Wrong Man is Taken
Out by Ku Klux KIan
in Williamson, N. C..

WILLIAMSON, N. C.-The trial of
four men, Fernie W. Sparrow, John
Gurkin, John G. Carey and Alien
Griffin, leaders of a mob that per-
formed an illegal operation on Joe
Needleman, 21, accused of assault
ing Effie Griffin, a 17-year-old sales
girl, is being rushed with all haste,
for fear of more violence.
Since the crime, sentiment has
changed, and Needleman, at first be-
lieved guilty, is now thought inno-
cent The sordidness of the Incl
dents which preceded the attack on
Needleman have caused the general
belief that it was, a frame-up. : The
assault was not reported until two
weeks after it is alleged to have
occurred, when Miss Griffin told her
fiance, Sparrow, that the man he
had introduced her to assaulted her
during an automobile ride. :.
After Needleman's arrest, although
he pleaded to be removed from Mar
tin county, which is a Klan territory,
until he could prove his innocence,
the sheriff, H. T. Robertson, paid
him no heed; and even when he
heard that mob was coming after
the prisoner, he did not attempt to
interfere. The mob removed Needle
man from the jail and took him
two miles in the country, where they
offered him a choice of having his
head severed or being MANNED. He
was operated upon and left, but man
aged to reach town and secure med
ical aid. Doctors at first. were de-
spairing over his chances for life,
but an operation is believed to have
saved him.
Friends of Needleman have sent
$4,000 to aid in the prosecution of
his abusers, and the governor has
offered $500 reward for the arrest
and conviction of any member of the
mob. The attorney general has set
out in an effort to bring all of the
participants in the fiendish crlmc to
justice.

Arizona is Faced
With Drought Says
Dean ]. ]. ThOrnber

That the State of Arizona is faced
with the most disastrous drought in
history, if the present situation does
not soon alleviate, was the state
ment made this week by Dean ]. ].
Thornber, head of the college of ag-
riculture at the University of Ari-
zona.
According to the Dean the low
level of water in Roosevelt Lake is
threatening the irrigation of the cot
ton crop in the Salt River Valley
and the Gila Valley is threatened
with like shortage. The Yuma
territory is practically the only part
of the state that is not faced with
this shortage, according to the Dean.
The situation as seen by Dean
Thornber, is emphasized by ]. M.
Ronstadt and other cattlemen of
Pima county, who are at this time
attempting to find some way in
which to carry the major portion of
their range stock through the
threatened period without too great
a loss.

Self Competition
is Most Important
Says Capitalist
BY J. OGDEN ARMOUR

OF Armour & Co., Chicago, Ill.
II is hard enough to compete
with the other fellow. But the
hardest job any man has is to COM
pete with himself. There is no mys-
terry about competing with others.
They beat you, or you beat them,
and that's all there is TO it. Every
body sees the results. But a man
may be thoroughly outdone by him
self without recognizing the cause.
There are several danger signals
which we may all watch, however.
and they will guide us.
First we should beware of being
dilatory. Putting things off is one
of the sure indications that our feet
are on the brink of the slippery
slope" 1t is easy to deceive our
selves. We say we are waiting for
the proper inspiration" Or we al
low ourselves to think we are "too
busy" to attend to this or that
meanwhile sorting out all the easy
things to do and side-tracking the
jobs that are hard or distasteful.
Inspiration comes from action. 1t
is the result of making up ones
mind to take the plunge. Resolve,
for instance, that you are going to
call today on the hardest prospect
you know; see for yourself if that
won't start your wits to working;
or pick out the hardest job on the
schedule, or today's program-and
go at it. Then note how mountains
of difficulties fade away.
Some men never have ''inspira-
tion" and never do big things-not
because they lack the ability, but
because they can't make up their
minds to act.
Another danger signal is losing
interest in ones work. This is
red flag that denotes calamity ahead
No one ever yet lost interest in a
job at which he really worked up to
the limit Of his apacity-unless he
happened to be a misfit. And the
misfits are very few compared with
those who grow stale through indo-
lence. Don't ask yourself, if you
are misfit. Ask, rather, Am 1
doing my work to the limit of my
ability?"

Educator Suggests
Plan to Solve Race
Problem Amicably
Especial to The Tribunel

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.-"Get
real leaders of the black and white
races together to talk things over
and we will have solved what we
call the Negro problem" said DR..
James E. Gregg, principal of Hamp-
ton Institute, last Tuesday night in
the Rutgers University gymnasium
during concert by the Hampton
Quartet. "That seems to be a quiet
way to solve one of the most diff
cult problems of the day." he con-
tinued, "but it's true. We at Hamp-
ton and Tuskegee are attempting to
bring about the cultural emancipa-
ton of the black man and in this
we believe will be found the solu-
ton"
Conditions of the Negro have con-
stantly improved since the shortage
of Negro labor in the South has
been noticed, the speaker said
Lynchings fell from almost fifty in
1923 to seventeen in 1924. Counties
south of the Mason and Dixon line
have built better school houses, Y.

Smoking Room for
Ladies Now Latest
Thing in Milwaukee
Especial to The Tribune)

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. = A little
room in the amen corner of the
country infirmary's second floor, is
popular place these days because
-sh-h!-it's smoking room.
On any sunshiny afternoon a
group of old women, colored and
white, may be seen there chatting,
while they enjoy tilt with their
favorite pipes. Ladies smoking
rooms are regarded generally as
places where the fair sex should not
tread. But this rule does not apply
at this institution. If The old ladies
are in the least perturbed by being
observed with th4i: pipes in action,
they do not show it.
A plain Missouri Meerchaum-the
old-fashioned corncob lin the opin
ion of these old ladies', means a
more comfortable smoke than all the
fancy cigarettes, jeweled cases and
expensive holders ever invented.
One silver headed grandma" plac-
idly admitted that she was 80 and
at the same time that her pipe had
been her faithful companion for so
years.
But" said the reformers, don't
you know that the reformers say
that pipe will shorten your life?"
"Pshaw! The reformers will go,
but smoking'll go on forever"
Fred P. Oeflin, superintendent, de-
clared that many of the old ladies
enjoyed their pipes as much as the
men and therefore he saw no reason
to stop the practice.
