Checking the files is inter

Like the two wars less than rs
years apart for almost identi-
cal causes when nothing was
settled. And like the Free
State of Stateline" case, on
which we have a complete file
and on which nothing has been
done in 1870 years. Nothing
that amounted to anything,
that is, or in any way solved
the problem.
Our file runs back only two
years and begins with a grand
jury report in November. 1945,
where we underlined the rec
ommendation that the Board
of Supervisors request the Gov

to definitely establish the east

Let's run on through the
file: On February 8. 1916. we
wrote story with this head
Supervisors Ask Governors
Aid in Line Dispute: three
weeks later, on February 28,
we wrote Greek L. Rice
Pledges Aid In Line Row. (Mr.
Rice was and is the Attorney
General. having been re-elect-
ed without opposition in the
primary this Summerl.
On March |, we wrote Free
State Nav Be Forced Back In
Lawful Union. telling how the
Attorney General of Alabama
had agreed to help. and the
next week proclaimed Author
ity to Settle Mississippi Line
Row Asked of legislature.
The next week we reported
'Bill 20 Settle Stateline Row
Goes On Calendar" and the
next, state Line Bill Passes
Senate, Awaits Signing" and
finally, on April 5. 1916. we
wrote Governor Signs Bill to
Settle State Line Row.
Long before now. we should
have been able to close this
file with a story bearing this
head: State Line Row Settled.

we haven't had the pleasure.

We Must Stop Mob Violence in America

l am thinking today of the
sad and tragic events that have
piled up SO tall a monument to
racial hate this past year. Most
Of them have occurred close to
my home here in Georgia, Wal
ton County with its four
lynched Greenville, S. C.
where a jury set 26 men free
who had confessed to a lynch
ing Now the attempted
lynching in Jackson, N. c.
Three small egentS that cast
a long shadow across the world.
They we're sick men who
lynched that Negro at Green
Vile. Sick men composed that
Jury who thrsw Justice away
like a cheap thing. Sick men
lynched and sick men protect
, ed the lynchers in Walton
County. Men made sick by hate
and fear and ignorance, and by
a culture that too often and too
long hassgiven the green light
to mob violence and mob hate
Every man ON that jury, every
Lyncher. every potential lvnch-
er, will tell you. Keep the rest
of the country out Of this; this
is our business"
Are we too. going to chalk a
circle around each racial crime
and tell the rest of the world to
Keep out? Or are we ready
now to take over this emer-
gency and handle it in a ma
ture and sane manner?
There comes a turning point
in mems affairs when new de-
cisions must be made to avoid
profound disaster. What we do
next about lynching and mob
violence may well be the test
case that will decide our capa-
city fcr cooperating with the
world in this time of desperate
need.
A state. a region, can no more
handle racial emergencies alone
than it can handle alone the
results of a flood or tornado,
Our peoples prejudice has over
sl0Wed the bounds of reason. In
creased by world tensions,
whipped on by a loose floating
hate that is sweeping across the
minds Of men everywhere. it
,as reached proportions so de-
structive of law and order and
justice and human values that
only the fool, or the sick, can
now say. Leave us alone and
ye1l handle ii"
For 65 years we have been
aging that. And during thcse
65 years we have had 1882
lynchings. Only 1 per cent. of
hese lynchings has received a
sentence, even of the mildest
