THE AMERIcus LIGHT INFANTRY
Our Strong Right Arm Must BeUp
held,

Our Strong Right Arm Must BeUp
held.
The fact that the military company
here was ordered ont yesterday by
Gov. Terrell to preserve peace in an
other county IS to be regretted, that is,
the necessity for the call, particularly
in view of the fact that the company
had but just returned home.
Ten days in Virginia, at the national
encsmpment, casued the loss oil time
among the members, and this addl.
tional loss in the trip to Camilla was
qaite unexpected.
But they responded with alacrity and
marched to the front.
Many of the soldiers are employees in
stores and other places of business,
and these regret as much as do their
employers the call to which they re-
sponded, But such contingencies do
not arise often, and the best must be
made of it now.
There must be no DETECTION from
the ranks on the plea of business.
This strong right arm of the law
must be upheld, though business in
terests may suffer little.
The work of the soldier boys is one
of love and duty. There is no compen-
sation, and many trials and hardships
are borne by them for the public veal.
Upon many occasions the Light IT,
fantry has atood a bulwark of strength
in unfolding the law.
Upon one occasion lynching at the
Americas Jail was probably averted by
the presence of this stalwart company
with loaded rifles.
The mob finched when they knew
they must face bullets.
Only few months ago the IYnching
of two white citizens in an adjoining
county was averted by the presence of
the Light Infantry, and the lives of
the threatened prisoners thus saved.
Upon many occasions they have maui
tanned order and saved human life.
The very presence here of this COM
mand is deterrent factor against those
who would break the law. Amerlcus
is proud of her company and must
maintain it.
