Five W hite Men
Freed in Death
OF Negro
FREE MAN WHO KILLED
YOUTH BOUNCING BALL

Lexington, MISS. (0pecIalJ
The arrest of Miss Hazel Brannon,
White, Editor of two county pa
pers here Monday in connection
with the Holmes County Flogging
Case is being looked upon by in
telligent people here and elsewhere
throughout the state as further
evidence of the fact that the
"Negro Question, the continued
denial to the Negro Citizens of
the state his basic rights as a
citizen, constitutes a real and
growing threat to freedom Of
speech, freedom of the press, as
well as all other rights and free
doms, not only for the Negro
but for all the people of the state.
Miss Brannon was arrested on
a bench warrant charging con-
tempt of court after talking to
the wife of Leon McAtee, Negro
Farm Hand, who was a state wit
ness in the trial of five white men
being tried on charge of man
slaughter in connection with the
flogging to death of her husband
several weeks ago. The citation
called upon Miss Brannon to show
cause why she should be held in
contempt of court for talking to
a witness with whom she had been
instructed by a witness not to
talk. Miss Brannon stated that
she had been talking to the wit
ness to make sure that she had
heard her statements correctly
while she was testifying in the
case.
With a reputation as a vigorour
crusader, Miss Brannon, one Of the
youngest editors in the state, has
for some months been waging a
campaign against liquor, gamb-
ling, and law violation in Holmes
County. In recent editorials size
sharply criticized the Holmes
County Sheriff and his Deputies
for laxity of law enforcement in
the county.
While the Editor was being
faced with the charge of con-
tempt of court, five white men
charged with manslaughter in
connection with the death of Leon
McAtee the Negro farm hand who
was beaten to death with rope
and his body thrown into a bayou,
was freed Tuesday night after
being found innocent of the charge
of manslaughter after the jury
heard testimony that the whip
ping was not severe enough to
have caused death. No mention
was made of the fact that the
body was found in the bayou and
the possibility that he could have
been beaten and thrown in the
bayou to drown in reaching the
verdict.
McAtee was beaten by the five
men after he had been charged
with the theft of a saddle. Freed
in the case were Jeff Dodd, ST.,
Jeff Dodd, Jr., Dixon Roberts,
James Roberts, and Spencer Ellis.
Judge S. F. Davis, the presid-
ing judge set the hearing in the
case of Miss Brannon for We'd
nesday, October %, but postponed
the case when he learned that
Miss Brannon had not retained
counsel.
Freed also last week by the
Holmes County Court was Thad
Dickerson, white man who shot to
death a 16 year old Negro boy,
Chenley Dennis on Sunday after
noon, April 14th, at Pickens, in
what was called the most cold
blooded murder in the towns his

