When man has taken the life

It's broad aegis over him, and

tie knows that if he does not pro-
tect his prisoner he will be ac-
counted as unfit to occupy the
position to which he has been
called by the people.
In the late deplorable tragedy
when this community was de-
prlved Of one of its purest and
best citizens, the slayer, culpable
as he may have been, became a
prisoner, and the law demanded
that his life be protected.
This communication has been
written because we have heard
so many comments, pro and con,
upon the action of Mr.. w. l.. !
Harrison, who, fearing danger,
removed his prisoner to a place
Of security. Instead OF con-
demning him for this perform
ance of his duty he should be
very highly commended. Sol

SHOT HER HUSBAND
Sensation Caused in CIarksdaIe by Act of
Woman.

A special from CIarksdale saws:
Guy Clark, one Of Clarksdale's
most prominent citizens, was shot
and seriously wounded by his
wife at their residence here last
Saturday evening. The affair has
caused a profound sensation on
account of the social prominence
OF the parties and the circum-
stances which provoked the wife
to attempt murder.
Mr.. Clark is well-known hard
ware merchant. About five O clock
Saturday evening he left his store
for home, and upon arriving at
the residence, it is reported, found
that supper Was not ready and
commenced to abuse his wife. Hot
words were exchanged, culmlnat-
ing in the husband slapping his
wife. Two of Mrs. CIark,s sisters
who were present interfered and
they were also roughly handled.
At this juncture Mrs. Clark STEP
ped into an adjoining room, seized
a revolver, and upon returning
fired upon her husband. The bull
let found lodgment in Mr.. Clark's
breast, inficting serious wound.

CHARGED WITH LIBEL
Abe Stenberser viii Sue Jackson
Editors.

There will be at least one libel
suit charged up to the fierce con.
test for governor. Editor Abe
Steinberger, of Okolona, has al
ready filed affidavits against r.
Ii. Henry, of the Jackson Clarion
Ledger, and f. L. Bellinger, OF
the jackson News for alleged de.
famation of character.
Steinberger came to this state
from Kansas about three years
ago. He bought Frank Burkitt's S
paper, The Peoples Messenger,
and also purchased the Sun at
Okolona. He continued to issue
the two papers and has taken a
very active part in the present
campaign, being a warm supper
ter of Vardaman. About two
weeks ago both his papers con,
tanned an editorial charging Critz
with attempting to buy his way
into the governors office. In
this article he challenged Judge
Critz or his friends to sue him
for libel, saying he was ready to
prove every charge made.
Critz S reply was a denunciation
OF Steinberger, and. the West
Point Times-Herald came to the
assistance of the former and pub
lished an article abusing the Oko.
Iona editor. The Jackson papers
republished this and il is upon
this that Steinberger bases his
suit.
Below we publish the Times
Herald's editorial. Under the
"Who Steinberger Is,'
the Times-Herald says:
No one knows exactly. From
his acts we can only infer what he
IS. Immediately after he came
to Mississippi he was sent as a
delegate to the populite presiden-
.ial convention at Cincinnati and
,old the populite secrets to the
republicans for $4,000. With
his amount of money he got hold

My thing that would reach him.

MOB LAW
Subversive Of All the Laws Of Civilized
Society.


We are opposed to mob law or
lynching except for one fragrant,
atrocious, and objectionable
crime, because 1t is violative of
the commandment of God, con-
trary to the ethics of christianity.
subversive of all law, and produ-
ces a state of anarchy. The de-
i priving man of life is one of the
greatest of all crimes, and when
one has imbrued his, hands in
the blood of his fellow man it is
no less an offense against society,
against the teachings of Christ,
against law, and against good
government for the many to take
the life of that man.
SO long as we have courts and
so long as the law is potent to
abridge crime and punish those
who violate its mandates, there
can be no necessity for the lille
gal execution of the culprit. Two
wrongs do not make one right.
1t one man Wilfully and malicious
~ kills fellow-man, thus de-
priving the community of one of
it's best citizens, it would not les
sen but rather increase the iniu-
ry done against the peace Of the
community for many to take the
law into their hands and execute
the offender, nor would they be-
cause of their number be any less
culpable than he who committed
the first offence.
There is another phase of this
subject that should be brought
10 the attention and careful con-
sideration Of all lovers of law and
order. and that is the evil effect it
has upon the young. We seldom
find the older, staid citizen. men
of character and standing, among
those who form the "neck- tie
party" except it be when the
sanctity of the home has been in
vaded and it's idol despoiled of
that which life holds most dear.
but, on the contrary, such par
ties are composed of the young
and thoughtless, good men, it is Il
true, but of tender consclences,
who, after participating in sever
al lynchings, become Injured and
hardened, and then the life of no !,
citizen is safe.
No man becomes a drunkard
when he has taken one drink of ;
whiskey, but it is the oft-repeated
act that does the mischief. So it
is in these acts of Iynchings. The
conscience becomes scared, they
continue to take life until these
meek tie parties become to them

New York. July 17-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Well nigh perfect summer weather

for many staples are really an en-
couraging development because favor
able 10 a wider and freer use of prod
ucts heretofore impracticable under
past abnormal conditions. Six months
railway earnings returns, two-thirds
of the country's mileage represented
snow a gain of over 10 per cent over
the best ever recorded. while roads
thus far reporting for the first week
of July show gain of nearly l6 per
cent. These figures confirm the claim
that present business is the largest
ever handled for midsummer period.
The salient features in trade reports
this week are the better tone of adj
vices from the Southwest, where the
feeling grows that a large business
will be done. The unsatisfactory out
look for immediate and future sup
plies of cotton limits activity in cotton
manufacturing at the East. short time
