Rush to the State prison. Rush es-
capped from the prison in August, 1897,
and has been at large ever since.
Day before yesterday another con
Wet, Frank Rush, was recaptured at
Rutherfordton. He had escaped from
the penitentiary in 1889 and was
brought back after ten years of lib
erty to serve out his old sentence.
The open weather has enabled the
penitentiary farms to catch up with
their work in a measure. Some de-
Law has been caused by difficulty in
securing fertilizers. Planting will be
finished next week. The farm mama
gers have planted this year to grow
1000 bales of cotton.
