in normal human mind, and 1t is
pity that an allmerciful providence
did not remove the being from the
face of the earth and spare his wife
and child the untold suffering and
humiliation which win inevitably be
their portion through life as a result
Of his work. 1t is also good to know
that they will not be compelled 10
suffer, in connection with this, the
humiliation of rejecting upon the
manner Of his destruction if the citi'
zens had not controlled their passions
and had resorted to mob violence in
disposing of the fiend.'
That the law will take it's course
and the man be hanged there is no
manner of doubt, and thus Mississippi
will be saved from another dark blot
upon her escutcheon and the citizens
of Brookhaven will have reason to feel
proud of the result of this affair.

Police Court

After a two days Test the wheels
of justice again started to grind this
morning in the city court.
Garfield Jones and his wife had u
little dispute and he got a lite bit
angry and slapped her jaws. The slap
may have hurt his wifes feelings, but
it hurt his pocketheek 81 this morning.
j. H. Norton had two eases against
him, one for drunk and the other for
disturbing the peace. He pied guilty
to both charges and on the grounds OF
promising to stay sober, receiving a
severe reprimand and Le was fined
$3.50 in the first and IS in the sec
fond case.
Ben Wright was next called. Ben
is the boy that CIT Jack Terrell Friday
night. When Jack took the stand he
proved to be a very comical witness
and although he tried to plead acct
dental cutting, it didn't go and when
he saw that he would have hard
time trying to prove that, he then in
as gentle way as possible led up to the
affair of Friday night. He had gone
| to bed and when Ben came in he
was demonstrated with for being sc
late in coming in and they began
tussling and according to Jacks state
ment business then picked up and they
got to scrapping. In the scrap one Of
them fell in the washbowl and broke
it. This is what cut his hand an6
when asked what he did when he saw
that he was cut he said that he was
scared to death kaze he hated to see

ALMOST A RACE RIOT.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug 3O.-Swing-

heads of the belligerents and declar.
ing that unless the trouble ceased they
would use them, company of negro
knights of Pythias prevented what
for a time promised to be a serious
race riot, during a parade of the
Supreme Lodge of the Negro Knights

The trouble began when W. S. Jar

in the line of march seized the bride
Of the horse.

Dear ir:-I wish to call your atten-

from the Hotel Hattiesburg every
morning.
The swill is kept in the kitchen till
it begins to get good and sour and
then about 5:45 to 6:15 a. m. wagon
drives up and the swill is hauled out
in cans and then they dip it up with
a bucket and pour it into some bar
rels in the wagon and the stencil
from it is as nauseating as it posi-
bly, can be.

Circulation Double That of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
THE BRookHAvEN AFFAIR.

1t is indeed gratifying to know that
the citizens of Brookhaven controlled
their feelings and did not allow their
passions to get control of their judg-
ment in dealing with the white beast
who assaulted the child at Pearlhaver
Sunday.
= If there ever was a time when
criminal deserved to be burned, it
would appear that this was the time.
Such an outrage as was committed by
the brute Woodall, is deserving of
the most extreme punishment, and is
without parallel in the history of the
state. Hanging would seem too good
for such a fiend-but, this is the
method of punishment provided by
law for perpetrators of such crimes
and the law should be allowed to
take its course.
In the heat of passion the very best
and most conservative citizens some
times do things for which they are af-
terward sorry, and very frequently
commit crimes under such circum-
stances for which they would, under
ordinary conditions, condemn others.
The people of Brookhaven are to be
complimented on their behavior on
this occasion, and it is to be sincerely
hoped that the presiding judge of that
district win convene the circuit court
in special session so that the man
may be tried and his neck broken
without delay. There is one alternating
circumstance in this case, and that is
that the man is a semi-idiot, other
wise it would be difficult to believe
that a human being could be so de-
PRAYED as to commit such an act of
deviltry.
The crime which this thing COM
mitted could not have been conceived

Mrs. Jarboe seized a whip and
struck at the men. Instantly hun
dred excited negroes crowded about
the wagon. One wrestled the whip
from the woman, striking her num-
Der of times and inflicting painful
bruises. Many white men rushed to
the aid of the laundry wagon. A riot
call was sent to police headquarters,
but before the police arrived the
armed knights had restored order.
