 HARRIS DENIES OFFICER RANKIN s CHARGES
 E. L. Harris, the convict farm man, is said, in a special to the Gazette on Monday, to have de- nied officer Rankin's charges as outrageous and untrue.
 Mr. Harris is said to have the affidavits of Dr's. P. B. Thomas, ST., N. E. Murphy and F. E. Thomas, Jr. in which these gen. tlemen unqualifiedly compliment the conditions they found at Harris farm and his treatment of the prisoners.
 MT. Harris flatly denies the statement of Officer Rankin that he has at any time held a prison Ter overtime. He says that he only has required all prisoners to work such a number of days as required to pay their fines and costs as shown by the commit |ments and cost bills accompany ling the prisoners when delivered
 to him.

On FlQdy dIterHOOu IaSt III Little Rock the Arkansas Society received a report from Humane Officer w. M. Rankin whom it appears had been sent to visit the Monroe County Con- vict Farm East of Clarendon, operated by E. L. Harris. Officer Rankin charges that prisioners lon the Harris convict farm are treated in a cruel and unhumane manner; that Irregularities are practiced which if officer Ran kin's charges are true. should demand the attention of the Brinkley Board of Alderman. The Gazette report says:
 MT. Rankin said that he visit Ted the convict farm February 1, accompanied by Sheriff T. D. Bounds of Monroe county,
 Mir. Rankin asserts that the prisoners are being detained un- lawfully at the farm. He ex- hibited what purported to be 2 copy of the contract between |Mr. Harris and the mayor and aldermen of Brinkley. Mir. Ran kin said that the state law pro vides that the county judge alone has the power to make a contract for the services of con- victs and that therefore the contract between Harris and the city officials of Brinkley is illegal and the prisoners are being un- lawfully detained. Mir. Rankin says that he will take the matter up with Govorner Hays as soon as the states chief executive re- turns to Little Rock and will en- Ideavor to have all the conyicts released.
 In the copy of the alleged contract exhibited by Mir. Ran kin if is provided that Harris sshaA take all the able-bodied men convicts whose fines shall amount to $1O and not less than S5 and all those whose fines shall amount to less than $5 he shall take two of them and be counted as one.
 It is also stated that Harris shall pay the costs on the con- yicts, but shall not be required to pay their fines.
 MAKES CHARGES IN REPORT
 Tn lis report Mir. Rankin made the following charges:
 That when the prisioners were brought in from their work at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, they were chained to a long chain which extended the length of their room and that they were thus kept chained all night. They were kept chained thus from 6 o'clock Saturday night until Monday morning being re- leased only to take baths. MT.
