defendant. being farmers, have con- victed white man on a charge of murders committed under the most in humane and revolting circumstances
 The defendant was under investiga- uon on the charge of peonage before these murders were committed. Federal inspectors had spent severai days on his farm Investigating that charge.
 Shortly after they left, eleven negro labOrers on the farm were mysteriously killed, and it appears that everyone of them had been seen by and given tes- timony to the federal investigations with reference to the peonage charge
 Three of the murdered blacks were drownd like dogs with bags of rocks suspended by wire and chains from their necks, in Yellow river, in Newton county, just across the Jasper county line.
 A negro, Clyde Manning, confessed, and swore on the witness stand that he had not only assited in the drowning of those men, under duress and the direction of his employer, the defend ant, John Williams, but that, under similar circumstances, he had either killed or assisted in the killing, of the other eight; and he told the off cers exactly where the bodies were buried on the Williams farm.
 The officers took him to the scenes of the murders, and the bodies were

Doubtful Stock Promoters Fleece People

About one-half billion of dollars was lost to
the people of this nation through investment in
doubtful or worthless securities during the year
1920, according to Mr. Harry T. Guest, in the
New York Globe Of this sum he estimates the
promoters of these worthless securities realized
$125, 900 from the sacrifices of Liberty
bonds and Victory notes. 1t is estimated that
the loss toll paid by American people approx
mated So per head for every man, woman and
child in the country.
The testimony given by Mr.. Houston Thomp-
son, member of the federal trade commission,
before the house judiciary committee recently.
is the authority for the statement that half a
billion dollars was squandered annually by people
of this nation through speculation in worthless
securities.
Among the victims who fell prey to the allur-
ing promises made by the manipulators of the
doubtful and worthless stocks and other secur-
ties were men and women in all walks of life. A
good many of them had denied themselves the
necessities of life and responded to the patriotic
call of the government to buy Liberty bonds and
Victory notes in order to help carry on the war
to successful termination. Most of these
people parted with the government securities
they acquired during the war in exchange for
securities which, Mr.. Guest alleges, were not
worth the paper they were printed on.
Since the launching of the Liberty loan CAM
paigns, and particularly since the signing of the
arrnistice, the United States treasury has con-
Quoted a systematic campaign through its fed
eral reserve district organizations urging the
continuance of the habit of saving and has con-
tinuously warned the public not to part with
their government securities in exchange for
bonds and stocks of doubtful character. People
were cautioned to investigate the securities of
fered them before they invested their money.

Why We Lose Foreign Trade

Let the business men of the United States
quit trying to tell Latin Americans what they
ought to buy and offer them what they really
want to buy, if they do not wish to be left behind
in the race for commercial supremacy in South
America"
This is the advice of Senator Sebastian
Sampao, former managing editor of the power
full Rio Janeiran Daily formal de Commerce., and
at present commercial attache for Brazil in the
United States. In this advice the Brizilian am
bassador, Augusta Cochrane de Alencar, heartily
concurs.
Great Britain and Germany are straining
every nerve to overcome the lead which Ameri-
cans gained in that race during the war;" says
Mr.. Sampaio. "No advantage is too small for
an English or German exporter to seize upon,
of work. AS a result, while the American ex-
port trade to Brazil for 1920 increased by 80 per
cent over that of 1919, the percentage of gain
for Great Britain was 106, and for Germany
3,000l
However you have one great advantage.
Brazilians like Americans and admire them. My
countrymen wish to do business with you, and
would prefer buying from you when they con-
sistently can do So But they will not buy from
you when your competitors quote lower prices,
or grant longer credits, or go to greater lengths
TO provide exactly what is asked for They will
not buy from you, either, if you refuse to buy
from them. They may not buy from you even
though all other conditions are equal if your
representative does not speak Portuguese, or if
your correspondent does not write to them in
