Some Local Preachers And The
Advice OF Jesus

We get the word from time to time about
sermons and pulpit statements by small minority
of Negro preachers in Jackson who have allowed
their pulpits and churches to become fulcrums for
civil rights and political discussions and for urg-
ing their parishoneers to stand up and be counted
Many of those who have given ear to this
foolish advice have already gone to Jail while the
civil rights advocate go about begging money to
bail them out, but mostly to put in their pockets
as pay for their work on behalf of Negro rights
most of which, aside from being at times spec
tacular and dramatic, is doing nothing but deepen
ing the hatreds, Illustration, and bewilderment
among Negroes, and keeping wide the gap between,
and lack of communications between the Negro
and white leaders of the state.
These preachers here referred too and con-
stantly getting up before their congregations pic
turing the situation of Negroes as the same as that
of the Children of Israel and the calls now being
heard are made to appear as those of Moses in the
Land of Egypt telling Pharoh to "et my children
go"
More like the situation of Negroes in Missis-
sippi today was that of the Jews under the yoke
of the Roman Empire during the time of Jesus,
and here's what Jesus told them, against what
some of their leaders, seeking the acclaim of the
masses and the popularity of the moment told

The Negro Vote And Mississippi An
Answer To Editor Oliver Emmerich

The gifted and distinguished editor of the
State Times, Hon. Oliver Emmerich in one of his
most recent editorials the Negro problem in the
state, raised the question of the Negro right to
vote, while at the same time pointing to the fear
supposedly prevalent among white people of the
state, of Negro block voting
In the very first place on the question of the
Negro right to vote in the state, regards the
fear of Negro block voting, in answer to Mr.. En-
merchs editorial we would list the often repeated
charge of Negro block voting, and the supposedly
prevalent fears among white people of the state
concerning such Negro block voting, as perhaps
number one among the numerous cliches invented
by those who attempt to justify the continued de-
NAL of the Negro right to vote and political partic
patton in the state.
Since 1916 when Negroes first began to exer-
else the right to vote in the Democratic primaries
in the south, other issues of the campaign aside,
where there has been little or nothing to choose
from among the candidates the Negro issue,
studies of the Negro vote have shown that Ne
groes divide their votes along the lines as do
white voters
One of the worst drawbacks to the develop
ment of better race relations in Mississippi, and
among perhaps the worst hinderances to more wide
spread and wholesome economic, cultural, and edu-
cationa development within the state, is the con-
tinuing Negro issue in Mississippi politics. We
would here point out that only more widespread
voting and political participation of Negroes will
eliminate the Negro issue from Mississippi politics.
We see no cause for fear of Negro mass voting
in the state. The call to exercise the right to VOTE
the call for political participation, will be heard
and needed only by the most intelligent, the most
responsible, and most able Negro citizens of the
state, among whom the controlling desire, as
regard the right to vote and political participation
is to be able to join with the best white people,
the question of Indignation and segregation not
outstanding to do what is best for the betterment
of race relations, and for the future progress of
the state.
The most intelligent and most responsible Ne
gro citizens of the state, while moved by the chal-
lenge of Mr.. Emmerich's editorial on the subject
are well aware of where, and with whom the real
power es and despite the current activities of Ne
gro Civil Rights groups and of the Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States, the real challenge is to
the more responsible and influential white lead
ership of the state who and understand that
the purely negative approach is contributing little
or nothing to better race relations to the future
development of the state, and to the kind of posture
that the nation needs before the eyes of other peo
Piles throughout the rest of the world.

a nine-foot cord found near the
statue might have been used to
set off the charge.
The explosion blew the feet
off the statue. The plate on
which the statue rests was shift

crete foundation.
The statue, cast in bronze
from an original sculpture by
an Italian, cataudello, was
erected in the gardens before

Ghana became independent.
The explosions occurred five
days before Queen Elizabeth IL

A statement issued by Presi-

the explosion by implication

comment by the Interior Min

someone wanted to give Accra

Both had appealed on grounds
of errors in their trials, which
were transferred from Pamela

Cured to Coahoma county at
the request of the defendants.
Chief Justice Harvey Mcehee,
who wrote the opinion in Cooks
case, noted that Circuit Judge
Curtis Swango, who heard the
case, "saw to it that every legal
right of the accused was pro-
tected. 1t is rare that a record
in a capital case is as free of
error as is this case. We find
no person whatsoever for dis

Justice John Kyle wrote the
opinion in the Lee case and
ruled there were no reversible
errors. All other justices con-
Cured in both cases.
Lee and Cook were among
three Negro convicts who es-
capped from the state peniten-
tiary at Farchman and made
their way to the home of the
woman near Batesville.
Testimony showed that Willie
Foreman, the third man in the
group, accosted the woman as
she worked in the garden and.
a gun in his hand and knife in
his mouth ordered her into the
house. She was tied to the bed
and her three children were
locked in the closet.
The woman testified Foreman
caught Cook trying to assault
the woman and made him quit.

there for"
Foreman told her they wanted
only food, clothing and her car.
While he was getting her car,
she said, Cook attacked her,
then Lee and then Cook again.
The three were caught a short
time later after wrecking the
car.
The high court held that she
had seen the Negroes for 80
minutes before she was blind
folded and heard them talk, and
that voice Identification of her
attackers was direct evidence
for the jury to decide.
The court also overruled OBJ
jections to the introduction as
