lar good one or it would not have in
tefested you so much; and now, you
can hardly give an intelligent idea
of what it was about! Men are very
stupid.
There are, as 1 take it, two good
reasons behind this interest which
we must all confess in the little
square hole in the paper where a
clipping has been cut out. In the
first place, the mind demands COM
pleteness, and the hole is direct evi-
dence of vacuity. Nature abhors a
vacuum. If the paper were complete
we might skim over, the page and
never notice that item; but we can
not fail to see the hole. '-.:.a..-.
The other reason is that we have
a right to be interested in what man.
ifestly has interested some one else.
Someone must have thought that
was a good item, or he would not
have. gone to the trouble of cutting
it out. It is a fair assumption that
that item was the best thing there
was in the paper.
NThere is in Springfield, ILL.,, a
single file of a paper which has
been published continuously in that
city since the day of Abraham Lin
coin. It was originally the Office file
and Aow it is in the State Historical
Library. On a certain page an item
is missing. There is reason to believe
that Lincoln himself wrote that
item, for he was a close friend of
the editor, Mr.. Francis, and a fire.
uuent contributor of signed and un-
signed artices in the Journal. 1t is
believed, also, that Lincoln himself
cut the article out.
A great many people have specula-
ted about that article, which was a
short one, and why Lincoln was
sorry he wrote it; for it is assumed
that he changed his mind and wished
he had not written it. But no one
can be quite certain. All that lies be-
hind these opinions is vague rll-
NOR and hole.
A hole in the center of a newspa-
per can be the ground of a good
deal of speculation,

SAFEGUARDING FRUIT.

Clemson College, February-The
occurrence of destructive frosts dur
ing the blooming season is one Of the
most discouragjng factors which fruit
growers >save to contend with in this
state. Experiments in frost preven-
tion were undertaken to limited ex-
tent during the past season, by the
horticultural division of the South
Carolina Experiment Station. The
spraying of the trees with whitewash
and other mixtures was found to be
without effect in delaying the open
ing of the buds or the period of
bloom.
Orchard heating by means Of
small open fires at frequent intervals
through the orchard was practiced
on two occasions. In this way it was
found possible to raise the tempera-
ture in the orchard from two to
three degrees.
The method of. pruning was found
to have considerable effect upon the
production of a crop following frosts
in the blooming season. Those
peach trees the tops of which were
left rather dense have produced
crop of fruit while those
that were severely pruned gave little
or no fruit. In the former case much
of the fruit was on the inner portion
of the tree or near the base OF the
fruiting branches where the blossoms
were somewhat protected from cold
air or excessive radiation of heat
Moreover, the greater number OF
blooms resulting from the enlarged
fruiting surface increases the chance
for a crop. ::

An example Of his facility in meet
ing any situation, awkward or un-
pleasant, is shown'by two of his prize
stories. He was in company of ju-
bilant Republicans who were glohting
over the late. election landslide. The
gloats grew more and more pronounc-
ed and the dreams of future more
and more rosy. Then Marshall was
given chance. He said:
"Well, you folks are feeling NIGH
ty cockey. That's all right. You're
telling what you are going to do.
That's all. right. Dream on. Only you
sort of remind me of the colored boy,
homeward bound from France, who
leaning on the. ships rail, said to his
black buddy:
"Boy, when I.Sgits ashore do you
know what I'm goin' to do? Well,
I'm agoin' to git me white hat an
white pants, an white gloves, an a
white vest an I'm goin' to walk right
up Fifth avenue with white gal on

boy?"
":Well," sad the other, I reckon
I'll git me black coat, an black
pants, an a black tie, an black shoes
an tie some crepe on my left arm,
an be all ready to go to yo' funeral.
"But," continued the vice presi-
dent, 81 shouldn't tell that story. In
fact I shouldn't say anything. We
Democrats shouldn't talk just now,
No, we are like the colored congre-
CATION that ran short of communion

"They asked one of the sisters who
was especially skilled in some of the
more modern domestic arts and
science to manufacture a supply,
She couldn't get her usual ingredi'
ents so she made her wine out OF
persimmons-green persimmons. 1t
was good stuff. It had a kick. But af-
ter communion the congregation
was so puckered it had to whistle the
doxology.
THAT'S US. If we can't sing we can
whistle"

ooh, it wasn't much of anything.
Just a little item that caught my

NEGRO LYNCHED
BY GEORGIA MOB
Paws With Life For Murder Of Wo.
man-Removed From Jail

