CONVICT LABOR.
The recent trouble in the mining
region of Tennessee, growing out of
the introduction of convict labor
leased from the State by two of the
companies operating mines, has
again called attention to the subject
of convict labor and how it should
be employed.
In many of the States, and per
haps in all of them, there are, or
have been, laws providing for the
hiring out of convicts, the object be
ing to make the penitentiaries as
nearly self-sustaining as possible.
Where they are not hired out they
are put to work in the penitentiaries,
making boots . and shoes, buckets,
barrels, wagons, and other things
which find a ready sale. Sometimes
these penitentiary shops are leased
by companies which emplqy convicts
altogether, which they get at
a very low figure.- But public sen
timent has become so strong not
only against this but against the
State employing its convicts to com
pete with honest Tabor, and it has
been so generally denounced by the
labor organizations of the country
that there is now much less of it
done than there once was.
North Carolina comes as near hand
ling her convicts so as to make-
-
them self-sustaining without giving
grounds for offence to the men who
earn their living by manual labor, as
any State we know of, for here those
who are hired out are hired to grade
railroads, thus encouraging the buil
ding of railroads; others are employ
ed in digging ditches to drain swamps
the land ot which when drained may
be utilized for agricultural purposes;
others are employed on the State
farms where a considerable portion
if not all the provisions used in the
penitentary are raised, while some
are employed, in making brick and
others in making shoes. But. there
are not enough of either of these
employed to seriously interfere with
other labor.
There are ways, however, by which
the convicts of every State, without
coming into opposition with other la
bor, may not only be made self-sus
taining but profitable in the end, if
not now. Some of the Northern
States, and nearly if not all of the
Southern States, have swamp lands,
much of which can be drained and
would be valuable when drained.
North Carolina has about 3,000
square miles, less what she has put
up and sold for a ridiculously insig
nificant price. Drained, or the tim
ber on it utilized, it' would have
brought dollars per acre where 'it
"brought cents.
Florida practically gave away mil
lions of acres, out of which enter
prising Northern men will realize
millions of dollars.
There is no State North or South
which does not need better public
roads than it has, while in many of
them, North Carolina among the
number, the public roads are a pub-
lie scandal. v t '
Isn't there a field in this for - the
profitable use of convict labor? .
Wouldn't every mile of macadam
ized road constructed1 add ' some
thing to the value of the land through
which it rarr, from which the State
would derive increased taxes?
. Wouldn't it also result in the cul
tivation of more land, adding to the
production and the; wealth of the
people? j f
Wouldn't it result, also, in the
opening up of more of the forest
a tea and mineral lands, making
them productive of i more wealth to
the people and the; State?
Turnpikes running from the prin
cipal cities to the borders of the
State would be the next thing to
railroads, and as "feeders to the
railroads would be of incalculable
value. All this could be done with
m a reasonable time, and by proper
management at a very small outlay
of money. There is not a county
through which these turnpikes would
run which would ;not freely guaran
tee to feed and provide housing for
the convicts employed on the work
within the county borders, and thus
the State would be at no expense in
providing for their support.
There was during the last session
of the' Legislature of Missouri a bill
before it providing; for the employ
ment of the State's convicts in the
construction of jtwp or : more great
turnpikes, (called boulevards in the
bill) to run clear through the State,
one . north and south, the other east
and west. It was favorably consid-
ered in one House, but whether it
finally passed ior not we do not
know. ;
There was also a bill before the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, pro
posing to appropriate $6,000,000 for
the improvement of the public roads:
Whether this passed or not we do
not know, but it seemed to meet with
favor and was strongly supported by
some of the leading papers m the
State. This shows, whether these
bills passed or; not, that there are
people in those States who realize
the value and importance of good
public highways, which are, next to
railroads, the great internal de
velopers. The; State which has good
railroad facilities and good country
roads is on the highway to pros
perity; the State which has good rail
roaas, witn poor country - roads is
but half equipped; the State that has
neither is in a bad fix, in these days
of push and progress.
