was no anti-Amcrican feeling on the
part Of the people. This enthusiasm
prompted Mr.. Hoover to issue this
statement:

Mr.. William H. Alexander, who
has been with paving gang in South

habitat. The Spearfish Mail pub
lished the following item concerning
this versatile and peripatetic-for he

Omahan:
During the process of paving
Sixth street many people noticed a
big black boy on the job. He was
known as Bill After the paving job
was finished he was employed to put
the final polish on the new Chevrolet
Garage. Now he states that he is on
his way to Omaha, to the Black
Broadway North oath street) where
he can see a parade of African
blondes and brunettes, roughed, mar
celled, water-waved, bob-curled; and
also hear Paul Whitman's orchestra
at the Auditorium next Sunday night.
'Bill' was much impressed with the
Hills. He said that if the Black Hills
is the Switzerland of America, that
Spearfish is Berne. In his 40 years
of globe trotting he has never seen
people more kind or polite. He is
leaving with no regrets and hopes to
be back in Spearfish next spring when

BEss' LAWYERS EXPRESS HOPE

Columbia, S. C.-(By the Associ-
ated Negro Press)-The battery of
lawyers, headed by Attorney N. j.
Frederick. fighting for the freedom
of Ben Bess, expressed the opinion
that a favorable decision would be
handed down by the South Carolina
supreme court.
The case, which has attracted the
attention of the entire country, was
argued before the state supreme
court on November 18th, and since
that time the attorneys for Bess have
been hopeful that their client would
be freed.
Bess was convicted 13 years ago
on charge of committing rape and
a few months ago through an affida-
Wit of his alleged victim was set free,
only to be reimprisoned when the
white woman denied that she had de-
clared him innocent. He has been in
the state prison since that time, but
there is a strong sentiment here that
he is innocent of the crime for which
he is serving time.

Wind and Fish

1t Is reported that singular cor

vailing direction of the wind on the
coast of New South Wales and the
average catch of fish.
1t appears that the winds which In

In turn, the course of the fish. These
influences have periods of three OF
four years Thus, In 1919. there was
a general scarcity OF fish. but after
ward they became more and more
abundant up to the year 1922. In
1924, there was another scarcity OF
fish. but the next year they returned

The cause of these variations was
regarded as mystery until the coin

of the coastal winds was noticed.

the winds, the prospects Of the fisher
