WINTER DRIVING TRAMPS FROM

OF work, he never has had to deal
with similar class of prisoners.
Many of these persons" he said
"are much above the average type OF
.-isoners. There are four or five with
my road gang today who are excep.
: tiesaally bright young men, with good
educations and business ability. The
wanderlust has taken possession OF
them. and they were unfortunate
enough to land in community where
the officers of the law are alive to
their duties"

wired to Chancery Clerk ellis by
their mothers in Raymond. Miss. with
which to pay their fines. The boys
