DECREASK IN riUSUNKRS
The report of Captain Herring superin-
tendent discloses a material decrease In
the prison population. On September I. j
lwt 3Mt were on nana as against 34bt
August 31 last a net decrease of XkS. The
leadt nu in her on hand was on April X
1908. when tlie prisoners numbered ?.V2j.
More t hnn half. b Ai per cent of the
prison population are negroes. The
whites aru next with 31.59. The Mexican
are represented by 1 1 06 per cent while
only .W per cent are Indians. For the
two years ending August 31. 19ni. :30S 1
prisoners were received and lit 17 discharg-
ed while fur the last two years the re-
ceipts were r.7i. and 1x71 were discharged
'Ml of which were pardoned hy tsuvernor
C&mpbeU. The pardons averaged & 1V-U
a month. Thirteen paroles were granted.
Of the In prisoners who escaped were
recaptured making the net number of es-
capes 124 Discussing this subject the re-
port says:
"On the face of the statistics It would
appear that this administration has not
been as diligent as former ines in the
guarding and retention of convicts. How-
ever the excess can be very reasonably
accounted for by tlie fad that there are
a much larger propori ion of convicts
employed on tlie farms and railroads In
const rm l iun for the State than was em-
ployed at any other hlnennial prlod. The
opportunities for escaie are much better
than when the convict Is employe with-
in the confines of the walls. I have en-
deavored to exercise every possible pre-
caution to avoid the escapes attendant to
the working uf convicts at outside labor
and fs-el that our record Is not entirely
without a Justifiable excuse in its ap-
parent Increase."
The death rate is In excess of the pre-
vious two years being 10 as against 13).
an Increase of 41. Tills was caused by an
epidemic uf pneumonia during November

Captain Herring takes up the question
of operating the lease and share farms
with convict labor and opposes tlie sys-
tem In the following language:
"I am optoosed to t lie lease and share
system and recommend that it be abol-
ished when same can be done by work-
ing the convicts on lands owned by the
State fmt th State does not own enough
land to employ all convicts on hand
neither can we find employment In the
penitentiaries for all convict labor. To
utilise this labor upon the Stnte account
would be almost imposHlhte without en-
larging the penitentiaries or buying more
lands to work thern on. Owing to the
strinarny of the times we could not at
this period make extensive purchases of
additional lands or enlargements of the
penitenttlaries. Willie . we have some
convicts leased or hired they are under
the direct supervision of the penitentiary
management. The State employs the ser-
f eants and guards physicians to attend
hem. besides feeding and clothing them.
The superintendents and Inspectors visit
these camps often and they are under
the; same care and protection as con-
victs working on the State account.
Abuses on contract share farms and rail-
road forces are no more tolerated than
on farms workeri on the State account;
in fact. It Is my purpose and policy that
all the convicts lie properly and humanely
treated and I have In every Instance en-
deavored to avoid discrimination and
those who hava charge of them well
know that If the rules are violated which
govern the treatment of convicts they
muv abide the "onHequences and be per-
emptorily dismissed from the service.
"In the appointment of sergeants T
nave selected men whom I believed would
be most suited to the places and adapted
to the characteristics peculiar to the sur-
roundings. I have made It a point
throughout the entire- system to retire in-
competent and unworthy men If such
were found.
"I have always advocated paying the
guards better salaries for their services
and In this connection I think that the
Thirtieth legislature acted wisely In enact-
ing and passing the law increasing In
salaries of the guards from $2f to 130 a
month as It has remitted in Increasing
the efficiency and personnel of tho guard
force and in the handling of convicts
this class of men is much desired.
RWVIEIV OF INSTITITTIOK?.
Th various Institutions of the system
are reviewed and Buperlntendent Her-
ring takes occasion to laud Assistant Su-
perintendent R. H. Underwood in charge
of th HuntiYille penitentiary for his
excellent services. In reviewing the con-
ditions at East ham fern. No. 2 where
fen1e convicts are worked ha says:

industry these women could be profita-
bly employed In the manufacture of
goods for the us of the penitentiary sys-
tem thereby obviating the necessity of
their doing) heavy outdoor work and
being exposed to the Inclemencies of the
weather.
Tn discussing th Iron Industry the re-
port of the superintendent says:
"Conditions for the last year have been
most unfavorable to a profitable produc-
tion of Iron. In fact there has been only
a limited demand for pig iron. The prices
have been very low and In order to dis-
pose of pijr iron It became necessary to
manufacture the greater portion of it Into
cast-iron pipe for which there was a lim-
ited demand at a close figure. Under
these conditions the furnace was not In
blast full tinie Aootiier obstacle encoun-
tered In addition to small demand and
low prices growing out of the money
panic and general depressed conditions
was an increase In Interstate freight
rates thereby materially increasing the
price of manufacturing Iron. As an In-
stance attention Is called to the advance
In rates on coke all of which Is obtained
from outside the State and when the
furnace is in full blast 100 to 150 tons per
day are required
"The freight rate on coke Is now tl a
ton higher thtyn heretofore and a like in-
crease applies' to all interstate shipments.
At this time there is but one line of rail-
road the Cotton Belt running Into Rusk.
where the blast furnace Is located thus
depriving the Iron Industry of shorter
hauls and competitive freight rates. These
conditions will soon be overcoms for In a
short time the Tex a and New Orleans
railroad will be completed Into Rusk
which will give direct connection to New
Orleans ana gulf ports and with Dallas

BUILDING A RAILROAD.
The Stale La also engaged in building
a line of railroad from Rusk to Pales-
tine a distance of thirty-one mile to a
connection with the International and
Oreat Northern railroad. This line will
reach completion and be In operation
within the next few months. With the
completion of these lines into Rusk the
State will share In the advantages and
savings made possible by this competition
and with the return of better financial
conditions and a consequent better de-
mand for Iron products. It Is hoped that
the iron Industry may be carried on at
full capacity and at a profit to the State."
In conclusion the superintendent's re-
port rays:
and other northern points
advocacy of the abolition of the lease
system and I have under different cap-
tions endeavored to show both by figures
and explanations the grounds whereon I
have seen fit to discourage a further
practice of the system. However I fully
realise that this question Is confronted bv
Innumerable points of opposition mainly
of which is the financial condition of the
system which necessarily forbids the pur-
chase of any more lands for cultivation
purposes or the acquirement of needed
additions for the enlargement of the sev-
eral Industries within the walls. Be this
as It may. it behooves men to suggest
to your honorable body that some course
be outlined and adopted wherein the pen-
itentiary system may be enabled to make
further purchases of lands and the pay-
ment thereon to be settled by s part of
the crops cultivated from these purchases.
1 wuuld ask that you give this subject
your careful consideration and that you
Inquire Into and Investigate the feasl-
hillty of securing more lands.".
