We have found a little salt sprn-
klcd on a manure heap one of the
best applications for summer and
winter. In warm weather it attracts
moisture and keeps the manure from
tire-fanging or burning from excessive

The PenItentiary Ring.

Marksville Review: There is no au-
thority to make any convict do any la
Dor outside OF the Penitentiary, and 1t
is now and has ever been the power OF
the authorities to put an end to the con-
tract with the Penitentiary lessees.
This contract should long since have
been annuled. 1t has always struck us
as sad commentary upon a State Gov
eminent that permitted without pro-
test any such contract live SO long. II
we are not mistaken, Mr.. s. l.. James
g. Co., lease the c0nvicts from the State
at, say, $4,000 per annum-a pltlful
sum. The late Levee Convention list
ened to the idea of the State leasing
back the convicts at 5000, 900 per annum,
giving James & Co. clear profit per
annum on the States labor OF nearly
S1s8. 900 per annun. The said labor is
intended by said Convention to be here
after devoted to levee interests. 1t we are
right. then the Levee Convention was
composed OF men who did not under
stand the situation OF affairs. eBl hey
could better have advocated the annull-
ing and setting aside OF the State con-
tract with James as being contrary TO
law, and in plain violation OF its clear
provisions, and then recommended the
cllIlD1 Ol du CAtId SSHSich VI WV AASss.S
lature to take into consideration the
carving out of the necessary provisions
for the authorizing of the permanent
employing of the convicts upon the lev
ees of the State, when deemed necessa-
nv by the Governor. Convict labor, say
we. il employed outside OF the walls OF
| the Penitentiary, should be used upon
the levees. Even to accomplish so great
good. we are not willing to disregard
the plain letter OF the law which says
s.hard labor in the penitentiary. We
advocate the cause OF levee Governor
who will recommend the adoption and
enforcement of laws authorizing the
employ of convict for leyee service.
| Anart from the considerations we have
mentioned, many murders have been
committed and connived at by Louisl-
ana authorities in the interest OF the
Penitentiary lessees, as many conylcts
have been shot and killed In their en-
deayors to get away from the lessees
James s. Co. Now we ask, what right
have Messrs James & Co., or guards, to
shoot any convict who attempts to es-
/ cane from service to which he is in
no wise bound either by right or law
| The law says "hard labor in the peni.
/ tertiary and any change made by
State authorities, is an assumption o.
/ power, both dangerous and criminal

In this parish public sentiment is al

make up their minds at once to submit

elevation to the chair in Louisiana
