This question wad one of tho minor matters of management of county chaingangs Investigated hy the stato board of dharltios and cor rections through its secretary and I1I3 assistant. . Tho convicts on county chaingangs, regardless of race, uro distinguished as "lino mon" and "trusties." The former wear leg chains during the day and aro chained to a long, hcayy chain at uigkt. The "trustloo" do not. wear chains and frequently aro not guarded. Sometimes they are permitted to Blee?

On the An derson oadLoxlngton chaingangs the 't ru : ties' are dressed In overalls and Jumpers inBtead of stripes. At each o?? of tho chaingangs in these coun ties we were to?d't&at there had been only one escape this- year previous to tho days ou which o;yr visita were mado, tho -cost of guarding tho con? vieta fell below the average, and tbs proportion of convicts to each. fore man, day guard 'and machinist -wea above tho average.
