Fearful MaSSncreS in Russia.

l. Constantinople, Sept. i.--Morc
than 1000 persons were executed by
the Bolsheviki before they evacuated
the city Of ickaterinoSlav, in south
ern Russia, according to dispatch
received here from that city, giving
an account OF the masSacreS by Il
physician who was the principal
medical expert present at the OPEN
ing Of the pits into which the bodies
OF these victims had been thrown
after their execution. This physi-
clan, a Dr.. Robin, declares the VIC
Tins heads had been crushed with
hammers and their bodies badly
multilated. Many of them, he says,
were found with broken legs and
ribs caused by blows with sledge-
hammers, specimens of which were
found in the vicinity.
The physician tells OF the case OF
one officer who missed being struck
by the firing squads bullet, and,
similating death, escaped the Boil
sheviki who came along bayonetting
the wounded.
Wholesale pillaging is declared to
have occurred In the town before its
evacuation.

for that purpose. The tabernacle is
furnished with Il fine organ and COM

capacity Of six hundred. On the
backs Of many seats are inscribed
soma scripture texts, such as "God
Is love-" Whatsoever a man soweth

the report on
Oconcc County Chaingang.
Mat Cobb, foreman. Visited July
2, 1918, by Assistant Secretary
BrOyles. Camp located about two
miles from Westminster. In the alb
| scenco Of the foreman, who was Il
considerable distance away, We
talked to Il trusty convict and the
hired cook, Il white man. Conyicts
present, fifteen negro men, OF whom
four were TRUSTEES.
The Oconce camp does not sc0ru
quite as high this year as it dii in
| 1918, due partly to the fact that
when inspected last year all bedding
In camp was new, and partly to the
very special care given tho matter
| OF sewerage disposal and per. .unal
hygiene Of the prisoners by Last
years foreman. However, we found
the camp in fairly good condition
this year, and it can easily be made
one Of the leading camps in the
State. The location Of the camp was
good. and the supplies furnished by
the Commissioners were above the
average. We were struck by the
small number Of TRUSTEES, since the
general average throughout the
State is probably more than 40 per
cent Of the prisoners.
We recommend that the foreman
have all blankets in use washed at
least monthly; that he have his
sewerage pit dug wider and deeper
and have the waste matter covered
with earth daily when thrown into
the pit; that the pit be burned ont
weekly with straw or needles and
oil, to kill fly germs; that The ma
nure from the mule lot be yak"d
up daily and hauled away from Camr
weekly, to prevent flies breediHg in
it,; that every new convict be given
clean blankets for his bunk. which
can be done by requiring each dis
charged man to wash his beddng
before allowing him to leave caMp /,
and finally, that never more than
one man be allowed to bathe in The
same tub Of water. Bathing two
men in the same water is danger
GUS to the health of both. beSld cs
being filthy and disgusting to all
decent people.
Oconee county has one of the nest
county physicians in the Stare, and
we recommend that the Comp DStun-
ers arrange to have him make z
physical examination Of each prison
er before he is taken to the convict
camp. Charleston and Anderson
counties are now doing this, aud find
it quite worth while, since !, gives
the foreman accurate information
rs to the state Of health Of his mon,
and also prevents the sending of
men to the camp who may be suffer
ing from diseases dangerous to the
other conyicts or diseases which
make it impossible for the convict
to do the hard work necessarily re-
quired Of him on the roads. The ex-
animation can be made at the jail,
usually, and the cost would be small.

II refer to prize fighting, Mr. Wallace,

friend. Lord Dubbins of Aberdeen
who, as you perhaps know. is visiting
in the colony-about it yesterday. and
he promised to bring it to the atten-

to indicate that the fight took place

in any country town in China"
Wait a moment. please. that isn't
all; am just coming to the important
point. They also said, several times:
What If the devils patrol had broken
in upon them and caught them in the
act?"
"You are quite sure they said that?"

what that phrase refers to. do you
not?"
