'Forasmuch as it hath pleased
Almighty God, in His wise provid-
ence, to take out of this world the
soul of our deceased friend and Sis
ter, Sarah Baiey, who departed this
life Thursday, June 18th at the Park
View Hospital, we can truthfully say
of her that she came to her grave
in full age like as a shock of corn
cometh in it's season. Mother Bailey
ever quoted to me-"The Lord Is
my Shepherd. I shall not want. He
maketh me lie down in green pas.
lures; He eadeth me beside still wa
tiers. He restoreth my soul; He
leadeth me in the path Of righteous
ness for His Names sake" Yea
though I walk through the valley OF
the shadow of death, will fear n.
evil; for thou are with me, Thy rod
and Thy staff they comfort me-Ps

Fiction, which is but for a moment
worketh for us far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory. Cor.

And for that reason she was az
ways cheerful and the favorite a,
the Hospital, and delight to all the
nurses and to those with whom she
came in contact. Although it had
come, just before passing, she smii-
ed as the Spirit whispered to her,
BLESSED are the dead that dies in
the Lord from henceforth. Yea,
sayeth the Spirit, that they may rest
from their labors, and their work do
follow them.-14.13. -, .s.,,

Southern White Women
Again Petition Gov. OF
Miss. Against Lynching
WOMEN OF MISS. URGE
LYNCHERS BE PUNISHED
Hold Federal Intervention Necessary
If Local Authorities Continue

CoCEo ANSSSsSeAy
If Local Authorities Continue
Inactive-Gov. Conner Concurs
Jackson, Miss, - Following the
double lynching near Columbus on
July Is, six prominent white women
of this state sent Governor Sennett
Conner a telegram calling attention
to the outbreak and expressing the
conviction that, if local authorities
continue Indifferent in such cases,
federal intervention will be imper-
alive.
"This opinion" the women said,
els growing in the South, as well as
throughout the nation. Such out
breaks as that at Columbus strength
en- the claims made by many people
that only by federal law can lynch
ing be eradicated. Federal inter-
vention is necessary and inevitable,
unless our public officials take a
more active part in apprehending
and furnishing lynchers than they
are doing at present"
Replying to the communication,
Governor Conner assured the COM
mittee that he concurred in their
views and agreed that everything
possible should be done to prevent
lynchings and punish lynchers. He
called attention to the fact, how
ever, that "under our system of jur.
isprudence persons of the crime OF
lynching must be indicted, tried, ant
convicted in the county where the
crime occurred before they may b.
punished" He further stated thai
under Mississippi law the Governor
has no authority to remove or pun
ish any officer who does not perform
his duty in this connection.
The telegram to the Governor wa
signed by Mrs. Lester Greer, o:
Potts Camp, Mrs. L. w. Afford, o:
McComb City, and Mrs. C. H. Alex
ander, Mrs. w. w. Epperson, Mrs
E. M. Weston, and Mrs. Theo. D

JOE

Joe Lewis To Duplicate
The Wisdom OF
Gene Tunney

"Prize fighting is tough grind"
Joe says, "even if you are not being
hit hard. The hard grind of train
ing, eating just certain foods and be-
ing pulled over and milled about
isn't the sweetest thing in the
world" says the Big Bomber, fur
Their.
eff I reach the goal l have set for
myself (and the reporters. took this
to mean the championship I'll walk
out and leave the other fellows to
argue over the spells"
Truly this is a sensible statement
Joe is making some two years before
he is supposed to reach his peak.
He is good for six or seven years
more Of championship fighting, but if
he thinks some other profession Is
just as good for himself, we see nc
reason why he should not quit the
ring. Joe stands to make close to a
cool million in the next three years
which should be enough to take care
of himself and mother for the rest
of their lives.
Certainly man with all the
money he needs and no scars tt
show for his success is much bette
off than one who is punch drum
and cauliflower-eared and has only
money to show for his ring success
