Board Of Control Upheld.

The Supreme Court on Mon
day handed down a decision in
the now famous Sandy Bayou
case which declares that the con-
tract made to work the farm
with those conyicts which are
now upon the place is a valid
contract and not in violation Of
any of the laws upon the statute
books relating to working or
leasing convicts. The injunction
suit of Governor Vardaman was
dismissed and the opinion of
Chancellor Mayes reversed.
The purpose of the injunction
suit instituted by the Governor
was to annul a contract which
had been made by the Board of
Control for the working of GER
tain convicts on the Sandy Bayou
farm, the property of H. j. Nc
Laurin, the convicts numbering
about seventy-fve negro men.
The reason assigned by the Board
of Control for a continuation of
the contract is strictly a business
one; that there has been no pre-
paration made to remove them to
the state farm, and if removed
there, that there was not suffi-
Gent land open to employ their
time; that the progress made in
opening up the lands on the state
farm had been in keeping with
usual custom in clearing up land
and all possible haste had been
made to get the place ready for
all able bodied convicts. The
seventy-fve convicts which are
employed on the Sandy Bayou
place are the most profitable con-
victs worked by the State; they
are well cared for and healthy
and receive that humane treat
ment which has characterized
the policy of the State for so
many years.

To Brother Publishers in Beha II
of the LOST Oh Id Of DR.. BY
ers, OF seeIeyviIle, Ind.
If the editor of every paper in
the central west will republish
these lines there is no question
but what DR.. S. L.. Byers, of See
leyville, Ind. will recover his lit
tie son who was stolen from his
home one year ago last May. DR..
Byers has spent his entire re-
sources in in search for his child
and unless the big hearted men,
bers of the press come to his as
sistance his son will grow up an
outlaw and an outcast among the
lowest people of the earth. It is
a cause that should appeal to ev-
eryone and no father reading
these lines can do so without a
quickening of the heart and a
sympathetic throb. 1t is believed
that if this article is reprinted
in the newspapers it will form
an endlsss chain that will uncov-
err the lost boys concealment and
return him to his distracted pa
rents. In doing this the profess
sion of journalism will be fulfill
ing one of it's highest destinies.
Publishers whose calculations
touch the Wabash, Ohio, and Mis-
sissippi valleys are especially re-
quested to reproduce this story
of the lost child, as DR.. Byers
believes his boy is now on some
houseboat waiting to take the
road in the Spring. There is a
reward of $500 awaiting any in
formation that will lead to the
boys recovery. No questions
will be asked and if the abductor
himself would deliver the boy to
his parents he would not be mo-
Tested. The bereaved parents are
heart broken with grief and want
only their child. If each journal
will reprint these lines, they will
travel to every exchange table
in the United States and bring
back to a wretchcd home a child
who is now no doubt suffering
with cold, unfed and wretched
to a degree. Think of what your
own feelings would be under
similar circumstances! This ap-
peal is indicted originally by a
publisher who saw DR.. Byers on
ly once, has no personal interest
in his quest other than the bond
OF sympathy that makes the
world akin, and is inspired by
the belief that the lost boy can
only be found through the united
effort of the country press of
which he is proud to be a mem
Der. His recovery will be a tri-
umph in advertising and no edi-
tor whose heart is placed right
will refuse this appeal. Remem-
Der, it may be your child next!
The following is a description
of the lost boy:
DESCRIPTION
Richmond Byers, if alive. was
6 years old last July, is of light
complexion, has gray eyes, left
eye noticeably crossed, has a
small V shaped nick in the edge
of the left ear, has a sharp chin
and a narrow, projecting fore
head. He is rather small for his
age and is unusually bright and
intelligent, taking after the man
ner of a boy much older.
DR.. Byers has searched among
the rowing bands that frequent
the United States and believes
that his son can be found among
travelling junk dealers, so-called
horse traders or movers. He does
not think the boy was stolen by
genuine gypsies. He thinks he
was taken by a wandering band
that used him for the purpose OF
begging in the towns along the
route.
