mittee so as to have a board which will be ready to make recommends tions to the state board of admins tration regarding the evils of the present system" said Governor Bran- don. "No such committee has yet been appointed and no definite plans have been Inade."s
 When Governor Brandon and his supporters were making the fight ih the legislature to prevent the aboli- tion of the convict lease, he declared that he believed he would be able to work out plan during his adminis- tration whereby the convict lease system could be abandoned and the convicts put to work in other gain full occupations.

 Another Contract Made.
 Since the legislature extended the system the state has made another convict lease contract by which the states penal servants will beare- em = ployed in the mining of coal at the Montevallo mines. Convicts were re- moved from these mines when the trustee cancelled the contract on the direction of the referee in bank ruptcy at Birmingham sveral weeks ago.
