Working Idle Convicts and a Canal Drain Plan
The Dunklin County Democrat argues idle convicts could be used on public works, proposing a plan to drain swamps via a 25 mile canal from Big Lake toward the Arkansas line. It suggests a temporary penitentiary, a farm, and a tax on land to fund the project, claiming broad regional legislative support and long term state benefit. The piece also includes a biographical aside about John Pounds, a benevolent cobbler who taught poor children.
