Representative Hawkins of Warrem
Will introduce Bill In the
Legislature.

Special to The Netos.
Vicksburg, Miss, Dec. 27.-Repre-
sentative Geo. r. Hawkins, Of Warren
county, announces that he intends to
introduce a bill in the coming legis-
lature, in which he will ask that some
nominal amount, possibly five or ten
cents per day, be allowed to prisoners
who are serving as convicts to the
state.
MIR. Hawkins says the plan is in OPP
Grafton in other states and in its advo-
cacy he holds that the moral effect of
letting a prisoner out after years of
service, with some coin to his credit.
will be to give a better fitizen to the
world, than to turn him out penniless
as is now very often the case. Nj,
Hawkins says it has been an acknowl-
edged fact that the average convict
who has served his term, comes out
Of prison a better man, and that it
should be the policy to aid these per-
sons who come out into an active life
again. They can, with the money
earned in prison, he says, make fair
ly decent start, whereas it is now the
| case that many of them have scarcely
sufficient money to take the stripes
of their backs when they have served
out their time.
