The Lynching Evil.
The current number of the Inde-
pendent contains an article on
"Lynching a:i 1 the Ii\ju« for it,'
by the chairman of t'.ie Auti
Lynching Bureau of the National
Afro-American Cotucil. It ap-
pears from this record that in the
past fifteen years in tlrs country
the lives of about 2,1.10a persons

I referred to as "two-bits," The latter
term, I think, still obtains in preference
to quarter-dollar American pieces in
some sections. There was also a New
York state "two-l>it" coin, as well as
a "bit" of the same coinage, which was
sometimes called the "V -rk shilling1."
The P'.ne 'T?ee State shilling*, coming
from Maine, was sometimes seen, but
not much used. Its value was supposed
to be 1G 2-3 cents. The old-fashioned
big- copper cent of American toinage
was plentiful, while occasionally an
English halfpenny of copper was found
floating around, generally passing on
the same basis as the big eoppt rcenU
Qucei. Victoria's head was shown on the
English halfpennies
Later, when as a boy, I removed with
my mother to Illinois, I met my first j
