We played games, cards, checkers,

had very good time. Then we

After lunch we had still more COM

Long, long ago the Pilgrims came
across the sea to find place to live.
They came to America. Here they
built their homes out of logs. They
had one big house which they lived
in first.
Some OF the people died of hunger,
cold and sickness, and the Indians
killed some.
Here in America they worshiped
in their own way. In the fall they

SENATOR FALL AND TIE MEX.
CAN PROBLEM.

II Senator Fall Of New Mexico real
ly intends to Introduce resolution
calling on the President to name the
Government to which he proposes to
accredit Mr.. Fletcher, appointed AM
bassador to Mexico, on the ground
that the Senator has no knowledge Of
the existence Of any Government IN
that country, his aim Is obviously TO
discredlt the cooperation Of the Uni
ted States Government with those Of
the Latin-American Republics in the
recent effort to adjust the Mexican
difficulties. Apart from the fact that
the recognition Of foreign Govern
ments rests exclusively with the
President, this seems a very foolish
thing TO do. Our improved relations
with Latin America have caused gem
eral satisfaction. Moreover, the
course Of Carranza since his reeog-
milton has justified that action. II
Senator Fall can discover no Gov

err difficult for him to discover a rev
olution there nov. while the business
of the republic i picking up, railway

been resumed, aud the disposition Of

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JAN. Is. 1916
s. LYNCHINGs IN 1915.

or the Sc lynchings reported IN
1916, Is of which occurred In Georgia,
IN at least four cases 1t was found
later that an innocent victim had
been killed.
LynehIng is a crime which cannot
be condemned because the melting
act Is infuriating. This fact, indeed.
because 1t deprives men aroused TO
passionate frenzy of any ability to
weigh the evidence Of guilt OF the
victim, makes the wrong all the
greater and that wrong Is committed
not only upon the sufferer. but upon
the community and those principles
of law and order upon which civil
ization Is founded.
Our community was stirred ONLY
recently TO its depths by a dastardly
and brutal outrage so that every drop
of blood In the county crosses through
the veins hot with passion.
Lynch law cannot be regarded with
too much horror nor deprecated too
strongly and when the proyocation
to 1t arises every man who values
law and order should set himself
sternly against Il.
The last lynehing TO occur In this
county took place years ago At
Spring Mills. where a colored man
was hung to tree and his body rid
died with bullets.
We sincerely hope our community
will not have the like to be charged
up against it again.
