ANNUAL REVENUE OF CONVICT BUREAU |S
 OVER ONE MILLION
Douglass in Report Declares Department More PrOs- porous Than Ever
 Before

Montgomery, July 9-(SpeeiaL)-Co erably over s1,00o,OOO now represents the annual revenue of the state convict de- partment, according to Hartwell Doug lass, president of the board of convict in spectors who has made a brief report to the governor for the second quarter ending June 90. The receipts for the quarter in- cluding revenue derived from all the con- vict labor contracts and from the output of the cotton mill at Speigners amounted to s313,000, the largest receipts of the de- partment for any quarter in the history of the state.
 According to President Douglass the contracts of the department are bring ing into the state treasury more revenue than ever before in the departments his- tory, and the receipts are constantly in cieGsing. President Douglass declares that this is due to the nature of the con- tracts and to the thorough cooperation on the part of the contractors with the department in securing the best results from humanitarian standpoint al we'll as from a financial one.
 The output from Banner mines for the month of June was 45,0O0 tons, the largest ever made by that mine and probably the
 
 district, according to President Douglass During the month the convicts in the mines earned about $500, which was paid to them for extra labor performed. They were allowed to send this money to their families or to spend it in any other legiti- mate way
