Large Attendance
At 5h Anniversary
Taborian Hospital

Mound Bayou. Miss, (DSN) =
One of the largest crowds in the
colorful history Of the states only
all negro twon, tonservallvely
estimated as more than 5000 men,,
women and children, from every
section Of the state attneded the
celebration of the 9TH Anniver-
sarv of The Taborian Hospital
here on February 18th, the birth
day of Abraham Lincoln.
The principal address of the
celebration was delivered by DR..
Walter A. Zuber of Tuplo, Miss,
who no tonly one of the states
leading physicians but is also one
of it's outstanding public speakers.
cdr. Zuber paid undying tribute
to the pioneers whose visions,
tolls and sacrifices brought the
Knights and Daughters of Tabor
through a period in the history of
the state when faith in Fraternal
organizations had all but been
destroyed and which family led
through to establishment of the
Taborian Hospital, at Mound Bay
OH, Mississippi.
Praising the work that the hos
pital had done in eIevating the
suffering and need for mediacl
attention among the people of the
state and predicting 70 rit flu
ture of far greater and more out
standing service, DIR. Zuber de
clard that Tn Taborian Hospital
was one of the greatest achieve
ments of negro organization in the
history of Mississippi and one of
the outstanding negro achieve
ments of the entire South and Ma
ton.
Preliminary remakS were made
by the Chief Grand Mentor, Sir
P. NJ. Smith and ohtre officers of
the organizations, including he
rmarks of welcome of Mayor B.
A. Greene of Mound Bayou.
Nowhere among the more than
1000 men, women and children
who attended this 9Th celebration
of the anniversary of the founding
of the Taborian Hospital was
there any evidence whatever of
dissatisfaction regarding the hos
pital and the organization as a
result of the failure to renew the
contract og DR.. T. M. r. Howard
as Chief Surgeon. While the crowd
busted themselves with the niov-
mnt of tn different ASPECTS of the
celebration, however, bills were
distributed by DR.. Howard and
a small group in an attempt to
show that the cost of operating
the hospital had ben increased
since his custer. A check of the
crowd found that the bills had
had little or no effect on those
who took he time to read hem.
Members of the board manage
ment of tn hospital wre in high
spirits and expressed themselves
very enthusiastically regarding
the operation of the hospital un-
der the new administration.

Mississippi State Federation Of

transactions, including an oil and
gas lease which added over $500
to it's treasury and makes Fedora
ton properties available to oil
prospectors and set in motion
plans for large scale development

Early in January Federation Of
ficers completed arrangements
with the Andrew Jackson Council

ton about ten miles from Jack

ment the federation and Scouts
will administer the project joint
ly. Non-profit organizations de-
string to use Camp Loobalooo will
make application through the fed
Grafton. All organizations patron
izing the camp Except bona-fide
federated clubs) will pay a small
maintenance fee. For their share
in developing the camp the boy
scouts will have exclusive use of
the facilities during the scout
camping season. The scout lease
is for % years and may be renew
ed upon agreement by both par
ties.
Also to be located at the Mar
garet Murray Washington Recrea-
ton Center is the federation club
house. A drive was launched last
October to raise funds for the
building which is to be a monu-
ment to progressive womanhood
in Mississippi. The initial goal
of the campaign is set at 100000
and will close next October when
plans for the final drive will be
launched.
According to Mrs. J. E. Johnson,
Chairman of Campaign Commit
tee, reports show that Individual
clubs are enthusiastic over the
project. The following have al
ready made plans for raising
their quotas: Terrell Literary
Club, Jackson, Mrs. M. M. HUI
bert, President; Paul Laurence
Dunbar Club, Yazoo City, Mrs. l..
T. Miller, President; Reapers So

unmasked Mob Storms Jail To
Obtain Lynch Victim; Jailer Unable
To Identify Members of Mob
Mob Victim Held As
Suspect of Crime


Earle, a rs year old Negro veteran
was cut and shot to death by an
armed and unmaswed mob of
white men here Monday, who
stormed the county Jail at Pick
ems and forced Ed GiIstrap, 62
year old jailer to unlock the cell
door where Earle was being held,
after being arrested Saturday
night as suspect in the death of
T. w. Brown, a white Greenville
taxi driver.
The shot and knife punctured
body of the victim of the first
1947 lynching was found early
Monday morning, less than two
hours after the armed and I'M
masked mob had taken him from
the Pickens County Jail and mys-
ferrous telephone call to a Green
vile undertaken told where the
body could be found. According
to reports, there are a number Of
conflicting versions of the Incl
dent, as a suspect in connection
with which Earle was arrested
Saturday night. One report says
that the driver Taxi had been
wounded by a Negro passenger
with whom he became involved in
an argument over excessive cab
fare. Another report was that
the taxi driver was assaulted and
robbed and was found found in
his cab on a lonely country road
in a dying condition from wounds
in the chest and head Saturday
night.
In ordering an immediate in
vestigation of the Iynching, Gov
ernor ]. Strom Thurmand from the
Executive Ofce in Columbia said:
Il do not favor lynching and 1
shall exert every resource at my
command to apprehend all per-
sons who may be involved in such
fragrant violation of the law.
The Governor then ordered Joel
Townsend, chief of the State Con-
stabulary to take charge of the
investigation. Following the Gov
ernor's order, Townsend ordered
Captain G. r. Richardson to the
lynch scene and authorized him
to use all facilities of the State
Constabulary to apprehend the
killers and to say on the job
until every clue had been run
down.
The lynching was deplored by
Sheriff R. H. Beardon of Green
vile County who stated that he
was opposed to this sort of thing
II am a great believer in the
south and southern tradition,
the sheric said. ''But l feel that
the law ought to be allowed to,
take care of punishment of crime.
The body of the lynch victim
was identied by Sheric Waymon
H. Pickins who identified the
body by two one-do1lar bills which
he said Earle had in his pocket
when put in Jail.
At Tuskegee Institute the lynch
ing was recorded as the rst for the
year of 1947.

REASONS SUGGESTED
A preliminary survey Of the
results Of our inquiry suggests
the following explanations for
this fact.
/ Republicans have done moth

2. State and local leaders Of
the Republican party have not
taken Negro Republican Spokes-
men into their councils.
