ALABAMA'S CONVICT
 SYSTEM ID BECOME MODEL FOR COUNTRY
Improved Conditions Are One of Notable Features of the Present Admin
 istration
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery. July 17-(S (Special)- When Gov Thomas F. kilby retires
 from office in January. 1923 Ala bama's convict system will be among the best in the country. if plans which have been and are being made by the governor and state board of control and economy can be carried sut. These plans not only provide for the better sment of conditions inside prison walls. sbut also provide for better prisons.
 Already preliminary work has been done on the construction of a state prison at Spegner, which will take ths 5place of the wooden barracks which have served as a prison for many years. Work will be started on the prison during the next few weeks and swill be carried on until concrete build ings stand where the wooden shacks now are located. Estimates are that the series of buildings will cost about $25o.000. exclusive of labor. Convict labor will be used in the construction work.
 The board of control is now doing everything possible to improve cond- tions inside prison walls. Time is given 5the convicts for recreation and study. provision is made for the payment for overtime where such is possible, and the tasks are being shortened to Such extent that the men have time for recreation or to earn extra money.
 Interesting letters are now coming to state officials and newspapers from persons who are behind prison walls, 4Some have complained about the treat sment of conviets, but in great ma Jority of instances inquiries have de- veloped the fact that the complaints are from men who were in prison be- fore the Rfesent administration was Started and were either paroled or had completed their sentences. One Mont gomery newspa per indicated during .the week that it had received several letters complaining about the treat ment of convicts and would make an Investigation in an effort to determine whether or not the charges are true. This newspaper did not give the names of the complaining convicts or the na- atura of thair complaints.
 During the week Governor Kilby re- .ceived one letter from a life time con- vict Ermon Williams who is serving his sentence in the coal mines at AL
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-07-18

dr.ch Williams told the governor in a simple way that he believed he should thank him for the many good things the governor and other state officials have done for the improve meut of conditions behind prison walls
 Extracts from the letter follow:
 Being a convict at the Aldrich nin- ing camp, and having served a period of nearly six years. I feel it is the duty of some one of us to express our feeling and to thank you all for the good that you have done for us since you have been over us. Honorable Governor, we wish to thank you from the depths of our hearts and to hope that many blessings will be bestowed upor sou all rc. making cur camp 100 per cent better than it has ever been since it became a camp.
 we feel that we have a, chance to better ourselves and to make good men, so when we leave here we will be better men and not worse. We wish to thank you thousand times for giv- ing us the wardens. MT. G. T. Dannelly and MT. C. W. Morley. over us. There are no two better men living than they are, and they give us a fair and square deal and conditions cannt be made any better for us We have plenty to eat plenty of clothes and good beds, and they allow us all privileges that will do us good and help us, such as Sum day school, church. moving pictures. ball games, and we have persons from different churches. such as Montevallo and Wilton. to come and hold services.
 of course. we have a few kickers here. but they are new men that have just got into prison and have fot ex- perienced any of the hardships that we had in the past. I am a life man. work in the mines and have never been outside the prison yard since I came March r. 1915. but as you all have done so much for me and have given me a chance to make my sentence while making better man. feel that I ought to let you know it and. thank you all for it.
 "If only I was able I would publish it in the newspapers. so the people of Alabama. would know what a change you all have made for us."

OF many interesting occasions. 1t has

reliable Wilmington builders. To meet
the cost of these improvements about
$4,000 will be needed. An appeal has
been sent broadcast throughout the
diocese with a view to securing this
amount. DR.. Philip Cook, who is soon
to be consecrated fourth Bishop of
Delaware. will he the next Occunant
of Bishopsteda. He has a charming
wife and four interesting little daugh-
ters, all under eight years of age.

cupancy until about the middle of No
vember. The committee in the mean
time will find a furnished house of
moderate size which might be rented
for month or six weeks for the use
of the bishops family until the work
on Bishopstead is completed-that is,
from October Is to about December :.
