Delegates selected by Accomac and
Elizabeth City counties, will meet
in convention soon to nominate Il
candidate TO represent the two coun-
ties in the next House of Delegates,
and Elizabeth City, we are advised,
will present the names of two gentle
men who are aspirants for the honor
with an equal number of delegates to
present their claims of fitness for the
position.
That both are qualified to fill the
place, so far as ability is required,
will not be questioned but that
neither is when their claims are con-
sidered in another respect. is equally
true, so far as Accomac is concerned,
ifthe information We have received is
correct. In other words, both OF
them are said to favor Hon. Thomas
Martin as bis own successor in the
United States Senate, while the peo-
pie of Accomac on the other hand not
only do not want him to represent
them in that capacity but have in
structed their delegates to vote for
no one who does want him. Such be
Jag the case Accomac delegates must
either disobey instructions or vote
against both of them, unless one Of
them will pledge himself to give up
his Martin proclivities to the extent
of not supporting him as his own sue
cessor, for seat in the next House
of Delegates. But a better way out
of the dilemma, perhaps, as Elizabeth
City seems to be unable to make
choice and as that county is said to
be about equally divided between
supporters of Tyler and Martin,
would be, to decline to support either,
if both are Martin men, and ask the
Elizabeth City delegation to name
a candidate for the House, who will
not only promise to support Tyler,
but is in sympathy with the moves
ment for the election of Governor
Tyler as the successor of Mr.. Martin

1A[ PRISON REPORT
Warden Hunter Makes Biennial Re.
port Of the Anamosa State
Penitentiary.
Some Observations as to the Feast.
bility Of Starting Binding
Irvine Factory.
Minnesota Making Money at the
Business In the Prison at
saltwater.

Des Moines, Aug. 3O.-The state board
OF control is in receipt of the second
annual report by Warden Hunter, of
the Anamosa penitentiary.
The most interesting thing in the re-
port, perhaps. is the warden's sugges-
tions and recommendations regarding
the establishment of binding Irvine
plant to be operated by penitentiary
convicts. Warden Hunter says that he
is aware OF the desire of the board of
control that the inmates Of the institu-
ton be kept employed, and for this rea-
son he investigated the matter of a
binding Irvine plant. He finds that a
plant with capacity of 10000 pounds
per day will cost 100000. In addition to
the cost of the plant and equipment a
revolving fund of $4,000 for carrying
over a stock of raw material from one
season to another would be required.
These figures are based upon the usual
price of Manila fibre. At the present
time the cost of such fibre is 10 cents
per pound, therefore the revolving fund
would have to be raised to 100000 in
case present prices should continuee. "A
$50, 900 plant would employ seventy-five
or eighty men, which would mean an
Investment of s4.375 to each employee.
This plant would furnish about 100000
pounds of Irvine per annum, or one
fourth of the amount annually used in
the state of Iowa.
Warden Hunter says that Minnesota
has found that prison labor can be
lprofitably employed inthe manufacture
of Irvine. He quotes from reports to
show that Minnesota has cleared about
SITE, 900 in three years by the operation
of its plant.
| Another suggestion made by Warden
Hunter contemplates a hollow ware
plant He says that a factory to en-
ploy $50 men can be built for $4,000
which would be an investment Of $500
per man. These plants, he says, are
paying In Maryland, Indiana and Hi
nois. He is of the opinion that the state
could save money by using it's prison
labor in the manufacture of nearly al
the goods used by the state, particular
lily cloth and wooden goods, uniforms
|shoes and machinery.
i The warden favors the parole system
and says that the next legislature
Ishould change the law so that the pris-
Ioner would have some incentive TO,
good behavior. Hope" he contends
sis more potent agant than fear"
The warden asks for appropriation.
Amounting to ss9, 210.3O. He reports tina
the new prison building, which ha
gone forward by prison labor alone, will
be completed in two years. provided
Z the next legislature makes the neces
sary appropriation.
