Increase in Lynchings Causing Alarm in Dixie
Industrial Depression Blamed for Gain in Mob Violence
Violence
Atlanta, Ga.—(UP)—The negro problem once more is disturbing part of Dixieland.
Industrial depression with consequent unemployment, and agitation of so-called "White Supremacy" organization causes of present perplexity. The underlying cause is the economic and societal situation in many parts of the South.
The lynching record for the year to date already has passed that of 1929 when ten lynchings were recorded and many thought individuals who were accused months ago may be worse, unless calm minds can exert a powerful leadership. At Tacockee Institute, Tucson, Ala., Micey Hall, an African racial outcourt, which are considered the nearest to official records of extra-legal punishment in existence, his book *A History of Lynching* (published in 1932 white persons and 1939 Negro lynched in the United States)
The tenacity of the situation has had expression in ten or more lynchings—quite probably a dozen or 14--so strong that the demonstrations against the colored people which, through counsel of older leaders, revealed our reasons, did not end in actual violence.
A study of the figures shows an interesting relationship between industrial conditions and mob violence. In 1892, 103 white and 153 Negroes were arrested for robbery, rape, whiteies and 154 Negroes. These were the years which set high records for lynching. They also were the years of financial and industrial depression during that period.
By 1895, when prosperity was returning, lynchings dropped to 51 whites and 80 Negroes and in 1900 to 8 whites and 80 Negroes. In 1904, the war boom struck industry, the figures showed only three whites and 49 Negroes paid the penalty in "Judge Roberts." By 1896, the war boom was passing, saw the figures go up to 48. Since then the treffle until this year, has been gem-mine, reaching its low level of 10 in 1892.

"Nothing Is Good Enough but the Best"
Long ago Waterman's turned out its fifty-millionth gold pen point. The gold pen point is so important a part of a fountain pen that Waterman's make their own—and have been doing since the class of 1887 were freshmen!
That's one reason why Waterman's pens write better. Another is the patented spoon-feed that delivers the ink in just the right quantity — no skimping or blotting. Then, size for size, Waterman's pens hold more ink—never leave you stranded in the middle of a lecture or exam.
Waterman's finest man's pen, the Patrician, comes in five jewel colors, with choice of seven pen points. Styled in the modern manner, it exhibits undeniable smartness as well as performance. Great ink capacity. Very large gold pen point. The pen for a man who wants the best—$10. A pencil to match is $5. Other models in wide variety to suit every purse.
