WOULD PAROLE
 STATE CONNECTS
Governor FutrefI Favors Parole System But Would RigidIy
 Punish Homicide.
Special to Independent.

J. M. Futrell, who recently made a lengthy inspection of the State Farm, today gave out a rather warm interview, regard ing the manner in which the c0nvicts should be handled there.
 He calls attention to the fact that the convicts are huddled to- gether in large stockade, poor l ly ventilated, and at the mercy of the mosquitos. The govern or says rest is imperative for the convicts if they are to per- form good work for the state on the following day, and present conditions but tend to the spread of disease.
 l Governor Futrell favors a pa role system for the prisoners, but upon rather unique basis. He would divide the convicts into two classes, either those which have destroyed porerty and those who have destroyed human life; or the moral degen- crate and the criminal who may be reformed. Neither the moral degenerate or the man who has taken human life could be par oled.
 Property may be again re- gained or again accumulated" says the governor, "but not so with human life. The taking of human life, under circumstance es which make it murder in the first degree, represents a total abandonment of moral principle. To those who have escaped the |gallows and gone to the peniten- Itiary, I think no parole should be granted. The man of means rarely ends his career on the gallows. When the assassin is made to know that his punish |nent will be swift and certain, |the state will have given the Ipublic the greatest protection.
 "The nature, character and habits of each convict should be looked into. His previous life Ishould be considered, so that only the proper ones might be lparoled. Such a system care fully and intelligently carried out, should appeal to the better mature of the convict. Any sys- tenn based upon a fixed per cent age of service alone involves the wrong principle"
 1 Gov. Futrell expects the farm to be self-sustaining. after this lyear.. He says that failure to make the farm self-sustaining lis conclusive evidence of incom- potency of the management. The fact that the state will have to go into debt for a portion of the supplies purchased this year is given as a reason why the farm will not be self-sustaining this lyear.
 Where there is @ profit over maintenance" continues the Igovernor, "the convicts should have it, or their families. Such a course will lessen the bitter lness of the prisoner to the State, will make him take an interest lin his work, as he is a beneficiary lof his own labor. At one time l Twas opposed to this proposition |but a closer study of the subject has caused me to change my mind"
 Gov. Futrell also advises addi- tional and better ventilated fstockades. with a sewerage sys- tenn, which could be installed at Ia very small cost. He states that the health of the convict must be preserved, he being af lthe mercy of the state. The
