The association adopted constitu-
ii! u 1t also adopted a scheme sub
mitted ty the secretary for the CT
gan'z ,tion OF branch county associa.
tions, for which constitution was
also prescribed; copies Of this plan fo1
organization will be supplied to any
counties which may apply for it.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
BE it resolved, That this associa-
tion mem orialize the general assembly
to provide that all State convicts, not
under sentence for life, shall be sub
ject to hire by the respective counties
of this State for service in the con-
struction and the maintenance Of the
public highways. This prayer is pre-
dicted on the fact that the number OF
conyicts available in some cvu1t ties is
too small to be economically guarded,
maintained and operated, and on the
further fact the free labor available
for road purposes is inefficient, un-
satisfactory and FIR more expensive
t:1an the cost OF the operation Of the
proper sized chaingang for any re.
Qhired work.

day. He predicated the character OF
a people on the character Of its &C
cepted heroes.
Senator Latimer followed Judge
Warnock and made a forceful presen

fer federal aid for road builing.
