THE PENITENTIARY DIRECTORS.
The Question of Election of superintendent
May Come up Today.

The penitentiary directors met yester-
day morning, were in session during the
afternoon and again last night.
Only routine business was transacted
and certain rules adopted for management
of the institution.
AT neither meeting was the subject
of election of a superintendent mention
ed. That may come up at today's meet
ing. Four names are mentioned in con-
nection with the superintendency:
j. A. Long, Of Alamance; A. LeaZar of
Iredell; ]. L. Gwaltney, of Alexander; j..
Y Jordan, of Buncombe
1t is intimated that some man not yet
mentioned may be chosen.
The directors are already putting on
force business rules for the management
of the penitentiary and the prospects are
that they will soon be running it on the
most economical basis possible.
One reform they decided on yesterday
was that all acquisitions for supplies to
be purchased each month must be in by
the first of the month and passed on by
he directors. Heretofore purchases have
been made at any time and it was inn
possible to tell with any accuracy what
it was costing to maintain each prisoner
or just where there ought to be reduc-
tion of expenses.
other siminal business rules are being
adopted for the prison here and the
