POU RE-ELECTED By Prison Board With Govern or’s Approval—Warden Bus bee Loses Job. News and Observer (Wednesday.) i George Ross Pou, of Smithlield, who was superintendent of the State Pris on for the last three years of the Morrison administration was yester day re-elected by the board of direc tors of the prison, with the express approval of the Governor, which is re quired under the statute. The matter first came before the board at its meeting in March but ac tion was deferred in the face of dis closures that a large number of per sonal items had been included in pur chases charged to the State Prison. Superintendent Pou was also charged with several acts of nepotism, in cluding the payment of large sums to an uncle, Dr. J. H. Ihrie, a dentist at Wendell, who was employed for prison work and the fact that the present deficit, which is estimated at $430,000 as of June 30, is the first to occur under a Democratic adminis tration, has been stressed. Tlie action of the board also carried - with it-the retention and promotion of every other member of the official stage of the prison except Warden J. Busbee, who was warden under three Governors and who had a total ser vice of 30 years. In a brief statement Warden Busbee charged that the ac tion was due to his failure to vote for Governor McLean in the last pri mary. But while the officials are retained and the amount of salary paid each of them has been increased by from muneration has ben decreased in each case by the abolition of the custom of allowing prison officials to charge household furnishings food for themselves and their families to the State. The prison board in a formal state ment fixed the net saving to the State at $4,000 a year, while mem bers of the board stated privately that this was a most conservative . statement and estimated the saving ! to be “at least $1,500 a year for each of the four families.” The Prison Board, while requiring each family to be self-supporting ex cept for the use of quarters at the prison, retained the custom of allow ing each official family such convicts as they may require for personal ser vants. Major Hugh Love was continued as chief clerk and also given the title of assistant superintendent, his salary being increased from $2,500 to $3,200 a year. Dr. J. H. Norman was continued as prison physician and and also given the duties of warden of the prison, his cash salary being increased from $2,400 to $3,600 a year. The prison has heretofore furn ished Dr. Norman with food, furnish ings and servants and has rented for him a home at a cost of SBS. a month. He will hereafter live at the prison. Deputy Warden H. H. Honeycutt was retained and his salary increased from $1,200 to SI,BOO a year. Superintendent Pou received an in crease in salary from $3,500 to $4,- 800 a year. “There were three men here that voted for Bailey and I’m the last one,” vjras the laconic way Warden S. J. Busbee put his failure to be re-- elected yesterday. «a • gw ■ , NEWS FROM ANTIOCH. | * t Cumnock, Rt. 1, April 6.—Mr. O, J. Peterson and Mr. Charlie Hart, al so the superintendent, . Mr. W. s R.
