SHALL THIS CONTINUE?
FriqhtfuI Cruelty Shown to Convicts
In Georgia Contract Labor Camps.

A newly arrived convict has not pro-
Ceeded far with his first days work
when he has an opportunity to learn
exactly what are the good reasons for
regretting a failure to complete an APP
portiorcd task. There is a commotlon
in the yards and two of the guards ap-
pear leading forward a convict to
place where a great barrel lies on its
side. A big, auth oritative man comes
forward and gives orders. The convict
is stripped Then he is bent over the
barrel Two negroes hold his legs. He
begs and pleads and struggles. The ne
groes hold him fast. Another man
stands by with an instrument 1t Is
made of sole leather about three incries
wide, three feet long and three eighths
of an inch thick. 1t has stout wooden
handle. The man lifts the instrument
high in the air. He brings it down,
swish! upon the naked man on the
barrel. The man on the barrel screams
aloud with sudden agony. He does not
shout nor exclaim, he screams hor-
rible shrill scream Of unutterable pain.
The other man raises the instrument
and brings it down, swish! again.
Again the man on the barrel screams.
A blow and a scream; a blow and a
scream. Presently it is a blow and a
sob; the man On the barrel Is crying.
Again a moment, and his blood trickles
bling, crying now-and bleeding The
blows fall upon his bruised and bloody
back; he wriggles and twists about;
the negroes can hardly hold down his
head and his legs; the other men stand
and gaze; the guards hold their rifles;
and from the bluest of skies the soft
sun of Georgia looks upon the frightful
scene, and the sweet spring air from
the Southern woods blows over it.
But the man has done wrong, he has
committed a fault
Yes; from sunrise to noon he has
wheeled 81 loads of fresh brick; the reg
ulations of this hell on earth require
that in such time he shall wheel co
loads. So, having thus transgressed,
power and law and justice as admin
from him this penalty until he screams
and cries and sobs-and bleeds.-

There seems to be considerable cause
for complaint over the tardy arrival
almost every morning, of the train from
Wallula carrying Portland and eastern
mail According to schedules the morn
ing train should arrive at o'clock but
more often it is I and sometimes S
o'clock before the mail is delivered at
the Walla Wa1la postoffice. This de-
lays the delivery Of mail to the bust
ness houses until Q and sometimes 10
o'clock. 1t seems that Walla Walla is
of sufficient Importance to warrant a
better service over the Wallula branch.
1t is in strange contrast with the eX-
cellent service the o. r. & n. is now
giving on its daylight train to Port
