 The old penitentiary at Wetumpka is used as hospital for diseased and in competent convicts. The most humane conditions in all departments are main- tained Every effort is made to have the food sufficient, palatable. variable and sanitary Comfortable bedding and sleep Ing apartments are maintained.
 There has been complaint that the con- vjcts should not be worked in the mines because of competition with the labor in the mineral sections. The same com plaint is also made that they should not be worked in cotton mills because of the competition with both the labor and the products of the cotton mills of the state. and also in the sawmils because of the competition with the labor and the same reason might be applied for the farms. Wherever labor strikes lick in produc- tive work there is competition with other labor and the labor on the farms, saw mills etc., should have the same con- sideration as any other labor.

Railroads and Methods of Federal Courts Are Very Harshly Handled-Fuly Explains and Defends His Dealings With the Liquor Question-Plea Runs Through Document For Better Protection

Montgomery, January u.-(Special)- Maledictions are hurled upon the heads of railroads, and methods of certain fed cral courts are looked at askance in the message of Gov. B. B. Conner, which was today read to the Alabama legislature immediately upon it's convocation. The message is the last to be delivered by the retiring chief executive of this state, who on. next Monday gives way to Governor elect Emmet O'Neal.
 While the message of the outgoing ex- ecutive is comprehensive one, the ma jority of It deals with routine matters with the single exception of the status Of the state vs. railroads, and with the ex- ception of what the governor has to say concerning local option. Regarding the latter matter only three printed pages

PardOns

The pardonng power is one oothe most important and most trying of the gover- nor's duties The ordeal of denying a husband and father, evidently their main stay and support, to the wife and chill dren, or son to his father and mother, forms a severe test for a sympathetic na- ture. Unquestionably have released some who had not fully expiated their of fense against the law. In but few cases I have thought that justice had mis- carried or that the sentence was too se- were.
 I have gone with the board of pardons to some of the larger prisons and have had reports from others, and In these in- yestigations I have found prisoners who have longtime sentences, end who chad served 15 to 20 years, and maintained a record for good conduct. Yet, they have been so long in the service of the state that in the old home life and among old home friends they have practically been forgotten In reviewing pardon cases I feel sure that mistakes have been made on the side of mercy, yet in many in- stances the released prisoner has made a good citizen and is doing well. While in many instances have not followed the recommendation of the board nor the ad- vice of the trial judge and solicitor.

At the beginning of the labor strike that occurred in our mineral district in 1 908 there was an unfortunate disposi- tion to violate the law. I am thankful that the strike was settled and I con gratulate all parties concerned upon the wisdom of that settlement, and on the improved conditions and the restor- ation of the price of labor in the Bir- mingham district. All labor in that district is now employed and there is demand for more. The conditions of labor are greatly improved and the business and property of the mineral district, secure within the law, has an outlook of harmony and peace and prosperity for many years to come. The strike cost the state $65,S99.74. Rural Schools

This school under the management of the board, composed Of ladies to which ex officio belong the gov ernor and superintendent of education, has been well managed and the ladies de- serve great credit. l believe, however, that it should be removed to the states property at Speigners, not as an adjunct to the penitentiary but that the young men might share in all the advantages or the states extensive properties. There is being built a water power at Speignors which the school could take advantage of in every kind of manufacture.
