Wright, white, of Douglas, Ga., was
taken from the Coffee county jail
Monday and lynched. He was accused
of killing Mrs. Sophie Rollins
Saturday night. Sheriff Tanner said
he was overpowered by twenty-five
white men and the keys taken from
him.
The word 'apron' was originally
'napron', derived from the word 'napkin'
or 'napery.' Some early writer
dropped the 'n' and we have 'apron.'
' The same is true of 'orange' which
was originally known by the Spanish
name "naranga," which became in
English "norange."
The deepest workable mine is said
to be at Morro Velho, Brazil, where
gold and other minerals are found at
a depth of a mile and a quarter.

Indian Gift
A deed signed by Indian chiefs seven
years before the Revolutionary
war, the signatures consisting of
figures of birds, fishrnnd other animals
forming the symbols of the tribes
concerned, wfeuld ordinarily be regarded
its u historical curiosity. But I
an ancient, document of this description
became endowed with Jhlghly
practical Importance when It was of- I
fered as evidence in litigation over'
title to 2,500 acres of forest land In
Hamilton county. The dispute, which
has been In the courts for two decades,
has at last been decided in
favor of the state. It is an odd turn
of events that brings Into the transactions

Respirators Not Perfect
Fifty per cent efficiency, against J
tobacco smoke is the standard
adopted by the United States bu- J
reati of mines for gas musks to as- I
sure protection from smoke and dust. I
Many Industrial dust respirators Rnd J
many diff^^nt fabrics, ranging from I
cheesecloth and absorbent cotton to I
canton flunnef, were used In the lab- |
oratory tests made by S. H. Kntz,
O. W. Srplth and E. G. Meiter. Tobacco
smoke was used as a criterion
because, being excessively difficult to
arrest, it affords n severe test for
the respirators. While their use among
workers In such dusty Industries as
mining should be encouraged, the tents
show that respirators cannot be regarded
us a final safeguurd, the experts
say.
Australian Exploration
A new expedition with a caravan of
25 camels has started for the thirsty
Interior of Australia. Dr. Herbert
Basedow, the leader, is a geologist,
but he does not believe all ihat men
who follow the mirage of gold have
told him. He will examine the region
at the head of the Victoria river for
any traces of mineral wealth. ? Being
also an anthropologist, he Is In quest
Of other treasure trove ef a different

"There Isn't a crook of any kind in
St. Thomas," Commissioner Nolan aald
upon his arrival. "It has become so
quiet down thers that I'm ashamed to
go around and collect my salary."
lit order not to feel guilty of A

On a visit tp the Virgin Islands sis
years ago to see his son. Dr. Roger
Nolan of St Croix, be told St Thomas
offidtls of New York's methods of
cleaning up the underworld. At the
time pickpocket^ thieves and holdup
men had an open season all year
round. The officials extended an Invitation
to Captain Nolan to apply
these methods.
He came, he saw, he established a
dead-line, bought new uniforms for the
40 members of the police force and
In two weeks the crime wave disappeared
like a marcel in hot weather.
, The only trouble left to the police,
Commissioner Nolan said, "is that
neither my force nor I have anything

Crop Area F&llt Off
as Population Gains
Washington.?For the first time in
history there has been a decrease In
the crop area of the United States.
Respite a marked Increase in population,
there was a reduction in the
last five years of 19,000,000 acres in
the area of harvested crops, the Department
of Agriculture has disclosed
In an analysis of the agricultural census
statistics. Notwithstanding the
decrease, the crop area still la sufficient,
In the opinion of departxqjeat
experts, to maintain a large volume
f agricultural exports. v 77"
The 19,000,000 acres have reverted
to pasture or hare been allowed to lie
Idle, the cause being attributed
chiefly to the agricultural depression
of the last five years.
Largely as a result of the war-time
prices, about 40,000,000 acrea of pasture
land were plowed up and put Itfto
crops between 1909 and 1919, and
?bout 5,000,000 acres of forest land
cleared for crop*. Nearly half of
total, experts believe, was used to
meet the Increased European demand
for foodstuffs. Owing to the extraordinary
demands of the war period, the
acrAge of crop land In 1919 was nearly
ten years ahead of what had b^en~
ihe previous rate of expansion relative
to increase of population.
Plotted Path of the
Hurricane by Radio
Washington.?The use of the radio
compass In plotting I he course of a
storm has beeu revealed by an experiment
made during the recent hurrli'Rtic
which swept the West Indies and

statement from the Navy department.

Lewis Truesdale Drowned.
Lewis P. Truesdale, son of Mr. W.
R. Truesdale, of Westville, was ?
drowned Saturday afternoon while in
'bathing in R. L. Bell's fish pond at
Westville. The tragic death of this
well known and popular young man

by all who knew him. Three sisters
and five brothers survive him. v ,
Young Truesdale, with his brother,
Robert and Johnnie Cox? went in bathing

Bwimmlng but with Robert and saved
him frorp drowning. While he was
getting Robert ont of the water Lewis
was drowned. The alarm was immediately