Athens, Ca, Feb. 16.-Seyen
thousand men composing mob
from Clarke, Oconee and adjoining
sou.....cs tonight stormed the Clarke
county Jail and secured John Lee
Eberhardt "a negro, held for the
murder Of Mrs. Walter E. Lee, aged
"a years, of Oconee county. The
negro was taken from the jail to the
scene of the crime, seven miles east
Of here ana burned, according to re-
ports received here at midnight.
Eberhardt paid the penalty for
sne of the most startling and foul
murders in the history of this Sec
ton, when at o'clock this morning
he IS alleged to have killed Mrs. Lee,
the wife of Walter E. Lee who is
employed at the Madison Braided
Cord company in Clarke county,
near the Oconee county line. A
double barreled shotgun was used,
both loads entering the head and the
hack of the woman.
The method employed by the mob
M securing the negro from jail,
which is said to be the most modern
m the state, established precedent
unheard of in this section and prob
ahly the first in the history Of the
country. A huge modern blow torch
was employed by the mob to allow
It's members to gain entrance after
Sheriff Jackson resisted the mob to
the last.
It is said that members of the
mob climbed up the elevator shaft
of the Clarke county court house to
the top floor where the Jail is loca-
ted. There they put the torch in play
on a lock, which secured one of the
rear entrances to the prison. While
ether members of the mob kept the
county officials busy in front, \the
tnnch melted the big brass paddock
and an entrance was effected.
Th same men entered the prison,
uent to the negro's cell and ever
powered him. They lowered him
down the elevator shaft and made
their escape into the seething mass
af angry men awaiting outside.
With mighty shout the mob
yelled, 'Lynch him here: Lynch him
herev' But the ringleaders placed
the negro in an automobile and
started off in the direction of the
0cenee county line Hundreds of
automobiles fell in line in the rear
sf the car containing the negro.
Hen by the score ran along at the
siie Of the machines. One hour later
the mob arrived at the scene of the
crime They formed circle around
Me ringleaders' automobile. They
waited few minutes until prelimi-
nny arrangements could be made
md then the negro was taken from
tie machine and led to spot in
field directly across the road from
where Mrs. Lee was shot down.
A stake was Immediately driven
INTO the ground. Small twigs and
Hiue wood were thrown around it
md Eberhardt was placed in the
center. He was tied to the stake and
dc torch applied. Twenty minutes
szter the fire died out. The negro's
dnrred body fell into IT'S ashes.

SEEK TO ENJOIN
USE OF TITLE
Members of UnincOrpOrated
Alliance Franchise File Suit.

Action to obtain an injunction to pre-
vent an organization recently incorpOr-
ated from using the name of the Alliance
Franchise was instituted, today in Supe-
rior Court. Room 1, by Henry R. Danner
and twenty nine other prominent citizens
who are members of the Alliance Fran
caise of Indianapolis, an unincorporated
society, which was formed in 1916 for the
purpose of ''proomting friendly relations
between French and American people"
and to encourage literature and the arts.
The defendants to the actions are the
Alliance Franchise Of indianapolis, cor
poration; Edward J. Du Bots, J. H
Nicolas, Donald Graham and Guy A
Wainwright as members of the incor-
pOrated society.
Counsel for the plaintiffs stated while
fling the suit that the defendants were
formerly members of the unincorporated
| body and, following a disagreement. the
defendants formed what they called the
Circle Franchise and later Incorporated
under the name of the Alliance Franchise
of Indianapolis, which is the same name
of the unincorporated society.
The petition states that the defendant
society was incorporated on May 4, 1921.
An injunction is asked to protect the
name of the plaintiff organization, it is
stated.
The petition asks that temporary in
junction be issued and after a hearing a
permanent injunction be issued against
the defendants.

RAILWAY HEAD
DEFENDS RATES
Declares Business Depression
Not Due to Road
Tariffs.

WASHINGTON, May 10.--With a de-
Tense Of present freight rates and a pro-
test against the conduct of the Govern
ment during Federal control of the rail-
roads, the railroad executives opened
their case today when the Senate inter
state commerce committee began a
probe of the railroad situation.
Freight rates are not responsible for
business depression" declared julius
KruttschAitt, chairman Of the board of
the Southern Pacific, first witness for
the railroad executives. ut was a general
deflation and fall in prices from the
heights TO which they had been driven
by war conditions that has caused a
stagnation of business throu ghout the
world.
1.-THE Government having strangled the
railroads into something like bank
ruptcy, at last removed its hands and
permitted a sudden increase in rates that
should have been gradual and started at
least twelve years ago." said krutt-
schnitt. 1--WE should bear in mind and
circulate widely the Presidents epigram /:
More business in Government and less
Government In business. The difficulty
with the railroads is excessive operating
expense and an abnormal amount OF this
expense is the high cost of labor"

FIGHT SMALLPOX
IN CITY SCHOOLS
Health Officer Orders Teach
erS to Be Vaccinated.

Orders compelling every teacher and
pupil at school No. 16, Bloomington and
Market streets. to show a certificate Of
vaccination Immediately were issued to-
day by DR.. Herman G. Morgan, secretary
of the board Of health, a step toward
checking an epidemic OF smallpox which
Is reported TO be sweeping the school.
The smallpox situation throughout the
public school system is becoming alarm
ing and unless improvement is shown
within a week the vaccination order will
be extended to include every teacher and
pupil in the city next week, DR.. Morgan
said.
A statement describing the situation
was issued by Or. Morgan as follows:
Smallpox is an expensive disease and
the taxpayer is required to meet the-cost
which comes as a result o. the failure OF
certain individuals who do not believe
in vaccination and resist the efforts OF
the department to inaugurate a cam
paign of compulsory vaccination.
THE danger Of children being IN
vaccinated is proven by a case which is
In the quarantine hospital now. In this
instance little girl, ID years of age,
is suffering with a virulent case Of small
pox associated with septic pneumonia
She was not vaccinated and was ex-
posed to smallpox.
"Of all the cases of smallpox that the
department Is called on TO see and
vaccinate, 99S per cent occur in adults
and children who never have been
successfully vaccinated. A case Of small
pox rarely is seen in a person who has
been immunized against the disease"
