DR.. Ct. A. Teunisson, of Monticello,
State Senator for Lincoln and Law
renee, was in town Saturday and hon
ored THE LEADER with a friendly call.
The Doctor said that very erro-
neous impression had been made
about Lawrence county by some of
the reports which had gotten into
print He said that so far as White
Caps are concerned, he is confident
dent there are but the smallest mum
Der in the county. He did not think
there was the slightest foundation in
fact for the idea that an attempt
would be made to prevent the holding
of the August term of Court. or to in
terfere IN any way with its orderly
procedure: but if there should he it
would be put down with a strong and
resolute hand by the good. law abiding
citizens of Lawrence, who intended to
attend court in force, prepared to rem
der the court and its officers any as
Sistance necessary i'll enforcing the law
against all classes of criminals

sonic Lodge. The shooting took place

The deceased was an honest, hard
working man. highly esteemed by his
neighbors, and if he had an enemy nc
one knew it. There is no clue to the
assassin. The coroner is Investigating

ANOTHER CHICAGO HORROR

Another terrible chapter has been
added to Chicago'S frightful fire rec
ord On the 10th inst, the cold-stor
age warehouse and skating rink, 10y
comparison one of the smallest build
ings Oh the Exposition grounds, was
consumed by fire, and 10000 Mortified
spectators witnessed the awful doom
of near two score brave firemen, who
at the first signal had rushed up the
huge shaft surrounding the smoke
stack. and from that awful pinnacle
100 feet above ground they met Their
death. as the cruel flames entrapped
and held them until. one by one, they
dropped into the seething cauldron be
meath them, or leaped to their doom
in the agony of their last frenzied mo-
ments. Thirty or forty barrels of lin
seed oil. stored in the building. added
to the intensity and rapidity of the
conilagration, and only favorable
winds prevented communication to the
other Worlds Fair buildings.

4 "ISIIND" EDITOR.

The BroOkhayen LEADER in a lengthy
article last week attempted to show
that BroOkhaven was enc of the most
temperate and prosperous towns i'll the
State. and said Prohibition was the
cause of it. But not word did 1t say
about its "bHHd tycJs." DeifG Fog
1t is presumed the Flag refers to the
article signed by the chief officials and
many of the best known business men
of Brookhaven. showing Brookhaven's
continued growth and progress under
Prohibition, as The LEADER has not
published editorially amy such article
as the one described. If this be true,
the editor of the Flag either hasn't
read the article he essays 20 criticise.
or else he has IL very careless way of
! handling the truth As matter of
fact it did refer to the subject of
, "blind tigcrS;' and again, while it
showed BroOkhavCn to be one of the
most prosperous and growing towns
in Mississippi. it did not allege that
Prohibition was the cause of it. "
| The article was intended. primarily. to
dissipate the false idea held by the ed
! itor of the Flag and others like him.
that Prohibition kills town. destroys
its business and growth and makes it
the habitat of bats and owls. Simple
facts were given, and if the article read
like a panegyric on Prohibition, it was
because the facts stated made it So
We are the more surprised at what
the Flag says because we wrote It's ed
itOr personal letter requesting him
to read the article and in common fair
ness give the facts for the informa-
ton of his readers. many of whom
are soon to vote on the saloon ques-
ton. 1t seems he has done neither,
or, if he did read it. it suits him bet
ter to discredit it by resorting to
downright Misrepresentation.
