of racial adjustment which has
served them in the past will serve
them in the future. But the mach

and is inadequate for the gigantic
talks that the present and future
holds.

threat within organized labor by

able to make the fight or the in

There must be a regrouping and a
new alignment of the liberal forces
in America if a tidal wave of reac-
ton and anti-Negro sentiment does
not sweep the country when the
war is over.
This new alignment of forces
must be on a nationwide scale.
The forces must consist of repres-
entatives of the church, labor and
fraternal bodies, colleges and uni
versities. organized social work and
those groups in the community
which are committed to economic
an dsocial advance, both white and
black. And these forces must be
organized as a Unit to counter adj
verse propaganda and to act as the
first line of defense. They must
be ready also to take the offensive
and to utilize the churches, the
schools, and the press in order to
press home the battle for complete
democracy.
The basis of this organization
must be local and regional rather
than national. It's power must
stem from the bottom not from the
top. And it must be geared to
meet the problems peculiar to each
locality through men and women
of both races who live there, who
make toheir living there, and who
are familiar with the hocial and e.
economic conditions which there pre-
vail.

Johnnie Mayo. The Supreme Court
of Florida ruled that without the
confession there was no evidence
to involve Harrison, and since the
confession was procured Illegally
it could not be used. AT the trial
there would be no evidence on

The NAACP reminded the COZ

the situation in the South do not
need to be told that when there
are such ~reversals by a southern
court there is certainly grave doubt
as to the guilt of a Negro.
Opponents of federal anti-lynch-

that the states themselves would
do the job of preventing lynching
and Furnishing lynchers. The rec

"LYNCHING"
" MYRTLE NJ. D

Dear Reader:
This time the facts iii rhyme
Are very unpleasant to read
But we hope the truthful lines
Will help you understand, why
we continue to plead
For our country to right the
wrong
We have suffered so long
Lynching is a disgrace
To the human race, and to an
nation
Boasting civilization, and isn't it
hypocrisy
To censor those across the sea
Tor barbaric cruelty
When our country upholds bar
barity,
We are sure no savage, has ever
been
Guilty of worse torture, Than
the American white man
Who lynches his fellowman,
Please help US in u fight
And help America toto get
right
In Gods most holy sight.
The gathering crowd is allowed,
to go on their way
To take another's life away
The laws they do not respect
For those who have sworn to
protect,
Their duties now gladly neglect.
For they too are on the job
And leading members of the mob.
The human %vultures, for the
victims blood now thirst
<aliu ~ lu0y oIilp HlIIl, naked as
the day of his birth
They are now ready to attack, a
defenseless black
The fiends laugh merrily, as the
victim pleads for mercy
AS they strike terrific blows
upon his back
They drag his torched body,
Ger the street
Writhing in agony from head to
feet, and in his dying throes,
Cut off his fingers and toes, and
then his ear for souvenirs.
While another does still worse,
that cannot be put in verse.
And then one member of the
mob, with a Satanic grin
Thoroughly does his job, and
with a wild savage shout
Another gourges his eyes out
He who was once a human being
Has long before given up the
ghost
And his broken and bleeding
body, is now hung upon a tree
Or post
So all the world can see, their
crime of infamy
Even the devil in Hell. smarts
with envy,
To think that even he couldn't
do quite SO well
In his deeds of cruelty, to human
ity.
Through all the years to come,
they shall remember their evil
job well done
For a guilty conscience will
never let
one member of the mob to ever
forget, they shall always hear
his dying scream, and see his
torched body as they dream.
And when their life on earth is
done, and their judgement hour
shall come, they shall answer
to God
For the life of the victim they
robbed.

THE reason we asked the news
papers to publish a coupon" Mr..
Franklin said, was to bring good

of the judges. In the community

into small garden plots, which you

day, the judges will give the prizes
to the best gardens whether they
are entered or not
Greater Variety Urged.
From what I have seen Of gar
dens around the city, and I have
inspected thousands of them, peo-
pie ought to pay more attention to
variety Of crops In order to win
prizes. OF course. it Is too late to
have more varieties growing for the
June judging, but 1t is not too late
to balance planting for the Sep
tember inspection
mo prize contest had been an
nounced when people planted their
gardens. People were just trying to
help the food situation by growing
food and many went heavy on the
vegetables they liked
Some people spend hours raking
between the rows getting their gar
dens ready for competition. 1t is
not Of importance that every par
ticle of earth be the same size. All
that is necessary is that the ground
be free from weeds and cultivated; !;
that is, broken, so that it will retain
rain and not let 1t flow off.
Use Mature Vegetables.
There is no point in holding early
or late crops for the inspection of
the judges You may be proud Of
the size and number of pods your
pea vines are bearing. But if they
are ready. pick them and eat them.
Don't hold them for the judges to
see. Overmature stuff will count
against you.
Another thing is this: Rotation
of crops should be prompt. II your
pea vines are through bearing, have
them pulled and another crop plant
ed by the time the judges arrive.
1 note on my rounds that many
gardeners have been saving space
for later crops. These should all
be planted. or at least the ground
prepared for planting. by the time
the judges arrive. All space in a
garden entered for competition
should be utilized by the time it
is judged.
Get All Weeds Out.
"Of course, the first thing to do
in preparing a garden for inspection
is to eradicate all the weeds. I

See to it that you have variety

competition does not mean the
greatest number of species that can
be crowded into a small garden. 1t
means according to the instruc-
tions given the judges: Does the
assortment being grown provide the

should not harbor weeds. Trim the
