FORTY CONVICTS AT WORK
ON THE COLUMBIANA ROAD


is estimated that the camp will remain at
its present site three or four months
The work done by the eonvicts thus FAR
has been very satisfactory, according to
the statement of Superintendent VIII Pat
tie, and for the amount of work done the
cost has been low. He states that The
men are generally contented and work
with a will, many of them stating that
they much prefer the county roads to The
mines. Thus far the county has no dead
heads" or those physically unfit, all the
convicts at the present time being able
bodied. There Is only one white woman
at the permanent camp, and no negro
women, as they are farmed out to Me-
Queen Smith. who works them on his
large plantation.
As an evidence of the way the convicts
feel about working the county roads, Mr..
Pattie states that two white men who
had been sentenced to 80 days for va
granty. at the completion of their sen
tence made application for employment
as teamsters-these always free men
at the camp and were employed by him.

days audience was drawn from men and
women in every walk of life.
DR.. Oman spoke ON the different phases
of rescue work in Birmingham and in the
course of his remarks said The mere
dscontinuance of evil living assures
neither a man nor girl of remaining in the
path of rectitude. Christian people ci
strong minds and deep sympathies must
throw the mantle Of charity around these
bewildered ones, and by encouragement,
and Kindness sustain them until they
have the strength to stand alone.
our modern method is to toss nam
quarter or send woman to the police
station, and feel that we have done all
that is required of us Charity in its
truest sense is not the mere giving OF
money we must throw our Individual
abilities and intelligence into the balance
also. and by example help the fallen
brother rise.
"The strength of community is never
more than the sum total of the strength
of the individuals who make up that com
munity, and hundred men at work make
great difference III that total from hay
ing the same hundred men in Jail.
