Record of Lynchings for 1929 Robert R. Moton, principal of Tus kegee Normal and Industrial Insti tue, Alabama, furnishes the follow ing information concerning lynchinps during 1929: "I find according to the* records compiled in the Department of Re cords and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, there were 10 persons lynched in 1929. This is 1 less than the number 11 for 1928, 6 less than the number 16 for 1927, 9 less than th? number 19 for 1926 and 7 less than the number 17 for 1925. Six of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 5 from jail and 1 from officers of the law outside of jails. There were 27 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynch ings. 3 of these wero in Northern states and 24 in Southern states. Tn 24 of the cases the prisoners were re moved or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 3 other instances*" armed force was used to repel the would be lynchers. 1 2 white men, 20 Negro men and 2 Ne gro women were thus saved from death at the hands of mobs. Of tho 10 persons lynched, 7 were Negroes and 3 were whites. The of fences charred were: rape, 8; writ ing insulting notes, 2; murder, 1; t wounding man in altercation, 1*; wounding officers of the law, 2; charge not reported, 1. The states in which lynching? oc curred and the number in each state are as follows: Florida, 4; Kentucky 1; Mississippi, 1; Tennessee, I7 Teaxs. 3."

Editor: The cold of the pa8t few days was added to on Sunday morning by a light fall of snow fol lowed by sleet and rain which froze as it fell, and the fjround, trees and buildings are encrusted with a heavy coating of ice making outdoor work impracticable and traveling hazard ous and uncomfortable. The very inclement weather pre vented any services at the Presbyter an church on Sunday. -Christmas, the day that should be celebrated in a san? and civil manner denoting "Peace on earth and good will to all men" ? but in which harm ful and unchristian acts and practices are more common than at any other time, is almost here, and indications are that owing to crop failures and the general financial conditions of our county and section it will be "a dull Christmas" but let us hope that | our people will enjoy the home com ing of 'oved ones and the meeting: and mingling with friends and neigh bors to the fullest extent, appreciat ing the blessings we have and look ing to the future with "an abiding faith" and a bright hope for better things in the coming year.

Winter Home of Mr. Baruch Destroy ed by Fire Georr^town, Dec. 27 (By AP). ? ? "Bobcaw Barony", winter home of Bernard M. Baruch on Waccamaw peninsula, Georgetown county, was destroyed by fire tonight. Residents of Georgetown saw the blaze in the distance at about 9:30 o'clock and later Mr. Baruch sent his superin tendent here to announce that the home had been destroyed but that no *>ne had been injured. No details as to the origin of the blaze or tho names of a number of prominent Northern guests of Mr. Baruch were revealed by the super intendent. Mr. Baruch, New York financier, owns more than 20,000 acres of land on the peninsula. There were 1234 automobile acci dents in South Caroilna for eleven months of the year, 188 death, and a number serioualy injured. For the month of November there were 24 fatalities, almost one a day. We sin cerely hope that this number will be greatly reduced during 1930. DOG LOST? A black dog with white I ring aotund neck. ? White on end' of tail. Claws on hind feet. An swers to name Black Jack.

AFTER CHRISTMAS "Christmas time is over now; The doctor has been here; He says my tummy's over-stuffed, Just like it was last year;" "He says, I should not eat so much, Or stay out quite so late; But turkey, custard, cake and pie, Is everything I ate." "Of course, I had some oranges, And candy quite enough? If Santa brings it to my house, I have to eat the stuff." "I am not really sick at all, But just a little sore: And if they'd let me get up now, ?I'd eat a little more." Hors Most Versatile of All Farm Animals Clemson College, Dec. 30. ? There is no class of livestock which can be j used under as many different condi- | tions as ho.qs, and that is why they \ are in every state in the Union, and ' I in every county of each state says L. V. Starkey, head of the anin.al hus bandry division. "The hog will take garbage from i the most lowly country home or from I t-he largest city and manufacture it into an edible product", continues Mr. ! Starkey. "He will glean the grain from the fields of wheat, oats ori barley, harvest many good rations from the potato fields after the crop \ has been harvested by man, and com- j plete the peanut and soybean har- ( vesting after the harvesters have done their work. Hogs follow cattle which have been fed whole grain and convert the undigested kernels into! meat, harvest the entire corn crop J and do a better job of it than the far- , mer can do, enter the forests and ' produce pork from acorns, chesnuts, i etc., and invade the swamps and live ] from roots and tubers. There is no other farm animal that will adapt himself to such a variety of condit ions. "The question arises ? Are we mak ing us? of the hogs to the best ad vantage? Are we giving him a chance? _Is it not true that there are tons and tons of feed going to waste j each year which the hog would trans- j form into~dollars and cents? j "Let's build some good fences and | make use of this opportunity." farm gossip Frank Farmer Swears Off for 1930 1.
