FEW LYNCH|NCS
 IN PAST YEAR
Only Fifty-Two Killings of This Order Are Recorded as Compared With Much Greater Number in Other Years

tHlCAGO, H.. Jan. 4-Onlv fifty two Iynchings, known to be such be- Nond doubt, occurred in the United states in the year just closed. In pre- VlouS years the number has been much larger, 190 having been recorded in 1894 and TO in the year following The past ten years the number has been StedullN decreasing. Only one year, however, produced fewer lynchings than 1912. In 1907 the record shows 5l lynchings, one less than this year.
 In some of the southern states there were fewer lynihingS in 1912 than in almost any previous year The decrease IS attributed largely to the efforts made by governors and prominent citizens to prevent mob violence. Many of the governors have acted promptly and en- ergetically to prevent lynchings, with the declared policy of giving the law free opportunity for the punishment of all alleged offenders, white or black
 Again. IS in the record of former years, more lynchings occurred in Ge- orgia than in any other state Louisi- ana and Florida come next in the list. South Carolina. whose governor has Sp4l' OII ItCOIu dS unOppOSed 10 lNnCI = ings in certain cases. had six cases of summary execution this year as against only one in the year 1911. Kentucky, win eight lynchings in 1911, had a clean slate this year. Oklahoma is an- other state with a clean record for the past twelve months. The figures for Texas, Tennessee, Florida and Arkan- sas show feWed lynchings than in 1911 In Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana the number slightly exceeded that of last year.
 The states outside of the south where lynchings occurred in 1912 were West Virginia, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota and California By states the record is as follows: Georgia, 14; Louisiana, s; South Carolina, s: Flori- da, ,; Alabama, 4 Arkansas, 8; Texas 3; Mississippi. 3; Tennessee, l; Wyom- ing, West Virginia, l; Montana, 1; California 1; and North Dakota. l.
 In the fifty-tWo lynchings the vic tim of all but two were negroes. Three negresses were included in the list. At legged crimes against women or girls and the murder of white persons ac- count for practically all the cases.
 A singular feature is found in the lynching of the two white men, both ot which occurred in the far south. IT each case the victim was accused o1 murder In the town of JOppa, shor'

Use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets freely for a while and all trace of stomach trouble will be gone. Dieting is a fallacy.
