Tne counties are forced to main

number it convicts. The counties
are allowed to buy or lease farms
upon which both the misdemeanor
and felony convicts may be worked
in order to raise suppltes tor the
road work it mav be engaged upon.
Counties desiring to work their
quotr of felony convicts upon the
roads must notify the prison com
mission not later than Febriary 10
1909, and annually thereafter be
fore that date. After this first dis
tribution is made to counties desir
ing to work their quota, then coun
ties desiring to work more may ap
ply lo the commission and shall
have them without cost, except
that an equal amount of convii t
iabor is to he returned to the co m
ties furnishing the convicts whei
those counties are ready to won
their roads.
Two or more counties may com
bine into districts and worx tluir
convicts tognther, alternating in
the use of the gangs.
Tne pri-on commission, when in
funds, is to organize and equip
road gangs fir woiking roads in
counties not able to maintain their
own gangs.
Municipalities are mj he allowed to
hire any number of convicts the,
desire, at SIOO per year facin'
Tiie pri-on commission may,

al farms upon which to work cor,-
viets. Each state institution may
have the use of fifty convicts when
it desires them.
If any felony convicts remain
after these plans have exhausted,
he governor and the commission
may dispose of them (felony con
vi( ts only) as they think *the lest
interest of the state demands, b i
a period of not more than on yem
after March 31, and to no indiv
ual or corporation interested :n tli

perform per day.
The commission is made a bur
eau of information for road build

The revival meeting at Clover
dale lias closed after a two weeks
meeting and was ond of the best
series of meetings that was ever
h hi at this place. Tin re was fif
reen conversions during the meet
ing. Nine joined t lie Baptist. church
and weie baptised Sunday morning
The meeting was conducted by
Rev Humic and Brown, two earn
er! and faithful christiar.s.
The school at this place lias been
closen by the County School Super
pntendant under the ruling of the
Board of Education, where the at*
tendance runs below fifty per cent
to close the school. The rulfng is
very unjust and if such a rule had
boen applild to our schools here
for the 1 tt twenty years the schools
would all h tve been closed.
Almost fifty per cer)t ofjouratten
dance here are children whose par
ents are renters and they are mnv
ing almost every year and They
have not as much school interest
as they would have if limy owned
heir farms, therefore there is no
just ire in saying our children shall
he deprived of school whera the at
tendance falls below a certain per
cent. There are parents in every
community who are making sacri
fice- ans working hard to give their
children an education and such
parsons ought to h-tv* flic >untge
ment and are entitled to what is
justly due them. We need com
pulsory educ tion in Dade county,
then ike Board ot Education could
get behind that measure and force
an attendance, hut it cannot he done
under the present school law anp
such ruling as we have had is net
umservative, depriving a
of bright eyed boys and gif's tbc
right and priveiige due them.
The Board of Education ought
to recind such an act at once and
let the scho >ls continue.
