the re were no set speeches, a large nulhoef
of gentlemen, in brief addresses, gave 'hei'
views on the necessity of some ACTON 10 pro-
tect the community from the fearful raVageS
resulting from the sale Of intoxicating liquors
in our midst.
The prevailing sentiment seemed to he that
the laws and ordinances now existing were
sufficient to restrain, if not wholly suppress
the evil, if they could be enforced, ana that
In. difficulty Of enforcing them lay in the ao-
seuce of a sufficient public sentiment TO suS
tain those who should attempt to suppress
the evil. This, W e think, is about the posi-
tiop we are in. We have justices of the
paacc, and courts, and officers who Will 90

The meeting appointed a committee 10 pic

Church.. Let all good citizens attend lhiS
meeting, and see TO it, that whatever is done
IS done wisely. No good citizen desires Inc

cu,ion under the law, and II any plah ca"
he devised, by which the community can oe

or nothing to do with blightiRg the

TAXING IT CooLLY.-A traveller
relates the following:
Mr.. Barnes, wife and two children,
his niece snd aaother young lady, with
the writer, formed q party leaving
Memphis for Clarksville, Tennessee,
in the beginning Of the summer OF
1927. Arriving at Smithland, we
were compelled to take a smaller boat
on account of the extreme lowness of
the Cumberland River. Such was
found il the Nettje Miller, very nice
tile stern wheeler. View proceed
ing on our way rejoicing,when sudden
ly we were thrown out Of our nests and
brought up all standing in the middle
ofthe state-room. All the gentlemen.
rushel out in diShdbille to learn the
trouble, and were frankly told by tho
captain that the boat was badly snag-
ged, and would sink in a few minutesl
Mr.. Barnes flew with alarm to his
wife and the young ladies--seized his
children, deposited them safe in a
wood. boat, which the Nettie had in
tow, and ran back. Surprised not
to see any of the ladies out yet, ho
rushed to his wife's room, and found
her quietly washing her face aud
hands.
Why, my dear, the boat will sink in
less than three minutes"
SWELL" she replied, 81 thirk can
be out before that time"
Dragging. her along, he rushed
almost frantic with excitement, to the
young ladies' room, and found them
very quietly combing their hairl
"FOr heavens sake!" says he, ''yOOng
ladies, what do you mean3 The boat
will sinh 10 two minutes aud here you

"Why, uncle" says the niece, "you

Reading Out.

The Cleveland Leader, the organ
of the abolition, disunion Republi-
cans, reads the Cleveland Herald out
Of the party, and declares that it has
become democratic paper" The
dread offence of the Herald is its hav-
ing candidly admitted, that the master
of a fugitive slave had a right to his
reclamation under the constitution
and the law. 1t also declared, that
Republican officials might be trusted
to execute the laws as mach rs Dem
ocratic ones. This is manifestly un-
true. The Leader scouts the very
idea of suffering "cOlored citizen" !"
that is, runaway slave, to be arrest
ed under valid and legal process of the
United States. Hence it reads the
Herald out Of its party, and denoun-
ces the Reviea0, a neutral paper, which
has taken ground in favor of uphold
ing the Constitution and lhe laws
No such doctrine can be tolerated by
the Republicans. They are mostly in
favor OF resisting the United States
Officers by fanatical mobs, negro
equality, and persecution Of white
naturalized citizens. They are be-
ginning to avow the "Congo Creed"
again, as we always predicted they
would. The people, however, will
speedily rebuke the promoters Of these
disunion and negro equality doctrines.
