EIGHTH BIENNIAL REPORT. ' 91 state convict farm. Raleigh, X. C., December 29, 1900. Dr. George G. Thomas, President State Board of Health, Doctor:—In obedience to your direction, I visited the State Farms in Halifax county, N. C., known as Caledonia, Nos. 1, 2 and 3, to make the biennial inspection required by law, with Dr. Henry W. Lewis, of Jackson, N. C. I reached the farms on the night of December 27th, made the inspection December 28th, and reached home December 29th. Dr. Lewis came down to the river on the morning of the 28th and found the ferry-boat lodged in the mud away from the bank, where it could not be reached or moved with any available force, and after remaining there until about 3 p. m., returned home, and I made the inspection without his assistance, but cordially supported by Messrs. C. J. Rhem, in charge of Camp Xo. 2, J. H. Mclver, in charge of Camp Xo. 1, and the second in command of Camp Xo. 3, in charge of C. X. Christian, who was absent. And of said inspection I have the honor to report as follows : No. 2, Captain C. J. Rhem, ninety-two convicts, confined within a stockade at night, covering an area of about four acres. The sleeping dormitories, 30 x 75 feet, 12 feet pitch, ceiled overhead and roofed with tin. In each of these dormitories were sixty double bunks, in barrack form, heated with two stoves, lighted by twelve windows, ventilated through centre of ceiling and apex of roof, only one dormitory in use. Dining-room, 30 x 90 feet, 12 feet pitch. Seats and narrow plank tables to full capacity of convicts, and two small plain closets. Light and ventilation as in dormitories. Hospital, 30 x 42, lighted and ventilated as dormitories, one drug-room inclosed, one dispensing closet. Eight beds, wooden frame and slats, mattresses made on the grounds. Patients, two, one suffering from malaria, the other from a cut. Four have died during the past two j^ears, two in 1899 and two in 1900. The laundry is 10 x 15 feet. The cook-room, 17 x 35 feet, contains a large iron boiler, oven and stove, in and on which the food of the convicts and patients in hospital is prepared. The building is rough and the oven needs repairs. I have seen cleaner places, but the food was of good quality and seemed to be well prepared. The quartermaster and commissary occupy the same room, 2-1 x 30 feet, adjoining the kitchen. The wash-room and bath-room are consolidated, 24 x 30 feet. Three large iron kettles are used to heat water for both purposes; a dozen tubs or half barrels are used for bathing on Sundays, in which all are required to participate, and new convicts immediately upon their arrival upon the grounds. The dairy, very crude, is 10 x 12 feet. The smoke-house is 14 x 20 feet, and the w^ork-shop 14 x 34 feet.
