DUTY TO READ
NEWSPAPERS.

While exceptions may be taken to
many German proced ures, the auth
critics in that country are correct
when they make it incumbent upon
the people to read newspapers.
The court at Osnabruek, Prussia, has
decided that the persual of newspap-
ers is now a duty Of citizens. Resi-
dents in neighbvs:ng village sold
a small quantity of wool contrary to
regulations, and pleaded in defense
that the particular regulation was not
placarded in the village, as has been
customary, and apneared only in
the >newspapcrs, which thew did not
read. The court ruled that "per-
sons who now re>c no newspapers
act culpabIy. and cannot plead ignor-
ance of wartime regulations as justi-
fcation."

TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.
Victims Alleged TO Have lnsuItcd
White Girl.

HartWcil, Ga, Jan. 1.-Two colorcd
men were ynchcd and colorcd wo-
man badly beaten as the result Of an
alleged insult to a white girl in An
dcrson county, S. G., according to re-
ports received here last night.
The story of the encounter was told
by the woman, named Sims, who ar
rived in Hartwcll yesterday, claiming
that after she had been beaten she
had been ordered out Of South Caro-
lima by The mob.
1t was claimed that the coorct
men, one a brother and The other q
cousin OF the woman, were riding in
Il buggy when they passed the girl.
1T was alleged they called out "HcIlo
sweetheart The woman asserts that
all they said was "1lclo."
The girl reported the affair, and
the mob quickly formed, aud after =
chase, caught the coIorcd mon. Ono
il was reported, was shot as he broke
away and ran. According to the
sheriff Of Anderson county, the where.
abouts Of only ono Of the colcred me-.
is unknown. He says The other IS in
Jail.

or more than one-fourth, of the total
iynchings, occurred in the State Of
Georgia.
It is gratifying 20 know that no
such overt acts took place in Virginia
during the year which closed last
Friday night. According to the
abov figures, there gas an increase
in lynchings last year over those Of
1914. Mob law is to be deplored.
It will be. seen elsewhere that two
negroes were lynched on the allega.:
ton that they had insulted white
woman. This the victims denied.

ANTI-KISSING AND
ANTI-WHISKERS.

A serious effort is to be made TO
make Richmond a kissless town. Dr.
r. S. Levy. chief health officer Is
convinced that kisses are sprcadcrs
of disease, particularly OF the deadly
grippe.
The Journal suggests that the Ia"
would be in violation of the Virginia
Bill of Rights, whose author, George
Mason. seemed with prophetic vision
TO foresee just SUCH a contingency
The bill distinctly guarantees to citl-
zens of this State undisturbcd "pur-
suit of happiness and now if a law
prohibiting kissing is enacted and en-
forced how can happiness be furth-
or pursued! -.
Another calamity threatens Rich
,,ond Whjskers also carry germs
and spread disease. and it IS SAID tNa'
an anti-whiskcr order may soon hc
promulgated. Notwithstanding the
protest of bank directors, and VcsCr!-

cd earnest thought and infinite labor

tion made in the Corporation Court
. her husband, Sandy Brooks, had re-

in the introduction to the Arabian
Nights Entertainments, found a iusry
black man sleeping by the side of his
better half. Incensed at the reve-
lation, he attacked his wife, cutting
her seriously. He was sentenced to
serve thirty days in Jail by the Cor
noration Court. The woman swore
she was sleeping with her little son
at; the time and that no man was
about the premises. Brooks was
positive he found man with her
and not their son. The boy was put
upon the stand to corrobrate his moth
cr's statement, but It was suspected
that he hadb coached by the victim
