Governor And Convict De- partment Both Favor Enact ment Of Law, Ashcraft As- Serts After Conference With Brandon
STATE CAPITAL, BUREAU !
 CHE AGE-HERALD

hOHLgoH1tTy, Ald., tAuR. J
 Although the house committee on penitentiary and criminal admins tration last Friday adVersed his bill providing for the working of county convicts by the state convict depart ment, c. W. Ashcraft of Lauderdale, one of the administration floor lead CTS, today predicted that the legisla ture will take some action which will provide for the supervision of con victs before the end of the session.
 The prediction was made after MT. Ashcraft had discussed the status of the bill with Governor Brandon. Re ports during the past few days had been that the governor and the con- vict department were opposed to the Ashcraft bill and that this had re- suited in the unfavorable report of the committee.
 Governor Brandon not only as sured me that he was in favor of the enactment of a law which would pro- vide for state supervision over all convicts, but presented docu- ments to show that the convict de- partment likewise is in favor of 1t, said MT. Ashcraft.
 q am sure that later in the session the legislature will take up this measure or a similar one and make 1t a law. 1 am sure that 1t will be willing to do something which will Y affair in Alabama. At present no supervision is maintained over county convicts and the passage of a bill placing such supervision is the least the state can do.
 Before the bill was introduced it was approved by Governor Brandon, who said he believed the state should take over county convicts that super vision might be given which would not be given by the counties"
 The committee on penitentiary ana criminal administration made an un- favorable report of the bill after MT. Ashcraft had urged a favorable re- rort. No person appeared In opposi- tion. The bill was the second which met the disapproYal of thls commit tee. The other, introduced by Repre- = sentative Adams of Blount, required the state to maintain supervision over all convicts, state and county while they are worked under lease. The house declined to take the Adams bill from the adverse calendar bv vote of 53 to P Friday.
 No action has been taken by the senate committee on finance and tax ation on the three p1lls or oehd1oi Walter s. Brewer.
 Senator Brewer has indicated that he will make no effort to obtain favorable action until the admlnlstId tion revenue bills are out of the way. One of Senator Brewers bllls pro vides for the abolition of the lease system September 30, 1925. A sec opd nrohibits the leasing of county convicts after January 1, 1924. A third submits to the people con, stitutional amendment which Woulo write into the state constitution section prohibiting the leasing or county convicts.

authority on trade relations answers
the question.
'The first store was immaculate.
Artistic display invited you, The
goods were arranged so that brands
were easy to see" The second store
was wanting in all these points.
1t appears that even so essential an
article as food does not sell itself
without an effort on the part of the
merchant. Advertising backed by ser
vice, quality, satisfaction, courtesy
and knowledge of the business are
points of successful craftsmanship of
as great Importance as the presence
