WANTS A WHIPPING POST.
A Merchant Whe Relieves the Whip. ping Post to Be Prevent
 ative for Misdemea-
n0rs

Ths lash was applied to an offen- der against city ordinance with good effect this morning. The gen tleman who used the lash was one of our most prominent business men and the man on whose back it was applied was one of his employees.
 The facts in the case of the whip ping are about as follows:
 For some time past the employe of the business man has been in the habit of getting on a periodical spree and disturbing the peace of the city. For the offense, in every instance, he was arrested and carried before the police court, where he was fined for being drunk and diserderly. Not having the money with which to pay his fine he has invariably been com pelled to call on his employer to keep him from being placed on the chain gang"
 Yesterday the man again drank until he was intoxicated He was arrested and carried before Judge Brown, who fined him $5. The offen- der informed the court that his em- ployer would again pay his fine and an officer was sent with him to the business house of the merchant to collect the fine. On their arrival the merchant fatly refused to again ''put up" for his employe and told the officer to take him to jail. The offen- der begged his employer most pitt fully to pay his fine, and finally the who has naturally a kind heart, said: 'I have paid you out of trouble time and again, and I am now tired of it; but on one condition will l help you again. Which would you rather do, receive a se- were flashing or be placed on the chain gang?"
 The man paused fer few moments and then replied that he preferred the flashing. The merchant at once secured leather strap, had his em- ploye to walk into back room connected with the store, made him  strip himself and then ordered him to take position across a barrel The merchant then seized the leather strap and administered a sound thrashing upon the mans posterior, after which he paid the offenders fine and the employe was allowed to go about his business.
 A GRAPHIC reporter interviewed the merchant about the whipping this morning when the latter said:
 "Yes, sir, I am heartily in favor of the whipping post fer misdemea nors of all kinds, and if we had such a law in Arkansas there would be many criminals less in our commu nity. When man is convicted and sent to the county farm or peniten tiary for a trifing offense he is at once thrown into the society of the most depraved class of people and when he served his time there and is again given his liberty he is hun dred fold worse criminal than ever before, being hardened and vicious, and at once enters upon career of crime. If a sound whipping had been administered to the criminal in the first place he would have been a better man. feel perfectly sure that my employe, from the chastise- ment I gave him-and it was good one-will be better man and con duct himself more properly in future than if had allowed him to be placed on the chain gang It is safe to say that he will not get drunk again for many day.
