TOO MUCH LAWLESSNESS.

In response to an appeal circulated
by the Ministerial Union of Louisville,
from majority of Kentucky pulpits
last Sunday sermons were preached In
depreciation Of lawlessness. Other
sections of the South are in need of
similar admonition, and a lot of 1t.
In our own part of the country con-
siderable newspaper space is taken up
every day with narratives of bloody
deeds. Murder has become common.
Human life is held too cheaply. There
is scarcely a day passes but in some
part of Georgia a homicide is commit
ted, and often the day is blotthed with
the blood of several tragedies. The
ever-ready pocket pistol and the MINI
pie and no less murderous knife are
constantly busy.
Nor are the crimes of violence con-
fined to one race, though the majority
of them are committed by negroes
During the past few days we have
had reports of atrocious murders in
Coffee county, where two white men
fired on a party of colored dancers
killing two and wounding several and
in Dodge county, where a white man
killed his wife with an ak. Other
tragedies might be mentioned, but
these two are fresh in the public mind
and will do for tfV purpose of illustra-
ton. And meanwhile the negroes
have been flendishly busy at similar
work, killing each other as well as
white people. A lamentable feature in
connection with this carnival of crimes
of violence Is the fact that it seems
to be becoming more and more diff
ficult to secure the rigid enforcement
of the law against such crimes.
Public opinion must be aroused
against this condition of affairs. The
public conscience must be brought to
a realization that only in an observ-
ance of law is public safety to be
found. And the pulpit must lend its
aid to this work. Particularly is this
true of the colored pulpit. The negro
is not n reader of newspapers or
magazines. He gets his literature as
we'll as his theology through the
medium of the pulpit. His preacher
can reach him when other means fail.
If they will consult the best interest
of their race. therefore, and of the
public as we'll, the colored preachers
will thunder against lawlessness;
against vagrancy, gambling, drunken
ness. pistol-toting, lust and murder.

the southern part of the city,
after a lingering illness of can
Ger of the stomach. Several of
his children were at his bedside
the last few weeks. He was
born near Perry, Jan. %, 1926,
and spent all of his life in Rails
and Monroe counties. He was
married to Mrs. Crawford in
1850. OF that union four daugh.
tiers survive. In 1869 he was
united IN marriage to his pres.

union five children survive, one
son and four daughters. He
united with the Bethlehem Bap-
fist church in 1872 during the
pastorate of Rev.B. F.. Hixson.
Although not a very active
christian, his life was model
of patience. kindn ess and love.
None who came to him were
turned away; the poor and
needy always found help at his
hands. He showed kindness to
all living things. These, coup

Leaving our family sad and alone.

And that is a balm for our sorrow

meet him there.

while we wait,
For we feel he is reckoning at Hcav-
