 Tell of uel1gIoas Spirit

That the religious inclination of the State convicts Is growing more and more every year is attested by the voluntary letters written often to the State chaplain. Rev. George F. Brewer who, yesterday felt encouraged to get q letter froSn convict in the walls" ct wetumpka, acknowledging the good influence that Sunday services are hav- ing in the camps.
 This corvict's name Is Oscar H. Mann. Mann Is regarded as something of a good observer. and what he con- ciudes about the striped men in the walls may be taken to apply pretty xeneraliy throughout the chain of camps over the entire State. If there Is a moral improvement to be noted in the convicts at wetumpka there is a strong probability that there is i'm provement elsewhere. The Walls Is typical of the camps. For worte or for better.
