Pickens’ Convicts
Will Dwell in
Marble Halls
A dream that you "dwelt in
marble halls” will probably be a
sign of a guilty conscience in Pick
ens county, because Pickens coun
ty is going to have a marbe con
vict stockade.
The building will be constructed
of Georgia marble, to be given to
the state by Sam Tate, whose
large quarries in that section have
yielded slabs for many public
buildings.
State Senator Lee Purcfom and
Representative E. L. Almand, who
are investigating prison conditions
on legislative authority, told of
plans for the structure. Mr. Pur
dom said with the marble a gift,
the entire cost of constrhction will
be less than that for a similar
brick buliding.
