of the first;
'issue we publish as follows, because,'
it sets forth the aims and purposes>
of the paper:
} ? !
} DE PROPAGANDA FIDE.
) i,
Way back in 1623 Urban VIII, the |
last of eight popes of that name, J
founded a college to educate priests;
for missionary work and gave his i
new institute the name which is the J
caption of this salutatory.
The word, 'propaganda,' is deriv-j
E ed?as any High School student t
knows, from the Latin verb, 'propa- i
- gare' meaning to propagate or
- spread. As is usually the case, tne j
I meaning of the word, 'propaganda,'i
i has undergone changes until today;
! we pronounce the word almost with:
a hiss, and no doubt many people!
. believe the word to have been 'made
i in Germany' for export only. We
: do not care to dwell at length upon'
the etymology of our paper's name
but we feet that we owe this much
to our honorable subscribers. We are '
not pro-German, in fact, we are not 1
; pro anything except pro-education. ;
We greet you therefore as repre-;'
1 sentatives of your own schools, the ;
most valuable possessions in the1,
world, and as messengers of the king '
of treasures we hope monthly during '
the present school session to become!'
as indispensable to you as your 1
lYlAMllTlff flllTI rtnffon A1* OO TTTO O A ' 1
dison's Spectator to the beaux and I'
belle of Queen Anne's time.
The purpose of this sheet will be
not only to circulate school news and
gossip but to do all in its power to i
bring about a closer relationship be- j
rween school and home as well as |
providing a means of teaching High School
students the art of correctly ,
expressing their thoughts in print and
thereby creating individual style and
perchance sometime unearthing what
might otherwise Vemain 'a mute, inglorious
Milton."
These columns shall be open to
letters or papers from any patrons
of the school who feel that they have
something of interest and benefit to
tell, but, friends, be reasonable? _
particularly be brief and to the point, p
To our advertisers?noble men
they are?we wish to thank you for
the eenerous response to th? pnmpst.
solicitations of our youthfu 1 manager,
which responses have .made pos?
sible the publication of "Proper- F
Gander.' We bespeak for you liberal
patronage from our readers.
i f
And so to all our friends we greet
you in this our first number, and may
our associations be only mutually I
pleasant, and profitable in the months j"~
to come?so profitable in fact that|Q
at the clo. ? of this school session we I
may make plans for a permanent
school publication.
WATER CRAZY.
What in the world is the matter q
with Spartanburg? They seem to be
water crazy. For the last two months
the Journal has been hammering on
the city water commission because
the rate is fifty cents a thousand in
Spartanburg and is much less in
Greenwood and now comes "Veritas"i -
.inu suggests tnat me cooks ot spar- f
tenburg be required to take a bath.
Can you beat it? It is a direct slap
at the housekeepers. If such methods
are put into practice how is a
housekeeper to know the cook has
come in the morning or to be sure at
all times during the day that shej
is in the kitchen.
Spartanburg is water crazy.
l
MANY COME FROM GREENWOOD j
TO SHOP. (
I
There were many Greenwood people
here Wednesday and Thursday,!
attracted by the advantages of shop- I
ping in Abbeville. Not only are the
prices right here, but the quality of
the goods is comparable to that to be

An all-day exercise was held in the!
Baptist church on last Monday, in the1
interest of the 75 Million Dollar drive1
Lunch was served on the grounds and
quite a lage crowd was present to;
hear the different phases of thfe work;
discussed in a most interesting and'
Instructing manner by the following
speakers: Dr. Jester, Dr. Smith, Dr.
Jamison and Mrs. Outz, all of Green-1
owod. On the following day a simi-'
lar srevice was held at Midway'
church. These speakers will make an
itinery of all'the churches in the Abbeville
Baptist Association in reference
to this grand work.
Federal Manager E. T. Lamb with
the superintendent and other railroad
officials were here recently on their
annual inspection tour. The agent,'
Mr. I. B.Bel!, had been notified of;
their coming and held everything in;
readiness for the visit. After an inI
spection of everything in general,'
they expressed themselves as pleased!
with the management and felt the
need of a better building in which to'
do business. A large amount of traf-:
fic, both travel and freight, is carried
on at this station and }t is not only an1
eye-sore to the town,-but a disadvantage
to the employees to force them
to handle a lucrative business in the
unsightly, dilapidated building which
they now occupy.
The Radcliffe Chatauqua Co., will
show at Lowndesville .October 31Nov.
1 and 3. The second coming on
Sabbath, there will be no show on
that day, but as is the usual custom,
some of the speakers will lecture o*
preach in one of the town churched.
The Chautauqua this year is said to I
>e especially goood, the program con-J
nsting of lectures, concerts and talks'

forwarded in a few days to Dr. Kirkjatrick,
