the quivering backs of chained and
shaCkled men in two of the convict
camps of Fulton County in one
month.
Neither Captain Luck not Captain
Tyree was at his camp when the
Commissioners called on their inVes-
tigating tour, but through their sub
ordinates the probers reprimanded the
bosses sharply Commissioner Shell
by Smith, of the county board. or
dered on of the guards at the Wei
auca camp to tell Captain Tyree to
appear before the county board We'd
nesday morning ana explain why he
had found IT necessary to fog 80 men
in one month.
Thirty is too many" said Mr..
Smith The whipping should not be
carried to extremes
Mr.. Smith stated fatty that Tyree's
prowess with the whip will be thor
oughly investigated, and unless the
camp boss can snow good cause for
the hogging of 81 men his expulsion
Is likely.
Captain Luck was. through one of
his subordinates. told by Judge T. f.
Patterson. of the State Prison Com
mission, that he must be more care
flll in the future about whipping con
victs.
We had Luck up before us a year
ago for that" said !, Mr. Patterson
and We don't want to have TO CEN
sure him again. Just tell him he's to
be more careful and not fog men for
trivial offenses"
Later Chairman Dawson. OF the
State commission. intimated that
Captain Luck's whipping record
probably would he investigated. with
the probable expulsion of the boss if
circumstances warranted.
1T would seem that he is whip
ping the men too often" said Mr.. Ds-
vison
AT Bellwood camp the whipping
record II Captain Oscar +. Jones
showed that twelve convicts had been
tlogged in January. Bellwood is the
largest camp in the county, with 1870
prisoners now on the rolls. With the
exception Of Captain Jones and Cap
tain Clark, who took Captain Thorn
ason's place AZ Adamsviue, none Of
the camp bosses was about when the
prohers called. and for some reason
the records were mot available

have given him thirty or forty lashes
on the bare flesh.
After this Tyree forced Cans to
go to work although he was nearly
dead from overwork and heat pros
tration He gave up two or three
times during the day, but each time
he was made 10 go back to work in
the hot sun
Coming back from work he col
lapsed completely in his chains. He
was carried to the camp. The next
morning he died Nothing was done
for him in the way Of medical at
tendance except to rub ice on his
mead
They would beat the prisoners and
fog them and then send them to
work. BY the time they would get
to work the blood would be oozing
through their clothes Many times
the men would collapse in the middle

whippings they had received in the

into the clubhouse with his whip in

the new ones?' Someone would tell
him. and then he would say Well,

new prisoners taken out and logged
for nothing at all but just to break

putting man in prison is not to re-
form him, but to punish him.
Punish Rather Than Reform"
The IDEA of punishment should
take precedence over the idea of ref
ormation," he said.
Mr. Smith said he is willing TO do
anything he can to relieve the con-
dition of the convicts.
It seemed to be the consensus of
opinion that inasmuch as the inves-
tigation lad proved beyond the shad-
ow of a doubt that the living quarters
and the entire camps. for that mat
ter are exceedingly clean and SAN
itary. the matter OF f1ogging prison
ers is but a secondary consideration,
and the less said about it the better.
At every camp the newspaper men in
the party were cordially invited to
notice how clean and sanitary the
living quarters and the kitchens and
commissary departments were And
there is no doubt that the camps are
clean and the food good. The inyes-
tigators We're fed on collards. eggs,
corn bread, biscuits, beefsteak, cof-
fee and other things at the Oakland
camp, and it was excellently pre-
pared and excellently served Better
food of the sort could not be secured
anywhere in Atlanta.
The most fastid!ous person could
rot have found anything in the way
of dirt in the yards or the buildings
Of the camp. Even the yards were
swept clean. Everything was spick
and span. Convicts at all the camps
however said things had been clean

Evidence Of Drinking.
The thorough search that failed to
unearth any dirt. however. unearthed
several bottles al the Adamsville
camp that smelled very strong-and
some of them tasted strong-of his
ky.
Convicts in this camp said drunk
enness among the guards-men
armed with shotguns-is a common
occurrence.
The probers were met at the
Adamsville camp by a delegation of
guards and started down toward the
clubhouse. While passing in front
of the commiSsary the vanguard of
the investigators ran into an old man.

stopped to talk to the first convict
of the day.
How long have you been here?''
asked Commissioner Tull Waters.
No Complaint Before Guards.
"A life time, / guess" he tried to
smile, but he couldn't.
Have you any complaint to
make?' Mr. Waters asked.
The old man glanced around with
the furtive quickness acquired only
by men who are watched constantly.
