MECHANICAL TRENCHER DOES

New Machine Is Described by Service
Director AS Most Progressive ImpIe-
ment in Battling Woods COnfIagra-
tions Produced In Many Years.

The United States forestry serv-
ice has announced development of
new mechanical trencher, that
will be worth 300 men in fighting
fires in the great forests of the
Pacific northwest. The machine,
which will be used for the first
time this summer to gouge bitches
ahead of advancing flames, was
described by Clifford Hunter, di-
rector of the Spokane division of
the forestry service, as perhaps the
most progressive implement for
fire fighting produced in years.
Two men generate its forward power,
pulling and pushing it over the ground
at mile an hour, while whirling
blades operated by a two-cylinder
gasoline motor, dig a slot that acts as
a fire break To do the Job In an hour
without the trencher would require 500
industrious men.
In trial runs the trencher has
ground through partly decayed wind
fallen trees with vigOr that reminded
foresters Of the strength OF the tabled
Paul Bunyan. The dirt and debris Is
speWed aside to miss the rear operator,
who steers the machine with wheel
baErowlike handles.

Reverse Death
Conviction In
S. c. Trial

COLUMBIA, S. C.-Press Bibbs,
one of the seven defendants in
South Carolina's "Scottsboro Case"
won a new trial before the State
supreme court here.
Last January Bibbs and six COM
panions, all Negroes, were indict-
ed by grand jury and charged
with murder of Lewis Leslie, white
farmer and storekeeper, of Nc
Cormick, South Carolina, on Octo-
, Der IL, 1893. The National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People accepted the offer of
Joseph Murray, well-known
white attorney, of Mccormick, to
defend the men.
Despite the intimidation of de-
fense witnesses, the case was ap-
pealsd to the State Supreme Court,
after an all-white jury sustained a
first degree murder charge against
: Bibbs last February. Conviction OF
first degree murder in Souts Caro-
lima carries with it an automatic
death penalty in the electric chair.
John Baker and Arthur Patter-
son are two other defendants whose
, cases are on their way to the State
Supreme Court. Four other men
charged with completely in the
crime have not had their cases
tried yet.

tees with you the chief victim have Keen reported.
The reign of terror was the outgrowth of attempt
of black citizens of that community to exercise their
constitutionally guaranteed privilege of the ballot
Taking pointed exception to this heinous attempt
to choke the processes of democracy the young Bap-
tst people in their resolution declared
Everyone agrees that wholesome restrictions
should be placed about the ballot but every citizen
who qualified to vote should be permitted to do
There is good to anticipate eventual social up
heavel in anJ nnonWeaith in which a m:nol Ivy
group composed of 45 it's population is denied the
ballot simply because of color"
How widely this attitude differs from that of the
trainers of the grandfathers' clause and the undemo
cratic position taken by those who resurrected the
very ancient system of poll tax.

Going further was the paragraph 'The Negro has
been unjusty Disseminated against in our system Of

admitted that the Negro cannot obtain justice in

Atantas young Methodist group conceded the
truth in Booker T. Washingtons statement by
COUGHING in their resolutions, "We should remember
that you can't keep man in ditch without staying
down yourself"
Going from there they reviewed the lon,
chain of inustices practced against black Atlantans

of conscientious young people.
NOT NEWS TO YOU
You have been well-acquainted with all of these
determinations and njustices for 10 these many years
and your grievances though loud have often fell on
deaf ears
That you have some badly needed help in
fighting your uph battle in these Christian-sprited
young white people, who in few years will be in
position to put these resolutions into action is
couraging to say the least

1t the ironic fact that most of these young

played independence of thought and action, based
not upon denominational lines, but upon the broad
principles of justice and fair play enunciated by
Him whom they have chosen to follow.

without discussing acting single thing which
would be disturbing to the status quo.
