of spying on a white woman.
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.

New Lynching —

fatally shot Wesley Thomas about
three hours later, had left home
shortly before the shooting, arm
ed with a .38 caliber revolver “to
search for a lost hog,” the sheriff
said.
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.
