and beardless boys; strong men and crlpples.
They we're under guard OF United States
soldiers, and on thei: way to The Albany Peni-
tentiary to serve out a term of imprlson ment.
All OF them protessed to be farmers or farm
workmen, and their sunburned faces and
hardened hands gave proof OF 1t.
The terms Of imprisonment are: three for
ten years, and $1,000 fine; six, eight years and
sl00 fine; TWO. iour years and 500 fine; one,
four years and $500 fine; three, three years

All of these men lived Ia York County, S.

law was declared last October. Some OF them
have already been imprisoned tor months.

A reporter went on board the Champion,
and found the prisoners slowed away between

story:
When martial law was declared last October,
no outrages had been committed for year,
and none siuce, In our county at least. But
the military authorities have been making ar
rests for the past eight months. The prisoners
are taken before Judge Bond, In the United
States Circuit Court, aud the charges are alike

having been, members OF the kn-klnx, and
are told that this can be proven by members
of the tan, who are witnesses tor the prosecu-
tion, and advised to plead guilty 10 mitigate
their punishment.
