Fake City. Fia., Sept. that more or Da* Las barn said through ti e press about the present state convict aystrm. the supervisor of state convicts was interviewed on the subject as fol lows: "What about Tom Hammond s escape last week from ilo# convict camp?" "Why. he lock advantage of a thunder storm, and ran off from a guard under the shots of a Winchester rifle " "What about seven other convict# get ting away from the same camp within two days after*Vlammor.d' etcapeT’ "Not a word of truth In the report. The seven negroes escaped on Sunday night from Kl.lston -amp 30 or 73 rode# south of Neal's camp. The seven escaped by getting h id t f an o and auger-bit about the mine and boring through the floor of the cell and scratching under th# prison wall Tiaelr escape waa discovered In a few mlnut-e after, but the night was very dark ar.d it was raining, the prisoner* di vided as so *n as out, and the dogs would not run me trai:." "Is the percentage of escape* from the several camps very latge?" ' No.very small 1 will give you the correct figures. In the. month of January laat (lu re were 71*atate convlc s; only one escape that month, and that from the hilts on phosphate m,rx. frim which the seven negroes escaped last we* k. In February there were T2B convict*, and two escap-d from Floral city phnapl.a:* mines. "In March ihere were 709 stale convict* nn*l one eacatoed from Varn'* turpentine camp In Hernando county. In April there w-re 777 *onvlcts and one escaped from rapt. Hillman's turpentine camp In Ci trus county. In May there were 736 con vtcts. ur.d one reaped from Varn'* camp. !n June there w-re 7**7 slate convicts, and on esaa;ed from McKelthen'a phosphate mine In Alachua county. In July there were 777 state convicts, und live escaped: two from N*al's Ami*, one from" Collin*' and two from M-Kelthen'. Ho. you see. only twelve convicts escaped during the Aral seven months of this year from the whole number. Avery small percentage end will compare with any state In the Houth. Most of these twelve have been recapture,!." "loe# convict labor conflict materially with free labor?" "In answer to that I will aay: Only three weeks ago, on my last round of In spection among th* convict*. 1 noticed a gr-it many phosphate plant*, with thous ands of dollarff Invested In machinery and rock, shut down for want of labor to run them. I saw hundred* of aiVe* of tur pentine farms standing Idle, the crude gum running out on the ground for lack of labor, much of It having been boxed Inst winter, and for lack of labor the pine* had not been hack'd more than four to elx Inches above the box I believe that 5.000 men could be employed to-day were It possible to get them to work th* phosphate mines ami turpentine farms of Houth Florida: hut the labor cannot ho had. For proof of this as**flton write Varn A Cos.. Brooksvllln, who run three turpentine stills by free labor; W J Hill man * Cos.. Floral City, who #r* largely Interested In the manufacture of naval slot,", with free labor, as well as with convict labor; Knight A Martin; also Knight Bros , of Dunellon; Buttgenbach A Cos,, who employ hundred# of free l.ihorrr* In mining idiosphate In Alachua on.l Citrus counties." Do you think the state convicts ought to be worked on the public roads? "I do not. Now, my reasons: "By the time the present lease ha# ex pired at the ctnse of next year, there will doubtless be something over Ml *t#te con victs. There are forty-five counties In the state. To equally divide the convicts be tween th* counties which would he un just and Impracticable) wwuld give the counties about eighteen convicts each. To divide them according to population or the number furnished the state hy each" county, would of course give the large populated counties more and the small populated counties lees, but In either event the state convict* would be scattered thnxugho.it the state In every county. This would put the poor, unfortunate con victs without a shelter from the rain and cold and would of necessity greatly In cr.ase the esiien,* of keeping them. "You arc opposed, then, to state convict# bi-ini; Kuike.l on the public roau-, la.w would you dispose of them then? •'I would make some provision of law to t ike can of the old. the maltnnl ami :Lc lntirni convicts, and I would least, out ail the able-bodied laborer* In blocks of 50 or lest, te the hlgheat and beat bona tide bid der " "Why would you leasa them In block* of 50 or leas?" "Because Ih* *t*t* now gets 52i.9W per annum for all of them. The state now has an offer of four time* that amount, nr ftt.uOO per annum, for all of them, and by lattirr them out In block* of b) or lest, the eu!>le**ee* that ar* now gladly paying tU per month for them would compete in th# uiddlng with the large Md-lera and (he state would haro t.ie bweflt cf tha competition At 113 per month for iw con victs the slate wou-1 get |t.. , M per annum for them Tots would be more than flae time* what be state It now get ting Thl* t caused from the Increased demand for labor .Had not from any fault of the Board of HiOtr Institution*.
