STATES PRISONERS PROFITABLE.
$4,000 Paid Into Treasury From Sale
of Cotton Crop.


Of Cotton Crop.
Jackson. Secretary Yerger of the
Prison Board Saturday turned in to
the state treasury the proceeds of the
sale Of 1,20O bales of cotton raised on
the Parchman farm, netting the state
the sum of $1O4,5S4.79. This cotton
was sold at an average price of II 1-8
cents per pound, and this large sum is
by no means the total of all that has
been produced by the state convicts
during the past year. Several thou
sand tons of cotton seed have been
disposed of, together with other pro-
ducts of their tell. In fact an estimate
made shows that when the proceeds
are in from all the products of the
farms, there will be sum equal to
about $27O,000 that will be placed to
the credit of the state from this source.
There was a time when the convicts
were an expense to the state, and in
stead of profting from their labors, the
state actually paid other parties a large
sum to take them off its hands. Under
the present system, which is recog-
nized as one of the best among the
many states of the Union, they are a
source of revenue, and their labors go
a long way toward paying the expenses
of the state government.

En- for Democrats.
Washington.-It will not be the
fault of Representative Champ Clark
of Missouri, who wants to be the next
speaker of the house and is likely to
have his ambition fulfilled, if the Dem
ocrats do not smoke the pipe of peace
during the next few years. Out in Mr..
Clark's congressional district they
make nearly all of the corn-cob pipes
that are used in the United States,
which is quite some. Mr. Clark has
sent for two barrels of them and is
now engaged in giving them away to
his Democratic friends.
1t has been estimated that in the two
barrels of cobs ordered by Mr.. Clark
there will be $50 pipes, which will be
enough to go around among the Dem
ocratic members of the next house
about four times.
