the trip to Anniston, with other in

camp said to be one of the best in
the South. The soldiers will return

HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1939
Convict Camp
Will Soon Be
Ready Here
Construction work has about
been completed at the new convict
camp of the State Highway & Pub
lic Works Commission at Gillburg
four miles east or Henderson, and
the camp now located on the eastern
outskirts of Henderson will be
transferred there about the middle
of August, according to information
available today.
J. H. Gupton, superintendent of
the camp, has already moved to the
Gill homeplace on the 100-acre
farm bought some months ago.
The camp is being erected by the
State at a. cost of some $40,000, and
will be modern in every sense of the
word. It will have. facilities for ac
commodating much more than the
normal population of the Vance
county camp, which is from 60 to
75.
Only Negro prisoners are kept at
this camp. It serves mostly Vance
and surrounding counties, though
transfers come in from other locali
ties from time to time.
Half a dozen or more buildings
have been erected at the new camp.
Most of the construction is of brick.
Modern conveniences usually found
in late-day prison camps have been
incorporated in this new plant,
which is soon to be turned over to
the highway department by the
contractor, who is about through
with his work.

Gro-Swif ts Top
Bankers, 9-2
Gro-Swifts proved too powerful
at bat and too good with pitching for
the Bankers yesterday afternoon in
the first half. City League softball
play-off, and the Bankers fell by a
9 to 2 score.
The big bats of the winners rap
ped Jacoby Williams for a total of
thirteen hits, with Williams contrib
uting two base on balls.
Abbott limited the Bankers to six
hits, walked one, and received top

two of his licks being most timely.
Gro-Swifts meet the winners of
the secand half for the league title.
At present, the Gro-Swifts are far
