A DISGRACE TO TAE SOUTH.

Two outlaws, two very bad
citizens of Coffee county have
disgraced themselves, their coun-
ty, and brought this section of
country into disrepute-have
branded-it by numbering several
negroes at festival near
Beaches Still on last Saturday
night, as a land of outlaws.
Possibly drunk they visited the
negro festival, which every South
ern white man who knows any
thing, understands is a breach of
etiquette universally recognized
by the two races in this partof the
south at least. No white man
should interfere with any social
function, entertainment or gath
ering of negroes. They natur-
ally resent the presence of a
white man at their balls and par.
ties and festivals, and these two
desperadoes no doubt UNDER
standing this sentiment went to
this festival with the avowed in
tention of disturbing the peace.
1t is not related just what pre-
coded the shooting but it seems
to be undisputed that they did,
in the most wanton and diaboli-
calmanner murder and wound the
negroes there assembled, block
ing the door each side of the
building with gun and pistol in
hand, firing scores of times into
the assembled negroes. 1t is
further related that they intimi-
dated the corners jury in it's in
quest on the dead bodies. If the
Coffee county officials allow these
two fellows to escape they should
be severely punished and sum-
mari1y dismissed from office.
Every good citizen of the. county
should make it his business to
see that thes desperadoes are not
only arrested and brought to
trial but that they are convicted
and hung.

The Enterprise is not a news
paper in the sense of printing
the news of the outside world.
The day is past in this country
when a weekly newspaper can
fill that office. Our country and
section is too far advanced; there
are too many people who read the
daily papers. All we can do in
that line is to present the most
startling occurrences and those
that have direct bearing in our
section and give important local
occurrences publicity and these
are the least important featul es
of the Enterprise; we think
more of the higher office,
that of creating a wholesome
public sentiment on matters
effecting the interest of our
neighbors and patrons. But it is
not amiss to give each week a
glance at recentoccurences ofim-
portance and we have adopted
the plan of utilizing in condensed
form a summary of the news as
published by one of the South's
great dailies the Constitution,
which for the past week is as
follows:
Our American sense of humor
has been tickled and our pride Of
power has been touch
ed by the weeks scene in diplo-
macy's amazing international

crisis the Legislative tilt of the
party in power against the bad
trusts, as opposed to the good
ones has largely occupied public
attention. Besides actually CONS
pleting one antitrust bill for the
enforcement of existing laws, the
republican majority has passed
the Elkins bill in the senate for
