Raleigh, N. C, September, 22.)
The board of penitentiary directors
met again last night to discuss the ad
visability of leasing the penitentiary.
The offer of the syndicate of North Caro
linians was refused, nnd the offer of the
syndicate represented by Mr. John H.
Winder was considered, Governor Rus
sell approved of the offer with several
amendments. He said the control and
custody of the conyicts must remain with
the State agents. That the superinten
dent and board of directors must look
after the regulations of the management
of tlic convicts und appoint the guards etc.
I'hat the contractors shall pay the salaries

of like nature were laid before the board
In a letter from the Governor. -A com
mittee of three was anpointed. A, Y.
Sigman, W. II. Chadbourne and Wheeler
Martin to frame these amendments
which arc ready for the board today.
Chairman Dockery says he hesitates for
fenr of inhuman treatment of convicts.
That he proposes to pro.ect all radicals
both in stripes as well as out of stripes
The matter of disposing of the Castle
Wayne, farm was left to a committee
consisting of Superintendent Smith and
Mr. Chadbourne. The board had plenty
before it for its days work.
Dr. Kirby Smith is to re9ign as physi
ciau to the criminal insaue and Dr. Mc-
Gcachy who was one of the assistant
physicians at the insane asylum will
probably be appointed.
Mr. IJ. R, Harding fc so long the
Master Machinist of tbo S. A. L. shops
here died suddenly of heart disease nt
Clinton, lie left here Monday in his
usual health and was taken sick on the
train
The Raleigh Chamber of Commerce

Raney, president. Messrs. J. C. Drewry,
L. D Howell and W. II. Williamson the
three vice presidents. Mr. Frank Ward
Treasurer, Mr. George Allen, Secretary
and Mr. Oh us Pearson, assistant Secre
tary.
There Was quite a fire yesterday after
noon out near the cotton mills. The fact
that it was out of the city limits made it
hard to tight as hose had to be laid so fai
and direct pressure called for to get
water.
J. Y. Hamrick, Labor Commissioner
returned today from the Western part of
the State. He says there Is much activ.
ity in the marble district In Cherokee
county, whero there are 50 square miles
of marble. It is shipped to Georgia and
Tennessee, and pasted off as marble from
these states. Some of it was used in the
new library at Washington. There are
1,000 men mining in the talc district in
Cherokee, Swain, Macon and Clay.
There are many in the corumdum dis
trictsand a large number in the mica
mines, and copper mines. He now goes
east to get facts as to the trucking indus
try
Senator Butler's paper says the State
will repeal the charter of the Southern's
new line from Mocksville to Hoorcsville.
Senator Butler in his paper says that
Congressman Skinner has deserted his
party and betrayed bis people by sup
porting a gold bug for the U. S. Senate
etc.
The prices of cotton are so low that It
is said the farmers scarcely care wholter
they pick the crop or act.
It seems Impossible to get the families
of the officers of the penitentiary out. It
is a disgrace, the out! re muddle of affairs
out there.
