TO THE COUNTIES!
Provided t,ie Adlon <?i Penitentiary
Hoard in Legal uud Favored by
Ni?te Legislature.
Columbia. Oct. 10.?Convicts now
employed in the ohsiery mill except
lag those considered too dangerous to
be. without the walls, and the decrepit
aud infirm will he let out to the
counties from which they came pro
vided the counties pay the Peniten
tiary $1 per month for each convict.
This will take about 200 and the re
maining loo who are either dangerous
or infirm will he put to work in a
furniture factory to he established
within the walls under the direction
of the board of directors, the output
to be sold by A. 1). Martin, of Ken
tucky, was the decision reached by
the board of directors of the State
Penitentiary after aa all day confer
ence here today.
This disposition of the convb ts is
subject to approval of the General
Assembly at its next session and if!
that body refuses to give its sanction
to the Bchecno then the lawmakers
themselves will he asked to decide
?what is to he done witli the 300 odd
Convicts now employed in the hos
iery mill.
Chairman A. K. Sanders of the
Penitentiary Board said this afternoon
that the hoard had decided this would
be the wisest course to follow. Bids [
will be called for from counties and !
each county will be given the right j
first for the convicts sent up from '
their confines and in the penitentiary ,
and in their home county does not:
want them the convicts will be sent
to other counties which comply with
the conditions. Counties hiring the
convicts are to pay the State Peniten
tiary $1 per month for each prisoner
the} get and they are to clothe and
feed and give him proper medical in
tention and sec that he is given just
and humane treatment.
Already some fifteen of the It
counties of the state have asked for
state convicts which they wish to
work on the roads and it is not be
lieved that there will he any trouble
in getting Bids from counties on the
terms proposed.
Such convicts are included as
rapists, 'murderers, safe blowers, and
that type it is believed would be too
dangerous to permit outside the peni
tentiary walls and those with such
?as are unable to do any physical
labor will bo used in working in the
furniture factory to be . stabllshcd In
the penitentiary walls.
The board made a contract will a.
D. Martin to sell the output of the
factory, the contract being for live
years subject to the approval of the
General Assembly. Mr. Martin is to,
pay the State at the rate of 00 cents j
per day per prisoner for the first year,
T."> cents per day the second year, and
S."> cents per day the year after that.
Mr. Martin will have nothing to do
with the management and will bo con
cerned only with selling (he output
his contract being on a basis to net
the State so much per prisoner as
stated.
The contract with .lohn II. Grnhaill
who is running the hosiery mill ex
pires on November 1st and Chairman
Sanders sold this morning that they
hoped to have the material and ma
chinery for the furniture factory In
stalled by that time so that the con
victs could be pill to work therein by
the first of next month.
The board has been giving careful
consideration to the question of the
disposal of the convicts and have
been holding fr< qecnt conf< rcuecs
with the Governor and Atotrney Gen
Oral. They will hold another session
next Monday to ratify the contract
with Mi-. Martin and close up the
other preliminaries necessary to get
ting tile furniture factory into opera- ;

l-Mitor The Advertiser:
A few weeks ago I wrote you a let
ter in which I contrasted the Demo
cratic and the Republican methods of
managing the public money. The Mc
Adoo method was a shock to some
who had enjoyed special privileges for
many years. I wish to call attention
In this letter to the changed way of
doing things at the navy department,
?losephus Daniels the secretary of the
navy believes that when he goes to
buy material for building our big bat
tle-ships he should invite competitive
bidding' and buy the materials from
the lowest responsible bidder. It was
not so under the Republicans. Tho
Republicans in purchasing armor plate
for battle-ships, for Instance, divided
the contract among the three big cor
porations that make armor plate. No
matter what the bids were oat h cor
poration got its share of the work at!
the lowest hid. Can you Imagine a
sane man bothering himself about
bidding low when he knows in ad
vance that he will get his share of the
work no matter how high and uncon
scionable the bids may be? in conse
quence of this way of doing business
the Wilson administration found the
navy department hopelessly at the
mercy of three big steel companies,
who submitted practically identical
bids for armor, forgings, and oth
er materials and divided the work
up between them to suit themselves,
.losephus Daniels was determined if
poss ble to break up such extortion,
and restore competition. Didders out
side the big three were encouraged to
bid and were given assurance that
their bids would receive careful con
sideration. On August 22nd, bids were
opened for construction steel plates
for battle-ship Number :'.0. The old
combination's price for this sort of
steel bad been sot around two hundred
and eighty-four dollars per ton. In the
bills was found one fro'.n a rank out
sider. The Carbon Steel Comiruny at
$1X7.u I per ton or a saving of $:17S,
361.00 on this one lot of that particu
lar steel for one battle-ship. Bids
from outsiders on medium steel plates
saved $19,000.00. When the bids were
opened for the casings for the turbines
for battleship those casings were
too large to he made in this country
by any steel corporation except the
big three. Feeding secure from com
petition two of them put in bids ex
ceeding one hundred and fifty thous
and dollars. A big ISnglish firm sub
mitted at one third the bids of our
folks. Daniels did not like to give
the contract to a foreign firm, but tho
saving was $102,000.00. On the heavy
armor plate there is thus far no com
petition. The Mldvnlo, Carnegie, lleth
Ichcm the big throe submitted Iden
thai bids -namely live hundred and
fifty dollars per ton. Daniels has not
accepted any of the bids. He wants
some explanation of how they all hap
pen to bid the 8P?U0 thing, all so
high. This hold-up may result In the
government making its own armor.
Competition in pnrchai lug material
for one battle-ship In one month lias
resulted In a saving of more than live
hundred thousand dollars.
This letter may give you some Idea
of how they make steel multi-million
i ires while yon wait. I: may also
give you some Idea of why certain
powerful Influences support big-navy
programs. These are only incidental ,
to my story. The real point to tho 1
story is that under a I>ctnocratic ad
ministration the public money is used
ll) the interest of the people.

Are you building up your land in the hope of realizing in the future on the expen
ture of work and money? If you are, you are doing the right thing by yourself and your
family. Have you ever thought that unconsciously every man's ambition and desire is
to "lay up" something for a rainy day, so that in his old age he will have something to
depend upon and something at his death to leave as a heritage for his wife and children?
Whether you have thought about it or not you will admit that man's great instinct is to
provide for his present needs and the welfare of his children. Do you ever think at odd
times what would happen, what would become of the wife and little one, how they wou Id
live without you and what suffering would be theirs if in case of your early death they
had no property or money to fall back upon?
If you are working hard every day making the provisions for the future, counting
upon living out the alloted time of man and yet are not making any provisions for an
untimely end, YOU ARE MAKING A MISTAKE. In the midst of an active life, you
might be cut off leaving your family without funds. Guard against any such situation.
Take out a policy in Southeasron Life Insurance Company and make a small yearly pay
ment which will guarantee your loved ones comfortable living after you are gone. There
is no way of being assured of as great returns from a small investment as life insurance.
While studying of making changes in crop mothods at this season of the year,
also consider the wisdom of a change to a certain method of providing for your loved
ones' future. See, write or phone
