The Summit Times ahd lnteili-
cencer learns Of what it terms an
Outrageous aud unwarraused at
tack" recently made upon Sarah
Q1iu a colorsi woman living on
Bagu, chitto in Pike county, BY an
~ nown party of white men, who
were heavily armed. When they
gained admittance, to her house they
made a search for some stolen pro-
perty, and failing to find it set about
beating the old woman, and when
her son, John Quin, attempted to
escap, he was fired IL Don and severe
" wounded in the leg and foot.
We are pleased to note that
Messrs. T.. d. Fcller, |. L Fielder, X.
4. Fielder. J. b. Fielder, w. L. Fielder
and D. C. Lea, living IN the COM
munity where the cowardly outrage
was perpetrated have promptly
spoken their disapprobation of the
aft ir in the following lines to the
Times and Intellig ,ncer to which
their names were duly signed:
1--WE, the undersigned, are opposed
to the lawless attack upon Sarah
Quiz (co'.) and family on the o. 5.
Parker placo, on Sunday night, the
IIth INST, and denounce the out
ragcous conduct in uameasured
terms"
It seems to US that the time has
arrived when the white men OF this
section of the State should under
stand that all.s ich exhibitions as the
above, SAVIOR only ofisnorance, pre-
iudice, brutality and lawles mess.
Negroes have some rights, if they
are negroes. By such acts, too, the
perpetrators not only display their
own bis. chara tiers in al their re-
pulsive dtfrmity, but at the same
time invite the condemnation of the
outside vol upon this whole SC
ton.
The Messrs. Fielder and Mr.. Lea
have taken the proper course in the
MATER. IL bchooves all good citi-
zens to exert them selves to break up
these baleful crimes, not only by
lending all possible assistance to-
ward 4 rigid enforcement of the law,
but by speaking out AMI d 'nouncing
the perpetrators and the hellish spirit
which prompts them.
Our people began to realize this
three or four years ago, and we are
glad to note that there las been q
marked improvement in this regard,
but an occasional demonstration like
the Pike county affair, shows that
South Mississippi is not yet free
from the presence of one Of the most
dis graceful and injurious phases of
crime with which she has ever been
cursed.
The bulldozer and mignieht MUIR
derer sho I'D be made scarce-al-
mighty scarce-ln this section for
ever, and if the people are true to
their best Interests, they will see that
it is so. We are glad to see our
neghb ,rs of Senti mel and 7 mes and
Intelli gencer have also taken the
right stand on this question.

From .sThe Tinlcs.n

Editor Times I'm reading the last num-
Der of your paper, l noticed yon asked all
who had been benefited by the letter pub
blished in your valuable paper about a
year ago. to write you the facts for publica
ton. The letter from DIR. Bates created a
great amount of excitement in this v;cini
ty, as he is well and favorably knowa bv
everybody here. His reputation as a man
and as aphysician gave everybody the ut
most confidence in all his statements. and
this of coulse soon made the name Ken
dall's SPAWN Cure' not only familiar but
very popular. In reply to your request. l
will say ; about nine years ago l slipped
on the ice and spraiped my right limb at
The knee joint. I was very lame andfsufer
ed excruciat;ng pain much of the time
sifce, and some of the tune
thought I should he a cripple for life.
DIR. Bates letter printed in your paper
gave me SO much confidence in the virsues
of Kendall's SPAWN Cure that tried it for
mykuee and less than one bottle complete
" cured ME so that l have had no return
of pain or 1ameress, for which, of course,
I cannot feel too thankful. Since my re-
covery I have visited friends in the West
and found that the following parties have
used it with the grandest results in that
part of the country: The Rev. John Rice,
Hematite, Mo-, used it on his own person
for an injury of IS years standing and per-
formed one of the most wonderful cures l
eve heard of. j. l.. Mcclure of Strong
City, Kansas, cured a badly lacerated and
poisoned hand, from a hog bite and also
removed al enlargement near the hip
joint which had become large and trouble
some. He also used it for pleurisy and
found that bathing his chest whit reliev-
ed him at once. To my surprise I found
that this wonderful remedy was better.
known in the West than it was in the East.
and l found that they were using it there
for animals as we'll as on human flesh with
the very best of results, and l find so many
cases wherever I go to confirm the favora
BILE opinion I had already formed of it that
! am glad of an opportunity of telling the
readers of your valuable paper what 1 have
learned in regard to it. Hoping to hear

ject, especially important to those who have

uncalled for. cowarily aud shame
full murders, that ever disg::aced
the annals of Louisiana.
Admitting all the pleas jenkins
seems to have gwen in Justification
Of his brutal deed, there is not a par
ticle of reason to justify him in the
execution of,his bloody deed.
And not only has be deliberate
ly, and cowardly shot to death one
Of his best and most intimate friends
without cause, but, in SO doing, he
has strove to phil down into the
depths of his jnfamy. the fair and
unsullied name Of an innocent girl
AS for his brother who Joined
him in this bloody murder, there is
no palliating circumstance that
can afford. him any justification
whatever. For the sake of them
selves and their families, and the
good name of the people of this
State, let US hope that when his
trial comes off, some justification
may be found for the commission
of so bloody an act.