Tells UN Assembly
To End RaciaIism
And imperialism

New York, Oct = (NNPA) =
Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandlt, chief
of the Indian delegation and sister
of the Indian statesman, Pandlt
Jawaharlal Nehru, last Friday pl-
eaded before the United Nations
General Assembly for the end OF
imperialism and the elimination of
the doctrines of racialism.
Renewing the attack on the treat
ment of Indians in the Union of
South Africa, Mrs. Pandit remark
ed that India had not yet achieved
her full independence, but had trav-
eled far along the road toward
freedom and now for the first time
was represented at an international
assembly by a delegation accredit-
ed by national government.
To-day the Government of India
has announced the outlines of an
independent foreign policy" Mrs.
Pandit declared. "We believe that
peace and freedom are indivisible
and the denial of freedom anywhere
must lead to conflict and war. We
repudiate Utterly the Nazi doctrine
of racialism wheresoever and in
whatever form it may be practiced.
"We seek no domination over
Others" she added. eve claim no
privileged position over other
peoples, but we do claim equal
and honorable treatment for our
people wherever they go, and we
cannot accept any discrimination
against them"
Mrs. Pandit said India would
appeal the issue of the treatment
OF Indians in South Africa to world
opinion and to the tribunal of the
United Nations. She reminded her
audience that the disposal of this
issue would be watched closely by
the non-European peoples of the
world, who, she said, were an over
Whelmlng section of the human
race.
She insisted that a gross and
containing outrage" against the
principles of the United Nations
Charter surely was within the pro
vince of the assembly.
India hold that the independ-
ence OF all colonial peoples is the
vital concern o. freedom-loving
peoples everywhere" she said. "She
looks with confidence to the United
Nations to give to the exploded
millions of the world faith and
hope and the promise that their
liberation is at hand.
India is concerned about the
use of armed power of member
states for purpose other than pre-
venting aggression on behalf of
the United Nations.
The use Of troops against the
national aspirations of people for
the protection of imperial vested
interests and virtually as armies
OF occupation threatening both the
weaker peoples and the world peace
as whole, call for unreserved
concentrations by the United Ma
lions - and for the demand that
all such troops shall be withdrawn.
"The Assembly is no doubt a.
ware of the strength and unity
of feeling in India on the use of
Indian troops in Indonesia and
elsewhere" she concluded. "Surely
with the great war ended in victory
for freedom, it is time to end these

Southern Farm
Population On
Decline

Washington (NNPA) = The
farm population of the Southern
states has declined nearly -four
million since 1885, John w. Nit
chell, field agent of the extension
service of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture told the Confer
ence of Presidents Of Negro Land
Grant Colleges here last Thurs
day.
Addressing the group on agri-
cultural extension service, Mr..
Mitchell said the farm population
had dwindled from 100000 in
1885 to a little more than 13,000,-
900 at the present time.
He blamed most of the decline
in farm population on the reduc-
ton of cotton acreage, stating
that the decline of cotton produc-
ton fran 15,268,000 bales in the
1925-1929 period to 9,015,000 bales
in 1915 had made fewer workers
necessary on farms.
In addition he listed five eco
nomic factors directly affecting
the southern rural population.
They were:
l. Steady increase in farm unit
acreage causing reduction in
the number of farm families re-
quired.
2. Substantial improvements
in crop yields allowing farmers te
increase their production from 81
to SO per cent, thus reducing the
number of people needed to pro,
duce the yearly output.
8. Rapid increase in mechani.
cation of farms.
A. Increased productivity due tc
increase of mechanization anC
wider knowledge of culture meth
DDS.
5. Steady downward trend Of
| production costs.
The low income farmer is the
one being squeezed out, Mr.. Nit
chell declared. His elimination i:
being controlled by the skill ant
the facilities which TIE farmer
now finds available to him.
The $500 a year rural family Of
yesteryear now requires 1900 OF
! more year, Mr.. Mitchell declar
ed.
The average rural family Of
/ today is not content with wha-
the same family would have put
up with twenty years ago." he
emphasized.
'Not even the 'Live-at-Home
program appeals to this family
if it only means eating, although
there might by plenty of nourish-
ing food. Other comforts of life
must be forthcoming. A modern
home with furniture and conven-
and see and be seen, educationa,
fences, opportunity to go places
opportunities for the children as
well as for the entire family
These are but few of the de-
mands of the present day rural
family"
The land-grant colleges, Mr..
Mitchell added, has played ma
jor role in the awakening of the
backward population of rural Am
erica.
Mr.. Mitchell then asked the
presidents for better agricultural
training in land grant colleges.
He said such a request coming
from an extension worker, who
was well aware of the good the
colleges are doing, needed no quail
ification or apology.
81 subscribe fully to the defiant
educators of the race who take
exception to the term Negro edu-
cation" Mr.. Mitchell said. 'Edu-
ton must be of the most effective
and efficient brand, not by race
but the best to be obtained on
these times"
"The brand of agricultural
training administered in rural
leadership training must be good
Negro agriculture in rural COM
munitY training, but the best
such training obtainable for these
