CLEAN OUT THE JAIL
BIG BUNCH OF PRISONERS TO
 LEAVE AT ONCE.
Their Presence Has Delayed Contract ors on New Structure. Which will He One of Finest in Country-
 When COmnleted.

There will be a general cleaning out of the county jail during the next few days, when prisoners sentenced will be sent to the different convict farms and put to work.
 Judge Thomas. in the criminal dt- vision of the City Court. sentenced ffty-lour prisoners for terms of inl- prisonment ranging from twenty years to 109 days.
 Nearly all of these criminals ware sent up on felony charges, and will serve their time at hard labor
 Eleven men will be sent today to W. o. Roberts convict farm No. [.
 Matt Galloway. John Hudson and Frank Queen. each of whom were sen. fenced for a year and a day. will go to the Queen farm.
 Light men will be sent tomorrow to Speigners. ..
 He l laboy men will be sent to Flat Top. There are twelve of these and thirteen other prisoners. who will be sent to Dolive. Ala, to work for a lumber company. The Central Coal and Iron Company will get others sen- fenced.
 Sheriff Belser Is not sorry to lose this batch of prisoners, on account of the condition of the jail. Work on >the jail has been delayed on account Of the inability of the contractors to secure materials for construction.
 Under present conditions, with re- pairs under way, Jailer Pettus has been in constant fear that some ot the more desperate criminals might escape.
 Every effort is being made to com plete the Jail as rapidly as possible, and the chances are that tho work will be finished June 15.
 The contractors. who were under contract to finish the building by Dec. 1, under a penalty of paying s25 O day if 1t were not completed by that time. appeared before the Board Of Revenue and asked for Ieniency. The Board adjudged that the contractors were. not altogether at fault and in all probability no action will be taken because of the delay.
 The new jail, when completed. will be one of the best arranged prisons in the country. In the entire building there will not be piece of wood. In every respect 1t will be fireproof. as concrete. steel and iron are used tn the construction.
