VICTIM Of RACE HATRED

Sir Edgar Speyer, member of a
banking firm that has houses In Lon.
don. Frankfort and New York. has
truly become victim of race hatred
generated by the war. Because he is
a native Of Germany. his loyalty to
England. his adopted country, was
fiercely attacked, and finally he re-
signed his post as privy councillor and
came to America. He tried also to re-
sign his baronetcy. but found he would
have to remain a nobleman for life.
Sir Edgar has lived most of his
life In England and was made a baro-
net because of his munificent philan-
thropies and his public spirit. Up to
the outbreak of the war he was one
Of the most popular men in London,

are odd-looking sketches, consisting of

who goes into it, however, should
make up his mind that he must be
prepared to grow a good percentage
OF his steers and not rely entirely
upon feeders to be picked up on the
markets.
Recently the prediction was made
that beefsteak would advance to 80
cents pound and that pair of shoes
in the fairly near future will sell for
$40. Possibly these predictions will
never be literally fulfilled, as it is
certain that the amount of beef con-
sumed will be tremendously reduced
as soon as the buying public is con-
fronted by such prices. However,
the limit of price climbing is usually
fixed by the amount people are both
willing and able to pay and it is GER
tain that beef will be higher before t
goes lower and stays there.
There never will be much relief in
the cattle shortage until more cattle

of marketing them than the present

AND HANGED.

Mayfield, KY, Feb. 10.-Thomas
Tinker, white, who 1t Is charged shot
and killed Constable Richard Tart, was
taken from the county jail here late
last night and lynched. His body was
then riddled with bullets.
The lynching was done by fifty or
more men, who rode in from the north
ern part of the county, where the
shooting of the constable took place.
Some of the men were masked.
Arriving In town the band Of lynch
ers went directly to the jail, where
they demanded that Tinker be given
over to them Jailer Douplin saw the
futility of resistance, 1t is, and the men
took Tinker from the Jail and hanged
him to tree on the south side of the
court house.
The shooting of Constable Tart oc.
