Lynching ON the
Decrease
Clint tNich.) Journal. Jan. -


There has been gratifying demon
stration OF increased determination to
uphold the law against the mob in scv-
eral southern states, according 10 the
lynehing records Tor 1920, and the hope
IS strengthened that this rcproach MAY
be removed from the United States
much sooner than NC had dared hope a
few years ago. Instances Of the spread
OF the lynching contagion TO other sec
lions and the fact thai eight al the vic
TINS in the last twelve month, were
white. together with the demonstration
that federation OF the mob spirit may
menace any one, may be contributing to
a better understanding oi the danger
In 1920 there were siNty-onc instances
OF mob murder. and compared with
eight-threc the previous year and sixty
four two years ago shows encouraging
progress III apholding the law against
the mob. But it Is not the numerical
decrease that Is so encouraging rs the
fact that lifty-six attempts at lynch
ing were prevented by officers of the
law and lorty-sIN OF these were in
the South. Armed force was used TO
protect the prisoners in fourteen OF
thcsc and in four OF them mob, were
fred upon. seven rioters being killed
aud many wounded.
The lpnching record for the year
lust ended, humiliating though il be.
i at least an Improvement on that OF
1919. although not much better than
two years ago.

Critical Economic Situation.

the town Is feared unless prohibtivc
measures are taken shortly.
Statements made by white citizens
OF Gainesville and vicinity indicate
a critical economic situation is re-
suiting from the attempt to drive out
all labor. The Gainesville and North
western railroad has been haudi-
capped by the loss of all workmen.
Two large lumber mills. one million
dollar concern, are operating under
armed guards i'll an effort to retain
employees. A few farmers have armed
their tenants with shotguns and
maintain regular patrols. while others
are crippled by the resulting labor
shortage
According 10 statements made by
citizens OF Gainesville. the trouble
had its origin back in February OF
1920 when man was caught steal
ing a washpot from his employer.
The thief's home was shot up by UNI
known parties. The antagonism and
prejudice increased rapidly, leading to
the burning of lodges and homes
throughout that portion of the
county.
These citizens declared that no
overt crime on the part OF Negroes
was responsible for the outbreak in
February nor for that of more recent
date. They stated that the majority
who have been forced to flee their
homes possess good regulations in
their communities. Many of the
refugees are said to be taxpaying citi-
zens who have been forced TO aban-
don property OF considerable value.
Plan Armed Patrols.
There was some recrudescence OF
the trouble this past fall when farms
were first posted and laborers were
first warned that they must leave the
county. 1t was at this time, accord
ing to the statements of citizens in
close touch with the situation, that
certain white men determined TO re-
tain and protect their employees and
resorted to armed patrols as the only
effective means.
This course of action on the part
of whites brought number of
threats against their own property
and personal safety.
