The. past fall and winter- months, with their increase in unemployixient, have resulted in increasing the prison population of the state from a fourth to a' third, according to estitnates made by prison officials of 'Nor til Car olina. This applies alike to the; pri. oners sent to -the convict, cam pa c the counties for minor infractions a the law and to the state prison, when the prisoners charged with mote Hat grant violations of the law are pun ished. r - .

' "p The heavy increase In the prison population of state prison, together with the bad weather during thej pa'st three months, has-made it impossible for the , prison authorities to collect the full amount tb:y should have col lected from prisoners who have been hired out on , contract. The jprison gets $1.75 per day for every working day, .but the prisoners have to he fed and clothed no mattsr whethek' they work or not. And the convicts jscerr: to eat'just as much when they do n:;t ten - SADIfJil, BiliE' they are at work.
