Lindsay sent up an amendment to
strike out 5000.
Adams said tnis was a death blow at
he penitentiary from which il would
not recover in the next ten years.

amendment unadvisediy. The law
said the penisentiary should
be self-sustaining, and just as
long as We keep on giving this
| institution money just SD long will We
be compelled to do so.
McCaskey said the amount asked for
was absolutely necessary. This was tie
| only State institution that has ben
refused all lt asked Tor.
Paddson said he thought this the
most reasonable and moderate appro-
priation that the General Assembly
will have made.

debt the institution owes and let it
take care of itself for the next two
years, by economy in it farming inter
prlses.

State.

| ment.
IIamrick said we must either max
this appropriation or turn our convictS
out. They can't be kept in the peni-
| tentiary and not feed them.
| StarbuCk said he understood there
was $4,000 worth Of property on the
| farms in cotton and other crops and
brick, and with $4,000 more the insti-
tuition might bridge over until this
property could be sold.
The question recurred upon Far
things amendment, upon which Mar
