 We send our convicts to the mines," said MT. Rice, who followed Mir. Jen- kins, "as a matter of sentiment, and I have no apology to make for 1t. Our people are not too hard on criminals. The only miscarriage of our criminal justice Is that guilty men too often go free The revenue question does not enter into the proposition-the mines are a place to confine our con- victs and to punish them for their crimes
 MT. Stollenwerck thought the bill should be read, stating that he would like to have more light on the sub ject before voting on the question.
 Maudlin Sentiment
 'I got in late" said MT. Masten, "but I got in in time to hear good deal of maudlin sentiment. The employ ment of our convicts on the public roads would bankrupt the several counties in Alabama for the expense of maintaining their convicts would be enormous"
 "I believe that this silly sentiment IS the result of hearing the talk of lot of crazy women who do not know what they are talking about, con- cluded the Montgomery representative.
 Mir Greene of Dallas said that the convicts as a rule would rather work in the mines than on the public roads and said he believed the bill should not be passed.
 We should not be swept off our feet by a calamity which occurred few days ago." said Mir. Motion of Jeffer son He declared that if the convicts were put to work on the public roads the lives of the women and children of the state would be jeopardized.
 MT. Bush of Montgomery spoke of the great advantage which would ac- crue to the state from working the convicts on the public roads and adyo cated the bill.
 MT. Arnold said the bill was of too great importance to take up the time of the house this late in the session. He declared that the experiment of working the convicts on the public roads would be too expensive--a great burden to the counties of the state. and a means of greatly reducing the revenues of Alabama. On motion of MT. Arnold the caucus then adjourned snc die.

To Take Convicts From Mines

Mir Mulkey said 1t was all right to en- tertain sentimental notions, but it was fundamentally wrong to pass the bill In it's present form. He said the bill would disrupt the whole convict system and that the. legislature could not afford to rass such drastic measure this late in the season.
 Mr. Pitts said that great portion of the public school fund came out of the revenues derived from the employment of state convicts

Is Modern Undertaking.
As recently as the Civil war period
conductors arranged their own meet
ing places when the meeting point in
the time tables could not be observed
for any reason. Afterward the super
intendent took up the matter. and when
trains began to be run at very fire.
quent intervals this work of arranging
meeting places was turned over TO an
employee especially designated for that
undertaking. Thus wac born the mod
ern work of train dispatching. 1t is
said that the first railroad signal in
the world was used on the Newcastle
& Frenchtown railroad in Delaware in
1882. 1t was a sort Of timebaH affair.
At each station, which was visible from
the next station, there was large pole
erected, and with pulley arrangement

In making a time table a schedule
board is used. This board is so ruled
as to show the distance between termi-
mails and the hours at which trains
ought to depart from one and arrive
at the other A system of strings and
pins is used, the strings stretching
from one terminal to another. and the
time is so adjusted as to allow fast
running on portions Of the line where
conditions are favorable to good time.
and a slow schedule where traffic con-
ditions, grades and other considera-
tions make fast time impossible The
principal roads change their schedules
about twice a year. and it costs one
eastern road nearly $4,000 to print
the time tables used by the operating
force alone. to say nothing Of the 9TH
er thousands of dollars expended for
the printing and distributing Of time
tables for the public.
