The advocates who have joined forces to advance their case made way for the women's organizations favor ing the court at the morning session having selected Miss Jane Addams of Chicago and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York as the general spokesman for this part of the hear
 ing. Memorials and brief statements by representatives of the II organi- cations forming the women's world court committee also were placed be- fore the subcommittee.
 Before thes women's organizations were heard, Professor ManIes o. Hud- son Of Harvard told the committee that lawyers all over the world had taken the greatest satisfaction in the decisions already rendered by the new tribunal and were citing these as proof of the courts remarkable ef- fectiveness.
 "Only one of the nine cases to date has been a contested case, he said, that was the case of the allied pow CT Germany relating to the Kiel canal. In the other eight cases advisory opinions have been handed down as requested by the council of the league of nations. In one of the eight cases the court refused to give any answer to the precise questions before if on the ground that an answer would preiudge a dispute and one of the parties to the dispute, soviet Russia, was refusing to appear. In the other seven cases the opinions of the court have been most useful in connection with the solution of important inter national questions, which could not easily have been handled otherwise
 Opinions and decisions from the permanent court eventually will be- come "onr main source of interna- tional jurisprudence" the witness predicted.
 'The one argument against the in- ternational which has stuck in some peoples minds" he said, has been the argument that if is somehow tool of the league Of nations. The precise connection between tho court and the league has not been under stood. One might as well argue that the judges of the supreme court of the

Lynchings Are Fewer

The crime of mob violence
or lynching seems to be dimin-
ishing from year to year. In
the past IL months only two
persons were lynched in Geor-
gia, these form a total of | E for
the entire country. During
1923 there were 80 lynchings.
These statistics come from
the department of records and
research maintained by Tuske-
gee Institute and its figures on
lynchings have been accepted
as authentic for several years.
From the report just released
we find:
There were 10 persons lynch
ed in 1924. This is the smallest
number lynched in any year
since records of lynchings have
been kept and is 7 less than the
number 80 for the year 1928
and 4 less than the number
81 for the year 1922. Nine of
the persons lynched were taken
from the hands of the law, E
from jails and 3 from officers
of the law outside of jails.
There were As instances in
which officers of the law pre-
vented lynchings. Two women,
white and colored, were
among those thus saved. Eight
of these preventions of lynch
ings were in Northern States
and 81 in Southern States. In
80 of these cases the prisoners
were removed or the guards
augmented or other precautions
taken. In 9 other instances,
armed force was used to repel
the would be-lynchers. In N
instances during the year per-
sons charged with being con-
nected with lynching mobs were
indicted. OF the lo persons thus
before the courts only 5 were
convicted. These were given
Jail sentences.
OF the 10 persons lynched all
were negroes. Seven or less
than one-half of those put to
death were charged with rape
or attempted rape.
The offenses charged were.
Murder, |; rape, 5; attempted
rape, 2; killing officer of the
law, D; insulting woman, 3; at
lacking woman, /; killing man

The States in which lynch
ings occurred, and the number

Pecans Saved Him

WSAC AOlO q lew ddyS ago
South Georgia farmer who
literally pulled himself out of
bankruptcy by planting pecans.
He had bought much land
and was getting along splendid
ly when the boil weevil came.
Cotton production became
more expensive and the crop
less. This man, like others, was
caught. But he did not quit.
Selecting a portion of one of
his large farms, he planted pc
cans. In a few years the mon
ey from his trees began paying
off his mortgages.
Every farm in Sumter coun-
ty should have a few acres of
pecans coming on to help meet
deficiencies that may arise at
any time in any business. Moth
ing will give greater returns for
the investment than the pecans,
says DR.. c. Blackman, pecan
culturist of the Florida Expert
ment Station, and continuing
declares:
Nothing will give greater re
turns for the investment than
the pecans, nor require as little
attention, when planted around
the house, yard or barn. Why
not therefore, plant a few trees
where they will receive plenty
of plant food from the waste of
the barn lots and chicken hous-
es?
Pecan trees cannot be planted
in orchard arrangements, forgot
ten for eight or ten years, and
thcn.feturned to for bountiful
crops of nuts each year thereaft-
er. A pecan orchard requires as
careful cultivation, fertilization,
spraying, etc., as any fruit or
nut crop.
Select a well drained sandy
loan soil, underlaid with a good
porus clay subsoil, for the pecan,
if possible. The pecan, however,
will thrive on variety of soils,
and is some. times seen in a
thrifty, productive condition on
soils not generally adapted to it,
Soil that has standing water, rock
or hard pan near the surface
should not be set to percans.
This nut, as with other fruit
and nuts, does not come true to
seed; it must be budded or graf
ed to get the kind desired.
Therefore, secure trees from the
nearest reliable nursery, and do
not try to get the largest nut
they have. Look around and in
vestigate the different varieties
that are succeeding in the given
locality under consideration, and
make yuor selections according
~.
Set the trees carefully with
the roots in their, natural posi-
ton, using only the top soil, max
ing firm with the feet, and thor
oughly saturating the soil around
the roots with water, and plant
the ttrees at least so feet apart.
Pecans is not a new crop for
Sumter. We have many groves
---but we also have many farms
on which there is not "a tree.
Plant a few acres in pecans.
That's one crop in which yoa
may diversity with reasonable
certainty of success.
