Convict Labor.

Tho convicts of Mississippi arc Il
source of REVENGE to the state, the profit
derived from them last year having been
$40, 600. The state has bought 5000
acres of good farming land and rented
or leased much more, and on this land
its 800 convicts arc worked, humanely
bat diligently, so as to secure the best
results. The Jackson Clarion Ledger
sees no reason why other states cannot
profit by Mississippi's experience and
carry Oh farming operations for profit
1t says: In case the farmers of the
state object to this sort of competition,
then the best thing to do with convicts
is to maintain tho public highways with
them. Good roads benefit all classes "
