ed"

even said she was willing to take care
of my old housekeeper. | told her I
was old enough to be her father and
had no mind on marrying. Next

 sand Dollars

Between $300.000 and $5o0,000 will three months for new pepitentiary plant at Speigners.
 w. F. Feagin, director of the state convict department, was in the Bir- mingham district yesterday inspecting conditions at mines where convicts are employed. With other state officials he was going over the situation in regard to the style of buildings to be erected Recently he returned from a visit to several states where he examined peni- tentiaries.
 Within two years, by law, the system of hiring out convicts will cease in Alabama. In all cases convicts cannot be utilized for road work The officials are devising ways and means for bene- ficially employing men serving penal time.
 As far as the work has gone, said MT. Feagin yesterday. the discussion favors reinforced concrete construction for the new penitentiary. It will be built keeping in view it's utilization as an industrial plant. Housing provision will be made for between 500 and ,Ooo people. Several ideas will be worked out, for the state will in the course of the next year or so build, several such places of confinement at desirable To- calfties
