The Till Case In RETROSPECT

From: The McComb Enterprise Journal, McComb, Miss.
McComb, Miss. Nov. olive, the people of Mis-
sissippi viewing the murder and kidnapping cases IN
retrospect must conclude that we can but be ashamed
of conduct.
Mississippi people are not murderers We do not
condone the murder kidnapping of people whether
they be white colored But when justice appears in
the role of farce and people generally are afraid to
assert themselves then the people ourselves because
of cowardice, become parties of crimes.
The Jackson State Times warned editorialy that the
Till case will continue to haunt the state"
ut wound up, not in the solid ground of justice &C
complished but became symbol of the whte-hot
determination of Mssssppans to conduct their affairs
as they please" Editor Norman Bradley wrote.
'The symbol ill chosen, the battle waged against
the wrong foe because it took the of blind OPP
position to outside interference rather than to an OBJ
vous injustice.
mississippi has betrayed its own sense of decency
and its own of independence in the management
of its affairs.
1--WE showed the world all right, that Mississippi
does not bow to the dictates of the National Association
for the Advancement of Coored People, but the NAACP
is not the loser Justice the real loser and when that
is true, Mississippi suffers
There escape from the basic truth that state
must be community of law and justice if it is to
maintain the respect of the world.
The greatest handicap the State of Mississippi has
experienced in many years is the reaction to the Till
murder and kidnapping trials Whoever killed that
dnwitted Negro boy rendered dsservce to Missis-
sippi which is inestimable.
The attitude of Mississippi people suggests that we
fell for divergent attack. We approached the Till
cases if we had succeeded in placing the NAACP
trial By failing to find and convict the murderers
and kdnappers we assumed that the NAACP was get
ting kick in the teeth. The truth is that supplied
that organization with propaganda material which has
been used to deame our state in every country OF the
globe.
Outsiders of being unjust to the Negroes
of Mississippi. They seek to drive wedge between
the good Negroes and good white people of Mississippi
No one dispute the fact that this is true And how
do we go about dsproving the claims of the NAACP?
We manifest attitude which is contrary to law and
order We are accused of a calloused regard of the
courts where Negroes concerned and then in our
resentment reveal the amazing and contradictory posi-
ton of proving that we are guilty of what we are
accused.

color lines but the number OF Ne,
gro cowboys quickly dwindled ana
finally disappeared when the per-
manent settlers brought more con-
venticnal life to the west.
