RECORD PRICE FOR coNvIcTs.
Alabama Gets $45.25 Per Month Each
for 175 Of Her Wards.

The making of a contract for It's
conv;ets at $45.25 each per month,
which has been closed by the state OF
Alabama, sets new pace in the mat
ter of service on the part Of the wards
Of the commonwealth, while it serves
to indicate the great demand for re-
liable labor on the part Of the indus
tries of the section. The contract was
with the Henderson-Boyd Lumber
company at Richburg. There was one
bid of exactly the same amount, but
for 100 men instead Of 175.
The best contract other than this
one was that made with the Hand
Lumber company at Bay Minette, some
days ago, for S43, up to that time the
most remuneraJiye ever made. 1t was
for 100 men.
There is a bad shortage of labor
with the lumber mills at this time,
caused by the farming people rushing
back to the farms for the spring plant

cages, the horses are hitched up, four
to each den or cage, and across coun-
try, accompanied by a route finder, the
menagerie, making up the first main
section Of the show, starts in the wake
Of the cookhouse.
This route finder Is an important per-
sonage in the circus; 1t Is his business
to scout ahead, ascertain the best
roads, and by laying laths down at the
Intersections and Emergencies disclose
the route to the wagons that follow
him.
The menagerie section comes up to the
cook tent some time during the night
and camps until morning.
At - o'clock, as rule, the baggage
train takes up its start. The big show
is over, the tent has been struck, the
stakes have been pulled, the parapher

They are sleeping the sleep of the

That is one reason why the average
circus performers would rather travel
with a wagon show than railroad
show. After the night performance of
railroad show. he or she must wend
their weary way to the train. hunt for
it in an interminable tangle of tracks
and seek what repose they can in
crowded hunks as the car is switched
around or pounds over the rails. But
in the big wagon show, the perform
ers go to hotels. get a good nights rest
in bed and sleep soundly until the
next morning.
At $50 O'Clock the musicians and
performers are routed out of bed; at 6
o'clock they have breakfast at the no.
tel, and n half hour later the third
section of the show takes up its jour-
sney, the band wagon In the lead, and
