 He has just completed an inspection trip to all camps and he states that it is a crime for the state to permit it's wards to be treated as they are at some of the places.
 "At one camp" he said yesterday. "I saw a great, big man with raw places all over his shoulders and bdcS made by whppings given him. lie had failed to do his task and for this fai.- ure the whipping was administered.
 "At one of the camps we found the superintendent drunk and two of the convicts were arrested on the way to town with 90 gallons of whisky Tor tue superintendents brother The super intendent, we were informed. operateu four illicit distilleries.
 At one of the mines we found leacs in the scales which robbed the conViets of a big percentage of their work. They made a difference of about 2"D hounds in a ton of coal, and they were docked and beaten for loading dirt on cars with the coal. '.
 "The conditions are terrible u would be revelation to the peofle of Alabama if they could go to these camps and see what treatment is given the convicts."

Ex-Gou. Conner Belieues Alabama Legislature
 Should Ratify Suffrage

southern people as a section against this movement as it proved to be when they lead them out of the Union as defenders of slavery. The enthrallment of our wom- en should be broken. We of Alabama sl culd join hands with Texas Tennessee and other advanced states and with the federated nations of the world and give women every right that we claim as our own. The association of the political rights of woman and man should be on a basis of equal partnership as is the marital relation.
 Alabama will soon have an opportunity which comes not often in a lifetime. It is daily expected that Congress will speedily pass the suffrage amendment, the Susan B. Anthony amendment, if you please.
 The legislature of Alabama having an sdiourned session in July will have the first opportunity to endorse this acton of the federal government. The aues- tion is. will Alabama measure up to the opportunity? Will Alabama prove reac- tionary? Will the old cry of states rights again prevail, or will the legislature, measuring up to it's opportunity, throw off the old environments and join in the sisterhood of advanced states, the sister hood of advanced nations, and give to our women the recognition that civiliza 7 ton demands? Respectfully,
 B. B. COMER,
 Birmingham, May 29, 1919.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Senator w. H. Smith of Lawrence coun- ty. in an open letter, commended your endorsement of woman suffrage and stated that we of the south have been too conservative; that conservatism with in bounds is to be commended and that extremes mean dry rot, mean death. Senator Smith also stated that there are a sufficient number of advanced states to pass the suffrage amendment, even though Alabama and some other southern states remain on the ultra conservative list.
 Sectionalism has produced the utmost evils in the south We have hardly yet recovered from the bad results of our first great sectional environment, avery human slavery We are now again at the Mason and Dixon line. This time. rot the slavery of men, but the enfran- chising of our women, is the issue. One of the most far-reaching questions in the world today is the absolute, equal, free rights of women The south with it's love, it's admiration for woman should strike hands with it's sister states, it's sister na- tions of the world, to establish firmly this greatest democratic measure ever brought before the peoples of the world world.
 It would be just as serious mistake for the leaders of the south to lead the
