convlcts Are Given un.

It was announced today from the con- vict department that J. R. Clarke & Co.,. lessees of the state cotton factory, would surrender their lease at it's expiration within the next few days and the mill will again be idle.
 These lessees believed that by employ ing convict labor at very cheap price the mill could be made to pay big dividends but this proved untrue, as the labor was unskilled and in some instances rather rebellious. Only women, children and the inferior, infrm convicts were leased to the mill men. The state will for the present be taxed with the care of these convicts without their earning any tbing. It has not yet been decided what will be done with them. In the mills they were earning considerably more than vas required to support them. The mill Is located at Speigners. near Montgomery.

WaehInaton submIts Rsport.

Booker T. Washington today submitted his annual report to the board of trus- tees It is in part as follows:
 From the first it has been a part of the mission of athe Tuskegee institute to try and reach and help the coiored peo- pie in the country districts We have sought to do this in two ways. First, by encouraging the students from the rural districts to enter the school, and second by emphasizing Tn the school those branches of education that would natural ly keep the student at home and in sym pathy with agricultural life In carrying out our purpose I think we have been reasonably successful, as the number of our graduates or former students now at work in the country districts will tes- tify.
 There are several influences. however, that are constantly exerting themselves against the negro growing up on the soil at present. One of these is the lack of public school facilities in the country districts and the frequent and unwise az itation of the question about dividing the school fund in proportion to the taxes paid by each race.

Schools In Cities.

"In the cities and larger towns the negro parent finds comfortable schoolhouse, and a school in session eight or nine months, taught by a competent teacher. Moreover the negro knows that if per- chance he may be deprived of nearly all school facilities in the country In the city the various missionary agencies will keep a school open for his children eight or nine months. In the country as a rule the schoolhouse Is wretched, the teach CT poor and the term lasts only three to five months.
 If for no other reasons than these finan- cial ones, 1t would pay those who own the land In the south to see to 1t that good school Is kept open in every country district good school, in my opinion, would soon add 50 per cent to the price of farming lands, because 1t would stop in a large measure the exodus Of colored people to the cities. Another thing which sends 8 larger number of negroes to the cities than many realize is the surety of getting police protection in the city when one is charged with crime. l think I do not overstate the matter when 1 say that for every lynching or attempt at a lynching that takes place in the country, a score of colored people leave the coan- try for the city. This whole question is one that should receive very serious at tentiOn."

He should have said that several addi-

With these ward buildings erected and

be devoted mostly to high school Pur-
