He was telling of an inter esting experience that the people" of his section, who .would build a rail road from his town to Hope Mills Cumberland county, are having ..wrUi the State penitentiary, A number of local roads in the Statef are working convicts from- the State prison. Last January, the Vir ginia & Carolina Southern, the road In question here, made application to tha State for convicts, offering to pay llSt for them. The etate declared fhat it nad no convicts available at that time. Again, in February or March, when the Legislature was in session, application was made with the mine result The road A was promised the first in hand, but none has been tendered yet. -r-4 . But those interested in the enter prise have secured fifty North. Laro Una convicts from outside 'contractors bv rivln them a raise of 15 per cent, a day on each man. In other words, Mr. MirLean clatms that mis -people are hiring North Carolina r- convicts from Florida contractors, who are at work In tWs State, for $1.22 ; 1-2 a day, instead of getting them direct from the State for the 11.50 offered. This makes interesting reading. Mr. McLean has no explanation for it, hut says that his people do not like the way they are being treated. SUCCESS OF JOHX WINDER.