We have here pointed out two of
the ways in which State convicts
might be employed without coming
into competition .with other labor,
and at the same time be a source of
profit to the people and to the State.
l nere are otners, to which we may
hereafter refer!.
MINOR MEHTIOff.
l exas is a great Mate, an empire
within herself, and one whose possi
bilities cannot be estimated or con
ceived because she is yet, with all
her wonderful progress, but on the
threshold of her development. But
a few years ago her great and about
her only industry which attracted
attentionVas cattle and sheep rais
ing, her immense and cheap pasture
range making this a profitable and
and inviting business. She had not
ever attained a respectable standing
as an agricultural State although
classed as such. While the cattle
and sheep, raising industry is still a
great one, it is not the only great
one, for she is bounding to the front
both as an agricultural and manu
facturing State i and is destined
to reach the front rank in both.
Ten years ago her population was a
million and a half, now it is about
two millions and a half. r: Then the
assessed valuation of her property
was $200 per capita; now, with her
increased population, it amounts to
$350 per capita, or nearly double.
i ne vaiue oi ner agricultural pro
ducts this year is estimated at $200,-
000,000 and yet not one-sixth of her
arable land is under cultivation,
The products of her mines, forests.
and manufactures it is estimated will
amount to $50,000,000 more, mak
ing thi? year's. products worth $250,-
000,000, which would make a pro
duct oi ,5gouu, per capita to every
man in the State, estimating the
men at one-fifth of the population,
She exports much of her wheat and
other grain direct to Europe from
Galveston,' which means the building
up of her shipping interests. In addi
tion to all this she has vast deposits of
iron and cbal underlying 25.000,000
acres, a iracr. large enough to em
brace- three-fourths of North Caro
una, wnere iron ana otner manutac- mink oi nenry m. Stanley me
turing towns are springing up which I ander4ng all over the central region
promise to become great centers of
industry. She has other minerals,
large quarries of various kinds of
buildiner stones, find to supply her
lumber it is estimated that she has
in her forests 70,000,000,000 feet of
timber standing. With such progress,
such an output; such resources, and
such possibilities, no one will dispute
that' Texas is a great State. But
Texas occupies only; one remote
corner of the South.
in some of his speeches while m
.sa
the South trying to build up a third
party, Congressman Simpson, of
Kansas, denounced Hon. Wm. Mc
Kinley, of Ohio, and his tariff bill,
and declared that he was going to
Ohio in the Fall and would do all he
could to help defeat ' McKinley. If
Mr. Simpson -'and others who are
co-operating with him in this third
party blunder were . level-headed
patriotic citizens they would join
forces heartily with the Democracy
and help it to wipe out McKinleyism
and scores of other abuses, of which
the toiling millions of this country
have been justly complaining, against
which the Democratic party has
been honestly, patriotically contend
ing for years. Now with a stupidity, if
not treachery, almost inconceivable,
when the Democracy has secured
control of one House of the Con
gress, with fair prospects of securing
the Presidency and in the near fu
ture the other House of the Con
gress, these malcontents become
vociferous for a new party, run the
risk of losing all they have gained
and of defeating forever the objects
which they profess to have at heart,
If they get every vote they expect
to get they couldn't elect a Presi
dent next year. If they get every
vote they expect to get they couldn't
elect a majority of Representatives
in Congress, and if they hold to
gether and get every vote they ex
pect to get it would be many years
before they could count a majority
of United States Senators. In view
of these facts there is something
worse than, mere stupidity in this
movement.
Mr. Cleveland didn't eet in much"
politics in his speech at the Sandwich
banquet, Saturday, but he did get in
some right good hard sense in what
he did say. He has the happy facul
ty, however, of doing that. One of
the penalties of a high and respon
sible position is to encounter criti
cism, sometimes severe and unjust,
as Mr. Cleveland says, but instead of
complaining at this, as some do, he
deems it a cause of congratulation to
the people that their public servants
are so closely watched and held
to accountability, and that it is
better for them and for the people
yhom they serve that their critics
should be too severe - rather than too
lax; He indulged at some length,
with much point . and a dash
oi humor, in discussing tne uses
to which ex-Presidents should be
put, or rather the various uses to
which various people think they
should be put, but unfortunately he
didn't settle that question and ex-

