Weldon, N. c., Dec. 14.-(SpeciaD.--
The people of Halifax county are Won
dering why the penitentiary authorities
turned off Underwood at the State farms
and then put Mr.. Dockery in nameless
office at $40 per month. Was it because
he is a brother of the chairman?
And why do they retain Hughes, who.
1t is said, has made an overseer Of a
convict and who has degraded a Hall
fax county man, Mr.. Moseley, gentle
man of excellent family, by making him
carry water to the convicts, and actual
" help pick cotton? 1t is also said tina
Hughes has fitted UP room in the su
peryisor's residence for his cook, and
there are some other things connecte
with this matter that the executive com
mittee should inquire into.
l notice that several State papers in
sympathy with the present management
are condemning Democratic comment on
the way things are going on at the State
farms. but as this property belongs to
the people, they have right to know
how it is managed.
have been made in this correspondence,
are not true, let the authorities show
that | am in error and | will gladly apol-
ogize. But these are facts. and witness
es are plentiful.
1t is said that there are many other
and graver charges that may appear
later on 1t is certain that there is poor
management now. and that at least 500
ha1aS of cotton will remain in the fields
and it is said that 100 bales are on the
ground or damaged because of failure
to save it in time.
And as to the present homogeneous
boast of the fine crop why the major
part of it was raised by Democratic su
pervisors. The present incumbent
claim, however, that they could not get
convcts enough to pick the cotton out
as fast as it opened, but if the convicts
had been put to work in time, instead
of racing them ND and down the rail
roads, chasing will-o'- the-wisp contracts
that hardly paid expenses. the crop
could have been housed easily, and the
State would be several thousand dollars
ahead
If the present authorities mean to be
fair. just and honest with the people,
why do they not state that the reason
these farms have not paid heretofore
is because the time and labor of the
convicts have, in great measure, been
expended in clearing. ditching and dvk-
ing these farms. the low lands of which
were considered by the old slave hold
ers as beyond the power of man to dyke.
etc, but they are now the best produc-
ing fields on these farms.
