depressing. There are such awful reckless car loads of both negroes and whites sporting about out in our neck of the woods these days that for the first time in my life I find myself afraid of being here alone - especially at nights. Byrum says they are all a strange lot - none of them the negroes we have known in the past - most of them drive real cars and dress fine. We think they must be boot leggers and looters of some sort. Last Saturday night Francis was visiting over at Wanchula and there was such a lot of the set racing past or else sporting around on the Lake shore that Byrum's hair stood on end almost the whole night. Toward daylight some of them fell arguing among themselves just at edge of our yard - B - was close enough to catch what the fuss was about - it was over a woman. Finally one man said to the other "shut up." "I'm through with your old whore - take her and go with her."

 Your C.C Rolf report makes a big supplement to the

column that came out in Tampa Times last Friday.
