DIED AT HIS POST OF DUTY.

The editor of the Clarion
Ledger has lead with sadness and
sorrow of the killing of Iijah
Forsythe, while in the discharge
of his duty as night watchman, by
a drunken man at Brookhaven a
few nights ago-kilIed at his post
of duty, while attempting to pre-
serve the peace and maintain order
in his city.
The particulars Of this dread
full tragedy, by which two men
lost their lives, have already been
given to the public, and it is not
the purpose of the writer to detail
them again, but to speak word
of praise for his old friend For
sytbe, whom he has known for
over quarter of a century, and
who had worked for him in the
days of his youth.
He was a brave, manly fellow,
honest, sincere and upright, faith
full always, and had within him
the metal of which heroes are
made. He had many friends and,
considering his thankless task, few
enemies; less than most men,
similarly situated, would have.
As evidence of the esteem in which
he was held and as tribute to his
heroism, the people of his home
town gave him one of the largest
funerals known within the history
of the place. CIarion-Ledger,

Lively Runaway.

Wednesday evening about dark
the team of Hackman Deacon be-
came frightened at passing train
as it pulled into the depot, and
started on a run down Front
street toward Cherokee. One of
the horse's brides had broken
and the driver could not control
them. In front of the Price Drug
Store, they ian into the buggy
and horse of Frank Herring and
knocked the top off, and taking
shal p turn, broke the tongue out
of the hack, tore loose and went
.scampering across the railroad
crossing Just ahead of he big mo-
gul engine which was pulling the
cannon ball. Mr.. Herring
horse was badly frightened by
the melee and tore off up the
street towards PERKINS, corner, at
lightning express speed with what
was left of the buggy clinging to
him. Fortunately no damage
was done except to the vehicles.

TIME TO ACT.

The words of Rev. G. W. Girls,
Ter, the able and eloquent pastor
of the Methodist church of this
city, in today's Leader, are time
" and worthy of the serious at
tention Of every law abiding citi-
zen of the community. The spir-
it of disregard for law which has
been manifesting itself of late, in
nearly every form from vagrancy
to. murder, and which eliminated
IN two recent attempts to murder
officers while in the discharge of
their duty, and the actual murder
of third, must be met and dealt
with as the situation demands Ey
those who believe in law and or
der and the preservation of public
morals, the due protection of life
and property and the good name
of the community.
1t can be done. Let every good
citizen resolve to do his duty and
it will be done.

Law ENFORCEMENT.

The terrible tragedy of Sun day
night, in which a useful officer lost
bis life, is one among many other
evidences that there is spirit OF
lawlessness among us that demands
prompt and heroic attention by
the good citizens of Brookhaven.
Fhe enforcement of the law and
the suppression of crime is far
more important question than that
o paterial prosperity, for it is
the larger question including all
Other civic interests.
We have reached the point
where fragrant lawlessness walks
our streets unrebuked and un-
abashed. With the constant and
almost defiant sale of blind tiger
whisky by the criminal class of
our own town and with much
eqaally bad stuff shipped in daily
fiom other points, it is no longer
prudent and often not safe fer our
wives and children to be on the
streets on Saturdays or after
dark.
There is no reason why our law
abiding people should submit to
such things. There is no use try
ing to dodge the involvement of
the private citizen in the respon-
slbllity of enforcing the laws of
our State against the vicious and
criminal by saying this is the off
GERS duty. There are not enough
officers, however fearless and con-
scientious, in the county to en-
force any law without the stim-
ulus of public sentiment and
popular support. Crime will de-
crease and lawlessness disappear
in ratio to the practical support
given the officer by the private
citizen. And he who repudiates
this responsibility by claiming it
is no concern of his, is unworthy
of place among our honored citi-
zenship. The impartial and rigid
enforcement of law is the bust
ness of every true man. The
protection of life, the security of
property and the enforcement of
virtue, are in the hands of the
real men of Brookhaven. How
long will they submit to being
bound to the rock by lawlessness
to be preyed upon by the vul-
tures of erime9 Will our good
citizenship be equal to the duty
OF forcing bad men to obey our
laws and respect our lights?
Will they give the proper sup
port to our officers in the en-
forcement of law? We believe
they can be depended upon to do
their whole duty in this important
matter.
Therefore, as a citizen of Brook
haven, the writer takes this oppor-
tunity of offering his services to
our 0 fficels and those in authority
to do anything that any other
citizen should be called upon to
do toward purifying our city of
crime and lawiessness.
