At the present time there are only 35 convicts at the two county camps at Bessemer, the smallest number of prisoners held here in many years, according to county officials. They state that this condition prevails at every camp in the county, and esti- mate that at the present time the county has only about 121 convicts.
 While the shortage of labor in the county camps may be reflected in curtailment of roadwork, it is also indicative of the moral progress of this section, and demonstrates at least that convictions in the county courts has greatly fallen off during the past year for the major of lenses. It is not thought that the shortage of convicts will prevent roadwork, though at this time 1t Is greatly handicapping the read forces. The county has recently installed considerable machinery in the road working department about Bessemer and a large portion of the work now is being contracted to private con cerns.
 The county camps at Bessemer are models for sanitation and efficiency Two camps are maintained, in the past there being about 70 convicts housed in them. At present this number has dwindled to half.

Quarterback Porter for Huey- town displayed excellent generalship his team winning two touchdowns through consistent football.

SMILE BROUGHT WEALTH

A Meriden, Conn.,, factory superin- tendent's will was filed the other day and discovery was made he had left practically his entire estate, valued al about S59,000, to a young man who had helped to support himself by sell ing newspapers.
 The story is that this youth had never failed to give the Lonesome old man" a smile as he passed through the factory selling his parers, and the circumstance had so impressed the latter that he has made the young man fairly independent through his will. One never knows when smile will count most in this lie. People who walk around with long faces and never try to be interesting to other people never make friends. Even their relatives fight shy of them most of the time.
