Mississippi furnishes interesting read
ing. 1t was submitted few .davs avo
Dy the state Warden, and is suggestive
OF a direction in which conyicts mieb+
be pro1tably and healthfully emDlovAd
The State Of Mississippi owns four
farms outright, AM for a number of
years has leased or rented about ton
others, averaging 1000 acres each. On
these have been distributed 1000 con-
Victs, mostly colored. A year ago the
Legislature purchased another farm in
the delta, the richest cotton producing
section OF the State. Six hundred
acres Of that land was cleared and
planted in corn. This season the State
farms viii produce 6,725 bales of cotton
and $500 bushels of corn. Two thou-
sand four hundred and sixty-two bales
Of the cotton will go for rent, leaving
4,26S for the States share. This will
barely be enough, however, to pay ex
penses Of the penitentiary. On two big
farms in the hill section of the State.
the warden reports $50 head Of fat cat
tie, one-half of which are to be sold;
$50 head of hogs, 1000 tons of hay.and
hundreds of bushels of peas and pota-
toes.
This method is proving satisfactory
in Mississippi, but we think that the
employment of convicts for the con-
structiOn of good roads would be more
satisfactory in Florida just now.

CoNvIcrs AND GOOD ROADS.


The question of convict labor is one
that has been receiving attention in
nearly every Southern State. 1t is far
from settled, although it has been a
pressing one for years. There is no
doubt that the method employed in
many States of leasing tie conVicts to
the highest bidder is a very demoral-
izing one. It brings the convicts in
competition with free labor, and nat
urally keeps, the prices of labor down.
This Is especially true in the neighbor-
hood of large convict camps, although
other localities may not be 30 affect
ed.
It is our opinion, based on ObserVa-
ton in States where the method is en-
ployed, that the questions Of convict
labor and good roads can be answered
In a way that will be beneficial to a
large number of people. This way is
to let the convicts construct and main
tain the roads, under the supervision of
competent civil engineer. The con-
summation of this end seems to be a
long way in the future, however. Still
1t might not be a bad idea to agitate
the question as frequently as possible,
and keep it before the public.
in the meantime, the report Of con-
vict labor on the farms Of the State of

HELP BEAUTIFY TALLAHASSEE

HELP BEAUTIFY TALLAHASSEE.
IN order to attract new residents a
town or city must be rendered as at
tractiVe as possible. 1t is the duty
of every citizen to assist in promot-
>ing cleanliness. This applies espec-
tally to your own premises. If your
fences Or buildings are in a dilapidated
condition, see to it that they are re-
paired as soon as possible.
Remove everything that serves to
detract from the beauty of the city.
Paint or whitewash the Ontbuildings
and fences. Nothing so tends to beau
tify place as cleanliness nor con-
duces more to the health of a COM
munity.
Tallahassee is ideally located and is
really a pretty place, but it. could be
made the most beautiful little city in
the United States. 1t only requires a
small amount of energy and persever-
ance to accomplish this end. Of
course the streets and sidewalks need
looking after. Broken and uneven
sidewalks are an abomination, while
streets that are dusty or cut up with
gullies after every rain shonld not be
tolerated.
Perhaps, if the citizens would show
an inclination to help build up and
improve the city by beautifying their
own premises something might be ac-
complished towards getting better
streets. Such a display OF enterprise
on the part of the town might encour-
age the Legislature to take more pride
in the States property here.
Another thing on this line: Talla-
hassee has a good volunteer fire de-
partment. The men are prompt to re-
spond to a call, are just as efficient as
the average volunteers. Int they are
not equipped to successfully fight fire.
This is a self-eVident fact, as any one
can see- A fire can gain great head
way in the time elapsing between the
giving of the alarm and the arrival OF
the department on the scene. The
men are thus compelled to work under
disadvantages that would prove dis
couraging to the best equipped COM
pany. If the fire occurs at night, or
on the outskirts of the town, the de-
partment usually gets there in time
to save the chimneys.
This state Of affairs will conIlnpe
until we have destructive blaze then
the city will awake from its sIumbeGs.
1t is always too late to lock the stable
doors after the horse has been stolen.
But this is just what the people usu-
ally do. They wait too long to do the
things that should receive immediate
attention, knowing all the time that
the best interests Of the community
are suffering from the delay.

ROosEvELT's BAD BREAK.

President Roosevelt has shattered
whatever hopes he might have had to-
wards building up a white Republican
party i'm the South, and at one swoop
has eliminated himself from the ranks
Of presidential possibilities in 1904, so
far as the South is concerned.
The President, in entertaining
Booker T. Washington, the negro
lecturer, at family dinner recent
ly, has wilfully insulted the woman
hood and manhood of this section of
the country, foolish Southern senti-
ment" though it may be called.
The Presidents appointment of ex-
Governor Jones, Of Alabama, to a Fed

encomiums from the people Of the
