PRISO> LABOR Governor Gardner's wisdom in stressing so vigorously the need tor utilization of the labor assets in North Carolina's State Prison is further emphasized *by the statement issued yesterday by Chairman W. D. LaRoque, of the prison board. He had this to say about the prison situation: "The State Prison Board does not desire to go into the highway contracting business, and hopes that the contractors of the State as a consequence will find it con venient and advisable to use pris on labor in the construction of highways. But if they do not, the prison may be compelled to enter the contracting field itself in or. der to keep its prisoners employ ed." In other words, the idleness of 600 men in the State Prison is something which should .not long continue and the prison board does not intend that it shall. The introduction of Industrial activity and new farming methods has served to give only 1,500 of the 2,100 prisoners work to do. The population of the prison is gain is absolutely necessary that some thing be done to keep the institu tion from becoming a financial burthen upon the State. Governor Gardner has made a thorough in vestigation of the situation and has the support of the board in his program to make the prison an expmple of "live at home'' agri culture and self-sustaining lndus Nearly all the other Southern States use prison labor on the highways and find it exceedingly profitable, In most instances prison labor is better than the average free worker because it is able to turn out more production. The^cost of free labor is some, thing that the State should not be forced to bear when its pris oners are becoming -j . Mhcml - liability.?Hickory'Record. There is absolutely no question to our mynh|rthnt in the lntenst of econ omy W t^e State, in thp. Interest of maki4 Ikison life a more deterrent the game'time giving more value to the public who has to foot the bills, the State prisoners should take over the road building aud maintenance of the State, elimlna. ting all county units. This would no doubt Increase the mileage of both for the same cost, and by eiimiiisting the farming interests and other such in terests except to the extent that it is necessary to feed and take dare of the prisoners would benefit other lines of endeavor. It would be a means of reducing taxes, by reason of a great er degree of maintenance for the tax dollar. U there is a deficit the State through its taxes has to pay it like wise^he State through its taxes and bond Issues pay for the roads. We believe the exercise of good business judgment would be for the State Pris on to take over all road work for the State both maintenance and construc tion. However, in the transfer of this work provision should be made to leave a portion of the power of relo cation or location of roads within Connty in the descretion of the Com missioners of that county. We tfclnk Mr. Chairman, your posi tion Is in the interest of the tax pay ers of thet State, and is in error only In that it doesn't go quite far enough. WILLIAM ALBERT COOKE (By J. O. Purnell) William Albert Cooke died at bis home near Pope's church Saturday, April 20. alter a brief illness. Altbo he had been In declining health for several years, his feebleness becom ing more apparent in tbe last few months and his friends were concern ed about him. Mr. Cooke was buried at the family cemetery on the Youngs, ville road, the services being conduc ted from the home by Rev. W. C. Ball, pastor of the Methodist church, as. slated by Rev. R. L Randolph, pastor of the Baptist church, and Rav. A. S. Barnes, Superintendc-nt of the Metho dist Orphanage, at Raleigh. The pall bearers were:' J. E. Whitfield, J.- R. Cooke. R. B. Holmes. H. M. Cooke, Al mus Mangum and C. C. Holmes, all members of the family. Mr. Cooke was born at what is known as the Dent place In Younggs vllle township, Sept. 10, 1800, but the most of his years were spent at the place of his death. So long did the family live there that It will be known for many coming years after his name. Mr. Cooke was known as "Doc" to the whole countryside, though a few of his younger friends called him affec tionately, "Mr. Will." He and his brother. Prank, Just two years his Junior, to a day, and his two sisters, Misses Vic and Mag, made up the Im mediate family. These four lived there together for years, one depending on the other for work, for Joy, and for happiness. There are two other mem. hers of the family. Mr. J. H. Cooke and Mrs. J. H. Whitfield, of Pranklln tAn, who were often In and out of the home, but the four, two brothers and two sisters, made their family. None of them was ever married. Mr. Will held a distinctive place in unity life. He was a good and a good friend. It la hard ? V Historian for Franklin County, who is actively engaged in arranging for the Celebration of the Sesqtil Centennial to be held in Louisburg, N. C., July 4th. 1929. ..... ? to write of bis life without dipping in to some of tbe Intimacies of our pei4 sonal relationship. Those whom he lcved, he trusted, and nothing he had va#_too good^for them. Sqch friepd. sliip as he gave Is scarcely equalled anywhere on earth. There was a way about it that made Itself known yet held Itself back. It was po self de preciating that the sweetness and the' Joy and the whoieeomenese of such a friendship is greatly to be praised. He will be missed in the community life but by none so much as by the little circle of three that he leaves behind. He was the oldest of them and they depended on him for many things. It will be hard for them to close fn ???IB the.gap made by his going. Peace to his ashes and loving submission by those who mourn their loss. The following people from out of town were here Sunday for the fun. eral: Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Stone, of Greens boro; Mrs. E. R. Messick, Mr. and Mis. Brinkley, Mr. J. E.
