In the Harlem court 1t was no easy
matter for a negro porter to explain
Just what had hit him, says the New
York Sun. His head was neatly bound
in the gauzy whiteness Of first aid. and
but for brace Of dark and Indignant
eyes which flashed from the front of
the medical bundle and pair of large
and dark ears protruding from either
side he would have resembied a care
fully nodded, bullet-shaped SNOWFALL.
Through a slight slit in the sanitary
headgear the negro. explained that he
had been hit from 35 directions while
at work in cafe AT the time he as.
serted he was engaged in 'scolding the
boss about his small wages, the class
OF persons who came to the cafe and
the superiority Of the negro race over
The white in every detail except their
genral color scheme. "Well. who hit
YOU" asked the magistrate "Wc.l-lr

The Dispatch has no free sites to

be fine if there could be free sites,
but we are not sure that is wise to
permit a few land grabbers to take
hold Of our towns available business

as will drive away new investors

CONCERNING LYNcHlNes.

The attention Of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, the ancient and honorable Au-
gusta Chronicle, the Herald-Journal,
the Dalton Citizen and a few other
Georgia papers is respectfully called
10 the fact that there were only seven
lynchings. in Georgia Hast year and
that the Chicago Tribune and the Tus-
kegee Institute figures were incorrect.
-Madsonian 81.
We also wish to inform the esteem
cd Madisonian that five of the seven
lynchings were proved innocent and
that seven lynchings a year are seven
too many.-North Georgia Citizen.
I That's right. Say it over again. We
know how quickly somebody will fling
it back at us fdh saying that no lynch
ing should occur. We are often CON
fronted with the question as to what
we would do ii the criminal got into
our family and ki4as And just as often
do we assert that'it would be no more
proper for us to take the law into our
own hands than it would be for oh
ers to 90 likewise. 1t is not right
I.ynching should be put down with a
strong hand.
1t has gotten to where tie lyncher
is no respector Of person. He will
take the life OF white person as ruth,
lessly as he will that of the negro.
1t is a form of lawlessness as danger
Gus as bomb throwing. 1t knows NO
bounds, and the habit grows. It has
been clearly shown that the five ne
sroes lynched in Worth county were
all OF them innocent. Ter the frenzied
man who took part in that ineXcusablc
affair reflect
The negroes black skin doesn't jus
lily using him i'll this manner. Ii
that course is pursued long, the ne
gro's only salvation will be moving
away. even he does undergo the risk
Of i'll treatment elsewhere. Self pres,
cryaton is one Vi natures first laws.
Migration to the north and east will
nave its good effect in at least one
respect. 1t viii cause the white en-
ployer to look more carefully to the
negroes protectis4- heFe in order TO
keep him.
But the law abiding negro need nc;
fear bodily harm, so long as he can
look to white employer who will
not condono lynching OF the criminal
That much is necessary and the white
man is beginning to realize that mobs
do not get hold OF the guilty person
always When the mob starts for the
negro criminal, every negro in range
suffers, no matterA how innocent he
may be. Citizens of Georgia are be-
ginning to realize that they must elm
mate the mob entirely in order TO pre-
tect the law abiding.

The case of eight creamery corpora
tions and IL individuals, indicted last
February at Boise, Idaho, on charge
of violation of the Sherman antitrust
act, have been continued by agreement
and will not come to trial before the
February, 1918, term of court.
Imports through the Washington
customs district for August were $751;
063,000, the largest months receipts
in the history of this or any other coast
district. The total exceeds by $11,-
100000 the next largest month, which
was May of this year. Almost half
the imports are from Japan.

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

Eight cars, containing 1850 March
lambs, were shipped last week from
Republic, Wash, over the Great North
ern railway destined for the Chicago
market. They were sold to the Union
Meat Co. of Portland by the L. Wor-
den Co. at II cents gross, and their
average weight is SO pounds.
The composite condition of all crops
of the United States on September
was 2.5 per cent more than their 10
year average on that date, 81 per cent
more than on August l, and 78 per
cent more than final yields last year
The total acreage in cultivation this
year is about 3 per cent more than
last year.
Crops around Orofino, Idaho, are
proving better than was thought
earlier in the season. Lots of beans
were planted this year and these are
running 700 to 900 pounds to the acre.
Wheat is about one-half the normal
yield or Is to 20 bushels to the acre.
Both will show very fair returns at
prevailing prices.
The fruit packing houses at Freewa'
ter, Ore, are doing a rushing business
in prunes. The new firm of SPECIAL
Bros. & Simmons is doing a fine bust
ness in fruits of all kinds, and espe-
cially prunes. 1t has shipped II cars
of prunes and two cars of mixed fruits
and will ship 80 cars before the sea
son ends. Allen Matthes of the Denny
Fruit Co. says that the prune tonnage
will be the largest in the history OF
the company and will cover more thar
half the tonnage of the district. The
company has shipped 40 cars and the
total output from this house alone
will amount to 100 cars. All cars have
been sold f. o. b.
