It would do even better, as with the workings by the state the returns would
 be such as to give money to pay all the
 fees in the counties in cash, where they
 are now paid in scrip. In a conversa-
 ton this week Dr. Shirley Bragg, presi-
 dent of the state board of convict in-
 spectors said as he has said many times before that the county system of work Ing eonvicts Is a stench in the nostrils
 of decent men and should never be al-
 lowed to exist He had tried he con
 tinued for years to get it abolished. but
 had failed However. it had been made
 plain lately that the next legislature will
 have it's eyes opened and will no doubt kill the plan. In the opinion of Dr. Bragg the state should have charge of all the eonvicts, so that they can be secured 1 the treatment they deserve. He is quite sure that they are under fed at times
 and not infrequently severely whipped. Schools and Soldiers.
 l The doctor did not refrain from say ing that the surplus in the treasury l should be used for the school children of the state. True it may not be a legal 1 surplus, but it is an actual surplus, and
 the amount will remain about the same ! the year around. He thought that it would i be poor businerr man who would tie 1 up a million dollars in the vaults to be
 used year hence and lose all the benefits ! of the amount. especially when as much l Is coming in as will be needed to do the . duty it is assigned 10 year hence. This 1 money ought to be spent in giving the 1 state a system of schools for the coun- try districts now badly needed. He also urged the care of the old soldiers of the state. In this he is falling on to a l popular line of talk. as well as what is generally termed a just one. The men who went to the war of the sixties are | now more than ever the tender care of the younger generations, and the sentiment in favor of making them comfortable is well established. The fact Is, there is growing up feeling that there should be
 no more general reunions and that all the money that can be gathered be spent in making these old heroes happy at the end of their lives.

CUNNINGHAM lNJECTS NEW
 ISSUES INTO CAMPAIGN
BY HERvEY W. LAIRD.

Montgomery, April 5.-6Special.) )-One of the distinctive features of the address of Dr. R. M, Cunningham at the court house last night was the frequent ref erence to matters of important moment to the state outside of the rate ques- tion. Particularly noticea ble was his ln- terest in the convict question: especially timely because of the renewed agitation for a better condition of affairs so far as county prisoners are concerned. He is a great believer in the betterment of the common schools and would give to them all the money that is held up in any the end of the year.
 He would also give as much as possible to the care of the old soldiers and seek for white blood of good name and promise in those who come to the South as im- migrants. He does not believe that the negro promises anything in the way of citizenship and thinks that white labor I should be gotten in to take the places they refuse to occupy. He advocates the still further development of the convict system by the state working it's con
 
 the state schools and removing them as much as possible from competition with free labor.
 Convict Question.
 The convict department, the doctor ar gues. is one of the greatest importance and responsibility. It is the machinery by which citizens of the state are deprived of their liberties and should be watched with care and caution It has three dis tinct features: Humanity. revenue and relation to free labor The state ought to see that every safeguard is thrown about the prisoners it takes from the walks of the outside. It has no right by the fail ure to provide good sanitary conditions, to murder a man in the serving of sentence. The convicts should be made to pay their way and much more. II is not right that honest men should be taxed to support the dishonest, and where the human side Is well taken care of it is correct that the wards of the state should earn as much as they can. not to interfere with the rights of free men. They should not be put at any one kind Of labor to the detriment of the men who make a living by that labor There ought to be a limit to the number in the mines. in the saw mills and in other industries. He goes even further than that and says that the lands of the State Uni versty and the Girls school at Monte- vallo. filled with coal, should be worked by the state giving thereby. the entire profit to the state and the royalties to the schools. increasing their ability to educate the children of the state County convicts.
 The doctor reiterated his opposition to the county convict system, and comes along just as there Is a great lot of talk about the treatment of convicts of this class by at least one of the large employ ing corporations. His idea is that the convicts should all be under the care of the state board and that the legislature prorate back to the counties such share of the receipts as they are entitled to in the distribution of the returns. This would do away with the idea that in taking them from the counties they would deprive the county officers of their fees.
