INSPECTS
FRANKLIN
JAIL
L. O. Whitley, State Inspector, Re
commrnda County Feeding Pris
oners From County Home.
The following report on the con
lltlon of the Franklin County Jail
is the result of an Inspection made
>y State Inspector L. G. Whitley, on
[uly 22nd, 1931, with recommenda
lons has been received by Chair
nan W. T. Moss, of the Board of
bounty Commissioners and Supt. E.
3. Perry, of the Welfare Depart-,
nent:
Jailor: A. S. Wiggs; Asst. Jailer:,
it. M. Minor.
Population: White male 1, Color
id female 2, Colored male 3.
The Jail was remodeled a few
rears ago and has adequate facilit
ies for the usual jail population of
he county.
Method of Management: The Jail
s operated on the fee system. The
aller receives 60 cents per day for
feeding the prisoners. Some com
ilalnt was made by the prisoners re
tarding the quality of the food
VI IOd. ? r '
The prisoners remain locked In
he cells and corridors at all times.
Jo Jail official stays at the Jail eith
r day or night.
General Conditions: The wom
in's apartments of the Jail were in
:ood condition. The apartments for
he male prisoners were not being
aaintained in a clean and tidy man
ler. Rubbish and collections of ma.
erials were observed. Old rubbish
>nd inflammable materials were
ound In cans and n^ptal barrels In
nd about the jail. The practice of
blowing Inflammable materials to
emaln in and about the jail bulld
ng where cigarette stubs, eto. may
>e thrown, has already demonstrat
d the fire hazard. A can sitting
m the porch filled with rubbish, etc.,
ras Ignited sometime ago and burn
d part of the posts on the porcfh.
"he Jail is fire proof, however, the
[anger lies In the possibility of suf
ocatlon from smoke.
Recommendations
1. Remove all rubbish and gar
age from Jill dally.
2. The Jail cells need painting
n some sections.
3. The elimination of the fee
ystem for feeding prisoners Is be-1
oming common practice. Probably
. satisfactory arrangement could
e worked out to feed the prisoners
rom the kitchen of the County
lome, which would be advantag
ous for all concerned.

as a museum piece. Built accordr
Ing to plans furnished by the Fisher
Body Craftsman's Gluld, It Involved

TOBACCO OPEN
ING IN GEORGIA
DRABAFFAIR
21 Markets Open With Good Crowds
And Plentiful Supply ? 5 to 75
Cents Paid.
Macon, Ga., July 28. ? Georgia to
bacco planters went to market today
and tound the opening 1931 auc
tions rather drab.
This however did not dampen
their enthusiasm for spirited offer
ings in later bids as a dull opening
was anticipated due to late matur
ity for bright leaf In the belt.
First offerings bore out govern
ment predictions of a sharply de
tailed crop forecast recently on re
ports of acreage reduction and ad
verse weather.
The 21 markets in the state open
ed with good crowds and the floor
supply was plentiful particularly at
Adel where more than a quarter
million pounds were available. Pric
es Improved as sales proceeded and
an unofficial report said the average
price there was seven cents.
The only official prices reported in
the belt came from Douglas where
the United States department of
agriculture is maintaining a crop
reporting service. First quality
orange lugs there brought 112.50
near the opening while fifth grade
brought >8.80. ?
The department said prices aver
aged below last year's at the open
ing but Improved during the day. A
total of 92,500 pounds was sold at
Statesboro and the unofficial average
price there was $8.34. - par 100
pounds. . "
VldalUi reported sales of 400,000
pounds for an unofficial average of
$5 per 100.
Growers generally did not offer
their best grades today. Much of
the choice leaf has not matured, and
tobacco men agreed the sales would
be comparatively slow until this crop
is brought to the floors.
Tlfton reported its warehouses as
about half full. Best grade lugs
there brought an unofficial average
of 16 to 25 cents per pound.
