TiIl. NEGRO WHO DIED.

Mr.. Chalmers sad he had taken
Iohn Thomas from jail to the gang.
He was told Al the time by those
who knew Thomas that Thomas
would play off. Mr.. koon was
working Thomas. Thomas lay
down and then several others lay
down. They gave Thomas a good
dose OF calomel that night. Next
dav Thomas wasn't able to work.
They sent for a doctor but doctor
didn't come and they sent Thomas
to iail and left him there for about
two weeks. Thomas was taken
back and that afternoon he was
sick and they let him stop work for
an hour or two. They held con-
sultation that night and thought
he was playing off and next morn
ing they took him out again.
Thomas said he was sick. Mr..
Chalmers felt his pulse. 1t was a
little weak but not fast enough for
Thomas to have any fever and
Thomas was put back to work. He
stopped again and Mr.. Chalmers
again felt his pulse and insisted on
Richardson whipping him and put
ting him back to work. Tie went
back to work. Later Thomas
dropped over. Mr.. Chalmers felt
Thomas pulse and didn't think he
had any fever. He thought that a
man who was sick enough to stop
work ought to have little fever.
though Thomas pulse was a little
weak. He told Thomas to eat din
ner. Thomas refused to eat. When
! Thomas died and DIR. Sem was
called in Mr.. Chalmers said he told
the doctor to examine the negro
! we'll because there might be a lit
tie hereafter. DR.. Sem said there
! was not a mark on the dead negro.
THE MOST SEVERE WHIPPING.
| Mr.. Chalmers said lie hal whip
ped ONLY two negroes himself and
had eiver one of these probably
the n.ost severe whipping admin
! istered to any. 1t was given to a
negro WHO had run away. He had
riven him about fifteen licks Dr..
| Sem had examined him and had
found three cuts on his hips. This
negro was diseased.
| THOMAS WAS "DLEACHED.
On croSS-eNanlination By Mr.,
Don1inick Mr.. Chalmers said that
! Iohn Thomas. the negro who died.
appeared little "bleacled but that
was natural for a man who had
been in an iron cell during the hot
spell. He didn't have healthy
appearance.
It was during the hot weather
and they put him to ditchlng.

than anything else. Mr.. Richard
son hit him ten or twelve licks.
Didn't know whether he was sick
or not. but supposed he was play
ing off. He told Thomas he was
going 10 whip him until he PROM
;>ed to "a back u work. When l1c

IL negro said he would go back
o work. He got up and worked
for an hour and a half and then
said again that he was sick. He lay
down and then got up and Iell
down. MIR. Richardson said he
couldn't sec ANYTHING the matter
with him ard told him to so to
work. But sent him on back to the
camp and he fell down. Thomas
lived about an hour and a hall after
he got to the camp. He lived about
I'VE hours after the whipping.
When Thomas fell some boys car
7ied him on to the camp. Rich
ardson sciI he sent for doctors but
they DIDN'T get there before he died.
INITIATED on ARRIVAL.
Ever since there had been chain
gang. Richardson testified negroes
were initiated" whipped. as soon
as they got to the gang. They were
not whipped when turned loose. As
to the number of laSheS give, when
the negroes We're whipped for the
various otfeiseS. Richardson said
he expected as many as fifty had
been given. 4 whipped them un-
i'll I convinced them. The laShes
were hardly ever administered to
the bare skin. and the skin was nev-
er cut.
Sometimes the convictS had been
whipped after they We're chained
in the tent for the night. Richard
son said it was done by himself
sometimes. and sometimes by
guards. He waited until night Tor
different causes. sometimes because
they were working where ladies
were. or in town. or lor other
causes
On redirect examination By Mr..
Hunter. Richardson testified that
he had no idea Thomas was sick
and that the whipping couldn't pos
siblv have killed him.

was Impossible to work the gang

On cross-cNanlination bv Mr..
Don1inick. Mr.. Riser testified that
the usual number of !asheS was
from ) to twenty-five and he never
saw one whipped on his bare skin.
It usually took a week 10 teach

Mr.. Riser testified that he had

sRIsTow is CRITICISED.

T HE HOUSE OF representatives GER
L tainly "r'ared up on its hind legs"
over the Overstreet report on Wednes-
Gay. Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow came in for scathing
criticism such as has rarely been heard
in the house. Representative of both
great parties took part in the acrimo-
Nous debate, and Mr.. Bristow, who is
generally conceded to be an honest
man. viii be in great luck if he is not
compelled to resign.
There is just ground for criticising
him, too. In the Overstreet report the
names of numerous representatives
who have not been guilty of anything
criminal were used, and to this vigor-
Gus objections were entered. Mr.. Will
liams, leader OF the Democratic mino-
rity, probably touched the heart of the
situation when he said:
what was the motive of it? Wasn't
it to give the congress notice that the
department held something over con-
gress and that congress had better let
the department alone?'
Evidently the congressman are not
afraid of the postofice department or
of any revelations it may make. II is
quite probable that an Investigation
win now be ordered that viii make all
other Investigations seem trivial by
comparison. And the public viii feet
that it can stand it if the congress and
the postofice department can.

MARRIAGE AID SALARY.

THE CORN EXCHANGE BANK of
L Chicago has posted this notice;
Employees Of this bank receiv-
ing less than $1,000 a year must not
marry without consulting the bank Of
ficials and obtaining their approval"
The individuals who framed that or
der doubtless thought they were TAX
ing a step that would be of benefit to
their employees. Doubtless they hon
estly think that a young man cannot
marry and raise a family on $1,000 a
year. 1t would be interesting TO know,
however, how many Of these officials
married early in life and whether or not
they were earning as much as $1,000 a
year when they took the marital obli-
CATION. Unless these men were born
OF wealthy parents we believe a CEN
sus would show that most OF them
earned less than $1,000 a year when
they walked TO the altar with their
brides.
More, we believe a census would show
that a very large majority of the young
men who marry in this country are
drawing less than 81, 600 annually. And
a very large majority Of the marriages
are happy ones; "a very large majority
Of the wives are helps TO their hus-
bands a very large majority teach
their husbands the virtues of economy
and frugality and prudence in the ex-
peuditure of money. With most men
marriage acts as n balance wheel.
They become steadier. more reliable.
They keep better hours, they are less
extravagant. they lead cleaner lives.
Cynics can find plenty of instances
in which wives have led their husbands
to ruin, but the good that wives In
general do more than counterbalances
the evil a few of them bring on them
selves and those they love Love?
Well. perhaps that is not an exact
definition of the sentiment entertained
toward her husband by a wife who is
not a helpmeet in the true sense of the
word. A wife who really loves her
husband will never let him live beyond
his honest means If she knows it Many
and many a time when the woman is
blamed the truth is that the man never
let's her know how thin was the ice
UPON which they were walking.
Lastly, the question of marriage. that
is. as to whether or not two given peo-
pie can afford to be married is one
that must be settled by the people
most vitality interested. It is not the
concern of any bank or other employer
AS long as clerk does his work prop
erly, as long as he is punctually at his
desk every morning, as long as he is
honest and capable and competent, his
employers have no right to NEEDLE with
