improvements in the department will take
place all along the line.
Hon. Shirley Bragg, physician inspector
of convicts for the state of Alabama, has
been quite unwel for more than six
weeks, and has not, therefore, been able
physically, to prepare the report from his
standpoint, which it is very much desired
should appear in these pages.
His views of health and sanitation con-
tions would be very much more satisfac-
tory than could possibly be obtained 9TH
erwise. 1t is yet to be hoped, and be-
lieved, that his health will so improve In
very few days as that he can make the
report without detriment to his well be-
ing. If, however his health should con-
tinue so feeble that he is unable to make
the report within the next ten days, this
explanation of its absence in these pages
WILL it is trusted, be sufficient.
Subordinate Officials.

without acknowledging the obligation Of
the inspectors to f. X. Bunkley. S. D.

than we reasonably expected from the be-
ginning. l attach hereto an exhibit pre-
dicted upon the information furnished by
r. c. Jelks, Esq. the bookkeeper for the
mines at Pratt City, Ala. This exhibit
may not be absolutely accurate, but 1t is
approximately so, and shows a result
of our operations there very great gain
in money over the former plan of hiring
convicts to the mine operators.
The experience of the inspectors in car
rying forward this business under the
present arrangement makes the impress
sion that 1t is only a question of time
when the state, through this department.
will be operating mines of its own, or
such as may be leased from the univer-
sity of the Girls Industrial school, or
some person or corporation. That it can
be done with abundant success there can
be no question.
The convicts, under the new arrange
ment, have Jared very much better, be-
cause as soon as it is ascertained that
one is run down at mine work he Is re-
moved to some other point. where he may
recuperate and regain his strength.
Religious instruction.
The haplain-in-chief Rev. George e.
Brewer, has given continual attention to
visiting the different prisons, where he
has preached and given instruction, and
in a general way superintended the pro-
curement and distribution of religious and
improving literature.
Rev. J. j. ID. Hall. chaplain at Pratt
and Flat 1cp mines, has been engaged
since the spring of this year in preaching
and general moral and religious instruc-
ton at the two places named. number
of other chaplains at the different points
have been engaged in preaching to the
convicts AZ stated periods. The reports
of the two chaplains are hereto attached.
and asked to be referred to for informa-
ton along moral and religious lines.
While we are doing some work in that
direction, cabdor compels me to say that
/ fear our success has not been very
great. Considerable numbers, however,
are giving attention to moral and relig-
ious instructions, and as an evidence OF
their earnestness their general conduct
and behavior have been reasonably good

A disposition to indulge in games OF

convicts. They indulge in this perni-

every interest, and every possible means

Continuing until Saturday, November 9Th, we will
hold Corset Demonstration in the Department
Demonstrations, rule, are merely to demonstrate
that some particular corset is better than all others-that
really is not demonstration at least that should not be the
spirit of demonstration. demonstration proper should
be the demonstrating of the different styles they are
adapted to women no matter what their physical diosyn-
craSies may be.
A demonstration of the Kabo is bound to be sue

style OF figure, and to contribute to the positive success
OF the demonstration there will be charge an expert cor
Setefe-the best corset woman in the business so they
say You are cordially invited to come and talk over your
corset troubles to her.
There are many things to be learned about proper
corset fitting that regardless of whether you are interested
particularly in the Kabo, it makes no difference You
certainly must be interested in proper corset fitting and
these grounds you are invited to the demonstration
1t may not be amiss to state right here that the Kabo
corset was awarded the highest prize at the St Louis

We endeavor to throw such restraints
around them as to reduce the evil as
much as possible, but conditions in rela-
ton to that particular thing are far
from satisfactory.
County Convict System.
This system is a continual grief to ev-
cry humane man having a knowledge of
the evils attending it. I am informed
that it is not known In but few states,
Alabama among them, and 1 am of opin-
Ion that it should not be known any
Where Everything pertaining to 1t
ought, in my opinion, be wiped out of
existence by an act of the legislature
This can only be brought about by a
public sentiment, which will influence
members of the legislature, and induce
the repeal of all laws having any refer
ence to the present system as it now ex-
lists.
That this system is largely kept up by
a desire for fees is to my mind too pat
ent to admit of discussion. Hundreds
and hundreds of persons are taken be-
fore the inferior courts of the country.
tried and sentenced to hard labor for
the county, who would never be arrested
but for the matter of fees involved. This
Is condition inexcusable, not to say
shameful
The state inspectors of the penitentiary
system have already sufficient to do. and
are not counting an additional amount of
labor by that which follows, but are sim
ply speaking a few words in behalf OF
common humanity.
The state, as q sovereign. owes it to the
law-abiding citnzens In one way or an
other to restrain evildoers, and when
rx..1 hf1r
should always be willing to assume and
ready and able to carry. If all persons
convicted of crime were placed In the
penitentiary, so to speak, they could be
much better cared for, and their lives ana
well-being more successfully preserved
That this would impose an additional Dur
den which ought to be carried by the
state in the interest of proper treatment
of poor, defenseless creatures many OF
whom never ought to be arrested and
tried at all. Large numbers of these people
are arrested and carried before the
courts and convicted and sent to the coal
mines and lumber camps who are unable
to do, successfully any kind of work
They there drag out a miserable existence
and die. Some one is responsible for their
death.
Suppose our judges generally, following
the example of Hon N b. Feagin of the
police court of Birmingham, should adopt
the method of releasing persons brought
before them, and putting them In the
charge of some one with the understand
ing and condition that If they behaved
we'll they should not be brought before
the court again. yet holding the sentence
against them, how many hundreds of poor
unfortunates would thus escape a miser-
able death In some coal mine or lumber
camp.
Whenever the legislature eonvenes again
| trust the importance of these sugges-
lions. or others along the same line, much
more wisely put, will be impressed upon
the minds of the members In such way
that they will shoulder the responsibility
of looking after the interest of these I'M
fortunate people.