on everything, take an active part
in politics, take no part in politics,
attend country fairs, &c, as adver
tisements, not attend country fairs,
&c, to simply exist or not simply

however, which he did show, which
is that it is his opinion that an ex-
President should be permitted to
lead a quiet life like any other pri

should be respected as any other
private citizen if he behaves himself,
and does not forfeit respect.
STATE TOPICS.
Road-making, and rock-crushing
machines are now in use in several
counties in this State and seem to
given much satisfaction! The road
machines, drawn by horses, will do
the work of twenty men and do it
better, cutting evenly and leveling
up nicely, while the rock crushers
will crush rocks to the size of wal
nuts as last as a couple of men can
shovel them in. One of these has re
cently been purchased by Wake
county to be used in crushing rock for
the public roads, and they are mak
ing big calculations upon it. Meck
lenburg county nas had one in use
for some time, with which and the
force of convicts she has employed
she is making good macadamized
roads and will have when the work
is completed one of the best systems
of roads ! to be found anywhere in
this section of terra firma. And it
isn't costing her very much money,
either. If other counties adjoining
Mecklenburg would co-operate, these
roads might be extended and even
tually become great tarn pikes. V

HOW FISH HOOKS ARE MADE.
Some Points of Interest to Anglers Con
cerning the -Manufacture of Their
Weapons.
The making Of fish hooks is not
merely a trade in itself; anglers con
sider that it is properly speaking an
art. in England the best ones are
made, because all manufactures of
steel excel in that country, where
every product of that material, from
razors down, is beyond compare.
Hooks of the first quality are made
from the very best cast-steel wire,
which is turned out in coils of Shef
field and Birmingham:
1 he first process is to cut the
wire into lengths suitable tor the
hooks to be made. . Ordinary sizes
are chopped off by the quantity with
a machine, but the big ones for use
m catching sharks and other big sea
I fishes are cut singly with a hammer
and chisel. After the lengths ot wire
have been cut off. another operator
takes them and turns up the barbs by
cutting into the yet sott metal with
a knife upon an anvil. Next the
straight pieces are taken in hand
by a workman who files the points
to keenness. Where the best hooks
are concerned each one is manipu
lated separately, being held m
bmcers while the necessary sharp
ness is given by a few dexterous
Strokes. Common hooks are pointed
with one file, but the finer sorts re
quire the application of two or three
of different degrees of coarseness.
The points once made, another
workman takes the bits of wire in
hand, bending them round in a
curved piece of steel, so that each
one shall nave the characteristic
flexure which makes the type of
hook desired. The process of form
ing the instrument is now completed,
save tor tne shank, wmcn may
either be a loop at the end of the
wire or a flattening at the extremity.
The flattening is done by one sharp
blow with a hammer upon an anvil.
The final process is the tempering
Of the hooks to harden them, and
when all these operations have been
completed they are scoured in re
volving barrels driven by steam
power and filled with water and soft
soap. When the friction has worn
them bright they are dried in an-
other revolving barrel containing
sawdust.
In old times fishermen made their
own hooks, using very much the
same methods as are now practiced
on a large scale in the factories. It
is a very curious fact that during the
bronze age, when metals had first
come into use, fish hooks had the
same forms as now, even to the
shanks and curves. The famous
"Limerick" and 'Shaughnessy"
bends are absolute reproductions of
those preferred in that early epoch.
POLITICAL POINTS.
If Foraker persists in thrusting
his senatorial claims into the Ohio cam
paign he will about neutralize any ad
vantage that the Republicans may de
rive from the facf that the Democratic
party in Hamilton county is controlled
chiefly by thieves. New York Adver
tiser, Dem.
Savage warfare is declared in
Ohio between Firebrand Foraker and
Senator bherman. Besides this interest
ing little scrap Mr. Foraker enjoys the
cordial animosity of President Harrison.
Between the two great politicians they
are liable to lay the impetuous young
man out cold in the next round.

well merits publicity in this season of
