WANT CoNvICTS ON ROADS.
Launches Statewide Movement With
This End in View.

Jackson.-A movement has been
launched by the commercial organizations
of Mississippi to secure the passage of
statutes abolishing the convict farming
system, and providing for the working
of the states convicts on the public
roads.
The movement originated with the
Meridian Board of Trade, and similar
organizations throughout the state have
been asked to give it eher endorsement.
The following letter has been received
from President j. r. Russell, Jr., of the
Meridian organization, by the Jackson
Board of Trade:
believing as we do that the building
of improved highways will greatly en-
hance the value of the lands adjacent to
them, and otherwise contribute largely
to the prosperity of the people, we think
that our state should adopt the policy
that is being used with such splendid re-
suits by the state of Georgia, viz, using
the state convicts to build good roads.
We think that the legislature at its next
session should pass law providing for
this, and we would suggest that the COM
mercia bodies of the state begin now
an agitation of the subject, and that
the candidates for the Legislature be
asked to commit themselves on it,"
If the matter is brought before the
lawmaking body in January it will UNI
doubtedly provoke very lively fight.
For several years the convict farming
system has proven good source OF
revenue to the state, the profits often
running as high as 100000 per year.

WHITES SLAYER PARDONED.
Lewis Dennis Restrode His Citizen
ship.

Jackson.-One of the most celebrated
prisoners in the Mississippi peniten-
tiary was restored to liberty last night
when Gov. Noel granted a pardon to
Lewis Dennis, the slayer of Hon. John
I. White, circuit clerk of Kinds county.
Dennis was serving a two-year term
for manslaughter, and his sentence had
almost expired. The granting of par
don was for the purpose of restoring
him to citizenship, as he has promised
to lead a moral and law-abiding life.
He was given extra good time for good
behavior.
Dennis belongs to one of the best
known families of the county, his father
having been for many years prom
inent farmer living near Raymond.
The tragedy occurred on February 25,

he drew his pistol and fired. Investiga-
