This is the law in Texas.
Wholesale floggings of prisoners
have been going or, in the peniten

prison camps scattered through the
southern and eastern parts of the
state, with official sanction. The
statutes permit them.

I Mrs. Miram (Ma) Ferguson is cx

And the state lep.islnture yrob-

Jaw eliminating forever this prac

Little was known about these
wholesale floggings until word of
the beatings administered three men l
on the Blakely convict farm began

( shocking than even those familiar

During the past six months, ner.r
--i ly 200 convicts have undergone the
■ tortures of the “flogging chamber.”
I Sometimes the flogging would be
i staged in the prison barracks. Some
times out on the onen prairie.
Sometimes all the prisoners are
forced to witness thorn Sometimes
onld the witnesses reqif-ed by law
r.re present. But there was little
difference in brutality.

quarter of an inch thick, attached,
to a wooden handle, is used by the
“f logger.” If a strong blow is
struck, the skin on the prisoner’s
back cuts with each lash.
If the victim calls feu mercy and
promises never to disobey the rules
again, the beatings are halted.
A few years ago an inquiry nt the
boy’s reformatory in Gatesville dis
closed 900 inmates had been sub
jected to almost every sort of tor
ture imaginable.
The superintendent was dismissed
and the commandant given a 10-
year sentence when convicted of
killing a 14-year-old boy.
Investigation also showed that
prisoners at one time were made to
straddle ‘‘a horse,” a four-inch plank
high enough to keep toes off the
ground. They were made to re
main on this horse for hours at a
time.
Now, if they are not flogged, the'/
are required to spend hours stand
ing on top of a barrel.
Boys at the Gatesville reforma •
tory were forced to march with their
chins elevated at an angle of 45
degrees even when the sun struck
their faces.
When unruly, they have been
forced to toe a mark, bend over
and touch their toes, remaining in
that position 45 minutes, a punish
ment only the strongest could un
dergo without collapsing.

Pine Tar and Honey Beat
All Modem Drugs
Tn thousands of families it has
been the customfior many years to
keep pine tar and honey always on
hand for coughs, chest colds, bron
chitis. spasmodic croup, and throat
irritations. Our mothers knew that
it was good, that it often broke up
the worst cough in 24 hours, and
that it could be given to young and
old alike, as it contains no nar
cotics or harmful drugs.
And now we are told that in spite
Os modern medical discoveries there
Is still no better or quicker cough
remedy. Doctors say the pine tar
quickly loosens and removes the
phlegm and congestion that cause the
coughing, also healing soreness,
while the honey not only gives a
pleasant taste, but helps soothe irri
tation.
The original compound, made up
many years ago and used by mil
lions of people, was Dr. Bell s I me-
Tar Honey. This is scientifically
composed of just the right propor
tions of pine tar, honey and other
quick-acting, healing ingredients
which the best doctors have found
to aid in quick relief. If you want
the original and the best, be sure
vou get "Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar Honey
and no other. Only 30c. at any
good druggists.

“LASSES WHITE
MAKES BIG HIT.
(From The Charlotte, (N. C.) Ob
server. Nov. 26.)
The opening of “The Hotel De
Blackville” at the Auditorium b t
night with “Lasses” White actually
in charge, was more or less hectic,
but was supremely successful. The
obstreperous guests may have come
there with razors and shooting irons
and other trifles like th;R but the
merry dance continued, the trick
clock clicked off its list of liars
and ‘‘a good time was had by all ’
Which is one way of saying that
“Lasses” White and his ’apable cote
rie of fun-makers received a rous
ing reception in Charlotte. There
were no radical departures, and
none were expected. But the mirth
• was there, the music was tuneful,
]Q
as well as eccentric, the dancing
was good, and the settitigs provided
colorful and appropriate back
grounds. There was a
beginning, with minstrelsy enthron
ed in all its glory. It remind.:d one
of the days of Lev,’ Dockstader,
Bert Swor and others of blackface
renown. Musical numbers in prolu
sion descended upon-us, and black
face repartee rattled back and forth
between Billy Doss, Dan Holt, Bob
by Burns and “Lasses” Wh'te in
laugh-producing climaxes.
The ensemble' at the conclusion
was colorful and provided a fitting
climax. It w r as a fine bit of enter-
