ROGKWOOD POSTMASTER
DIES O9 INDIGESTION
Passed Away Last Wedre 5oiay About
Noon; Found Dead in Bed BY
His Wife.

Hammond Fowler, aged 50. died at
his home, lockwood, Wednesday
about noon of acute indigestion. Re-
mains were inferred at Redwood
Thursday Afternoon.
For a little over week he had
been suffering at times with severe
attacks of indigestion and On one or
two occasions grave fears were en-
tertained for his recovery. However,
by Wednesday morning he was SO
much improved that he insisted that
his wife go to her duties as teacher
in the lockwood high school. She
left colored- boy with him and lett
for her duties reluctantly. The colored
boy brought him his mail and asked
Mr.. Fowler if he could do anything
for him. He stated that he required
nothing but that after looking over
his mail he would lie down and sleep
awhile. He went to his room and the
colored boy remained awaiting his
call for any service he might be able
10 render. When Mrs. Fowler re-
turend home at noon she went to his
room and found him dead. How long
he had been dead there was no way OF
knowing, but it was though he had
been dead for an hour or longer. He
was laying as though he had passed
away without any struggle and his
countenanse was calm and peaceful.
No man in lockwood was more
highly esteemed than Ham" Fowler,
as he was familiarly called by his
friends. He was reared at Lynch.

THAT HORRIBLE STAKE
BURNING.

The State Of Texas will never be
able to lay claim to civilization, much
less to Christianity, so long rs 1t
permits the burning at the stake of
human beings in violation Of tho
Constitution Of the United States and
in the reputation Of every doctrine
Of Christianity. In the fendishncss
OF the punishment the Nervousness or
the crime committed is lost. The men
guilty OF this crime Of mutilation and
burning proved beyond Il shadow of
the doubt that they were as low in
the scale Of human bestiality as the
men they slew.
There is another viewpoint from
which to regard This outlandish crime
committed Or alleged to have been
committed by the victims and the
crime known to have been committed
by the lynchcrS. The latter were
doing all in their power to bring
about the enactment Of tle Dyer
Anti-lynching Bill, now being pressed
for passage by the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement OF Colorcd
People. What more potent argu-
mcnt could be advanced in its favor
ETHAN this outburst OF mob violence
May 6, 1922. at Kirvin, Texas?
We cannot conceive upon what
ground any statesman can base his
opposition to this humane measure
in view OF this ficndiah exhibition In
Texas OF human depravity. Will the
murderers Of these four colored cit
liens be punished? To ask the
question is to answer 1t. These men
were certain of conviction in any
court Of law In Texas. Even a col
ored jury would in all probability have
melted legal punishment to them, for
colored people are logically intoler-
ant to men Of their race, who commit
these kinds OF crimes.
Their commission reflects upon the
colorcd people generally and makes
the roads OF life unusually rough for
al. A black face becomes n symbol
! Of crime in the neighborhood and
| this is enough to cause reaction
against these kinds Of criminals. But
some day and somehow, God will
bring about change and right AMI
Justice will be triumphant in all Of
this land. Lynch law must go.

submission.
Remarks were made by Cyril +.
Butler, Esq, and by Clifton b. Car
berry, managing editor of the Bos-
ton Post, Boston's greatest ncwspa-
per man, who went to school with
Trottcr and commended him as a
great figure. George l.. Rufiin sang
a tenor solo. William ID. Brigham,
a prominer' white citizen, praised
Trottcr for devotion to the memory
and principles of the AbolitioniSts.
Mrs. n. j. Smithcrman gave Il dra-
matte recitation. Rev. w. ID. Nc
Clane, secretary, declared his prefer
cnce for Trotter in straits to scgrc-
gationalists in riches.
After Il wonderful soprano solo by
Mrs. Estellc Slater Jackson, Of Seat
tie, Rev. j. f.. Mason, Of Livingstone
College, gave the Grafton on Trot-
ter's courage, persistence and con-
tinua activity. Then Edgar =. Ben
jamin, Esq, treasurer, presented the
purse with evident emotion, saying
the colorcd race must choose its own
leaders. Editor Trotter made CRATE
full response and reasscrtcd his prn-
ciples. Rising salutes were given
Mcssrs. Trottcr, Brigham and Car

ing in an anti-lynching conference in
Newark, N. j., from June IS to 90.
The entire weight of the Associa-
TONS forces, throughout the United
States, is to be applied in an or
ganizcd pressure toward the enact
ment by the Senate of the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill, II. r. 13, already pass
ed by the House Of Representatives
There is no doubt felt in the Ma
tional Office of the N. A. A. c.. p,
that President Harding will sign the
measure if and when the Senate en-
acts it. In fact, the Presidents sig
nature is looked upon as foregone
conclusion. The N. a. A. G. p,
campaign on the Dyer Bill has al
ready begun in two states, Michigan
and New Jersey, where local cleo
tons are made to hinge on that issue.

throughout tn country are being ask
ed to make it clear that the Republi-
can Party will be held responsible for
non-pcrformcrs Of it's duty and its
pledge to pass some such legislation
as the Dyer Bill.

his own mind and he does not fail
to let other people know his views

we admire even though we do not
always agree With him.
