I posIUon than te northern to progress fa8t in roadmokinff; for nearly nil of them have adopted in some form the system of employing convict labor for highway construction. North Carolina was the leader ln this work and now puts ail county and all tate convicts sentenced for a less term than ten years at work, in rondbuildlng. South - STSi'SiS i in nessee, Alabama and Georgia, county and many state convicts are thus work ed. A movement is bcinff made to est- tend the fcystem in these three states and to adopt it in Virginia. The arguments in favor of this em ployment of convicts are that it does avray with the great expense of large penitentiaries, is healthier and better for convicts andr more humane, too. takes them away from competition with free labor to the greatest possible degree, enables the county or state to build greatly needed highways at low cost and thus makes their labor of ben efit to the.publlc, which has been put to expeilse by their crimes. The cost of convict labor on the public. roads ln tbe south varies from 22 to 30 cents a day, says the Boston Herald. This in eludes their food and clothing and cure. In the states where it is used a sys tem or convict 'camps, with movable prison houses, is provided. There are al ways an overseer and sufficient armed guards tojoofc after the pang.
