Says t Is Blot on Fair Name

OPPOSES CONVICT SYSTEM
Poor, Unfortunate County Convict Is Living Monument to the Bad System Fostered B1
 the State.

Montgomery, November 17.--(specall-- In his report to the president of the convict board. sent in today Dr. Shirley Bragg, physician inspector of conyiets says:
 "The fee system, so far as the convict Is concerned, is a blot upon the fair name of the state. Men, women and children alike are made to feel It's whitening blast. It does not spare the old man tottering on the verge of the grave nor does 1t respect the child scarcely old enough to leave its mothers care Perhaps some day this will be changed and the county convict placed on the same plane with the state convict
 "The county convict system Is condemn ed. Many old decrepid men are sent to the convict camp he says that should be in the poor houses. but neighborhoods must be rid of beggars and officials have their fees if 1t takes the last drop of blood from suffering humanity
 Death Rate Ia Low.
 The conditions of the state conyicts are reporter good with the death rate low. Many oonvicts are received in poor condition and are sent to the hospta, where they either die or serve out their sentence. After expressing hope for the abolition of the county cont ict system. Dr. Bragg says:
 The poos unfortunate county convict remains as for years. His sufferings know no change. The convict board is powerless. to help him. In many instances he is the victim of circumstances and a living monument of a system fostered by the state. Speaking of the disposi- ton of outside parties to have the pris- cners moved from one camp to another and other interference, the report says: There is no prisoner in the penitentiary but who las my sympathy, but if these demands were acceded to there would be no discipline Punishment for crime would be q mockery and the criminal with outside influence, many times pur- chased, would revel In a life of cltnpars tive ease"
 Also the jails of the state are, as of old, and still furnish their full quota of sick. Many prisoners are received from them in pad condition and while some recover a large portion are permanent ly unfit fo- labor. In addition, the com mon corridors and open cell doors of the ordinary jails are the occasion of grave evils. The wicked and hardened criminal the corrupting and diseased tramp are often permitted to communicate freely with comparatively innocent boys"

James WlanaII Speaks.

At the hour set apart for listening to fraternal delegates from Great Britain and Canada, James Wignall of the former country was introduced and was given a great ovation.
 His speech aroused the delegates to high pitch of enthusiasm. He maintain cd that to be an ambassador of labor was a greater honor than to represent bis country on diplomatic mission. Speaking of the bonds between the two countries, i.e said
 ''The clasp of hands across the sea and the bonds of brotherhood which must come to the Anglo-Saxon family will come through the fraternalization of the toiling masses of the two countries
 When Wignall ceased speaking, he was cheered for seven minutes. William Abraham Mabon, member Of parliament was then introduced. Speaking of la bor organizations. he said:
 'T come C you as a representative of that class of unions whose main tenet holds that workers and capitalists are bound together as common producers of wealth Tn doing that, I am worker for peace. We are all apostles of peace in my country, but peace can never come until based on justice.
 Necessary to Capitalists.
 Labor organizations are as necessary to capitalists as to workers. The day of the individual employer is passed, and he has been supplanted by the great trusts So the day of the individual la borer has passed. The trusts in the nature of things, then, must deal with organized labor. Is 1t not unfair, then for the non-unionist to sneak into the union shop and reap the benefit of the expense, toll and endeavor of the men who have organized? Let us pray then. always for a peaceful solution of the great questions that confront us, but never peace at the cost of justice"
 John A. Flett, representative of the Dominion of Canada, addressed the con- vention and invited the delegates to hold their next annual meeting. commemorat- ing the quarter century of their existence, in the dominion of Canada. He com pared trade conditions in the two coun- tries. His. address was well received.
 At this stage of the proceedings a po- liceman entered the hall and placed all three of the foreign delegates under ar rest. This was used as a ruse to pre- sent each of them with a gold watch and gold badge in the name of the feder- alton. For time the Englishmen were completely nonpussed. but the joke took tremendously with the throne bresAnt.

THE MAN WITH THE HOE.

Markham's imagined man. leaning
hopeless and iinbruted upon the
hoe is a wrong conception ad lihe
on an implement that has earned more
honor than the sword. The hoe is mol
a badge of ignorance nor an object
for contempt. The whole bright busy
world with its innumerable intelligent
activities leans upon 1t. The man who
uses 1t to his own support and to sup
ply the needs Of others is at the foun-
dation OF common sense. aud common
sense Is the highest manifestation Of
Intelligent usefulness. We need poto-
toes more than poetry, and gardel
truck is more satisfying three times a
day than the Philistine. The expert

Right now in these piping times %

the man with the hoe, the city resi-

cabbages. his tomatoes turning GRIM
son on the sunny side the row of on
ions, the half dozen rows Of potatoes
and the little incidental truck that

evidence of his independence. If he

The gardening habit is one at once
healthful and profitable. A willing man
