 TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERAI

The city of Florence was entirely without water yesterday for a period of eight hours. Due to break in the big pipe between the pump and the reservoir. The cut off valve failed to work and the entire supply of water rushed back through the pipes and flooded the pumping station. No permanent damage was done. Before men could reach another valve of the reservoir all the water had escaped and without any notice the residents were bone dry for the rest of the day
 The city water company is install ing an electrical pump to replace the steam pump now in use, and in re- moving the bank around the base of the pipe, it's resistence to the pressure of the pump was lessened which which caused the breakage, according to the men in charge. Water is off again today for si Xor eight hours but after Saturday no further trou- ble is anticipated. M

FIGHT ON CONVICT SYSTEM CONT TINUES DESPITE NE W WMOVE
Brewer Says Abolition Of County Leasing All Right,
 But Not Enough
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGTG-HERALD -! iontgomery, Ala, July 28 ]

Obolition of the convict lease sys- tenn will continue to take the time of the legislature duNng the next few days, according to indications. The administration during the week Introduced in the house a bill p"o- viding for the taking over of all county convicts by the state con- vict department and the use of the rcounty convicts as part of the state convict system.
 Up to the introduction of the bill the administration had opposed any legislation involving a change in the convict system. Governor Brandon informed supporters that he believed pthe state should have supervision over county convicts in order to re- fmoVe thee short term convicts were being hired to coal companies and others without any supervision being maintained over them by the coun- ties.
 However, those favoring the aboli- fton of the convict lease system have Indicated that the bill will not meet their full approval. An amendment will be offered which will prohibit the convict department from working the short term men with those con victed of felonies. Under the bill which was introduced by c. w Ash craft of Lauderdale, no restrictions are placed on the convict department and persons convicted by misde- meanors may be worked side by sido and banked side by side. with felons, according to Senator Walter s. Brow CT of Jefferson, who has led the fight for the abolition of the iecse sys tenn.
 Hynnts Glasses Separate.
 There are some good features in Nhe bill which proposes the use of county convicts under the state sys- hut oi Dill continues to give recognition to a convict lease system, which has Veen condemned by other states The Introduction of this bill should not stop the fight for the abolition of the leasing. While 1t would be bet Ter for the state to work county convicts under a plan which would maintain some semblance of super vision, those who believe in the aboli- tion of system whereby convicts become slaves of private interests should continue their campaign. Wnnts Amendment.
 Several amendments should be made in the Ashcraft bill. The con- vict department should be prohibited from working misdemeants with fel- ons. It would not be right to send a person convicted of riding a train to d mine where he would be worked with man convicted of a felony Under the bill there is no provision requiring the separationS of short term convicts from long term con- victs.
 Another amendment should be made which would permit a county to make a contract withs~another county for the use of county con- victs on the public highways. The Ashcraft bill does no tprovide that any county may use it's own convicts on it's own public roads, but it does not permit a county a contract with another county for the use of it's convicts in this way. The enact- ment of the bill into law would abro- gate several contracts by which con- Victs of one county are now used on the highMaNS of anoth cnuntNn
