TALKS OF PEONAGE
GOVERNOR THINKS THE STATE
 SHOULD HAVE NEW LAWS.
Hopes That Legislature Will Provide for State Control of County Con- victs--More Indictments
 by Grand Jury.

In an interview given out yesterday Govern or Jelks exprersed the. hope that the Alabama Legislature before adjourning in the Autumn would adopt recommendations in his annual message that county convicts be leased under the absolute control of the stato and that the powers of Justice of the Peace be further re- stricted in msdemeanor cases.
 The Governor believes that with the adop- ton of these statutes the alleged conditions of peonage said to exist in Coosa and Tallapoosa Counties could be better reached by State au- thorities if not stamped cut altogether.
 It will be remembered that at the time the State convicts leased to coal mines were taken in charge by the State 1t was stated that It the ultimate purpose of the administration to bring county convicts under State control.
 ''It is an anomalous condition" said Govern or JAiks. when penal convicts are treated bet ter than misdemeanor convicts. convicts sent up for small offenses from counties. But 1t is a fact The State looks carefully after its convicts At least I,2oo of the 1900 State cenvicts are directly under the care and su- pervision of the State. The State has its own physicians and those physicians determine every day whether any convict shall be worked. and if worked how and where. If he is sick and unable to work, he is not forced to work and his food is carefully looked after. as is the sanitation of the prison, which is regarded as of prime importance to his health and com fort I hope by the time my term of office expires that the State will have every one of 1t, convicts under it's own control and care, as we now have those we are working in the mines.
 T understand that farming with cOnvicts has been profitable. but therc are other things convicts can be put to doing at which they can be worked proftably. I think t terrible that county convlcts should be taken out of county jais, where they have been confined for months in close cells and with surround ing unsanitary conditions where they rave been made weak by confinement and sent directly to coal mines and put to regular hard work which only the ablest and healthiest convict CT man can work.
 ''The State selects out of its convicts cnly ablest bodied men to put in the mines, not more than one in every three being selected and when we consider that the State convicts arc generally strong country negroes, who have been used to working in the fields. and the county convicts are generally those about the towns, convicted on some slight misde meanors, and naturally weak and in pool health, we may readily see the harm that will result to their health.
 T hope the Legislature will do something to remedy the evils and especially ss t0 the limitation of the power of the Justices of the Peace to hire convicts. The abuses under the present system should be made impossible"

HE KEPT NO RECORD SHERIFF OF CHoCTAw MADE ER-
 RORS IN OFFICE. Examiner Reports to Governor That MT. Gavin Failed to Record Feed
 of Prisoners--other Reports Filed.

In his report to Governor Jelks upon the officials of Choctaw County, Assistant Ex- aminer of Public Accounts George F. Sed- berry charges ex-Sheriff George A. Gavin with S332. 40, because he kept no proper rec ord of the prisoner he fed.
 The report does not allege that ex-Sherif Garvin improperly collected fees from the State for feeding prisoners. The sheriff. how ever, ignored the law which required him to keep a proper record of all prisoners fed by him The examiner in his report said that this money for the feeding of prisoners had been illegally collected. He had therefore charged the total amount to the sheriff. aggregating S332 40.
 The Examiner found that Tax Collector T. A. Littlepage was duo the State Sl l.42 for errors in reporting escaped taxes. Collector Littlepage, Mir. Sedberry reported. had prcm- ised to remit that amount. With the txcep- tion of this error, MT. Sedberry reported tEat Collector Littlepage's books were correct.
 The Examiner found that former Tax Col lector II. A Hendrix had made the same error. In the case of Mir. Hendrix the escaped tax error amounted to only S7.42. This amount the Examiner thought would be paid.
