A GEORGIA CHAIN GANG Of all the chaingangs?the darling system of the South? those ot Georg;a have become the most notorious. They may be as bad as it is said they are or even worse? but no chaingang is good; they were not intended so to be. Georgia, however, or at least Bibbs County has at last realized that even though the men, unfortunate enough to find themselves on the gangs, are yet human beings. The Commissionar in keep ing with that idea has installed an 8 hour day schedule for work. Commissionar J. B. neighbors Expresses his idea thusly: "Most individuals are at least on an 8 hom day and that is also enough for those held in bondage." Certain].* the Commissioner's idea is not only sensible but humane, and othe1 states can well adopt his idea May be, after all, when thinking of Chaingangs. instead of think ing of the hard and cruel things, one will think of the Georgia idea of humane treatment of prisoner*. aiinri mi 'in THE A.
