 The government contended for a continuance until Saturday but the commissioner set the hearing for today. Fletcher and sartain were released in bonds of 5000 each.

WORKERS DISBAND
Pawtucket Valley Textile Workers Break up Because of Fast nimin- ishing Membership.

Providence. R. l., Dec. la,--The Pawtucket Valley branch of the Amalgamated Textile Workers of America voted to disband last night because of diminishing membership and discovery of tho fact that the national Headquarters in New York Is disorganized.
 Assets of the branch, which had locals in Natck. Phenix. Crompton and other centers In the territory, will be divided among the $50 re. msining members. The Amalgamat' ed was the union which fought the textile strike of 1929 In the Paw tucket Valley. while the United Tex. tile Workers, an American Fedora ton of Labor union, was carrying on the battle in the Blackstone valley, the states other big textile field.
 Leaders present at the disbanding meeting were divided on the ques- ton of afflliating in the future with the United Textile Workers of tho American Federation of Textile Operatives, which is strong in Fall River. Mass, and New Bedford. Mass.
 | The decision of the Pawtucket Valley operatives leaves the district without effective textile workers or- ganizatlon.

MISSOURI CROWD LYNCHES NEGRO
Governor Immediately Starts an
 Investigation

Charleston, Missouri, Dec. 13,-1n- vestigation was under way here to- day as a result of a message from Governor Arthur Hyde to Attorney General Jesse Barrett last night fol- lowing the death of Roosevelt Grigs- by, 20, a negro, who was hanged. shot, and his body dragged through the streets and burned by mob. The outburst was prompted by an alleged attack the negro attempted upon white girl.
 More than 900 men overpowered Sheriff E. B. Johnson and his depu- ties. took Grigshy and hanged him to a tree in the courtyard.
 Grigsby had been arrested earlier In the evening following his identifi- cation by a Is year old girl as the man who stepped from the shadows of dark street and grappled with her, but was frightened away by passing motorists.
 As the negro hung from the tree shot was fired into his body. Then it was cut down. tied behind an auto mobiN Fsnd dragged through the stree@ ofthe negro settlement. Halt ing bstorea grocery store, the occu- pants"of The car stepped out and tied the. body to pest. Cutting it down again, half doz- en men dragged IL at rope's length to vacant lot nearby where a fire was Nndled in which the body was thrown.
 The action was said 10 be the re- suit of racial feeling, intensified by 3 criminal attack last October upon the wife of land owner. Forty ne- croes were arrested. but none tden- tilted.
 Previous to the beginning of an in- vcstigation, Governor Hyde arnounc- cd he would offer reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the mob leaders,

SUSPEND DEBATE WITH GERMANY
Franco German Commercial Ne sotiati0ns Held Up

Paris. Dec, 19.--Ths Franco,Ger- man commercial negotiations will be suspended tomorrow until after Christmas. The Germans wanted to recess until after the New Year but l tho French arc deslrous of coming to at least a partial conclusion before Jan. 10. when all the present com mercial arrangements between the two countries come to an end. The Gerrhans thus far have stout ly resisted the French demands for concessions said to have been prom ised Premier Herriot s- London; they insist that Complications with other countries would result if they favored France in their tariffs. The Germans have fixed almost prohibitive duties on the articles that interest the French export trade most such as brapdies, wines, per- fumes, flowers and all other agricul- turaI products. These tactics are supposed to be for the purpose of trading for concessions by France, and the French delegates plead in vain that promises were made in London in exchange for concessions by Premier. Herriot on the evacua- ton of the Ruhr.
 There are still strong hopes in French circles of bringing the Ger mans to a reasonable view of the situation, but the prospects now are that nothing important will be &C., complished before expiration of the time during which Alsatian products are admitted free of duty by Ger many.
 It is said in Alsatian quarters that other markets have been found for the products Of the recovered prov inces to the extent of two-thirds of their exports. so the delay in the agreement will be less harmful to Alsace and to France generally.

More Taffy and Less Epitaphy.
From the Americus Times-Recorder.


