sented the following resolution. which was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That mob law Is n lawless thing, an
enemy To good government, to good morals and
to the peace and prosperity OF any community
where 1t Is tolerated. In place OF administering
Justice il becomes "A cover TOR the venting of per
sonal malice. Whenever IL is tolerated a blow Is
struck at the very heart of society. Whoever en-
courages IL. by word act. is enemy of So
ciety. and should he branded with the
unmeasured condemnation or all good
citizens. Whoever actively shares in
its violent processes should be untiringly pur-
sued, apprehended and punished, that the law
may be upheld. The whipping OF Rev. b. T..
Nancleave a few weeks ago by n disguised party
in the dead OF night we denounce as utterly un-
justitiable, as brutal and cOwardly, a. an out
rage upon him. a defiance OF law and an assault
upon society. We call upon all good citizens to
assist the constituted authorities In detecting
and bringing 10 swift punishment the perpetra-
tors or this crime, together with their aiders and
abettOrs.
