and neither Lindsey nor the prison
commission can help themselves.
At present all parties to the contro-
versy are standing pat. The feeling
between Lindsey and the board of com
missioners is very bitter, but the atti-
tude of the prison commission is more
or less one of amused indiffer ence, al
though the board is interested in the
outcome.
The betting is that the Floyd county
