MR.. CLARK ON LEASING
THE PENITENTIARY.

To the editor of THE COMMONWEALTH
| 1t having been enormously reporte
that I had voted tor the lease of th
Penitentiary, desire to correct the re
port and ask space in your paper t
state my reasons for voting against tn
same as appears of record:
l. consider that any lease OF tn
Penitentiary would be illegal, as VI
have no authority in the act creatin,
our board of directors to make lease
and hence the matter should be lef
open Tor the next Legislature.
2. The option and term OF lease o
one of the farms will expire in tw,
years ; and as it is doubtful whether /
would be to the advantage of the Stat,
to purchase the Northampton farm
which lease expires in two years. ant
the option on the Halifax farm havlns
expired and the owners refusing {
renewal OF the option, I can't see how
we could perfect lease.
8. Superintendent Smith has lust
reported that his cotton crop would
bring him in $50, 900, with only debt
OF $55 900, full and ample supply OF
corn and fodder to run the farm an.
other year and having increased an
expense in purchasing horses and corn
and hay this year which we do not
have to expend next, what can be the
reason for lease?
4. The proposition is for us to re-
tain the non-producing farms, or rather
those that bring in little or no clear
proit-Castle Hayne and Wadesboro.
or Anson farms, and lease those in
Halifax and Northampton countles
from which we derive an income, and
that we pay for the support of the
crlminally Insane. This seems in the
face of our prospects of making more
than enough to pay expenses and debts,
bad policy and poor business. Super
intendent Smith stated to the board
that If they would turn over the crops
to him he would enter into a bond tn
pay all the debts up to the LIST. of Janu-
ary, 1898, and also release the State
from the payment of any salary for his
term of four years; and that he was
ready to give bond to carry out the
same In the sum of $4,000.
5. The Board refused to enter into
contract relative to Castle Hayne for
! longer term than 8 years. Then why
attempt to lease the other farms and |
Penitentiary building for twenty |
they urged that our term would expire
n three years as to Castle Hayne. then
Why exceed our term as to the others
6. The Legislature having placed 1t
n our hands to manage I can not see
Why we should desire to turn it over
o others. unless we are uneasy about
ne management. am satisfied if we
would manage it as economically and
N the same plan we would our own
property, We would have nothing. to
ear. l am for facing the matter and
loing the best can with it.
Very truly,
EDWARD T. CLARK.

patrons run a race to see who can steal

satisfied with the test and they want
butter at the same price thoy get their
milk, not willing to pay for the making.
A thousand and one things come up to

Then tho patrons must cooperate
