South Carolina Shows an Increase
OF Five Over 1911
MOST OF VICTIMS NEGROES

Chicago. H., Dec 2G-Only fifty
two lynchngs, known TO be such be-
yond doubt, occurred in the United
States in the year now closing. In
previous years the number has been
much larger 1870 having been recorded
in 1891 and 1I0 i'm the year following,
The past ten years the number has
been steadily decreasing. only one
year, however produced fewer lynch
ngs than 1912. In 1907 the record
shows 81 lynchings, one less than this
wear.
In some of the southern states there
Were fewer lynchings in 1912 than IN
almost any previous year. The de-
crease is attributed to the efforts by
governors and prominent citizens to
prevent mob violence. Many of the
governors have acted promptly and
euergetically to prevent iynchiugs
with the declared policy of giving the
law free opportunity for the punish
meut of all alleged offenders, white
or black.
Again, as ia the record Of former
years, more lynchings occurred in
Louisiana and .l'lorida come next in
the list South Carolina whose gov
ernor has gone on record as unOppos-
ed to lynching in certain cases, had
six cases of summary execution this
year as against only one in the year
1911. Kentucky, with eight lynchings
in 1911. had clean slate this year.
oklahoma is another state with a
clean record for the past twelve
months. The figures for Texas. Ten
nessec. Florida and Arkansas show
fewer lynchings than in 1911 In Miss
;ssippi. Alabama and Louisiana the
number slightly exceeded that of last
year.
The states outside Of the south
where lynching occurred in 1912 were
West Virginia, Wyoming, Montana,
North Dakota and California. Iy
states the record Is as follows: Geor-
gia. II; Louisiana. s; South Carolina.
6: Florida g. Alabama, 4; Arkansas,
,; Texas, 3. Mississippi, 3, Tennessee,
II: Wyoming, /; West Virginia. L;
Montana. 1. California. /, and North
Dakota. I.
All But Two Negroes.
In the fifty-two lynchings the victims
of all but two were negroes. Three
negresses were included in the list.
Alleged crimes against women or girls
and the murder Of white persons ac-
count for practically all of the cases.
singular feature is found in the
lynching of the two white men, botn
ot which occurred in the far north. In
each case the victim WAS accused ut
murder In the town of Joppa. a short
distance from Rosebud. Mont. Harry

PREPARING RECEPTION
FOR THE PRESIDENT
Mr. Taft VIII Remain for Over an
Hour fin Jacksonville
Friday Night

One hour and ten minutes is the
time President Taft will have to spend
in Jacksonville next Friday evening.
He will leave Washington at 1890 p.
m. Thursday, and arrive in this city at
GAS p. m. Friday. After the reception
and speech here he will resume his
journey to Key West at 1855 p. m.
The reception and speech will be
open to the public. For that reason it
is probable that the auditorium of the
Morocco Temple will be used. The
presidential party will be met al the
union depot by a committee from the
Board of Trade. 1t is probable that a
large squad of mounted police will be
on duty to escort the chief executive
TO the temple.
1t is likely that the local. battalion
of state troops may be ordered out.
They will probably be stationed along
both sides of the street In front of the
temple, where they will present arms
as the presidents party enters and
leaves the hall
Music will be furnished by the or
chestra and perhaps the military band
Flowers viii be provided for the ladies
and everything will be done TO make
the presidents stop in Jacksonville a
pleasant one. No banquet will be
served owing to the short space of
time Mr.. Taft can be in the city
On the return trip from Panama, Mr.
Taft will not stop here for over ten
minutes. AT that time there will be
no reception, although a committee
may be sent TO the train to exchange
greetings Metropolis.

ATTENTION TO STATE AFFAIRS
VIII Take Up Wilson's Time to March
4.-Hasn't Considered AppIica-
tions of Office Seekers

New York, Dec 17.-President-e elect
Wilson returned yesterday from his
vacation trip to Bermuda. The steam
ship Bermudian, which carried him and
his party, docked here a few minutes
after a. m.
Not an announcement as to politics
or anything else did the governor have
to make on his arrival
I'm going to devote myself to New
Jersey affairs he said. After a few
hours in New York he planned to go
direct TO his home in Princeton, so as
to be on hand at the state house in
Trenton early tomorrow for the reg
ular budget of state business
The president-elect brought with
him his annual message to the New
Jersey legislature, which meets on
January II. 1t embodies every plank
in the democratic state platform. New
Jersey is just now paramount in the
governors mind and it is quite likely
that until he is able to complete his
program OF progressive legislation he
will not only continue in office as gov
ernor but will not take up many Of
the preliminary tasks of office filling
with respect TO his presidential ad-
ministration.
AS to appointments, Governor Will
son admits that while selections have
been running through his head. he
has not decided finally on any position
of Importance and has not even chos-
en- private secretary.

Men on It's Rolls

washington, Dec. 17.-There was a
net decrease of five officers and a net
increase of 4,455 enlisted men in the
authorized strength of the regular
army last year. The annual report of
Brigadier-General George Andrews,
adjutant- general of the army, shows
1892 officers and S7,141 enl sted men
as the authorized strength, although
the actual strength is 1850 officers
and 1866 men. There were 1907
army officers on the retired list at the
close of the last fiscal year
General Andrews observes that the
regiments serving in the United States
and having the lowest percentages of
deserters last year were the Tenth
cavalry and the Twenty fifth infantry,
both negro organizations The deser-
tfOns from these regiments were 152
and 1.60 per cent of the whole num-
Der of enlisted men.
