Body Found In River

On Thursday morning Constable
Snugg of the local police force was
noticed walking near the banks OF
Pearl River. Some time during the
morning he discovered the nude
form OF Joe Rodgers In the slug
gish waters of the river When the
body had been recovered from It's
watery grave il was laid upon the
banks where Il was viewed by
many citizens.
The body OF Joe Rodgers bore
mute testimony 10 the manner in
which he had been disposed OF. Al
though sllled in death. his lifeless
form was a CHASTITY and revealing
witness TO the fact that he had
come 10 his death at the hands OF
a mob With half-inch rope his
feet had been securely bound and
his hands tied tightly behind him.
According TO numerous persons
who viewed the body Immediately
after 1t had been recovered from
the river and while is reposed at
the funeral home. Rodgers body
had been beaten 10 a pulp The
marks on the body seemed 10 indi-
cate that Rodgers was beaten from
head TO feet with wooden clubs and
sticks The head was smashed from
heavy blow and the body so
bruised and misshapen as TO arouse
doubt as 10 whether il wac Rodgers
or some other victim OF mob's
fury. one OF Rodgers friends was
Canton where he had private
room and upon which he looked
as his home Here he was thor
oughly satisfied and contented He
was generally known 10 be quiet.
Negroes of Canton are no more
or less sensitive 10 such brutal
treatment as that meied out TO Joe
Rodgers than are Negroes general

Work OF Mob

The evidence liz the case points
concluslvely and Enthusiastically to
the conclusion that Joe Rodgers
was lynched by mob composed
OF a considerable number OF men.
II IL unreasonable 10 believe that
"a powerfully muscled man as one
witness described Rodgers who
weighed around 1870 pounds. could
be securely tied hand and foot with
a half-irch grass rope, beaten TO
pulp. dragged 10 the rivers edge
and his body disposed of by a sin
gle man or by only two or three
men Such could have happened
had Rodgers been knocked upcon'
scious by blow or in some mau-
ner made powerlesS II such had
been the case there would have
heen no necessity 10 80 to me
trouble Ia bind The body IN The
manner heretofore Described
The mill az which Rodgers VAS
employed is located partly within
the city ~ Canton II Is so situated
as 10 MAKE il extremely unlikely
thar group of men from outside
OF the mill could enter the grounds
without being seen by the colNred
residents No unusual excitement
or disturbance was known To have
hecn noted by The Negro residents
in the mill area The facts would
seem 10 Warrant the conclusion
that Joe Rodgers Was lynched by
mob composed OF workers at the
Dinkman Mills.
The opinion WAS advanced by
several persons that tho Negro en-
ployocs may have hcon forced 10
accompany the moh and 10 witness

done IN order 10 teach The nige,rs
respect for white meu and TO have

Rodgers death leak to the general
public
Your investigator is inclined 10
believe thai unusual factors op-
crate in this case since persons
who are known 10 possess valuable
information refuse 10 divulec any
facts in connection With he case
or In any way 70 talk about il.
Your investigator worked through
well-known Negro citizens of the
immediate vicinity Of Canton. but
they were unable TO secure certain
information from some persons
known to have considerable knowl-
edge or the affair.
