Advancement of Colored People announces from its * offices at C9 Fifth Ave., New- York "City, that there is a steadily grow jng expression of sentimerrt^in The South that tends?to make lynching a disreputable sport. More and more ' the influential agencies of the white South are putting the stamp of their disapproval on lynching and mob violence. Thjs fact -can -be contrasted .with 20 years ago, before the Asso. ciatigp began. Its propaganda -and and expose' of lynching. At that "time editors, preaqhurs, politicians, and even government officials either condoned or -justified lynching.
