HANGOVERS
BY LITTLE HElSKELL

It's becoming much easier to
gather political news, thanks to
the cold weather. In the spring,
summer and early Fall, a guy
looking for the IoW-down on the
higher-ups is compelled to dash
from one curb-stone to another.
Now he can confine his efforts
to three points mot JOINTS
the Court House, the City Hall
and that we'll known Washing
ton street cigar store.
Don't take second guess if
you see two or more men gath
ed at either one of these places.
You can even 60 further if you
notice a guy mumbIng to hlm-
self. It's politics, brother, just
plain run-o-the-mine politics. OF

Only Three lynchings
Reported in 1889
px the Axsociated Press.

PS the Associated Press.
TUSKEGEE, Ala, Dec. 30-Only
three lynchings, a sharp decrease
from previous years, occurred in the
United States in 1899, as far as the
Department of Record and Research
of Tuskegee Institute has deter
mined.
Two occurred in Florida, where a
white man accused of murder was
shot to death by members of his
own race, and colored man charged
with the death of a white youth in
an automobile accident was taken
from officers and slain.
The third lynching listed on
TuSkegee records was that of a
Mississippi colored man, killed, the
report said, following an alterca-
ton with white man.
There were IS instances in which
law enforcement officers were credit
ed with preventing lynchings, with
rs persons, including five white,
saved from the hands of mobs." !"
Twenty lynchings-a record In
recent years-were reported in 1885.
The institute listed eight each In
1886 and 1887, and six in 1898.
