Douglass Fisher. of Retreat, sentenced
to four months in the county Jail at hard
labor for abusing and neglecting his wife
and nine children, is not overly pleased
with his present surroundings. In order
to comply with the courts order, Sheriff
Worrell set the prisoner to saving wood,
which will be his daily stunt until
liberated. Enough cord wood has been
ordered to keep Fisher from getting cold
during the winter, and stacks of wood are
now piled in the jail yard as a result of
his enforced activity. Fisher must keep
on the job so many hours each day or 90
hungry, but thus far he has not missed
any of his regular meals.
