To De rottlnR in the ground and the corn
crop somewhat damaged BY too much mois-
ture. on the tablelands. however the
heavy fali OF rain has served TO put the
corn crop in a SPLENDID condition The
temperature average for the past week has
been considerably below normal, and sun
shine is needed.
The rainfall, exceeded an inch in most
parts OF the State. and ran TO over four

weather has caused winter wheat To ripen
slowly and has delayed harvesting; con-

week and the heavy rains seem to have had
little Injurious effect upon the wheat crop

STATIsTICIANs announce that there were 11S
legal executions in the United States last year,
Of whom IL we're black and AZ white The
number lynched was larger than the number
sentenced to death. The Philadelphia Record
thinks that the uncertainty punishment has
much to do with mob violence, especially in the
South the law Is not given an opportunity to be
enforced especially where the cu prit is colored
man. He is hunted down like dog and shot
where he is found. If the law was permitted to
take its course he would meet with his full
measure of punishment, while in many cases,
possibly, innocent men would not suffer unjustly.
