Mississippi State News
Anti-whIpplng Order.

The Supreme Court recently de-
cided that the conviets in the State
penitentiary could not be whipped
in any sense of the word, and the
court held that the statute which
provides that the board of control
may provide for "coporeaP punish
ment does not mean that the board
may authorize a convict to be
whipped with the lash or strap. The
court says that the lash cannot be
laid upon citizen, and that the cor
poreal punishment designed by the
statute is solitary confinement and
the like. This decision of the court
will call for a revision of the pres
ent rules governing prison disci-
pline, and in view Of the disastrous
consequences in the case of the negro
Oliver the board will doubtless take
the matter up at once and revise the
rule which has hitherto allowed the
sergeants to apply the lash to refrac-
tory conyicts.
