An Ode For The
Stote Press

BY Mrs. Adeline Whitfield
Fort Smith
Why worry and complain?
There's nothing to be gained
BY worrying because the paper is
small.
You'll still get inspiration if
you read it all,
The pages are few.
They know that too.
They're sorry there're no more.
But truly, do you read all four?
Please have patience and wait,
Soon again there will be eight.
So buy it now and they will know
We want to see the STATE
PRESS grow.

Morris, for % years klans-

Morris refused to comment on
the present membership of the

gun or pistol. I knew this was
trouble-but never expected
anything like what happened"
Harrison said, Their leader
was tall, tough looking man. l
had never seen him before-I
didn't recognize any of them.
The leader ignored me and told
Dorsey: All right, George, get
out of the car"
The Negroes were crying and
pleading for mercy, saying: We
amt done no HARM" The two
Negro men were taken from the
car and the women left inside.
But Malcolm's wife evidently
recognized one of the lynching
party and it was death warrant
for her and the other woman.
AS her husband was led away
she cried out: "Please stop.
Mr.. :"
She was interrupted by COM
mand of "halt" from the leader,
before she could speak the name.
The men were ordered to 70
back and get those women, Har-
rison said.
The four Negroes were led TO
a clump of woods rising out Of
the swamp, lined up against trees
and the lynchers poured volley
of shots into their bodies.
Maj. Spence said the efficiency
of the killers indicated the lynch
ing had been planned for two
weeks"
J. J. Gautier of Macon, assist
ant U. S. attorney for the Middle
Georgia district, arrived the next
day to see what civil rights had
been violated.
The women's bodies indicated
that they were brutally beaten
before they were shot.
The lynching was described -
the pay-oH Of Eugene TalmadGe
election campaign. His appeal to
violence has borne bitter fruit.

Trout, La.--One of the strang-

little city recently, of which
America should know about.
When the local minister, who
has been living here since 1910
went to see the Supt. of schools,
that he may secure the school
auditorium for the Wings Over
Jordan Program to be staged
here Saturday, July 9th. The
Supt. informed the colored min
lister that he would have to see a
white trustee as he did not want
to cause ill-feeling among the
races. After a week of delibera-
ton and putting off the program

of the white school. The Supt. in
formed the colored minister that
at was for the best interest of
all races and that it would leave
ill-feelings if Negroes would sing
in a white school where only
white children attend. Wings
Over Jordan did not sing in the
white school, but did sing at a
Negro school one mile from
town.

THE NEGRO vets who fought
on foreign soil to bring freedom
and security to all the peoples in
Europe have found out, that their
troubles are based on the fact,
that they do not live in Europe.
THE GoUGING out the eyes of
a World War II veteran less than
five hours after he had been
honorably discharged, in South
Carolina by cop, and the lynch
ing of two men and two women
by crackers down in Georgia, is
conclusive proof that Adolph
Hitler's spirit still lives. 1t
showed that the Germans knew
just as much about torture as a
Hotentot knows about trigo-
nometry.
LOCAL white baptist church
last week pulled their dirty linen
out of the closet for a cleaning.
OF course that's no news. The
Negroes have been doing that for
some time. But one significant
aspect of the white baptist is that
they refused to drive visitors from
their church, which is quite a
contrast from Negro baptists.
Remember First Baptist!
THE EDITOR of the Arkansas
Gazette showed a little concern
over the lynching of four Negroes
down in Georgia by mob. In
an editorial Sunday; 1.-THE Georgia
Horror Puts the Law on Trial
the editor said in part g. all
this country needs is enforcement
of laws old in this country and
ancient in the institution of
civilized society" Where we are
concerned is why the editor
failed to mention the enforce
ment of laws when Negroes were
brutally murdered in our own
state. Remember when a Negro
soldier on our own Ninth street
was pumped full of lead while
lying flat on his back in a daze,
by city patrolman? Remember
when Negro Soldier was pumped
full of lead while his hands were
pointing toward the Heavens at
Hampton by an officer of the
law? Remember when a Negro
soldier had the back of his head
completely blown off while get
ting ready to board train at
Dumas by a Dumas cop? We all
are more concerned about things
happening at a distance!
