YOU
The One Now Reading this Article.

ROADS AND CONVICTS.

All over the whole country to-day
the subject of good roads and better
roads is occupying the attention of
the people, and in the South espe-
cially Is this subject receiving more
thoughtful consideration now than at
any time in the past. And it is well
that IT is. In no other respect Is the
South so far behind the times as in
ThC matter Of public highways. When
some thorough, systematic and eco
nomiC mode of building permanent
roads h;S been devised and adopted
IN the So"th 0uT section will forge
forward in material prosperity at Il
much greater rate than it has in the
past. We do not claim that good
roads are all that is needed to Sc
cure prosperity. but they will go far
coward bringing it, for good roads
are essential to all agricultural and
manufacturing sections The South
is primarily an agricultural section.
yet We AZ" fast becoming recognized
as manufacturing section also. and
the two industries make good roads
an absolute necessity.
Oconcc county needs better roads.
!, better system Of road building, and
we must have both. Year after year
our officials have done the best they
could with the means at their COM
mand and under a system thai has
proven unsuccessful, inadequate to
our needs and wofully expensive
1t strikes us that the best method
TO adopt is the convict lease system,
operated in connection with improv-
cd road building machinery and the
rock pile. With convlcts leased from
the State each county can work a
sufficient squad of the States crimi-
mails on the public highways for 313
days each year-that is, every day in
thc year except Sundays. To do this.
however, the rock pile is an absolut~
necessity, as the breaking of rock Coz
road building can be done under shell
ter when the weather prevents actual
work on the roads. BY this system
the bad weather is utilized in furn-
ishing good material for permanent
roads, no time is lost, and the maxi
mum OF service is gotten out of a
class that is otherwise a burden to
the State.
We do not believe there is any
place so well suited to convict labor
as the public highways. AS mat
ter OF TACT, as we sec 1t, convictS are
entirely out of place wherever they
come into competition with free
labor. They are out of piece on the
state farm as producers In cOmpeti-
tion with the honest labor of the
farmer; they are out of place leased
to farmers in competition with free
farm labor, and their labor in the
manufacture OF any article save
that for their own maintenance is
wrong. Their proper place is on the
public roads OF the country, where
whatever their enforced labor may
hc worth is distributed for the good
OF the general public.
We believe If this system of con-
Wet lease from the State to the vari-
GUS counties can be perfected and
SyStomatiZed that it will be found Of
1t is worked with good results in
states North and East and there is
no reason why il should not be car
ried out with good results here
We are opposed to the lease OF
"onvicts to individuals for any pur-
pose, but there are hundreds Of arg,l-
mentS favorable to the lease Of the
state cOnViCtS to the counties

The girl is unaware of the fact that

line and that her property will be
needed for that purpose
Martin Drury, capitalist, and
Franklin Royce, his tool, and also
the pretended admirer of Beth, know
property and they plot to buy it when
it is put up for sale.
Beth tells Blake about, her property

game, learns from Royce the scheme
to bid in Beth's land, and he decides
to be the first person on hand at the

the purchaser, Royce goes to Beth and
Blake by making her believe that
E, axe has acquired her land for the
purpose of selling it to the railroad
company at a large advance in price.
He advises her that there is still
chance to save her property because
a tax deed does not become valid for
six months. Drury and Royce then

the land. She is on the point Of ac-

scene. Blake tries to explain, bu,
