The ten convicts mentioned in yesterday’s
despstches as having been returned to the
penitentiary from Twiggs‘ convict camp on
the Georgetown and lane‘s Rsilrcsd on se-
eount of illness constitute ten more counts -
in the long indictment sgsiast the policy of
the State in hiring lh prisoners out beyond
a... surveillance mid care of the Ststc‘s‘ om-
acrs. These men were found in bud con-
dition by the Superintendent. physician and
directors of the penitentiary when they
visited the camp on the Georgetown Rail-
road. and by their direction have been re-
turned to the penitentiary for hospital treat.-
ment. Itwill be remembered. as stated in
this correspondence. that upon Superin-
tendent Lipscemb‘s return from his George-
town inspection he announced that the re-
iult of the impaction would be communi—
-afed to the penitentiary board before its
publication. That has now been done.
I'he report states that the convict camp was
found inhorribly, filthy condition ;. that
there was no hospital. and sick and well
convicts were kept confined together; that
there was insufilcient medical attention. and
~ . that he could not see how the sick could re-
cover with such surroundings. This was
the first serious complaint which had been
made against Major 'I‘wiggs. the contractor.
but if. was sumciently momentous to induce
.he board to serve a copy of Superintendent
Lipscoiub‘s report on him for explanation.
The sick convictsare now here. and they
verify what has been said. One has chronic
pleurisy and is entirely beyond recovery.
Two are ill with scurvy. one with per-
itonitis. four with inflammation of the knee
joints. and two suffer from chronic exhaus
:ion. or. in other words. are completely
“ broken down." The character of these
liseases sufficiently indicates whether or
lot the snfierers received proper 1
man with pleunsy was hopelessly/All when
inspected by the physician of the peni-
tentiary. and yet itwas not k wn at the
camp what his disease v1), nor what his
condition an. The cases of inflammition-
of the knee indicate serious overwork in
digging. and those of scurvy unsuitable
find. The cases of “ breakdown“ explain
themselves. All of these men when fur-
nished to tho contractor were in good
health. The main cause of their non—
reoovcry has been insufficient medical at.
tendance. the lack of a hospital. and proper .
dietary and sanitary attention. I have the
authority of the physician of the penitentiary
for the statement that these are the worst
was which have been returned to the insti-
tution since the wretch'isl tln‘euwoixl and
Augusta Railroad scandal. The officers of
the penitentiary are thoroughly dishearten~
ed by the continuance of this sort of thing.
It looks as if it were impossible to secure
proper treatment for convicts out of sight of
hose who are ofllcially responsible fuf‘thsir
well-being.

MAKING CROCS-EYSS STRAIGHT.
“ The operation to be undergone by the:
patient is simple and practically psinlm.
For the convergent csscs there is no pain
whatever. only a little annoyance while tht
operator is reaching the little muscle which
has to be divided. I have performed tht
)peration hundreds of times on other
people. sometimes giving ‘anassthcties. and
often with no such aid. The patient is
stretched on the table. I draw apart with
my fingers the lids of his eyes and insert.
between them a little steel instrument
shaped like the letter O. The sides of this
expand by a spring and force the‘lids open.
disclming the eyeballs and 3thc network of
muscles holding it in position and directing
its movements. When this expansion is ac-
complished. I lift up the muscle with s
small pair of tweesers. and divide it with
my instrument. When it is cut it feels .tc
the jaiticnt as if s emsll band of rubber wet
being snapped. 'lherc is no pain at all.
V‘cry‘often. however. painful operations all
performed. The muscle has sometimes
been divided too much. and the error haste

pstient must be made unconscious while
