WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 27.--Chat-
ham County, Georgia, works able

public roads. These prisoners, who
would otherwise be cooped up In Jail
arc not worked with the State Or mis-
demeanant prisoners. and cannot be
put in stripes or chained at all.
The county also operates a large
farm. where women prisoners or males
unfit for road work are detained The
effort is to get all possible prisoners
out Of the Jail and to give them work

The result. according to report
made by Judge Cam. of Savannah, to
the National Committee on Prisons is
excellent. not only for the roads hut
for the prisoners Judge Cam states
that probably 90 per cent of the prison
ers are negroes. Of which probably 90
per cent, when first put in Jail are suf-
ferinS from serious blood disease. The
advantage of the outdoor work is
demonstrated by the fact that when the
prisoners are first sent to Jail more
than 25 per cent are i'll in one WAY or

STUDEBAKER SHIPMENTS
GREATEST IN HISTORY
Second Quarter OF Current Year
Promises TO Eclipse Record
Breaker In First Quarter.

While the first three months OF this
year marked the largest quarter in
the history Of the Studebaker Corpora
ton. the present quarter. from every
indication. is certain far to surpass
the previous one. from the standpoint
of production and sale of cars.
Sales of Studcba ker cars for the first
quarter OF the current year. ending
March 81 were 1882 automobiles. as
compared with s.4Oo for the Same
period a year ago. an increase OF IS
per cent. The completion of the new
100000 factory extensions will be
considerable factor in enabling Stude-
baker to increase it's output for tho
present quarter. and the easing up Of
the freight situation will permit OF
shipping all the cars that can be built.
With the largest selling organization
in it's history. numbering $500 deal
ers. the problem of distributing this
years record output will he a simple
one for Studebakcr. As an indication
of the effort being made to catch up
on orders take care Of dealers and
incidentally set record for
Studcbaker during the current quarter,
the high-water mark of 49o carsl
shipped in single day was recently
made.

Parcel Post Gets
Bag To Destination
Before You Arrive

when travelling mail your grips
parcel post, to your destination and
you will find them awaiting you
when you arrive said an official of
the local post office to-day who has
found a new use for this department
of the post office.
Recently" he continued, when
going to Atlantic City, I mailed my
grip here before leaving. paying eight
cents postage, and, insuring 1t for five
cents. When / arrived in Atlantic
City later that day, found the grip
awaiting me in the room which l had
engaged in advance.
The idea of mailing their baggage
should appeal particularly to women
to whom a heavy grip is not only a
nuisance but an expense as well from
the number of tips necessary for
porters who carry it for them One
Of the advantages of the parcel post
system is that the grip can be left
at the nearest sub station, usually a
drug store, and no more thought
need be given to it until one arrives
at his destination.
For a few cents, grip weighing
anything under 20 pounds may be
sent anywhere in the United States
It can be insured for five cents extra
If it contains anything worth less
than $25 and for 10 cents if more
than SIS, but less than $50. AS par
eel post travels as quickly as first
class mail, there is little delay in
reaching the place to which it has
been sent.

| The increased cost of the state OF

of the state prison, who found that
for three items. potatoes, flour and
coal. bills this year were $4,000 In
excess of those Of year ago. The
amount of these three important
