Harris was flogged unmerciful ly and was left for dead; Jones’ mutilated body was found the next day, however, Harris who nad feigned death, fled from the town and after a cross-country chase, finally made his way to the NAACP office in New York. NAACP investigators went to the scene of the lynching, inter viewed officials of the Parish and Negro witnesses of the town and learned the names of those per sons who lynchd Jones. These names were turned over to the Department of Justice and the ar rest of six white men, including deputy sheriffs and a police, fol lowed. Arrested in connection with the lynching were Benjamin Gantt, Minden police chief; Deputy Sher iff Oscar Henry Haynes, —r., son of Sheriff Haynes; Deputy Sher iff Charles M. Edwards; Samuel Clinton Maddry. Sr.; William Drayton “Slim” Perkins and Hen ry Edwards Perry. With the exception of Gantt, all were indicted and brought to trial in United States District Court here on February 24, 1947. At the close of a trial which lasted almost a week, the five white men wre' acquitted despite the fact that the youth they had Cog ged and left for dead identified them as mob members. Feeling against Mrs. -Tones. ] widow of the lynched man. caused her to leave her home in Cotton Valley and move to Shreveport thnee to California. FACTS ABOUT BEER TARIFF AND TEMPERANCE IN 1789 Tariff problems occupied the minds of the First U. S. CongreS3, meeting in New York City, just as they do in Washington in mod ern times. On April 15, 1789. with the Con gress just a week old, tariff was tied in with temperance as Con gressmen. including James Madi son of Virginia and Thomas Fitz simmons of Pennsylvania, urged a high tariff to encourage the domestic production ef malt bev erage as an aid to moderation. Fitzsimmons, according to Gales and Seaton’s History of Debatee in Congress, contended that "if the morals of the people were to be improved by what entered their diet, it would be prudent in tl^ national legislature to encour age the manufacture of malt liq uors. The small protecting duties laid in Pennsylvania had a great effect towards the establishment of breweries; they no longer im ported this article, but. on the con trary, exported considerable quantities, and in two or three years, with the fostering aid of Government, would be able to furnish enough for the whole con sumption of the United States. He moved 9 cents per gallon.1’ “Mr. Madison,” continued the account, “moved to lay an impost of 8 cents on all beer imported. He did not think the sum would give a monopoly, but hoped it would be such an encourage ment as to induce the manufac ture to take deep root in every State in the Union.” Mr. Madison, later to become our fourth President, was only one of our Founding Fathers who sought by legislation and other means to encourage the develop, ment df the American brewing industry as an aid to moderation and temperance among the people Their intellectual descendants of today also know that encourage ment of the production and co sumption of a beverage of mod eration is one sure Way of pro moting temperance and there after our best national interests.

The youth told the sheriff he had tried to capture Thomas and when “he tried to run into a house. I let him have it.” A coroner’B jury last Thursday termed the shooting a “justifiable homicide” saying Thompson had "acted in self defense” because the Negro was running in a house where there were two butchcr knives, a loaded shotgun and rifle and a hatchet. The NAACP learned from a re liable source, however, that Thomas had been an employe^ of Z.. W. Fuller, who owns a farm near Calhoun. Thomas is said to have asked his pay in wages on Saturday. The employer is said to have refused, telling Thomas otreport for work as usual on Monday. Thomas did not report for work on Monday but went To work for another farmer Instead. Informants told the NAACP that Fuller is alleged to have started out to form a mob but finding it difficult, resorted to a nother course. Unconfirmed rum. j ors were to the effect that a Ne i gro man was offered $50 to kill , Thomas. In the other case, Versie John son a 34-year-old r&pp Suspect, was shot and killed at Prentiss Miss., after being taken to the scene of the alleged crime. Sher iff G. O. Barry and two state pol icemen, Andy Hopkins and J. Spencer Puckett. Shot Johnson to death whPn he is alleged to have grabbbed for Puckett’s gun. A determined mob' was reported to have given Sheriff Barry eight hours to get a confession out of Johnson”. The district attorney said the filing of charges against the officers would be merely for mality and hearing would be made to "clear the white men". The fatal shooting of Elijah My les in New Orleans also resulted in a no-true bill being returned desoite the testimony of doctors and witnesses that Ferdinand Mo hr. white city employee, had shot Myles in the back.