In recent sermon Rev. John NJ Cutler,
OF the First Methodist church, implored his
congregation to look for the good in their tel
lows occasionally and criticize less often
B. c. Forbes in the Atlanta Georgian, has
this observation somewhat along the same
line
We're funny lot In all the keynoting
oratory the only names that aroused notable
applause were the names of dead ones. In
this country we refuse to recognize great
ness until it has been safely tucked away UNI
der the sod. A man has to be dead ten years
before he is admitted to our Hedging hall
OF fame-it is located somewhere in New
York although not one New Yorker IN
twenty could tell you where. Only dead ones
get their faces on postage stamps or COINS.
They do things differently across the At
lantc. Only living faces are put on new
coins and postage stamps. Also, men who do
big things there are showered with honors
and decorations while they are still alive.
The names that arouse the greatest amount
of applause are always the living leaders.
We haven't yet adopted Mark Twain's
recommendation that we should bestow more
taffy and less epitaphy. Why wouldn't it be
a good plan to hand out a few more flowers
to those that are alive and not quite so many
when funeral time comes?
Seeing and praisng the good in others
gives US a brighter and healthier outlook on
life and encourages even better and greater
service.
"The little humming bird fits from flow
er to flower, gathering the sweets and en-
joying the pleasant perfume, said Rev. Out
ler But that bird-the buzzard-sees moth
ing and is interested only in finding some
thing dead-the nauseous carrion that lies
hidden in some deep gully over near the
swamps."
There are evil men and women in the
world but for each there's a dozen noble,
upright souls. The world has its crooks and
law-breakers, but where one of these exists
you find thousand honorable men.
If we would be noble and generous, kind
and considerable of others we must keep our
minds on those things which elevate and en-
noble mankind.

LAWYERS and WashingtOn's Beer Bill.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

A New York antiquarian rises to vindl-
cate George Washington's ancestor from the
charge of having left an unpaid college debt
at Oxford in 1893, debt which was settled
the other day by the generous members OF
the American Bar Association now visiting
England.
When the American lawyers visited Brase-
nose college. Oxford, they were shown
record of an alleged debt contracted by the
Rev. Lawrence Washington, great-great-
grandfather of George Washington. The
Rev. Mr.. Washington, according to the en-
try. owed the college 40 shillings and III
pence for bread and beer" which he forgot
TO pay The American lawyers, sohcitous
for the honor of their country and the repu-
tation OF the Washington family, squared the
account
Now the New York antiquarian, fortified
bv documentary evidence, says that the
American lawyers were misled He adduces
proof to show that the beer and skittles en-
loved by the Rev Mr.. Washington were duly
paid for when that gentleman voluntarily
relinquished three and half months salary
as fellow of Brasenose, thereby much more
than offsetting any account Tor 1000 ana
drink the college had against him"
So it appears that the claim of the college
IS at least in dispute, and that the American
LAWYERS acted overhastify when they paid the
bin without looking into the merits of their
clients case.
Did it never, occur to the lawyers that they
could have raised any number OF legal OBJ
ectons? Obviously they could have invok-
ed the statute of limitations. So far as the
beer portion OF the debt is concerned is this
a valid claim against visitors from prohibi-
ton country?
But the lawyers simply threw up their case
and paid without investigating. In this re-
spect they acted like many other Americans,
When confronted by claims from Europe. The
assertion that we owe something to some
foreigner, or to mankind in general, is usual
" accepted without proof. 1t has become an
axiom that Uncle Sam ought to pay any
way.

The Fair at Triton.

Triton people are putting on lair, 1t is
learned, for the week of September 22nd to
9th, and are calling it the Prosperity Fair.
Evidently they are optimistic, and, in fact,
have reason TO be on account of their fine
sales of tobacco and splendid crops of corn
peanuts and other things.
The fair is not limited to Tiff county, but
to the trading area of Triton In other words
county lines are wiped out entirely in the
effort to bring about the best of feeling. This
fair is not meant to be a moneymaker, but
is designed to convey education and inspira-
ton to the farmers by means of object les
sons of prosperity.
It is a very happy idea to have co-opera-
ton between towns and counties. The time
has passed when competition between them
should bar their cooperation. 1t suggests
the old story Of the man cutting off his nose
to spite his face when one community tries
to live alone and does not practice the healthy,
good-natured rivalry that means progress.
Let's all go to the Triton fair. The aero
plane, automobile and good roads have made
us all neighbours and we should pull togeth-
er for the development OF our section. We
cannot get it otherwise
In addition to some splendid exhibits of
poultry and live stock there will be a num-
Der OF interesting, clean amusements. We
understood that carnivals will be entirely
barred
