EXAMPLE OF JUSTICE
 AT FIRST HAND.
Evidently He Was Murdered
 Because He Was 4 Negro.

l very interesting paragraph ap- pears in the Dumb Animals Magazine on question Of the right Of the ne groes 10 live in the southern states. The writer says:
 1 letter from 2 South Carolina friend szEs, Of the lyinching Of Anthony Craw- lord. Q wealthy Negro. at Abbeyille lasv month: He was taken fro mthe all. stripped Of his clothes and dragged with q rope around his neck behind a wagon thru the streets. having been badly, if not fatally. beaten before be- ing killed. No masks were worn.
 Hundreds knew the names of his ulurderers. II was three o'clock in the afternoon. He had had an alter ration with white man which had led 10 blows. The jury returned a verdict. He was lynched by parties unknown 10 The jury"
 On this subject, The State, a news paper published in Columbia, s. C.. says:
 The lynching Of this man Crawford brings squarely to the front whether or nor a mob shall be permitted, in contempt Of the law. to take negro ouC Of jail and kill him because he is a negro. after he has committed an assault and battery upon a white man, not white woman.
 Tt makes a clean issue without any of the icidents so often used to be- clour and confuse the mbinds of men about lynching. Shall negroes in South Carolina receive the protection of law or are they outside of it's pro tection? 1T this crime in Abbevi!le shall be 'hushed up.' if the grand jury Of Ab5eviile county snail ignore it. if the executive officers shall forget it. there will be no answer to the raiiIngs Of Northern critics that law for tho negro's protection does not exist in South Carolina.
 We shall watch with interest to see what South Carolina does to free it, self from this monstrous shame.

WRANGELL BEATS ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD
 SCORE 35 TO 25!
Cancels Game with Douglas, Not
 Getting Fair Play, They Say.

JUNEAU, Jan. 11-With one of the i largest crowds in attendance seen at a
 basket ball game here, with a large number of ladies present, WrangelI again scored. beating the Arctic Brot herhood team in a red hot game with B to 25 points in their favor.
 The score at the end of the first half was nineteen to Wrangells credit and twelve to the A. B. team. The Juneauites however pulled the score nearly to a tie with 21 to 24 early in the stage of the second half and enthu- siasm and betting ran high, but the steady and acurate playing of the Wrangellites slowly but surely led them away ahead of the Brotherhood team, with the above result. The play CTS from the southern city contested the right of one of the A. B. players to play, on account of his being a pro- fessional player and cancelled their en- gagement to play with Douglas sched- uled to take place tonight They state they have not been getting a square deal from the northern teams, who are all trying to rush in professional play CTS against them, and they will not stand for it. They will leave for home on the Mariposa which arrives here Saturday, and which will make a spec ial stop at Wrangell to let them off.

AIRPLANES TO AID
 COAST GUARD WORK.
Congress is Said To Favor An Appropriation For That
 Purpose

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Airplanes for the United States coast guard. au- thorized during the last session of Congress, are considered by govern ment officials and legislators of coast states almost certain to be provided for by the present Congress. The naval bill, now pending. carries an ap- propriation to purchase aircraft for the coast guard. The bill will be reach. cd in the course of the next fortnight and it is freely predicted by those con cerned now in Washington that before the end Of the next year, airplanes will be patrolling the Atlantic and Pac- fife Coasts and adding materially to the efficiency Of that branch of ser vice whose function it is to preserve life and property from the elements.
 Coast guard headquarters, anticipat- ing the appropriation, has already de- tailed several junior officers to take courses Of instruction in flying. They are now at naval aviation stations. Officers are also formulating plans for inaugurating the inovation. When d ship is in trouble too far offshore to be reached by line-throwing guns, they declare, the airplane may carry a rope 10 the distressed vessel which may re- suit in the saving of many lives and much property. Airplanes can also carry lines to wrecks when the sea is too rough for lifeboats. In definitely locating derelects the airplane should prove invaluable. officials declare.
