coNVlcTs BACK ON FARM.

Commissioners Court is in session
this week. and among other wise
things done by them is the hiring OF
the county convicts to R. S. Newsome
for laboring on his farm in the Brazos
bottom. The convicts have been
worked on the public roads of the
county since Mr.. Newsome turned
them back to the county years ago,
and the county has found by expert
ence that they cannot be worked with
profit to the county, for the expense
in the way of feeding, maintenance,
extra hire of bosses and guards,
makes the convict labor cost more
than hired labor. 1t frequently hap
pens that there are only a few con-
victs, sometimes only two or three,
but the expense of guards, etc, goes
on all the same.
Mr.. Newsome pays SIS per month
for men and $3.50 for women and
boys, and the county can take this
money and accomplish more good
with it than working convicts on the
roads.
There are about ten convicts on
the roads now, and they will be trans
ferred to the farm in the Brazos bot
tom the latter part of this week. This
was the wise and sensible thing to
do. The money derived from them
will be used to hire free labor on the
roads.-Burleson County Ledger.

Bill Car1YSa17
BY HUGH 5. FUILERTON

This year of 1914 has brought
to the front three managers of
baseball teams-Branch Rickey,
Charlie Herzog and George Stall
ings-and the greatest of these
is Stallings.
The astonishing Improvement
in the tail-eHd teams this sea
son has been due almost entirely
to the selection of brainy, capa-
BILE managers, for the material
with which they have worked is
poorer than in any of the last
ten years.
The only manager who has
fooled me this season is Bill Car
rigan. | expected him to make
a frightful splash of IL and am
rejoicing that he has done won
derfully we'll.
But Stallings is the big noise
OF the season. To me he is one
of the wonders of baseball, ana
he has been held back from fame
