DECISIONS EFFECT HERE.
viii Result in The Dismissal of Two
Prosecutions.

The decision of the Supreme Court
declaring the law making it misde.
meanor for a husband to desert his
wife or father his children uncon-
stitutional, will have an effect on sew
eral cases now pending in the local
courts. There are at least two cases
now pending, those against Gus and
Richard Cockrell, charging wife de-
sertion, which will doubtless be dis
missed at the first opportunity.

The Face Of The
President.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. ia spe
cial from Washington to the Record
says: Though it was not mentioned
in the debate, the discovery of the
fact that President Roosevelt's barber
is carried ON the rolls of the Navy
Department at $1,000 a year, and that
Mrs. 'ROosevelt's private messenger
was on the rolls of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing at 5000 a year,
probably had good deal to do with
the fact that the proposition to in
crease the Presidents salary from
$4,000 to 100000 a year was held
up in the Senate on Friday last.
The information about the Presi-
dents barber and Mrs. Roosevelt's
messenger got over to the Senate
through the medium of cloak-room
gossip. After the House had COM
pleted the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill and sent it
over to the Senate, several members
of the House Appropriations Commit
tee complained that they learned the
facts about the Presidents barber too
late for them to cut the interesting
colored>s clerk out of his Federal
salary. 1t was not too late for the
Senate to act, however, and though
it had not yet taken any action with
direct reference to the barber and
the messenger, it has begun work for
the revision, if not the elimination, OF
the salary increase amendments put
In by the Senate's own committee.

to amend it so that such violations of

SIXTY CONVICTS
IN WORK HOUSE
ROLL OF THAT INSTITUTION CON-
TAINs MORE NAMES THAN EV.
Err BEFORE KNOWN.
SCARCITY OF WORK THE CAUSE
Prisoners Cannot Obtain Security As
Was Case When Phosphate Mines
Demanded Labor.

There are more prisoners in tn,
work house of Maury county toda!
than have been there in ten years
probably more than have ever beer
confined in that institution since i
was established in the county. Or
the roll this morning there we're just
sixty prisoners, of whom seven are
white and f1fty-three are colored. The
average for last year was less than
forty and it is probable that the aver.
age for several years past has not
been more than that number
The additions to the work house
roll have not come as the result of an
Increase of crime, but is due to the
suspension very largely of the phos-
phate mining of the county. When
the mines were running at full blast
and rock was in great demand the
operators were very slow to allow
their negroes to be sent to the work
house. Their services were too val
liable to be dispensed with and bonds
were executed and instead of the
fine being worked out on the county
roads it was worked out in the mines.
But all this is changed. A very large
majority of those who go to the work
house are common day laborers with
out property of any description. They
are out of employment and therefore
and costs. Hence it is necessary to
go to the work house and actually
work out the obligation to the county.
The weather for the past two weeks
has been such that it has seriously
interferred with the work of the hands
at the work house. Road building has
been practically out of the question
during that time. The hands have
been employed as much Of the time as
conditions would admit and they have
been used in cutting and hauling wood,
but the work has been very slow
Although the expenses of maintain
ing an institution of this character
are necessarily heavy, they are not
nearly as heavy as many people be-
lieve Last year it cost only $4,000 |
more 10 maintain the work house, |
including costs of guards, dynamite,
etc, for the building of
the roads, than it would have cost to
have kept the prisoners idle in the
county Jail Not only have they been
made to work and have therefore
1een more humanely treated
han they could have been
( kept confined in the narrow
limits of the Jail, but the roads that
lave been built-a repaired have
cost the county only the sum above
stated And the roads built by the
work house are of such an enduring
character that every mile of them is
worth $1,000.
