April ll.-Editor Keowee Courkr: lt seems like get ting a letter from home and all of the\ people In the surrounding country vhen 1 get The Courier every Thurs day. I get letters from my better half on Tuesdays and Fridays, and between Gie two I keep in cluan touch with the times In Oconee. . This is Easter Sunday, and is a fine day, but a little windy. I am located In Crisp county. 1 have been appointed prison warden for this county by the State Prison Commission of Atlanta and Road Su perintendent by the Crisp Commis sioners, so If I behave myself and keep my health 1 may stay here for some time. I have n> good job that pays me $100 a month sud all ex penses. I have eighteen convicts In the cami) and several free men. The most of the free men are from Wal halla. W. P. Powell ls my night watchman, .lames D. Hays. Harmon Kell and M. W. Carter are some of the machine men. I have a large 22 h-p. Port Huron engine and two heavy steel Champion road ma chines, and we are plowing up the ground and making some good roads. This ls a fine farming country for cotton, sugar cane, peanuts and po tatoes. They raise peanuts to fatten their hogs. Everybody ls through planting corn, and some are working it ovf>r Cotton ls about all planted and a lot of it is up to a good stand. Everything ls green. Potato slips are up and ready to set out, and some new Irish potatoes are begin ning to come on the market, and we will soon have plenty of cabbage and beans. I bought forty pounds of fish last night for an Easter treat for those in the camp. It Is a real in spiration to hear the convicts sing ing at nights and on Sundays. Some times lt makes me feel like being a convict, so I could enter Into their music, but when lt comes to the stripes and straps I would object, for I have to use the strap quite severely at times. The mosquitoes will be out soon. Oconee people cannot realize what this pest really ls. A man from our part of the country can scarcely en dure them. So far, however, they have not bo chared us much.

Out of mischief one of the employes of the baggage room crawled Into the collin box and drew the lld down. No sooner was he concealed than a young colored man with a jaunty swagger and tuneful whistle came ?long and wishing to rest settled comfortably on the cask et. He fell asleep and was awakened by a diatresBlngfi moan. The moan was repeated, and then somebody said: "Oh-o-? Please get off my dead body." The negro granted the re quest at once. With a blood-curdling yell he leaped into the air sud sped away. He attempted to cross the bridge, but Cy Smith, fearing that In his fenzy, he would leap into the watery depth below, blocked the way. Unable to cross the river, the colored man sprinted to the railroad yards, and when last seen was passing the coal mine and still going South. An Invitation.
