Over in KuWm county ami in the great city of Atlanta it
has long been the custom to subject prisoners to the tonnes of
fuch things as “bucking chairs" and like devices which have
been brought down to the present from an age of barbarism.
The severity of tbe punishment inflicted upon the un
fortunate men and women inmates of the Fulton count) chain-
gang is revealed in a statement made hv the warden of the
institution to the effect that, “before prisoners are flogged
they are always examined by a physician who detemines whether
or not they are physically able to survive the punishment."

What has become of the old-fash

To advocate the scrapping of the

these days when people are begining
to work and save so that the high
cost of living may be lowered. To
