ing of Stanly county jail; the
Concord Standard says:
building, is said-to have been
the osafest jail in the State, so
lfar as escapes are concerned.
It was built of logs, a log wall
within a log wall, with chunks of
wood, knots and pieces of timber
fillea in between the two walls.
A man with an axe could not cut
his way Outin a month. When-
ever he cut a hole through the
inside log wall and remoyed one
of these chunks, another would
slip down in its place. He could
rever reach the outside wall to
ply his axe. It is the first and
only jail Stanly county ever had.
