just across the street from the Of
flee of Justice of the Peace w. A,

Mrs. Sweeper relayed the infOrma,
tion to Deputy Sheriff Asa Gard
ner by telephoning to his home.
Deputy Gardner notified Justice
Thompson, then went to the tragedy
scene. The Negro was still alive,
but unconciOus, when the officers
reached his side. He died shortly
after the officers viewed the body.
The Florence undertakers were
called and the body was removed to
the mortuary at Florence where it
was being held while the officers
tried to establish the dead mans
identity.
Deputy Gardner stated to The EX
aminer that he believed the Negroes
death was the result of his having
jumped from a fast moving train
that passed thru Coolidge several
hours before the body was discover
ed. According to Deputy Gardner
the Negroes body was not mangled.
But it was bruised and bleeding
from the impact with the hard sur
face Of the ground along the right
of way.
The Negro was clad in oveTalls,
and in one pocket he carried a
letter, but part of it was missig and
the rest was so badly penned the
officers could not get anything from
it to indicate who the victim was or
where he came from.

Fact and Fancy
By Peggy Govern

The word "reformer," in every
day conversation has acquired
significance which is not fair or
just, and which does harm to the
general idea of reform itself. A
reformer is sometimes thought of
as a busybody, mingling in every
other persons AFFAIRS and endeav-
oring to create a general disturb
ance for his own advantage. This
has been brought about largely by
the heat Of political controversy,
and largely by the fact that some
men who devote themselves hon.
estly to the public welfare and be-
come intensely interested in one
particular line of thought, do not
understand why others with less
information do not instantly fol-
low their lead. This is due not to
a lack of knowledge of the condi-
tions sought to be reformed but
of the elements of human nature
incident to the controversy. It does
not aid reform for reformer to
assert that the man who opposes
him is an obstructionist inimical
to the morals of reform and of un-
clean motive. This is as improper
as it is for others in their contro-
versy with the reformer to dodge
the real issues and oppose the pro-
posed reform because they do not
happen to like the proposed re-
FORMS advocate. On account of the
multitude of human activities and
the variety of interests in COM
munity reforms, as rule, come
sing1y and are the natural evolu-
ton of experience.
