raIIadesa Dld Not Lynch.

Talladega Mountain Home.
 According to figures compiled and printed in Sundays Montgomery Ad- vertiser there have been during 1927 forty-two .lynchings in the country to date against sevtnty-two in 1906. Louisiana eads the list with nine and Alabama and Mississippi tie for second place with seven lynchings. The Ad- vertiser gives Talladega credit for one lynching-that of Fred Singleton, who killed Assistant Chief of Police Thomas s K. Thompson on November 3rd. The Talladega affair was published abroad as a lynching. but Fred Singleton was not lynched. but killed by a sheriff s posse while resisting arrest. and the fact was so declared upon an investi- gation by the grand jury of the City Court called together by Judge G.. K Miller for that purpose a few days af- ter Singleton was killed.
 Talladega County has never had a lynching and The Home hastens to make a correction of The Advertiser mistake. which, however. was natural one under the circumstances. as at the time Singleton was killed 1t was pub Iished broadcast as lynching.

 News comes to the effect that there has just been inaugurated by the Meth odist people of Linden. a movement looking to the erection of new church and a parsonage at that place. It Is not known whether they will build the parsonage on the lot owned by rhe congregation near the old church or not Some of the members are reported to favor the purchase of an improved lot in a more desirable section of the town. perhaps near the court house.
 The movement has already assumed definite shape and a recently appoint ed committee is now circulating a sub scription paper. which. 1t Is learned. is being met with liberal donations by the members of this church.
 The ladies of the church propose to use the money they have on hand in the erection of a new church. They have been working energeticallv and patiently for several years and now have several hundred dollars with which to make a start.
 Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock the Methodist Church of Linden was crowded by an appreciative audience who had gathered to listen to the splendid program rendered by the mem bers of the Epworth League of that place
 One specially interesting feature or the occasion was the talk made bv Miss Cortez. a Mexican student in the Nor nal school at Livingston.
 The League was organized in Linden only short time ago. but there is a membership now of more than thirty young people. all of whom are said to be very much enthuseS and In earnest In the work. One most commendable fact is the report that the parents and older people of Linden are showing a disposition to encourage and assist the young folks in their work.
