The prison board of trustees may
abandon the trusty system at the Ran
kin state convict farm. Fifteen lris-
oners of this class have taken French
leave from the farm within the past five
months, which forces the conclusion
that less confidence al be placed in
white TRUSTEES than the negro prisoners
who are used in this capacity on other
farms. The abandonment of the trusty
system will involve a considerable in
crease in prison expenses. as 1t will be
necessary to fill their places with hired
