No Fedral Question
In Case of Jeffords

Washington, Dec. 12.-All that re-
mains for Frank M. Jeffords to do Is
to die. William H. Taft, chief JUS
tice Of the supreme court, declared
today that in the Jeffords case no fed
eral question was involved.
The chief justice took the case un-
der advisement Sunday afternoon fol-
lowing an argument and fling Of a
brief by Jeffords' attorney, Jesse b.
Adams Of Washington.
Mr.. Adams attempted to make the
point that Jeffords had not had fair
and impartial trial In the sense thet
the constitution of the United States
guarantees such trial to all defend
ants. AS previously reported, Mr..
Adams had little hope Of convincing
the chief justice that the supreme
court should take cognizance Of the
situation, but made the attempt in a
final effort to save his client.

penitentiary sentenced to be executed

COTTON CROP
FALLS SHORT

washington, Dec. IL (By the As.
sociated Press).-This years cotton
production is the smallest in &c
years, excepting last seasons small
crop, but, based On December l farm
prices, it is the fourth most valuable
ever grown with an aggregate Of
sl'ia4'oos,456, not including the value
or Inter cotton and cotton seed which
Will total many millions of dollars
more.
The crop this year was placed to-
day by the department Of agriculture
In its final estimate of the season.
f'f61,262,OOO pounds of lint, which is
equivalent to 9,964,OOO bales of 500
pounds gross weight (47s.4 pounds Of
INT and ZIG pounds of baggine and
ties estimated per bale).
This final estimate is smaller by
lh,ooo bales than any of the govern.
ment's forecasts of the season made
from condition reports during the
growing season.
While there was a large acreage !,
cotton this year, the boil weevil got in
It's work extremely heavy damage and
drought in many sections materially
assisted in keeping down the produc-
ton. South Carolina and GEORGIA
were hardest hit of any of the cotton
growing states, their production being
ABOUT 4O per cent Of the average Of
the five years, 1916 to 1920.
The farm price of cotton on De-
cember l. averaged 1913 cents per
pound, which ranks fourth highest In
the history Of the industry, being ex-
ceeded only by the price in 1917, 1918
and 1919.
Statlsticians estimate the dimen-
sions of this years crop in bales IN
be equal to cube 600 feet square
and 600 feet high.

MOB LYNCHES
SECOND NEGRO

Perry, Fla, Dec. 12.-The second of
the two negroes arrested Friday in
connection with the murder of Miss
Ruby Hendry, school teacher, the pre-
vious Saturday, was lynched last
night. Arthur Young was taken
from the officers as they were at
tempting to transfer him to another
Jail. Charlie Wright was burned at
the stake Friday night after a mob
of several thousand men had taken
him from the officers as they brought
the two negroes into town.
The lynching occurred on the high
way leading from Madison, about
seven miles from here and did not
become generally known until today
Details came even slower. Officials
were uncommunicative on the subject
and there was little tendency in any
other quarter to discuss the latter.
Sheriff Lipscomb, it is understood,
had received orders to remove the
negro to another county for safe
keeping. His connection, if any with
the murder of Miss Hendry, was still
question in the popular mind, while
the authorities had announced they
were holding him for further inves-
legation. Young had been taken from
the officers last Friday night with
Wright and taken to the scene of the
crime. Just before he was burned to
death, Wright exonerated Young, but
said he had been assisted by another
negro whose identity he failed to dis
close. The mob at that time returned
Young to the authorities.
Sheriff Lipscomb would not discuss
the lynching tonight further than 70
admit that he had been overpowerej
on the road and the negro taken.
The negro's body was riddled with
bullets and then left dangling from q
tree. The number comprising the
mS5 could not be learned.
Deputized citizens who have been
guarding negro buildings for several
nights as the results of several hav-
ing been burned were removed today.
Authorities said they felt there was
no further danger o fdisorder.
Whereas several thousand men
from surrounding counties and from
south, Georgia participated in the
mob that burned Wright, only de-
|taSoained few hssslled Yoyna lasa
