SEVENTY WE'RE LYNCHED.

Chicago Record Herlad.
Lynchings in 1909 numbered seventy,
the highest number recorded since
1904. The victims numbered eleven
whites and fifty-nine negroes. The
lynehings occurred in twelve states and
one Territory, New Mexico.
AS in previous years, crimes, or al
legged crimes, against white women
and murders caused most of these
summary executions. One case, occur-
ring in Cairo, ILL.,. combined both
causes and resulted in the placing OF
the city under military control for
several days.
The Cairo lynchings were the only
cases of the kind that occurred north
of the Ohio river during the year.
Several double lynchings occurred at
various points in the South, and Okla

In the following record the word

Letters to The Editor
THANKS TO PRESS.

I fed for Cooperation.

Southern Commercial Congress Grati-
fed for Cooperation.
The Southern Commercial Congress.
through its Executive Committee mas
issued the following letter of thanks:
Washington, D. c., Dec. 20. 1909.
To the Editors of the South.
Formal thanks for the genuine help
given to the work of the Southern
Commercial Congress by the newspa-
pers of the South, Is unsatisfactory. We
are obliged. however. to content our
selves at present with such form OF
acknowledgment.
The meetings of December 1908, were
directed towards proclaiming the great
sources of the South. and then inter-
preting them to prove great coming
development
The meetings of December, 1909, were
intended to point out some of the op-
portunities of the South in such way
as to create greater confidence within
the South itself, and attract investiga-
ton from outside. If you followed ali
six sessions you must have been aware
of the success with which this idea
was carried out. Over 1000 columns
OF news regarding the Southern Com
mercial Congress appeared in the South
December 6, and 8. Proofs of all
speeches, or abstracts in our hands oy
the morning OF December 4. were mali
ed during the night of December to
every Southern daily. In addition,
the Associated Press, the Hearst News
Service, and other news organizations
in washington sent reports of the Con-
gress throughout the entire country
and abroad. For all of this the South
as a whole is indebted to the public
press. We thank you for recognizing
that the prime necessity is for the
South to arouse itself to a completer
understanding of it's natural equip
ment for commercial victory.
Early In 1910 the Managing Director
will. under our authority, outline to all
Southern dailies a plan for keeping eyv-
cry community, through Its press. In
close touch with the progress OF the
whole South along all lines of devel-
opment.
Sincerely and gratefully yours. :.

THE FARMER AND HIGH PRICES.
statisticians OF high reputation have
figured that the Increased cost Of liv-
ing In the past ten years amounts to
40 per cent. While the American
high tariff has infiuenced to de-
gree this increase. the most notable
fact about IL is that the increase is
more largely due to the high price
of farm products than to anything
else. There Is Significance In this,
which should not be lost on the Ala
bama farmer. When the high cost OF
living is under discussion he should
remember that this increased cost is
largely brought about by the excep-
tionally high prices for farm products.
This means that the farmer who
lives at home is the direct beneficiary
OF the new conditions. He may raise
his own products on his farm for his
own use and he may sell his surplus
at the highest possible price. Cotton
Is fifteen cents. corn approximately
ninety cents bushel. all grain stuff
as high. as 1t ever was. and cattle on
the hoof are bringing record-breaking
prices. The farmer of all men can
protect himself from high prices. and
at the same time draw his benefits
from them.
1t Is the city man on a salary who
must suffer and who is helpless He
must buy everything at prices 40 per
cent. higher than they were ten years
ago. Salaries in ten years have as
general thing showed some increase
but they have showed no such in
crease as the cost of the articles
which must be bought with salaries.
A man who lived comfortably on his
salary ten years ago must now prac-
tice rigid economy. to dodge deficit
at the end of the month.
This condition should stop the con-.
slant movement by young men city
ward from the farm. The new condi-
lions are bearing down hard on the
man in the city, but they seem made
to order for the benefit of the man
on the farm. The progressive farmer
who lives at home never had finer
day than he has now. The more pro-
ducts he has to sell the better it is
for him: and on the other hand the
more. he has to buy in the city the
worse it is for him.
Alabama In the year which is just
closing probably grew more corn than
in any previous year of her history.
Never before has there been such In
terest manifested in new corn grow
ing methods. Prize acres were grown
all over the State and corn cribs are
full that were never full before. 1t
look ed as though Alabama was enter
ing upon a new era of corn growing.
And then cotton jumps to fifteen
cents, This may ultimately prove
doubtful blessing to the State. 1t is
certain to prove a doubtful blessing II
the Alabama farmers reconsider their
determination to grow more and lar
ger corn. crops and spread their cot
ton land out in the sedge fields and
fence corners The corn campaign viii
be given a severe test next year. 1t
will require courage for farmer to
devote large part of his acreage to
corn growing with cotton at fifteen
cents.
But it Is time to study conditions
and to be careful.
