requests from lawmakers that certain
subjects be recommended for oonsi-
deration by the lawmakers.
\ recent communication Of this
nature IS from the Biloxi CONNER
cial Club enclosing a resolution ad-
opted by that body suggesting that
the surplus convict labor Of the state
be used on the public roads. and ask
ing that the Governor make a thor
ough investigation OF the subject, to
make such recommendation to the
legislature as he may deem proper.
While the Governor is an ardent
advocate of good roads, it is very
doubtful whether he will deem it ex-
pedient TO use the states convicts
or any portion of them, in work Of
this character. The state has nearly
three million dollars invested in her
convict farming system, which
brings in handsome revenue to the
treasury each year, and the working
of the entire body of convicts on
public highways would OF course
necessitatc the Abandonment OF this
system while the surplus convict la
