The board of county commissioners
Of Duval county have leased to the
Florida Pine Company, present lessees
of the county convicts, twenty-five or
more of the convicts for the sum Of
S22.50 per month, which is an increase
of Sc over the old contract, says a
special from Jacksonville. Provision
was also made that the convict COM
mittee Of the board Immediately pra-
pare to begin working convicts on the
county roads, and the first fund de-
rived from the new lease VIII be used
for building needed stockades and pur-
chasing cage wagons for prisoners.
The commissioners favor working
the convicts on the roads, but show
determination to move slowly and
make careful preparations before be-
ginning the use of all convfcts. This
is also made necessary by the fact tina.
several thousand dollars must neces-
sarily be expended before arrange
ments can be made to house and
otherwise care for the prisoners. The
lessees generally have from sixty to
ninety convicts in their camps, but at
present have only forty.
Only One Bidder.
The present lessees were the only
bidders for the convicts, and the in :
crease OF six dollars per month was
voluntary on their part They stand
ready at any time to give the county
all convicts over twenty-five. and show
q disposition to assist the county in
making the change from the leasing
system to working under county direc-
ton.
Begin Work Soon.
Commissioner Conroy insisted upon
losing no time IN beginning road re-
pair work with the county convicts
declaring that Duval county, under ex-
listing conditions really has no roads
the old roads having been allowed to
go to ruin because of no funds for re-
pair work Mr.. Holmes is an equal
enthusiast on the subject, but he au1

luton by Mr.. Conroy, providing fol-

GOOD YEAR FOR WINE.

After an exceptionally warm and
dry summer i'm France the wine har-
vest took place under the most favor
able climatic conditions. The quantity
of the wine has not come up to ex-
pectations everywhere, but as FOL
quality il is probable that 1911 will be
one of the best years for champagne
and claret. Prices, however, Will be
high all around. This Is the opinion
of NJ. Ernest Verdier, the late pro-
prietor of the now vanished Maison
Doree. the famous Paris restaurant.
This years weather conditions have
been extremely favorable to the cham
payne vine. uantity this year will be
average. but the quality will probably
be found to rank with the best years
The claret vintage has taken place
in highly satisfactory conditions. The
grape was perfectly ripe and the vines
were tree from all disease. An ap-
estimate puts the quantity
at not quite thirds OF that for an
average year. White Bordeaux ap-
pears to be equally well favored i'm
quality, and 1911 will, 1t is anticipated,
likewise prove to be first class year
for white wine.
The wines of Burgundy will be less
than those of the Cham
pagne or Bordeaux. The harvest OF
red wine will be about half the aver
age and that of white wine practically
nil.
I'm the Chablis district the harvest
will probably be OF good quality. but
here again the quantity is very small.
The regions which appear to have
been most favored are Touraine and
Anjou, which have produced very gem
erous wines.

THE BRITISH PoSToFFIcE.

The germ OF the service is found
in the organization Of relays to car
ry the kings dispatches, which date
from 1882. A single horseman rode 20
miles and then handed his packet to
another We read Of ordinances for
the posts on the Dover road in 1855
and OF proclamation by Elizabeth
I'm 1891 ordering that the posts only
We're to be used for correspondence
with foreign countries. In 1886 Thomas
Witherings was postmaster of Eng
land for foreign parts" but the le-
gality of his patent was disputed for
many years. The commonw wealth put
the possession OF the letter monopoly
up to tender" and thus began in
the form of an annual rent the public
revenue of the postofiice."
Dockwra, a London merchant, was
a real pioneer. for he opened i'm 1850
several hundred offices which gave
London private local post. The
postage was a penny only and was
taken over by the postmaster general
Ralph Allen, postmaster OF Bath in
1919, was also "A pioneer, and in 45
years of work he managed to set up
many posts on the crossroads away
from the main routes throughout the
country. The first mail coach ran
from Bristol to London in 1884, though
urgent letters had been sent before
by vehicles which travelled faster
than the mail carts.
In the eighteenth century there was
rome of the safety and secrecy which
the public now takes for granted. We
recall the complaints Of Pope and
Swift that their secrets sent i'm let
ters were discovered by clerks, and
though their vanity may have eX-
aggrerated the Importance of the one
and the culpability of the other, many
members OF the house of commons
were making similar complaints in
1885; while i'm 1883 Pitt found il "al-
most impossible to write anything
worth reading" for his mothers pc

Johnson i'm 1916 would not receive "A
