Glasgow's Ambitious Constable.

Sheriff Veatch received a
telephone message Monday from
Constable James Lewis at Glas.
gov, asking him to arrest Ben
Crawley, who was wanted in
that town to answer to the
charge of assault with intent to
kill. Mr.. Veatch arrested
Crawley and held him until the
Glasgow officer arrived. On his
way to Keytesville the Howard
county official gathered in two
prisoners whom he turned over
to Mr.. Veatch. The two latter
victims were Tobe Brown and
daughter, whom Lewis said were
fighting when he passed their
home about three miles southeast
of town. It is something unusual
for q constable in one county to
arrest peace disturbers in
another county, but Mr.. Lewis
was probably obeying the good
old Democratic rule, ''when you
find a culprit, nail him. Mr..
Veatch turned his capture over
to the Howard county official,
but having no warrant to hold
Brown and daughter, he sent
them home, after giving them
one of his characteristic lectures.
The crime for which Crawley is
wanted at Glasgow is the result
of a fight with another man,
whom he slashed with a knife,
seriously wounding him.

70 OUR PATRONS.

Have you paid your subscrlp-
ton this year ? Perhaps you owe
for last year, or for several years.
Now, you understand, we don't
need money, We have thousands
to get. But it is really an inn
position to let people 60 on carry
ing our money when we are strong
and healthy. and so abundantly
able to bear the burden ourselves.
For this reason we ask anybody
who has any of our money in his
possession to leave it at the office,
or send it by post. freight tram,
express, or any other way, just so
it gets here. Silver and gold are
heavy, and it.would be a matter
of lifelong regret if anyone
should become tired carrying it
about for US.
But seriously. we have many
names on our list that are
behind with us from one to two
years. Now, we have waited
patiently without "dunning' and
now that we are in the midst Of a
season of prosperity, when all
mankind is feeling good, and
wishing his fellow creatures hap
piness, etc., we would be glad if
you would call in and strengthen
| up these back accounts, and II
you can do so, pay for the paper
|. in advance for the new year. Ii
you do this, we will be able tt
give you better paper than WE
can do if we are to send it or
credit.

ON DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Justice Expresses Himself on
the Question.

Wyatt, La, Dec. Is. 1908.
Editor Sentinel:
! see by last weeks Sentinel
that you give room for CORE
spondents to express themselves
ON the different candidates in the
compaign and l would be glad if
you would give me space to say a
few words concerning the candi-
tlacy for the district attorneys
Office.
In this connection, l would like
to cali attention to the good work
that has been done in that office
during the past two years. About
two years ago the railroad came
through here and as a matter -of
course, lawlessness came with 1t.
But tho greatest curse we have
had to contend with is the blind
tiger, and l am proud to say that
that curse IS growing less. MIR.
Hundley has done good work
along this line. Numbers of blind
tigers have been brought to JUS
tice through his efforts, and at no
other time since the coming of the
railroad has our community been
frcer from this curse than at
present, and / hear the same from
other places along this railroad
where Mr.. Hundley has authority
to uphold the law.
Fellow citizens, he has done
good for us in the past few years,
and has about rid our country of
one of its greatest curses, and
l feel like continuing him in
office so that he may keep up the
good work. Think this matter
over and let us keep a man in that
important Office who has been
tried there and who has shown
as that he will enforce the law.
Begging your pardon, MIR.
Editor, for troubling you with
this letter, and hoping that you
will be so kind as to give it space,
4 subscribe myself,
JUSTICE.

UNJUST CRITICISM.

The Sentinel has refrained
from commenting on the recent
decision of the Supreme Court
in the suit for damages of Pete
Warner against the citizens Of
Dodson, our neighboring town.
The Supreme Court raised the
amount awarded by the trial jury
from $500 to $4,000, and relieved
a number of the defendants from
the suit, rendering the Judgement
against only fifteen of the citizens.
whose names have already been
published, it not necessary to give
them here.
But what The Sentinel desires
to notice at this time is an article
which appeared in the Times
Democrat of Dec. 16. If we may
be pardoned for taking issue with
such a big paper on a question
like this, we would call the atten-
ton of the I'D. to the fact that
the people of Dodson are not
professional whitecaps; they are
not outlaws, dreaded by the entire
country; they are not a crowd of
bandits of which our law-abiding
people have tried TO rid the
country, but they are a class of
:citizens that any section might be
proud Of. This is not written in
justification of the actions of the
Dodson people on that occasion,
but to correct the impression that
the work was done BY lawless
element. They are among our
best citizens. They are not in the
habit of doing such acts. but
were confronted with a situation
on that occasion that needed to
be met. They believed they had
been treated wrongly and felt that
they were powerless to protect
themselves aud property with the
law. They took steps, not with
the intention of lnjuring any per-
son, but simply to rid their COM
NUDITY of what they thought to
be lawless characters. Had they
desired to do harm to the indi-
viduals now suing them for dam
ages they could have done so.
They got into the proceeding and
carried it \ little too far,
and are now made to suffer for it,
when their intentions were not,
IS . whole, to do persona1 injury
to any one. Some members of
the company may have wanted to.
do personal harm, but IS : whOle,
NJ harm was intended.

brew, and when this has boiled he
pours into it enough of the fragrant
herb to produce 4 deep. coffee colored

On Monday. without removing yes
tcrday'S tea leaves he repeats the proc

pot is filled with an acrid mash of tea
leaves. out of which the liquor is
squeezed by the pressure of tin cup.
BY this time the tea is of the color of
rusty iron. incredibly bitter and disa-
greeable to the uneducated palate. The
native calls it real good old post and

from a stiff and dangerous jump. and
regards it as having been brought to
