 PUBLISHED STATEMENT.
sxatem of Thss state Earns More Money Than Tennesaee--May Hee- ouamend working State'a

Governor Jelks yesterday intimated that his message to the would suggest to the law makers that the next step towards the completi9,ni of inc con yict system so that It would confer its greatest nenents on shS h State would be the working of the States own coal mines bv the con N'SSs Tbe statement was made while tho Governor was answering an AdYertI- ser reporters questions as 10 an CT inEham Age Herald editorial. in the comparisOn of the returns from the Tennessee and the Alabama eonViets' in tnis editorial it was said:
 "Aiabana's convictg are earning good deal of money but the eonvicts pr Tennessee are doing even potter. The net profits of the conviets In Iennes- see in the last twelve months root ap TIe eonparison did an injustice 10 Alabama, and to the Alabama system, for as a matter of fact.

 returns from the Alabama convict hirr under the present system reached the hieh water mark. The State Treasury Tot from the convict department the biz sum of $3S4.000.
 At no time during the past three wears has the receipts in Alabama from convict hire dropped as low as the high water mark of Tennessee In the wear 1904, the State got S2S21zI. n the year of 1sO5 the receipts amounted
 Tha most startling figures, in con sidering the convict department, how eyer, IS the comparison of the re- ceipts for the six years In which ioy- ernor Jelks has bean in office and the recaipts for the previous six Vsars. During the past six years the ccnYlcta have paid into the Treasury $l,zOOOOp more than was paid during the pre- vious six years.
 The ge-Herald's editorial was sound on one proposition, however accord ing 10 the Governors view, the nossi- hiiity of increasing the States revenue by working the convicts in the States own coal mines. The greater part or fine article in question was devoted to arguIng the advlsAbility of adopting inc Tennessee plan, The Governor in" tin1ated that his message would carry such a recommendation.
