MISSISSIPPI MOB
BUKNS NEGRO; PUT
BODY ON DUMP
Rolling Forks, Miss., July 22
(ANP)—Seven days after leaders
praised the South for getting
through the first six months of
1938 without a lynching, the
first time this has happened since
1882, v. mob of 300 slew a Negro
blacksmith in a fifteen minute
gun battle, set hN body afire,
then carried in to the city dump
where he was burned again.
Tom Green, 48, was slain in a
sharecropper’s cabin after he had
shot and killed his employer, D.
Purdy Flanagan, a white planter,
in an argument ever ownership
of a rifle. Flanagan drove away
in his car and returned. As he
reached in the bjick seat for a
shotgun, Green fired a pistol,
killing the planter
Within a half hour, 300 men led
by Shcrriff M. C. Ewing, formed
a, posse and surrounded the shack
where Green had fled Green hell
them off for a while with a pist
ol, shotgun, and rifle. A few min
utes, L. H. Harris, a planter,
rushed in the door and blew
Green's head off with a riot gun.
Members of the mob dragged
the dead man’s body from his
gp.bin and to the spot where Flan- 1
agan was killed, doused it in gas
oline and applied a torch. Later
tho body was tied behind an auto
mobile and dragged sever?,1 mdes
into town where it was taken to
the city dump and fired again.
JACOBS CONVINCED I,Ol!IS
WON’T- FIGHT UNTIL 39
Chicago July 20 (ANP—Mike
Jacobs seems to have finnaly be
come convinced that John Rox
borought and Julian Black meant
it June 30 when they said Joe
Louis would not defend his heavy
weight title any more this year.
I>ast week Joe made a hurried'
trip by plane to New York and
talked to Jacobs, then flew back
here next day. I/mis is understood
to have said that he was ready
and willing to fight anybody any
time, but Mike would have to see
his managers.
Thursday Julian talked by tele
phone to the boving promoter and
reiterated his statement that they
didn’t care to have Louis fight a
gain during 1938.
Roxborough said, “lie has de
fended the championship three
times this year, and we feel he
deserves a rest, Mike want to ar
range a Max Baer-Louis contest
in Chicago hr New York for Sep
tember, but we believe such a
match would he a bigger attract
ion in San Franciso next April.
Jacobs seemd satisified with this
plan.”
Thursday night in the interna
tional auameur bouts between the
champions of Irelard and a team
representing tho Catholic Youth
Organization of Chicago, I.ouin
appeared ns a guest in one bout
and drew a mighty ovation from
the crowd. The two whote boxers
when he entered, stared at him
with mouths open in awesome
wonder.
The champion left Friday for
Hint, Mich, to rtforee a series of
amateur cortosts that nigh; and
night md ev i-ct.i g went to To

Twenty-four former tenants re

purchased farms during he thnlf
year’s operation of the new pro

June 30. These loans were made
in the five Nebraska counties de
signated last winter for 1st year

mounted to $197,105 based on the

gress for the entire country, ami
apportioned to the various sta’es
according to farm prsnilntion nn !
prevelenece of tenancy. All but
$905.90 of Nebraska’s allocation

designated, Green said. The nnw
counties will be entitled to nine

counties- A larger number cf
loans per county lowers adrmn’s

SOUTH'S NEGRO POPULATION
DECREASING
Washington, July 22, (ANP)
The proportion of Negroes in
most Southern cities is decreas
ing the national active resources
committee reported Tuesday, add
ing that the Northward migra
tion has been almost entirely to
large urban centers.
The committee in its annual
report also cited a new charact
eristic of the South: “Rapid re
duction in reproductive tendency
among both whites and Negroes,
with decreases in net fertility be
tween 20 and 40 per cent in most
of the Southern states.”
The committee said this was
due to the increase in urbanism—
the spread through these groups
of the lower birth rate pattern
which was already widespread in
most other parts of the United
States.
