Believes He Sees
Dead Wife, Dies
OF Heart Attack

GOLDSBORO, NC. - (ANP)-
A man who believed that he had
seen a vision of his dead wife
died here last week in a city jail
cell.
The dead man is John Edmun-
son, sc, who lived alone in a little
house. He had been arrested
week before his death for taking
numerous shotgun shots at "faces"
he saw staring at him when his
wife returned" to him.
He told police that his wife re-
turned to him from the dead, then
went to bed where he was. At this
time, he said, he saw a number of
faces starring into his room. Be
cause he could not stop seeing the
faces he said he began to shoot at
them.

magical night several hours after
it began when county officials ar
rested him. At the time of his
death arrangements were being
made to have him moved to the

NAACP 9Th District
Meeting Set

Florida NAACP branches of the
9Th District will hold their quar-
terly meeting at the Primitive
Baptist Church, on the Old Dixie
Highway in North Riviera Beach,
Sunday, Dec. 18th at 800 pm. An
interesting program is being pre-
pared by the local branch, under
the leadership of Abe Dantzler.
Miss Doloris Primus, president of
the North Riviera NAACP Youth
Council, will serve as mistress Of
ceremonies. The principal address
will be delivered by M. c. Bodie,
editor of the Florida News, West
Palm Beach.
Since this is the last meeting for
1850, each branch is urged to put
forth a special effort to pay out
its quota for support of the State
Conference. This bit of coopera-
ton is very necessary to help ease
the serious financial crisis that
now faces the State Conference.
Branches also are urged to do
everything possible to increase
their memberships before the end
of 1850. The NAACP has done a
remarkable job in promoting the
welfare of Negroes this year. It's
victroies before the U. S. Supreme
court in the Sweat and McLaurin
cases last June were among our
greatest achievements in this
fight for full freedom since Lin
coins Proclamation. In addition
to these victories, the NAACP is
still fighting to save the lives of
the Groveland Boys in Florida and
the "MartinSville Seven" in Vir-
ginia.. And just last month
NAACP lawyers helped to save
the life of 1t. Leon Gilbert, the
Negro soldier who was sentenced
to die in Korea. Surely the
NAACP deserves a membership
from every Negro in America.
District officers are James
Powe, Belle Glade, chairman;
Miss Christine Gaddy, West Palm
Beach, secretary; Elder Fred VII
liams, South Riviera Beach, as
Sistant secretary.
