CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVED

The fourth quarterly and annual re. port of 1905 combined was submitted yesterday to the Governor by Prest- dent J. M. Carmichael of the State Board of Convict Inspectors. The re- port has attached separate communica- tions of Dr. Shirley Bragg. Physician Inspector; Hon. Nj. w. Camper. Asso- ctate Inspector. and Rev. George E. Brewer, Chaplain of Convicts.
 Again the recapituiations of Judge carmichaefs report show great gains in the net earnings of the Department. They are attributed to the healthy in- fiuence of new contracts which are in force with coal mining corporations. manufacturers, stove and cordage man. ufacturers and farm owners. The new contracts began to take effect between January of this year and the present

 Condemns "Fee Brigade."
 Physician Inspector Bragg repeats his indictment Of the fee brigade" In Alabama in terms stronger than ever.

The drag-net has in many places been materially enlarged. Con- victions are being had on the most frivolous charges, and. In many. in- stances, the costs are very many times greater than the fines"
 The physician inspector also sounds q note of warning against. the preva- lence of the white plague" among the eonvicts.. He appeals for prompt ae- fort to make isolation hospital ar arrangements for the tubercular classes of fnvaIids in order that the infection might not spread further. He also ventures the opinion that nearly all of the convicts in Alabama. in the next generation. will be tubercnlar" There Is now one State convict hospital at wetumpka. but, in the opinion of pr. Bragg, it is insufhcient to meet the imperative sanitary demands of tuber- cuIosis.

 Curse of Fee Brigade.
 1 have nothing new to report in re- gard to the County convict system. but regret to say. that this curse of civil ization Is decidedly on the increase in Yict labor has duickened the alertness of the fee brigade. The drag-net has in many places been materially en- larged Convictions are being had on many instances, the costs are very many times greater than the fine. It seems to me, with all due deference to tho courts of our country, that little ing to the protection of the weak and defenceless part of our humanity. would subserve humanely the interest of the poor, ignorant and friendless part of the community. whicht bear the burdens to which reference Is already made, and from which neither women, children or imbecileS escape.
 No improvement has been made in tho tail system since my last report They are still killing their full quota, besides delivering to us many invalids while others are permanently disabled
 Isolated Hospital.
 As we have many tubercular patients, STeass ond wt5f of this disease among our T pris- on population, it is my opinion, that these cases should have a separate and isolated hospital, outside of. and ii is true, that they are now isolated ns much as possible, under present con ditions. but they should be removed Where they are now confined, no ex- uactorating is allowed, except in spit- icons provided for that purpose. and inc warden is instructed to strictly en- ipexpensive separate hospital built along modern sanitary lines betA great benefit to the convict. but the various treatments that would be instituted there and the records kept. would be o9 undoubted value to the whole State.

MT. Canper's Report.

MF. Campers Report.
 The statement of Inspector M. w. Camper is appended to the report as follows:
 Hon. j. M Carmichael,
 President of the Convict Board,
 Montgomery, Alabama. Dear Sir:
 I have the honor herewith to present to you the report of my work and ob- servation as Inpector of Convicts dur ing the past six months.
 The State has its convicts distributed among sixteen different contractors- two engaged in mining coal, five In the manufacture of lumber, four in the manufacture of turpentine, three in ag- riculture, one in the manufacture of stove ware and one in the manufacture Of cordaEe Besides these, the State has farms at three different points, in- cluding the Walls" at Wetumpka, the location of the hospital; and the cotton mill at Speigner where convicts at each place are under the immediate and di- rect control of this Board. through it's agents.
 I have visited these different points at various times during the past six months, though my chief attention has been directed to the camps near Mont gomery. and In the Southern part of the.

larger since they began to feel the iFi- fiuence of the new contracts, to which reference has been made heretofore. The net Income Is perhaps less than might have been supposed it would be upon casual consideration, but when 1t it remembered that the several new prisons established, have not fairly got ten upon their feet, and that those economic principles which must be ape piled to every business to make it suc- cessful, have not had fair application to the business at those points up to this time.
 may be permitted to express the hope, that the success of the Depart ment during the next year will be some- thing superior to what 1t has been dur. ing the past year, and I trust l may be pardoned for saying that the success of the Department for the past year is six times as great as any year in the pre- vious history of this Department, be- fore the beginning of the present od-

A new roof has been placed upon the cotton mill at Speigner, and other repairs have been made, which were necessary in the running of the mill. There have been expended in the construction of the roof, and in other part of the net proceeds during the last twelve months.

Financial Statement.

Having mentioned in this report all
 that was necessary, and perhaps more, it will not be amiss to indulge a few remarks In regard to the financial in- terests of the department, which, In good truth are very important. It will be remembered that a number of new contracts have been made, begin- ming to take effect about the 1st of January last. and on up to within the last few months. I, therefores take oc- casion to furnish the gross receipts per which will show the increase in re- ceipts, growing out of the new con- tracts. | may say, however, in this connection before going further that the new contracts have not only in- creased the gross receipts in the treas ury of the department. but have in- creased the expenses of the department, if falling upon the department to feed, clothe, shoe, medicate and generally to care for the convicts in a number of the prisons of the department These expenses, l may say, I think, have been heavier while we have been get ting things In proper shape than they will be at any time hereafter. A num- Der of items of expenses in setting up the camps and furnishing them with such things as we have to furnish them with. were heavy, but will, think. as we become accustomed to the manage ment of these things become lighter.
 The following shows the gross re- ceipts. beginning September lst, 1904, and closing with August 31st. 1905, to-

Leveeing Farm No. 1.

1t will be remembered 3hat some time during last year the question of ieveeing. certain portions of the farm at No. was discussed, but nothing substantial and practical was eyer done until the present year. Within the last few days a leyee has been constructed across the worst inlet to the plantation, and another one still across the next worse Is under course of construction. and in 2 short time, within the next twenty days perhaps, everything along that line can be done, and will be done. Providence permit ting, to improve the condition of the farm. Many persons doubt the pro- priety of the step. and 1t Is conceded that 1t is an experiment, but one which ought. perhaps, to have been tried long years ago. But, however that may be, it is now being tried with the impression that good results will follow.
 The lands at No. {, are so exceeding ly valuable. that 1t is not at all cer- tain that the whole place might be suc- cessfuIly leveed so as to keep the water out In any ordinary freshet, but at any time whatever. If this were done, and l am inclined to think that 1t can be done, mo more valuable place could be found in the State of Alabama.
