CAPT. REECE ON BILL
He Does Not Lika the Convict Measure
Which Becomes the Law.
SAYS IT IS NOT A GOOD ONE AT ALL
Creates Too Many Offices, and the Legis
lature Will Have to Appropriate
M< ney to Maintain the Farm.
The -present legislature passed into
the realms of things deceased yester
day morning at 2:45 o’clock. Under
ordinary circumstances it would have
legally expired at the hour of mid
night. However, the circumstances
were not ordinary, and while time
did not really stop its flight, to all ap
parent purposes it dfid.
Os Floyd’s legislators Messrs. Nevin
and Ennis remained to the night ses
sion at which time the hardly fought
battle between the senate and house
took place over the convict measure.
Capt. Reece came home Thursday
night and did not stay to the night
session.
He looks a little thin and worn from
the hard work of the past session, and
the numerous night sittings have
sapped bls strength. The captain
has long since given over the habit of
remaining up late nights. He has for
some years been accustomed to
retiring as early as 9 o’clock, and gets
CAPT. JOHN H. REECE.
up with the sun. While other peo
ple are thinking of beginning their
morning toilets, Capt. Reece has per
formed a good day’s work.
To his orderly habits this genial
and popular gentleman owes his splen
did health. Capt. Reece has* made a
most excellent representative, safe,
conservative, and always taking a
stand upon important issues in line
with what be believed sincerely to be
for the good of the people he repre
sents.
He was kept t ery busy yesterday
shaking hands with people —he knows
and is known by everybody in the
county. Between the times he was
greeting friends, and passing a
few words with them a reporter
managed to get an interesting inter
view from him.
“I am glad this session is over, and
that I can rest at home for awhile,”
he said. “This has been a trying ses
sion, and has tired me more, I think
than any I ever sat in. The has been
a lot of good work done by this legis
lature, and the abuse heaped on the
body has not been altogether just. •
' ‘The convict bill which finally pass
ed the house and senate yesterday
morning, does not please me. It is
a very imperfect measure, and I did
not support it. It creates a lot of of
fices to be filled, and you can watch
and see if it does not become neces
sary for every legislature to make ap
propriations for the maintenance of
the farm.
‘•To buy the farm, erect buildings
and all appurtenances will require a
big sum. When the measure was first
introduced a man was on the floor
who made a proposition to take all
the women convicts in the state at
$36 each per year. Another man
wanted to take the boy convicts.
There are only 42 of their, two white
and 40 black.
‘‘The bill provides for three com
missioners at $2,000 each per annum
and a clerk at $1,500, so there is $7,500

in four offices. Besides their expenses
are paid by the state. Then you
must have people—guards, keepers,
doctors, etc., to look after this convict
home.
“But that is- not the worst of the
bill. It provides for the appointment
of about twenty inspectors to visit the
misdemeanor camps all over the state.
Take ft in Floyd, the grand jury meets
twice a year, and the camps are al
ways carefully inspected by a com
mittee from this body, and a faithful
report of conditions existing given.
Besides we have a splendid superin
tendent of the chaingaug who makes
his reports. Now there comes along a
kid-gloved dude smoking a cigar, He
takes a cursory glance at our camp,
seeing nothing of the real conditioi s
and goes away to report. That is
neither fair or right.
“These are the main objections to
the bill which becomes the law. There
are various minor details too tedious
to mention, I consider the measure
a bad one.”

COTTON MARKET STEADY.
For the Past Month Has Not Varied 10
Points Heavy.
The cotton market has shown a singu- 1
lar steadiness for the past month. It has
not varied 10 points, and if anything the
variation has been a shade for the better.
Marketing has been decidedly brisk
for the past few weeks. Thursday was
one of the biggest of the year in wagon
receipts here. The three principal ware
houses showed the following receipts for
that day:
Bass Bros. & Co., 140.
Rounsaville Bros., 238.
Coker & Co., 690.
A number of other parties use Coker’s

in not less than 400 bales Thursday.
