Monroe Watts said that Willie
Vinson, 25-year-old Negro suspec-
ted of the attempted attack of a
white woman was taken from a
hospital by a group of men and
hanged to winch at a cotton gin
outside the city.
Watts said the condition of the
Negroes body indicated it had been
dragged behind an automobile be-
fore being hanged, but there were
no bullet wounds other than one
received when Vinson was cap

cafe where he was employed as a
dishwasher.
Vinson had been identified ten
tatively by the woman involved.
The sheriff declared he had in
vestigated the lynching but had
made no arrests and had no clues.
"The nurses in the hospital did
not get a good look at them, it
happened so quickly" he said.
Nobody seems to know who they
WERE"
The attempted attack was the
third in the community this
month.

1.-THE years 1910 to 1913 are the
last seven years of the third quar-
ter of the first 132-year cycle set
up by some of the old prophets.
They stated that the 1872 years
between 1848 and 1880 will see a
complete change in every phase
of human activity. This period
will completely alter the map of
the world. New continents will
rise, sections of old continents will
sink beneath the seas. Our civili-
cation will be destroyed in order
to clear ground for a new civil
ization superior to any that mas
preceded it.
"It was about 1848 that Japan
was opened to commerce with the
Occidentals. This was an out
standing event in the history of
mankind. The year 1848 is a key
year in the life of our planet. It
marks an era of peace, plenty, and
security. However, it is prophes-
led, the complete manifestation of
the millennium will not take place
until the year 1880.
"a period of thirty-three years
of warfare on earth began in the
year 1914. Before this present cy-
Gle of thirty-three years ushers in
the next thirty-three year cycle
in 1948, the troubles foretold in
the book of Daniel and Revelation
will have come to pass. Between
