|OVERMAN TO HANDLE
DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL

Washington, Feb. 23.-It develop
ed today that a subcommittee of five
members of the senate judiciary COM
mittee, including Senator Lee S.
Overman, will handle the Dyer anti
lynching bill which recently passed
the house and indications are the
senate will be in no hurry about TAX
ing up this measure.
The belief is here that the lynch
ing bill will be chloroformed in the
senate committee; at least that it
will be held there indefinitely. Mem
bers of the subcommittee are of the
conservative type and not inclined
to play politics with bill of doubtful
constitutionality.
Senator Overman, one of the two
Democratic members of the commit
tee, the other being Senator Shields,
of Tennessee, is already working with
members of the judiciary committee
and the senate in opposition to what
he considers most dangerous legisla'
ton. Concerning the bill, which
would give federal courts the right
to try lynching cases depriving state
courts of such trial privileges, Sena-
tor Overman said today:
''This bill is not only unconstitu-
tional; it is unwise, dangerous and
pernicious. 1 am afraid it will stir up
trouble rather than keep it down. 1t
is a clear invasion of states rights
and 1 do not believe the lawyers of
the senate will ever pass such a bill.
1t is a far over-reaching of federal
power to say that if a lynching oc-
ours in North Carolina the courts of
that state cannot act, but that the
entire matter shall be taken over by
the federal courts.
1.-The south is gradually solving its
peculiar race problem. That section
does not condone lynching and is
trying to stop it. There has been a
material improvement. This bill, how
ever, would be backset to us in
working out our problems and I am
confident that neither ON the ground
of constitutionality nor justice can it
get through the senate. I shall op-
pose it with all my strength

MIR. FOX SPEAKS.

Mr.. F. E. Fox pastor of the Christ
ian Church in Farmville spoke to the
students of A. C. C. Wednesday morn
ing. He said the trouble with lots of
people was that they stopped half
way instead of going on to reach
their goal. Too many put their hand
to the plow and looked back. Stu
dents who have gone part of the way
thru college should finish 1t is just
as easy to go on as it is to go back.
We should not be like the boy who
swan half way across the river be-
came afraid and turned around and
swan back. 1t was just as easy to
go on across. When we reach our goal
we have the satisfaction of having
finished. When we lose confidence in
self we are defeated. Don't be salts
fed with just getting through. Re
member it takes time, toll and work
to finish. He finished his talk by re-
citing Miller's Columbus which
was a very fitting climax to his talk
We hope he will come again.
