Negro Press Ass'n
To Handle Texas
GOP Publicity
BEAUMONT, Texas — A half
centnry old custom of rugged
individualism was scrapped, at
least for this national election
year, by Texas Negro newspaper
publishers when it was decided
by men who control these organs,
so vital to the success of political
parties, that all publicity In con-
nection with the Republican ac-
tivities in the state of interest
to Negroes voters would be hand-
led through the central channel
of the Texas Negro Press asso-
ciation.
Tills conclusion was reached as
a result ot a militant fight in the
Interest of all Negro publications
in Texas led by the association's
young president, B. M. Jackson,
who was a delegate from Galveston
county to the state Republican
convention held here, last week.
"For more than a decade," Jack
son said "one or two editprs have
been successful in gaining complete
control of all publicity to be re-
leased in the interest of the party
each national election year, and
have denied other publishers valu
able information concerning cam-
paign matters of great interest to
their readers, thus curtailing the
support and interest of publishers
in national election matters."
Jackson Intimated that the Repub-
lican party in Texas could only
receive the full support of the
Texas Negro voters through Its
contact with them through tbe
various Texas Negro newspapers
nnd that If an appropriation Is to
be made for tbe purpose of carry-
ing on a campaign In the interest
of the pnrty through the columns
of newspapers that such should
be made through the proper chan-
nels of newspaper organizations
in order to Insure equal distribu-

In Stream-Lined, Hushed-
Up Mob Atrocity
TVfEW YORK, N. Y.—The vulture-picked body of 27-year-
' .old Jesse Thornton, fished out of the Pataylagga river
near Luverne, the county seat of Orenshaw county, Alabama,
not far from Tuskegee institute, was the answer given by the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
to Senate Majority Leader Alben Berkley's continued refusal
to bring up the federal anti-lynching bill, because the con-
sideration of defense measures
"are more important'' at this time.
The body was found June 28.
The death of Thornton, wbn
was lynched by a police-led mob
because be had "forgotten" to- re-

ticated lynching this year in-
vestigated by the association. In-
vestigation of three unconfirmed
lynchings—one In Mississippi, and
two in Louisiana—has been ham-

The lynching of Thornton, one of
the most brutal in this section, Is

and made public by the association

Dr. C. Austin Whittier, well
known San Antonio physician, was,
according to reports from Hous-
ton, one of the most active fig-
ures at the annual convention of
the National Medical association
rested him and marched him off!which met In the Bayou City, last
bama, that lynching happened at
Luverne, the county scat of Cren-
shaw county.
Luverne Is a typical southern
town in the heart of a farming
district only a abort distance from
Tuskegee Institute. There the
farmers gather In the city on Sat-
urdays In large numbers to barter
and trade. The Inhabitants of tbe
little town gather in public places
for one reason or the other to talk.
On June 22, Jesse Thornton, a
farm worker, about 27 years old,
went downtown to a Negro barber
shop. Regarded as a reliable
worker, who would fight anybody
if imposed upon, he bad been liv-
ings in the community for the past
five years with his wife. He was
the manager of a chicken farm.
He and his wife attended the Ne-
gro community church.
As he and a number of his
friends stood in front of the barber
shop, a police officer came along.
Thornton said to his friends, with
whom ho was talking, "There
comes Doris Rhodes, boys." The
police officer, overhearing the re-
mark, turned and said, "What did
you say?'"
Thornton, not thinking that he
had been overheard, hesitated in
his reply, and tried to recant and
say that he had referred to "Mr.
Rhodes." The officer, using an
to tb .tall.
Near the Jail door, Thornton
almost succeeded in getting away
when be was stoned by bystanders
"who were already forming a mob.
As he made a second attempt to
escap# from the officer, and a
buddy of Rhodes, named Noland
ElUunvlio were now leading a
rapidly forming mob, five shots
were ilrod at him.
Thornton kept going however,
running about three quarters of a
mile Into a field before he became
so cxjiaukted from tbe loss of

lllmlHPW' his handkrrchle! to
mop tie blood from his face. He
attempted to move on as the mob
gained on him and finally gave
up in sheer exhaustion, when the
mob overtook him.
The,-mob brought up a small
truck, shoved him into it, and
carried lilm to a "dead end" street
in the town. They dragged him
out and carried him some paces
into a swamp. Shortly shots were
heard.
Members of the mob returned
from the wooded section near the
swamp, The whole thing had not
taken more than 25 minutes.
Jesse Thornton did not come out.
Members of the mob now went
to the city hall where they talk-
ed with Mayor T. McKiug. They
went to the barber shop, learned
where Thornton lived, and then
went to his home where they
asked his wife where Thornton
was, a- if they did not know.
8he t"Id them that her husband
had g< n11 to town. They disputed
week.
Dr. Whittier was one of the
leading candidates for president-
elect of the national body, with
his losing, in the final runoff, to
Dr. H. E. Lee, of Houston.
Dr. Lee had a decided ad-
vantage in that the convention
was In his home city, and
emphasis was placed on the
fact that, because of Dr. Lfe's
advancing age, he should be
honored with the presidency-
