Pensacola Journal: The state convict
question is one with which candidates for
Governor might very appropriately deal.
The old lease system should go. and the
next Governor ought to be a man who is
in favor of abolishing it for more civil
lied order of things. No matter how hu-
system might be made, 1t will always be
wrong in principle. Convict labor ought
never to be permitted to compete with
honest labor, and should always be en-
ployed upon works of public Improvement.
There are plenty of honest men in Flor
ida to do the work which conVicts are
now doing, and there are plenty of public
improvements upon which the convict la
Dor could be employed. Let us have a
change in the system as soon as posi-

EMORY STUDENTS ARE MAD.
They Think Woodward Should Have
Had Graves Medal

Oxford. Ga, Nov. T.-Mr Conner NJ.
Woodward of Tennessee represented En-
ory at the contest in Atlanta for the
Graves medal for oratory, and made the
speech of his life, but lost by narrow
margin. After the speeches were all
made and the judges were making their
decision, it is said the entire house con-
ceded the medal to Woodward of Emory,
but they We're soon to be disappointed.
Mercer University led in the marks on
composition, with Emory second. On the
marks on the delivery Emory led, with
the exception of one judge who decided in
favor of Mercer, which gave her the med
al.
The students here are highly indignant
over the affair, and there is some talk of
not entering the contest again. Persons
who were not interested either way in the
contest say that Emory won it and should
have had it..
Whatever may he the outcome of the af-
fair one thing is certain-that Emory will
not contest it. This is the third consecu-
tive time that Mercer has won this medal.
