A.P. MAN SEES HORROR
 OF BOLSHEYIK PRISONS
Finds 100000 Political Prisoners Held in State of Most Grim
 DesOlation.

Moscow, Feb. 1. (By Mail)-To prevent the death by starvation and disease of 100000 or so men and women in the various prisons and con- centratlon camps of Russia, collec- tions are being taken in the churches by the priests and about the streets by ex-prisoners or by friends and relatives of prisoners.
 Despite the amnesty proclamation of the soviet government in November last, the prison camps continue crowd ed with men and women political prisoners whose only crime appears to have been that they once were rich or that they fell afoul of old enemies who used their communistic influence to avenge private griev- ances.
 Conditions have been going from bad to worse since the famine until now prison means to be practically without food, clothes, heat or medi- cine. The organization known as the Russian political Red Cross has had its meager supplies and funds cut off. along with schools. hospitals and other institutions.
 The people in the famine region are in paradise compared to those who are denied their liberty and all means of obtaining food.
 In the camps of Novospaski and Pokrofsky, near Moscow, to the certain knowledge of the Assoclated Press cor respondent, the prisoners are reduced to eating bits of refuse, like hungry animals. The best that is served them

 Some women political prisoners have been released, but the correspondent has information that aged and middle aged princesses mother and daughters and wives, are still detained in over- crowded, lice-infested cells or rooms with but one piece of clothing to cover them and without soap to wash them selves.
 Once such people as these get into prison they stay there almost auto- matically because they are of no special political importance in present day soviet Russia.
 The Chekia (secret police) authori- ties have just offered to send, 400 real political prisoners-Social Revo- lutionists or Mensheviki-to some small town they may select at least l5O miles from railway if they will promise to remain there. They are now locked up in the Boutirsky pris- on at Moscow and thus far have re- fused the offer. Nevertheless a dozen or so of these prisoners have been released

FIND CHOCTAW TRIBE
 100 YEARS BACKWARD
tBy the Associated Press)


 Muskogee, Okla, March 9.-Four- teen hundred members of the Choc- Jaw Indian tribe residing in the state of Mississippi are in deplorable con- dition, in the opinion of Peter J. Hudson of Tuskahoma, member of the Oklahoma Choctaw tribe, who has re- turned from months mission among the Mississippi Indians. MT. Hudson and the late Monsigneur w. H. Ketch- am of Oklahoma City were delegated by Indian Commissioner Burke to make an investigation of the condi- tion of he tribe in that state. Mon signeur Ketcham died suddenly at Philadelphia, Miss, which engaged in the work.
 The 400 Mississippi Choctaws are divided into ten clans and they are constantly quarreling, according to Mir. Hudson. Originally their ances- tors were members of the Choctaw tribe that migrated to Indian Terri tory in the early sos. They have made no progressive steps in the past 100 years, MT. Hudson says, and he declares their greatest need is edu- cation. Their sole occupation is farm ing and as such they are tenant farm CTS of whites.

SAYS FARMERS HAVE
 TOO MANY OVERSEERS
E. NJ. Smith of Enola Writes Con corning Tick Quarantine and
 Other Matters.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat.
 Will you please allow me space in your valuable paper for just a few words?
 We notice we are placed under the quarantine again in this part. Now we are law abiding citizens up here; j; we have dipped and sprayed for four or five years and still we have not got what we were promised. You men that ride over the country and write long prices in the papers tell ing we would get from one to three cents a pound more for our cattle, (is this what they tcld us?) We would like to have some explanation on this now. Can one man do a thing and not viola.e the law and another do the same thing and he violates the federal law?
 Now we know this is done all along. Now if there are ticks in township ', there are in township 6 also. We have just been let out a-sniping; the other fellow is getting the money and we are holding the sack.
 Why cant we get legislators that will give the people chance to vote on these things? Now we well know that the farming class of people are pressed in everything. We have a boss over everything. We have an overseer over our cattle, over our farms, over our school. Did the farm CT put them there by his vote? Some of these things are good and to the farmers advantage.
 Just like the hard surface road that is just fine, especially to the man that's got the auto or truck, but we see it's bad to the 220 something pieces of lands and lots that are advertised. At that rate for 19 years more how many homes will be left? Now am not speaking against this, but think the farmers should have a say so as they are the ones that rock the cradle of the world. Don't you? The farmer sells at wholesale and buys at retail prices.

RECTOR PRAISES PICTURE TO BE SHOWN AT GRAND

The following communication was printed in the Anderson, s. C., Mail of June 20, and signed by the Rev. Guy H. Frazier. The communication expresses MT. Frazier's opinion of the picture which is to be shown at the White Grand theatre in this city next Monday, March 13.
 ''To Editor Daily Mail:
 In view of the crying need of shielding and saving our young peo- pie from the horrible and unspeakable and unprintable deformites and ab- normalities of life when abused, l wish it were possible for the police to arrest every young man in Ander- son and take them to the Strand to- right and compel them to sit through the picture as entitled Are You Fit To Marry?" We believe in compulsory education, and this con templated act, if it could be carried out would be entirely in keeping with that principle, for education of the sort contained in that picture, if need ed, will do more for the salvation of the race than almost any amount of preaching.
 q am not advertising the Strand, but I say all glory to the theatre when used for the benefit of the race. We have not begun to capital ize the moving picture house as blessing. On with the show. Guard our young women for the sake of the little angels.

 My God, men, you ain't going to kill me, are you?" Blasingame asked.
 "Nope, just going to take you out and keep you from being killed" he was told.
 When the prisoner had been march ed to the pine thicket, he was ordered to remove his clothing and to lie down upon his stomach. A member of the party then produced leather strap, and the man was terribly beaten. It is said all members of the masked party took turns strap ping Blasingame.
