irienos IL ne didn't let people hood
Wink him and put rings in his
nose. AS an individual James Baby
Face Carter is likable person.
Mr.. James Edwards, President
OF Edwards and Evans Funeral
Home. James Edwards greatest
companion is foot long pipe and
ne is not friend to anybody in
the world but James Edwards. Ask
him who has he helped. He's tried
to elect himself Worshipful Mas
ter of the Masonic Lodge, he was
kicked out as Exalted Ruler of the
Local Elks Lodge, he flunked in a
race as president Of the State Elks
Association, he is now president
of the Negro Business League of
the city, but dead weight to it,
and ne runs little business that
will always remain his size.
Mr.. Levi Chapple made applica-
lions to the State Sovereignty
commission for money in the name
OF the State ColOred Elks Associa-
ton. The Elks of Mississippi
should ask him did he get the
money and how much did he get.
We have known Levi Chapple for
the last thirty 1907 years. He is
a man whom we've been all across
the fields in the delta and helped
him as We would a relative. We
love him and he knows it but still
we pity him. He is a man who
started out with a good brain but
developed twisted mind and who
survived in Greenville as a parasite
on good people who had pity in
their hearts for him.
Six preachers, we have six
preachers in Greenville who get
up early in the morning, like day
hands used to do when we were a
little water boy on a plantation.
They have little greasy book
begging. They don't visit the
sick nor prepare sermon for Sun
day morning but they are running
the country over putting on a long
face telling the white people what
they are for and against, but
when they get behind their backs
and around people who don't un-
derstand they curse out their dom
ors and brand Humes and Percy
Greene as Uncle Toms We won
der if they think this Is fair to
their donors?
We are no longer complacent.
We are going to post their names
in every Chamber of Commerce Of
flee in Louisiana, Arkansas and
Mississippi. If it is anyone who
is hurting the race and is a hinder
ance to Mississippi as a whole it is
these divine scoundrels.
The Editor of this paper will
not be complacent for he can truth
fully say in public and in private
we have worked for the good of the
race and he thinks the race has
been helped because he works on
the grounds and basis of goodwill.
No man can succeed when he ped
dies hate. We are not a peddler of
hate and the white and colored of
Mississippi know that this is the
divine truth, so help US God.
Roy wilkins
Mr.. Roy Wilkins, who flies down
in Mississippi and makes a great
speech and fly out of Miss, will
never solve the problems in Mis-
sissippi. The truth of it is Roy
Wilkins is not interested in the
of schools, segregation
or any type of civil rights. He
would be one Of the happiest men
in America if such legislature fails
in Washington. Roy Wilkins is in
terested in Roy wilkins. He wants
money, bg money and he doesn't
care how he gets it. If it is at the
expense of Negroes losing their
Jobs, blood shed or their children
being naked, barefooted and ignor-
ant as long as he can live in mil
lionaire style he doesn't give a.
Ask Roy Wilkins what became
of the FEPC campaign, Anti poll
Tax and Anti Lynch Bill and many
other programs that the NAACP
has sponsored and failed.
The organization is like one of
those Protective Associations of the
wild west. Whenever somebody ex-
poses them they use every method
Of killing off the leader of the
vigilantes. We are not supporter
Of the NAACP and never have been
for when DIR. L. X. Williams died in
q plane crash William Pickens, Ma
tional Director of the NAACP, had
everything unkind to say against
him. Ever since that time we have
known that the NAACP was an
designed to kill off
leaders who don't think as they
think. 1t may have started out to
be a good organization but today
It has fallen in bad hands both
and locally.
Whatever Mississippi and the ma
ton do to us remember we've told
you that the people in Mississippi
must be good enough, big enough.
religious and intelligent enough to
solve their problems and If they
are not willing people out OF
won't do it flying down
here in the morning stirring up
strife and flying out at night. We
who live here know this is the truth
and nothing but the truth so help
