Judge j. I. Breda received his

the Office until the LIST inst. Many
people will be glad of this change,

retiring officer, Mr.. Philips, is the
only Register in the State that we
ever heard of who dictated that

81. Our police jury created the
Office of Superintendent Of Parish
Convics about three years ago and
appointed Mr.. Tom Clark to the
place. Ills pay was placed st
S1.25 per day for each day he had
the convicts under his care. He
is allowed one guard for every six
prisoners under his charge and
these guards are paid at the rate
of u cents per day. Our Super
intendent says that he can easily
handle twenty convicts with one
guard. The Superintendent su-
pervises the work of the prisoners,
attends to the purchasing of neces-
sary provisions for them, and has
under his care the stock and i'm
plements that the parish furnishes
for the working of the prisoners.
When the number Of prisoners
is less than three they are returned
to the parish Jail, the work stops
and the services of the Superin-
tendent are dispensed with tempo
rarily. The convicts are not re-
turned to Jail at night but kept in
camps, and such ones as are liable
to give trouble are chained at night,
and wear a small chain locked to
one LEG during the day. They are
employed in building bridges,
working roads, and in doing any
other parish or town work of a
public nature. Most of the priso-
ners work willingly and are obedi-
ent to the Superintendent and
guards, knowing that their time
will be shortened for good beha-
vior. During the past three years
only one prisoner has permanently
escaped, though few others have
attempted to get away without
success. These prisoners are
worked in all sections Of the par
ish, the police jury indicating from
term to Term the points Of the par.
ish where they shall work. We
are pleased with the system. The
working Of the prisoners through
the parish serves as an object les
son, deterring the criminally in
clined from the commission of Of
