It is the intention of the commission ah present, it is said, to erect temporary, quarters for the convicts as soon as the - farm is purchased, and then, as soon as it is practicable, to begin the erec tion of a permanent brick penitentiary, modem in all its details and capable of housing as many as 1,000 convicts. The commission, it is said, is influ enced to take this step because there many artisans among the white convicts, who can be employed ln build ing the penitentiary without cost to the state. This will not hamper the worlt which it is proposed to db on the farm; because there will be- some months in tho year when very little farm work. can be done. For |the purpose of getting infor-■ malion as to the probable number of convicts which may be at the- disposal' of the commission in doing 'the pro- ■ posed work, queries have been sent’ to* all tho convict camps asking the nurwA ber of carpenters, brick masons, ect., now confined in each. The commission, in company with Governor Smith, is engaged this week: in looking over the descriptions of the' tracts offered the stale for the location 1 of the prison farm, and it is probablo thut the purchase will be made within the nex! few days.
