putting a 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 conyicts.
It seemed to be the consensus OF
opinion that, inasmuch as the lnves-
LEGATION Lad proved beyond the shad-
ow of doubt that the living quarters
and the entire camps, for that mat
ter. are exceedingly clean and san
itary. the matter Of flogging prison
ers is but a secondary consideration,
and the less said about ii the better.
At every camp the newspaper men in
the party were &C rdiaily invited to
notice now clean and sanitary the
living quarters and the kitchens and
commissary departments were. And
there is no doubt that the camps are
clean ana the food good. The inves-
tigators were 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 fastidous person could
rot have found any thing 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
ed up in anticipation of the inVestiga-
ton. but every man who was ques-
toned said the camps were kept very
clean.

unearth any dirt. however. unearthed
several bottles at the Adamsville
camp that smelled very strong-and
some of them tasted strong-of whis-
