NEGOTIATIONS ARE ON FOR THE
PURCHASE OF oUITMAN
COUNTY PROPERTY.
CONSISTS OF 5000 ACRES
Proposition For State To Take 5000
Acres Now and To Have Option
On 5000 Adjoining Acres At
Nominal Sum.
jackson.

While not yet officially announced.
1t Is known that in all probability the
new tract OF penitentiary land for
which the state officials have been ne
gotiating for some time past, to be
located somewhere in the delta" will
be In or near Lambert, in Quitman
County. .
The State officials charged with the
duty Of selecting the new penitentiary
land have had longing eyes on this
same tract, consisting of 5,009 acres,
but have held back from final closing
OF the deal for practical reasons. The
legislature limited the state to 5000
acres, and Gov. Bilbo and his advisors
have no authority to exceed that area.
1t happens that there is at Lambert q
body of 10000 acres, which was Of
fered to the state, but which for stat
utory reasons could not be accepted.
A proposition was made, however.
that the state agree to take at this
time the 5000 acres in fee simple, with
the understanding that the owner give
the state an option on the adjoining
5000 at a nominal sum of $25 an acre.
The fact that this tract of land is in a
body, and could therefore be more ex-
peditiously worked and managed, and
that the legislature in 1918 might see
its way to the direct purchase, prompt
ed the officials to make the optional
offer, which, as understood, has been
accepted and will be closed on the
terms suggested by the governor and
his advisors.
