Pearman of the state penitentiary has accepted the proposal of the federal government to have one hundred prisoners sent from the federal penitentiary in Atlanta or from other nlaces where federal prisoners are kept, to the state prison here. Half of the men will he white and half black, and all will bo able-bodied. The federal penitentiary in Atlanta is crowded and the government proposes to farm out some of the men, paying KO cents for their board at the state prison. The federal government sytertftes that the prisoners it Kinds are to he given institutional work and not let out to contract. This ri (juirement, however, was unnecessniy, as South Carolina's penal system embodies no leasing of prisoners to other employers. Some of the men to lie sent by the federal prison are negroes and some white. Colonel Pear man proposes to work the white prisoners in the chair factory at the penitentiary, and the negroes will be sent to the stafe farms in Sumter county. John M.
