CARRIERS FOURTH CON-
GRESSlONAL DISTRICT

1t seems necessary that we give
some Of our reasons in advance OF
our Ackerman convention for advocat-
ing moving the convicts from the
state farms.
We ask three questions. First,
How much does it cost to move a
convict from a county site in the
Fourth District to Parchman.
Second. How many bales Of cotton
per head was raised last year on
these farms? Third Did the cotton
raised have any effect on ihe market
during the season?
Our reasons for moving him is to
get them out Of competition with the
cotton farmers and at something else
preferably on the public highways.
By building good roads, farm values
will increase one or two hundred per
cent the values will be permanent and
beneficial to all the people. W kere by
raising cotton nothing is added to the
value of the state only the local in,
crease is the state farms and the little
revenue derived there from.
Georgia and Virginia have passed
through the experimental stage follow
ed by Florida in working successfully
convicts on their highways
But if t is unwse to move them put
them where their products wont come
in competition with the farmers. Let
them make shoes, slippers, brooms
etc, and raise such articles Of food as
we now buy for these eighteen hun.
dred convicts and about the same
number Of in mates in the two Insane
Asyulms and other state wards,
We are told that these farms clear
ed one hundred thousand dollars last
year, well, that is only Ave dollars per
head and what does the state profit if
he money goes for something that
tcould be raised on her own premisis.
