has a reputation for lawlessness and
utter contempt and disregard for the

proach and a disgrace to the State.

public e%xecration every time q crime
is committed, all oblivious to the
fact that the juries IN Tangipahoa

in st. Mary they never do unless be

ey. If the New Orleans dailies
would turn the calcium light on the
criminal record of St. Mary that
proud parish would look like SO
cents. Here is the latest outrage as
detailed BY the indicator News:
1.-The Mayor should have ordered
the members comprising the mob,
who went to the house of Eliza Ran
kins, on Willow street, right in the
heart OF this town, on Saturday night
before 10 O'Clock and beat her and
her little daughter with sticks, and
bloke up and scattered her furniture
over the yard, brought before him fo1
trial. This is a mor serious offense
against the peace of Franklin than an
ordinary fist-ight between two men,
and should yet be severely dealt
Eith. White Gaping of such low
and degrading order, should be dealt
with harshly-we either have laws fol-
righting wrongs or we have not; il
we have nom then we think some
should be enacted. But the act OF
assembling drunken mobs for the per-
petFataon of high crimes, as a means
OF correcting the smallest evils, should
not be tolerated by this community,
neither should We depend upon the
District Court to punish the offense.
The reputation of Franklin, for res.
~pectibiiity, cannot be entrusted to
the keeping and maintenance of mobs,
especially such as entered the house
Of Eliza BankiHs last Saturday
night"

lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The current ecclesiastical
year must conclude the term of DR.. C.
". Carter, as presiding elder Of the
Crowley District we feel constrained
by genuine regard for his personal
qualities, anG by sincere appreciation
OF his services to make some expression
of vi regard. Therefore be it
Resolved i: That it is our. cohvic-
ton that the District has made solid
profit by the digniied and able admin
istrption and spiritual preaching Of our
presiding elder.
2. That the spiritual tone and char
acter of the work has been most happi-
~ and permanently affected by what
seems to have been an appointment
providentially designed for this period
of remarkable material prosperity in
Southwest Louisiana.
8. That our preachers and people
have been enriched in their aims and
social affections by the associations of
the past four years with DR.. Garter as
he has been in and out among us in the
regular discharge of his official duties.
4. That in the prospect Of a sever
ance. of the present official relation with
the presiding elder of the district we
shall cherish the privilege Of maintain
ing the brotherly love and personal
esteem that have grown during this
privileged period; and that we shall
follow DR.. Carter with our prayers for
his continued health and usefulness, at
the same time, requesting his continu-
ed lntercessions for ourselves and the
work of the Crowley District.
