on the railroads, who are having
their own troubles, he said.
A big job faces the returning
men, who must clear the tracks

he had relatives in this area and
asked directions to a barber shop

you try to fix the new name in
your mind in such a way that it
will resist immediate oblivion. The
experts say you can best do this
by vTiting it down al the first
opportunity.
Arrive Early
You may be the kind of person
who does all right with a single or
double introduction but goes all
to pieces in front of barrage at a
meeting or party. The next time
you're invited to a party, try this:
ask the hostess for the names of
the people who are going to be
there. If you write down these
names and familiarize yourself
with them, you'll find it quite
helpful when the actual introduc-
tons are made. Another helpful
thing to do is to arrive at the party
or meeting a little early when only
a few people are there. As the
rest arrive you will have a chance
to meet them a few at a time.

No One Had Lived There
Since Negro Accupants
Were Visited By Hood
lums In January

The tenant house occupied by
a Negro family prior to the mob
attack on them in mid-January
was destroyed mysteriously by
fire early Sunday morning, Sher,
Tiff H. Hugh Nance reported Mon
day.
The dwelling had been vacant
since Willie and Evergreen Flow
ers were visited by 40 to 50''
men on the night of January 1e
when Mrs. Flowers was beaten
after her husband had escaped
the mob by fleeing through the
back door.
The blaze early Sunday was
discovered by Garland Mobiles
night officer of the Chadbourn
Police Department, who saw the
light and rushed to the scene
Mobiles notified Sheriff Nance
and they went over the grounds
carefully but could find no evi
dence that the dwelling had been
set on fire.
Sheriff Nance said he had in
vited the State Bureau of Inves
tigation to assist in the investiga
ton of the blaze.
The former Negro occupants
moved to the Cerro Gordo vicin
ity after the gang of hoodlums
visited their place in January
Some of their furnishings were
still in the dwelling.
Officers have never been able
to unearth any clue to the ident
ity of the mob which beat Mrs
Evergreen with sticks and the
butt of a gun. SBI agents joined
in the investigation but made nc
progress.
