that he would not take the treatment,
although there was no charge. When
his case became extreme and he was in
bed in a dark room he consented Within
four months from the date that Fulton's
Dia bette Compound was sent him he
called at our office in person to express
his qualification and asked what we eX-

MOORE WOULD TEST
 THE CONVICT PLAN
Jefferson Should Experi-
 ment With Road Work
SETTLE THE QUESTION
Believes Board of Revenue Should Determine Once and for All Whether Men Should Be
 Put on Roads

Jones C. Moore. general superinten- dent of mines for the Sloss-sheffield Steel and Iron company. q man whose reputation as a thoughtful citizen is generally known, gave out an interview yesterday advocating the placing af convicts on the roads of Jefferson coun- ty in the nature of an experiment. He said that 1t was most important prop ositon to determine within our own family circle whether the employment of county convicts on the roads was good thing and expressed the opin- ion that until this county did try the experiment no argument could convince the general thinking public that 1t was a good thing or a bad thing from business viewpoint. Mr. Moore went on to say
 "The agitation relatfve,to the convict proposition leaves undetermined wheth- CT the convicts of this county and state shall be placed on the roads. The ar gument was advanced that it might be disastrous from q commercial stand point, although allowing excellent ave- nues for the acquisition of robust con stltutions by the men who were i'm. prisoned.
 "I believe that this county should start out and try working the convicts on the roads. This county is the rich est in the state. it's wealth Is ineom- parable to other counties and in this city there seems to be general disap- proval over working the conyicts by any firm or at any trade other than some outdoor occupation. Some per sons think that the county would lose money by such a step. l suggest that in order 10 educate the remainder of the state as well as our own people, the board of revenue try out the plan. Make a thorough test. and if it Is favorable We will all be better satis-, fled. If, after three years experiment.. we find the road work unsuited for this community and for this state. re- port that to the legislature and allow that body to adopt such enactments as will once and for all settle the agita- tion. If, on the other hand we find the plan a good one, we can report that to the general assembly asd con- pei all counties to improve their roads in this way.
 The initial expense should be care- fully looked after. the equipment should be the best and the experiment. should then go forward with no let up until the final and last test has been made.
 The point, and 1t is the main one that l wish to make. Is that we should not take the record of any state or community. but should within the con fines of this, the largest county in the state. try out the experiment and then measure up the results"
