also on this floor. Down stairs is
the dining hall and Svo largo
rooms for the prisoners and a
small one for tho guard. 1t is the
purpose to keep the children who
are sent to the psnitentiary apart
from the older and more hardened
criminals so AZ they grow up and
serve out their sentences thsy will
not be turned loose on the cons
munity as criminals, but if pos
sibIe they will bs made into bet

something of tho penalties which
attach to crime will try to lead
better lives. Something of the
kind should have been done long
ago.
Speaking of the Penitentiarv
Capt Griffith tells me that the net
earnings Of the institution for tho
present year will be in the neigh
horhood Of $25, 900. He will not
turn over to the State any cash,
but it iS the same thing rs it will
be put in permanent improvements
which were very much needed.
The prison is being rebuilt at a
cost of about $4,000. In addi-
tlOn to this new roof has been
put on the hosiery mill, the re-
formatory on the Lexington farm
has been built aud good many
improvements uere made on the
State farm. All these made .
total of about $40, coo and he will
have about $4,000 left. This
would have been turned into tho
State treasury, but for these per
manent improvements which were
an almost absolute necessity. In
addition to this there has been
enough corn and wheat and oat.
and hay and potatoes and all the
nscsssaries raised on the farms to
run the institution until another
crop is harvested. This it seems
to me is very good showing
