Negroes Resolutions

1918 pursuant to a call by Rev. A.
Majors, pastor of the Bell Flower
Baptist church, many of the repre-
sentative negroes of the City of Gre
NADIA, met at the New Hope Baptist
church.
Rev. A. Majors in a few, but APP
propriate remarks stated the object
of the meeting. After remarks made
by many present, a committee was ap-
pointed to present preamble and reso-
lutions to the body for endorsement.
J. H. Phillips, Miles Walthall and
Rev. A.. J. Thomas we're appointed
and presented the following:
Whereas, In mass meeting assem-
bled, it is ~evinced to us that the
kindly and thoughtful white people of
our community have determined and
do by their action to set the pace for
a fair, square deal to be melted out
to our defenseless negro population
of our city. (To be explicitly The

deputy sheriff and jailer and who at
terward escaped but later was re-
taken, placed in Jail, protected, and
brought before the court, given a fair
trial and sentenced to be hung-ac-
cording to law, which privilege is rare
and uncommon, when the magnitude
of the crime is considered; therefore
be it,
Resolved: That we the representa-
tive citizens of the City of Grenada
and County of Grenada, do give our
unqualified endorsement to the action
of our High Sheriff, Mr.. Crowder, and
to all the citizens back of him for
their alertness to eur the prisoner,

the decentralization of the community
and to the terror of the negro race.
Resolved: That the consideration
and demonstration shown u boys
from this community and negro boys
passing through from other sections
of the state is praiseworthy beyond
description. We can never forget it,
it symholizes all that is noble and
grand.
Resolved: That we stand heart and
hand with our good white people for
law and order and ready to assist
in any way we can to bring order
out of confusion, yea, to assist in
bringing criminals to justice and
whatever is our duty.
