Is Disease a Punishment for SIM

The following advertisement, pub
llshed by prominent western patent
medicine house, would indicated that
they regard disease as a punishment fol-
sin.
''Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This cap always be
done if you choose to, as nature In her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some i9discre=
ton, you are to be afflicted with cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon fol-
lowed by profuse watery expectoration
and the sHeeziRg by prQfuse watery
discharge from the nose. In severe cases
there is white, thin coating on the
tongue9 What todoP It is only peGes=

TOUGH TREATMENT
RECEIVED BY A SHORT TERM CONVICT
At McCree's Camp in LOWndeS County
His Death Likely TO Occur from
Injuries Received There
What He Saws,

Ben Laws, negro man "a years old,
son of the well-known old colored
woman, Martha FarTow. of this city, ar
rived home last Sunday from MeCree's
convict camp, near Valdosta, where last
Thursday he completed a four-moRth's
sentence from the county court of
Lowndes county, on charge of assault
and battery.
Laws is now at the home Of his
mother, in the rear of Watsons shops,
this city, confined to bed of great suf-
fering.
A reporter of the News and Adver-
tiser visited him yesterday morning, and
found him one of the most pitiable OBJ
jects he ever looked upon. His feet are
swollen to an enormous size from numer-
GUS stone bruises, his nose is continually
running blood from blows which he said
were given him on his head, and his
body is blistered and striped from his
heels to his head from free applications
of a four-pound strap. In number of
instances the wounds made by the latter
instrument are still Hphealed. In ex-
aiming his body, Laws had to be as
sisted to turn over in bed, so weak and
emaciated was he, and so painful his
wounds.
He informed the reporter that the con-
dition of his feet was due to the fact
that he was forced to go barefooted all
sorts of weather, and to walk on the
rough tufts of wiregrass while toiling in
the cOmpany's turpentiae farm. He
said in several instances when he was
logged. his hands and feet were tied and
he was otherwise rendered powerless by
having his neck placed between the rails
of worm fence-his head being on one
side of the fence and his body on the
other-and while in this position the
whipping boss piled the lash. Accord
ing to his statement he received at one
time one hundred and seventy-five
lashes. However sick he might be, and
when unable to go to the woods to work,
he was dragged out and made to shuck
corn. shell peas and do similar work.
His rations, he said, consisted of enough
molasses each day TO sweeteR a pint of
water, half pone of corn bread, q small
slice of fat bacon and four tablespoons
full OF rutabaga turnips. He never
knew what 1t was to have enough to eat,
and his emaciated and starved appear
ance was strong coroboratiog Of this
statement.
When turned loose last Thursday his
stripes were taken off and he was given
thin striped shirt and pair of com.
mon pants, and told to 60 He hobbled
with difficulty from the camp to Val
dosta, distance Of five miles, and there
his unfortunate condition caused several
sympathetic negroes to chip in enough
money TO send him home. Laws in
formed the reporter that the treatment
he received was no exception to the rule,
but that all the convicts Jared in about
the same manner
If his statement is true, and his con
dition indicates that 1t is, McCree's camp
deserves attention at the hands Of the
constituted authorities. From his ac-
count, the brutalities to which the in
mates Of the camp are subjected by

The lynching at New Orleans may re-

tions because of the fact that some of
the men killed were subjects of the king
of Italy. 1t is not likely to be anything
more serious, however, than demand

something of this kind. King Humbert's
