Convict Revenues

Convicts sent to Wetumpka when sick should be strictly under the control of the physician inspector of the convict department of the state, according to Dr. w. A. Burns, the present physician in- spector. Suggestion to this effect is made in the quadrennial report of J. Craig Smith, which has been made to the gov ernor, and copies of which have just been received from the printer. The report which has been partially published, is the one which shows net profit of $1.706,- G95S7 to the state from the operations of the convict department, under the able management of J. Craig Smith, president of the board of inspectors.
 Another recommendation of the depart ment is that the convict workers in cot ton mills should not be kept at their tasks longer than 10 hours each day, q change which would deny the state two hours of work from each mill worker. Long hours in cotton mills are declared by Dr. Burns to be detrimental to health
 Recommendation is made that tuber- cular hospital for convicts, separate and apart from any prison, is necessary and essential for the treatment of patients Shower baths at Speigners and We tumpka are declared to be necessary. A central place for detention of all pris- oners received rom jail is earnestly advo- cated.
 The report shows in detail an itemized list of the receipts for the four years, the aggregate of which was S3975,76S .03 Aggregate disbursements amounted to $2, 269, 072 .16

Applicants for RussellvilIe PostOffice Job Will Contest Appointment of
 Chenault-Other News

Russellville, December 15.-(Special)-A big fight will be made by the defeated applicants for the Russellville post office against the confirmation of the ap- pointment of William L. Chenault, which has been announced by the postoffce de- partment. A large number of telegrams have been sent to Senators Joseph H. Johnson and John H. Bankhead, and 1t Is thought that if a strong fight is made the confirmation will be held up for the present at least
 This Is good paying office and the prominent republicans do not like the idea of giving the office to one man without some consultation with the other members of the party. Several have laid claims to the office saying that their work and efforts in behalf of the better ment of the party in Franklin county Justify their appointment. But while this fight is at it's height it seems that Che nault has an extra strong pull for the office. Being associated with the Thomp- son wing of the republican party and recognizing the dictatorship of Joseph o. Thompson when an office for the party was the plum, MT. Chenault made a spe- cial effort to receive this indorsement. IL is freely predicted that Chenault will hold the office even If a fight is made.
 Tuesday night at the regular session of the Russellvile city council the license schedule for the year 1911 was agreed upon. Practically the only changes that were made was the raising of the privi-
