Reflects Policy of Administration on
 Convict Matter.

Reflects Policy of Administration on
 Convict Matter.
 The Birmingham Age-Herald of yester- day had the following, which will be read with widespread interest:
 Just what will be the policy of the State administration in its future handling of the convict question continues as the fore most question in the Birmingham dis trict.
 In an interview yesterday, Dr. R. M. Cunningham, Lieutenant Governor-elect, reflected the policy of the administration and he heartily indorses thu same. The Governor sld State Beard seem impressed with the idea that, outside of humaui- tartan viewpoint in the way of decreasing the mortality rate among convicts in the mines, that the State can get largely h. creased revenues by working the convfcts UT der the direct supervision of the depart ment
 First-They seem to prefer to mine coal at an agreed price per ton.
 Second-To lease a coal mine and mine coal on It's own account.
 Third-To hire its convicts per capita, or per classification, per month to mine operators, the State maintaining, guard ing, controlling. etc, the convicts.
 In discussing what is considered very bold and independent stand assumed by the Governor Dr. Cunningham said:
 "The policy of Governor Jelks in revo- lutionixing the convict system is right in principle and correct in policy. It reduces the number of convicts to be worked in mines, thereby more equitably diversity ing the burden of competition with free labor It means that the State, and not the operators, will get the profits, thereby protecting the treasury. It means that convicts unfit for mine labor will not be worked in mines thereby reducing the sickness and mortality. Thus equity to free labor, the financial interests of the State, and what is of primary import ance. the interests of humanity, will be conserved.
 T ann rejoiced beyond expression that we have a man in the Governors once who has the patriotism to inspire the good sense to see and the courage to execute the proper methods for reform upon this great question. I am with him heart. mind and soul. and I look forward to no distant day when, under the policy of Governor Jelks, the State will go for ward in the march of progress that in- heres in the new conditions in Alabama wrought by the new Constitution"
 As is well known in Alabama, Dr. Gun nineham was a member of the State Sem ate during the term from 1S96-19oO. and at the session of 1S96-97 he made a fight for A bill recurring that the convicts be taken out of the mines and worked on practi- cally the same basis as is now prepared by Governor Jelks. Dr. Cunningham Is one of Governor Jelks's confidential friends. and it is known that he has been in conference with the Governor relative to the proposed change.

GEORGIA SYRUP.
A New Process For Making the Pure
 Article.

Article.
 Quitman (Ga) Free Press
 The Manufacturers Record Of Oct l6 has the following account Of Judge I'll mans application for new process for making sugar-cane syrup:
 Judge Joseph Tillman of Qultman, Ga, has applied to the United States Patent Office for letters patent on process known to him many years, and which he has tested on a large scale, for mak- ing perfectly pure sugar-cane syrup that cannot be excelled as a table syrup by any made in the known world The ats tractive feature of his process is that every grower of sugaT-cane can make pure syrup while cooking the juice from the sugar-mill without additional cost The growing of sugar cane will give the South a new impetus"
 The process referred to should prove invaluable to cane-growers at this time. The development of the syrup industry in South Georgia and Florida now IS of great importance aui, as has been an nounced already. :he Department of Az riculture will conduct experiments at Qurtman and other points this Fall to- cesses for making better syrup and thus enhancing the market value of the pro duct. Syrup in its pros mt crude state brings 25 and 30 cents. Properly made and attractively put up Tor the market, it viii Bring from 50 cents to $l. tarmers asily make 1000 gallons of syrup to the acre here and at 50 cents per gallon the profits would be excellent ,> ,,
 Judge Tillman's process IS salu 10 De very simple and, bringing 1t out just at this time, it will attract the attention or farmers and people who are really inter ested in improving the ~quanty ana Value of the syrup output
