Debs Tells of His Imprisonment When a man has remained in pri son over a certain length of time his spirit is doomed. He is stripped of his manhood. He is fearful and afraid. He has not been redeemed. He has been crucified. He has be come a rovings animal, casting about for prey and too weak to seize it,” said Eugene V. Debs. Continuing, he said: ‘T never saw those bars nor the walls in the nearly three years I spent in Atlanta, was never conscious of being a pris oner. If I had had that conscious ness it would have been tantamount to an admission of guilt which I never attached to myself.” Kindness in Cells.—Being the latest arrival, I should have occupied an upper bunk, but the German, who had the lower, insisted on taking the up per and giving me his own sleeping slab. He also insisted on making my bed, as I had some difficulty in making it up so it would pass inspee- tion. He continued this kindness all the time I oecupied that cell. He likewise did my laundering on the smaller items of apparel that had to be done. This German was sentenced for five years because some liquor had been found in the lodging house of which he was the proprietor and at which soldiers were quartered during the war. This is one of the many savage sentences that was brought to my personal attention, and which excited my indignation and revqlt. I never knew a finer man and I could not have been treated more kindly and considerately had these convicts been my own brothera. Upon the German’s release from prison he sent me a beautiful pipe, and he has been writing to me ever since. Incidents of human kindness in this prison cell could be multiplied by the hundreds. I would not give the im pression that I was the sole benefi ciary of these loving acts, for I have seen prisoners manifest the same re gard toward each other, in spite of the harsh rules and regulations that seem calculated to crush magnanim ity wherever it lifts its benevolent hand. Just beyond the prison cells lies the campus, across the walls of which guards in uniform pass back and forth swinging their rifles as if they were going out to shoot squir rels. The sight shocked me through and through with its horrid signific ance as a symbol of man’s inhuman ity under the prison regime Then Came the Change—-For paltry pay these guaitis contract to send a bullet through the heart of 'some hap less wretch who might have dream As Rare As a Day In June A week that isn’t being observed for one reason or another.

C. Woman Killed By Mule Team Johnston.—Mrs. Talula LaGrone Meyer, wife of Rev. William Meyer, met a tragic death her© Tuesday when she was killed by a runaway team of mules. The team ran away and threw Mrs. Meyer to the ground. She got up and walked to her home and stated that she was not seriously hurt, but a knot was found on her head and a doctor was called. She died several hours later. the responsibility for it, in the last analysis, falls directly upon society itself. The prison problem is directly cor related with poverty, and poverty as we see it today is essentially a social disease. It is a cancerous growth in a vulnerable spot of the .social sys tem. Man is the only animal that con structs a cage for his neighbor and puts him in it. To punish by im prisonment involving torture in every conceivable, form is a most tragic phrase in the annals of mankind. The ancient idea was that the more cruel the punishment the more certain the reformation. This idea, fortunately, has to a great extent receded into the limbo of savagery from whence it sprang. b": t :m,.^7.^o b ;^t , . h S|CHILTON’S LITTLE the centuries there has been a steady T>T TTIVTR'irR modification of discipline and method A iiUlTADJLXv in the treatment of prisonera.—Eu- ou-.— ot a t v.
