Roosevelt's views on the value of lynch

steers to lose, instead of negro votes 1o
gain. Circumstances frequently color o

Mr Editor:- In a brief way I wish to
cescribe a phenomena or the strange
freaks of a star as seen by myself and two
o thers un the night of the 2oth of August.
While sittiug on the verardah of my
home, facing east, admiring the clear star
ry night, about 830 a bright light or star
appeared above the distant tree tops and
seemed to sway or move about, changing
its position. Aiter watching it for atime
I callde the attention of one present who
pronounced it the “Jackolantern.’ Its
movements was more like the swaying of
a kite than anything we can compare it to.
Its motions was north and south, down
and up, disappearing and re-appearing,
every time higher up in the skies, having
a train or tail abouttwo feet long forming
an oblong circle enclosing a smaller circle,
colors of a rainbow hue with a bright spot
in center and hottom changing positions,
while the upper or grtater light remained
still. Now if this circle had been above
we might have called ita halo, but it was
below. We watched until it disappeared
for wé knew not what to call lit. [t was
very near the sun’s path. We arose after
11 o’clock to find the wonder light form
ed into a large and brilliant star, which
fact remains for s me astronomer to ex
plain, there being not a particle of cloud
between us and it. The same star appeared
on the night of September 15t., swayiug
and unsteady 1} appearance, rainbow col
ors and slowly forming into a bright star.
It appears every night about 8,30 and if a |
clear night it is plainly visableto all, al
ways being injthe suns path Had I been
alone I might have thonght it an optical |
Illusion, but there being two others pres
ent goes to substantiate the statement
Just before the rising of this star a great’
light can be seen in the cast, but we cant
say where it comes from. l

Wanted - Pablic Spirited
That is what Lee county wants- She
has them if we could only once get togeth
er. For our own sake and the sake of the
county lets get together this time and
make an exhibic at the state Fair. A cred
itable exhibit will be worth thousands to
Lee county. You can look at the counties
that are going forward the fastest and you |
will know they are the ones that have ad l
vertised themselves. I.ee could make a fine |
exhibit, so lets hold a meeting at onge to ‘
organize an association and make an ex- |
hibit at the Fair. It need not cost much, |
and we may get enough premiums to pay |
this. How many men will join mein the
effort to do this? Would like to hear from |
them. We have the crops this year. A .
well selected display would probably be
‘an inducement to home-seekers who it
may be knows very little of Lee county.
Each white family that we. can locate
in Lee willadd a great deal to a county
which is too much of a negro_ county for
its own goob, Double pupulation and you
' double the value of your landl; you make
lamarket for all the surplus stuff made.
' The only way to double the population is
|to push it by advertising, pushing, work
ing and hustling, then tell people that fee
county is good for something bzsides pol
