THAT PFNITENTIARY INvEsTI-
CATION

CATION
1t will be remembered by our
readers that about one month ago
the penitentiary officials marched
several convicts distance of over
twenty five miles to Marion, N. G.
over one of the worst roads in the
Western part of the state and one
of the coolest days of the winter.
The convicts were chained together
and were forced to march through
mud over knee-deep in many
places dragging this frozen chain
through the mud also. 1t was also
reported that the convicts were for
ced to wade the streams on this bit
ter cold day and carry the guards
over on their backs.
They had very little to eat on
this trip and many of them were
sick, weak and unable to walk, but
they were driven along by curses
and threats from the guards. One
poor fellow dropped his Bible on
the March and when he stopped to
pick it up he was cursed for carry
ing "plunder". The citizens of
Marion demanded an investigation
A committee was appointed to in.
vestigate the matter. But what
has becomeI of the investigation-Or
the committee we have been unable
to find out. 1t seems that there
has been an effort made to white
wash the affair, but the public
should know the facts. But the
trouble lies in the fact that if the
public were to learn the true find.
ings of the committee the present
democratic penitentiary officials
would have to seek new jobs, and
from democratic standpoint, it is
better for humanity to suffer than
for some Of their number to lose q
job. We do not think that convict:
should be fed on pound cake every
day in the week and hauled around
In rubber-tired carriages, but if il
was absolutely necessary to move
the convicts on such a day they
should have been moved in con
vsyances and furnished proper fooG
and rainment.
We again ask for report of thu
committee-providing the com
