Regulate Working, Feeding
and Treatment of County
COnvicts on Roads
BREAD AND WATER
DIET AS PUNISHMENT
Corporal Punishment Prohibited I'm
less With Consent and in Pres
ence of Board-Minute
Rules for Food

In addition to the edict of Governor
O'Nea ordering the shaclIles and chains
struck from the legs of the eonyicts work
ing the roads of the county, new compli-
cations have arisen in the convict situa-
tion in the shape of the new rules and
regulations adopted by the state convict
department regulating the working, feed
ing and treatment of the convicts who are
worked by the county on the county
roads.
They are very stringent and give min
ute instructions as to how the convicts
shall be worked, clothed fed and pun
ished. White convicts are not to be per-
mitted to work with negroes nor work
any nearer than 100 yards to them. Every
article of food is specified which must
be varied and ample, of good quality and
includes, meat vegetables, flour and corn
bread molasses. vinegar tobacco and
coffee of good quality, which must be
sweetened with white sugar"
In addition to two complete changes
of clothing, each convict must be pro-
vided with an overcoat and clean bed
clothes must be furnished twice week.
Stringent rules are laid down in regard
to sanitation. The convict board forbids
any corporal punishment to be inflicted
unless with their permission and 'in their
presence" In other words, the charges
against the convict his offense and rea-
sons for punishment must be forwarded
to the convict board at Montgomery. the
board decides whether the offense war;
rants corporal punishment or not and
If so, the board must he present when
the punishment is inflicted. The board
rovides a system of punishment by put
ting the offender on a bread and water
diet for so many days, but he must be
examined each day by the county ply
siolan as to his physical condition.
The rules are statewide and apply to
all convicts that are worked by the sew
eral counties or leased by them to pri-
vate corporations, firms individuals.
outside of mines.
No action has been taken by the board
of revenue in reference TO removing the
shaclSles from the county conVicts. but
have submitted the matter TO their attor-
ney.

Brown from the field, there is now every
indication that Senator Kilby will be un-
opposed in his race for lieutenant gov
ernor.
The formal statement of Mr.. Brown is
sued yesterday morning in Birmingham
follows:
After giving due consideration to the
suggestion of friends that | enter the
race as a candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, | have decided not to do so
Il am principally Influenced in arriv-
ing at this conclusion by the fact that
my personal friend, Hon. Thomas T. Kill
by, has already announced as a candidate
for this important office, and know that
he is thoroughly in sympathy with me
in the ambition l cherish to improve the
education Of the boys of the state along
certain lines, and as we are heartily In
accord generally on public questions look
ing toward the development and advance
ment of our state, and recognizing, as /
do, Mr. Kilbys eminent fitness for the
position, l ask that my friends support
him and lend to him their aid and in
fiuence in his candidacy for the Iieuten-
ant governorship.
II take this opportunity sincerely to
thank the many friends from every sec
port, and ! wish to thank them for their
confidence in me. assuring them that such
confidence is heartily appreciated.

The dogs of war have again been
loosed on the Kelley franchise.
At special session of the city com
mission this afternoon it will be de-
cided whether or not an extension of
80 days or until October i will be al
lower for the payment of the S49,ooU
that under the terms of the franchise
becomes due to the city today.
Serious opposition will be met by the
Kelleys, and an actual forecast as to
what will be the final result of the mat
ter is not being made by anyone, even
those closest in touch with affairs at
she city hall. The Kelleys asked orally
for extension of time at the commits
sion meeting yesterday and upon the
motion of President c. Exum, who
frankly states he has no faith in the
Kelleys or their undertaking, 1t was
DELAYED for final action at a special
meetins of the board at o'clock this
afternon.
Money Is Tight, They Say
"A financial stringency,' which 1t
is claimed, has been in. progress for
the past 80 days, is given by the Kelley
c0mnAnV
for an extension. They promise that
the full $4,000 will be paid at the
end of that time, and be paid entirely
in cash. instead of $4,000 to be paid

in the franchise and further that their
entire line will be in operation by the
exniration of the time stipulated in the
franchise.
President Exum states that while he
does not favor the Kelley franchise at
all and never has, that at the same
time he might be willing to vote foi
an extension providing that they put
up a further deposit" with the city to
show their god faith. Judge Lane re-
fused to state his position on the mat
| ter other than to say that he "be-
lieyed in as much competition as we
can get" Mr.. Weatherly stated
frankly that he was In favor of al

| George C. Kelley has been spending
the larger part of his time in New
York the past several weeks endeav-
oring to make the arrangements foi
financing the railway. He arrived in
the city last Saturday night, in order

mission for an extension of time.

few words the request for an ex-

LETTERS AND PAPERS
Number of Semi-Jobbers Testify That
They Were Unable to Buy Direct
From Some Makers But Could
from Others

With a wave of his hand, Walker Percy
ers' association, refused to cross examine
Hinton G. C1abaugh, special agent for the
department of justice, yesterday after
noon, and Immediately thereafter court
adjourned. Mr.. clabaugh was placed on
the stand late yesterday afternoon by Dis
trict Attorney o. d. Street, who engaged
Mr.. Clabaugh in identifying documents
yellow with age that purport to show an
illegal combination of the grocers.
Mr.. Clabaugh, with one sweep. identified
basket filled with letters, whereupon he
was given to the defense for cross ex-
animation. Mr.. Percy evidently did not
think it worth while to examine him.
The United States examined nearly a
score of witnesses yesterday, all of whom
testified that at times they could not buy
direct from certain makers, while almost
invariably on cross examination the same
witnesses said there were many firms
from whom they could and did buy direct,
although not members of the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' association.
So far as observation could determine.
there. was nothing new developed from
any of the witnesses. The most astonish-
ing proposition of the days Developments
was the frank statement of Gen. Luke
Wright, counsel for the grocers, and other
counsel, that most of the developments
yesterday were admitted and that such
admissions would have been made by the
defendants had the government counsel
outlined what evidence was to have been
adduced from the score of men placed on
