RALEIGH. n. c.. April 7, 1890.
Mr.. Chauncey Dcpew's structures on the
southern convict system have no truth on
application a. far a. North Carolina is con-
cerned. Here there have never been
charges Of cruelty or mismanagement, yet
for some twenty years the conyicts have
been at work on the railways. The reason
is that the couyicts never pass from State
control The railways pay so much per
wear for the labor OF each convict. The
State feeds clothes, aud guards the pri-
soners, aud has absolute control of their
discipline, &c. II is good system. MIR.
Depew ought 10 have stopped in the State
