Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1901-09-13

Against the Bind Tigers.
The circuit court convened at the
court house in the town of Leakes-
vile in regular September term ON
September 9th, 10th and 18th inst. :,
with Judge J. H. Neville of Biloxi,
in the chair.
This is the first time that Judge
Neville had held court in Greene
ounty. His charge to the grand jury
was certainly splendid one thor
ough dissertation of the law, touch
ing particularly upon the matters
they would have to do with; vehe-
ment denunciation of the blind tiger
evil, carrying concealed weapons and
kindred law breaking; an appeal to
them as good citizens to see that the
mantle of the law be used in Greene
county for the protection of every
body and everybody's property; in
fact charge that will long be re-
membered by the hearers, and one
that will set on foot a move for
new order of things in this county.
The very fact that Greene county is
conceded to by its own citizens and
has notoriety abroad for lawlessness
and for harboring crime and crimi-
nails of all classes has done more than
any one thing else to retard its
growth and progress. Hon. Judge
Neville of course appears harsh in his
Judgment now, but our citizens must
take into consideration the fact that
nothing but harsh measures will ever
bring about better state of affairs.
Particularly did he instruct the
grand jury to look up the blind tiger
course in Lucedale and elsewhere
that it could be found in the county.
