FLORIDA'S CONVICT SYSTEM.
Many improvements Have Been MADE
Over the Old Methods.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 23.-Hon. NJ. B.
Wombwell, commissioner of agriculture
who has charge of the state convicts. has
labored several years with a view to hav-
ing the present system of management es-
tablished by laws, namely, the appoint
ment of supervisor of state convicts and
convict Clamps. whose duty it is to enforce
the laws, rules and regulations relative
to the sanitary condition, food, clothing,
bedding, work. permanent and general
care and treatment of the convicts.
Under the law enacted by the Legisla-
ture of 1899, Hon. Robert F. Rogers of
Lake City was appointed supervisor of

port on the condition of the convicts.
camps, ETC., to Hon. L. B. Wombwell,
from which the following data is obtained:
There are twelve convict camps. At sew
en- of these the convicts are engaged In
mining phosphate, three in Alachua and
four In Citrus county. There is one camp
each in Citrus, fernando, Marion, Clay
and Washington counties, manufacturing
naval stores.
There are eighty-fve white males, one
white female, $50 negro males and thirteen
negro females, making a total of $50 in
the several convict camps. The old sys-
TEN Of claiming prisoners together in cells
at night has been dispensed with and
only a few of the most desperate char
acters about twenty-five in the different
camps, are made to wear shackles in the
day time.
The manager of each camp is required
to cultivate from one to four acres in
vegetables, so that the convicts have
plenty of vegetables.
During the winter the convicts are al
lowed fresh pork once a week, and in
summer fresh beef once a week. Fish,
lard, onions, coffee, sweet potatoes and
tobacco are provided occasionally.
Punishment for fighting, quarrelling
and disobedience of orders is inflicted
with leather strap. restricted to fifteen
lashes. Last month, out of 740 convicts,
only 10 were punished with from to 10
lashes.
The quarters are so constructed that
the white and colored prisoners do not
eat or sleep together. None are allowed to
sleep in soied clothes. Their bedding
consists of standard mattresses, a pair
of heavy blankets. sheets and pillows.
The convicts are not allowed to work be-
fore sunrise or after sunset. Each con-

camps have religious services by local
ministers. Convicts who have been in the

more humane chan any ever experienced
by them.

planters were quite generally eager to Sc
cure present prices for their crop. and
that they would remain sellers so long as
the present high average of crop accounts
was maintained
Local parties who started In 20 buy for

Advices from cotton goods centers point

Private cables indicated that the cotton
trade of Great Britain and the continent
was not only haarishiy influenced by crop
accounts from this side, but on account OF

Morning News Office, May 2s.-The
slump in cotton futures was the center
of attraction with local cotton men to-
day. The opening reports showed decep-
tive advances, due to the belief on the
part of some chat the previous sharp de-
clines entitled the market to reaction.
Instead of taking this course, however
the rush of the long interest to liauidate
for fear of an August corner caused this
cline of about 100 points since the selling
movement started. July also went off
sharply, the decline being about 80 points.

planters win remain sellers as long as
the present bearish indications from every
side continue. The element that started
