The Wages of LawIessness.

The affair at MeadVille. in Frank
lin county, Miss, in which two
were killed, two will die and two
We're wounded, rivals in feudist hor-
ror the occurrences of Breathitt
county Ky. Monday evening, DR..
Newman, who had recently been
acquitted for killing DR.. Prichard
at Meadville, last April, was fired
upon from am bush while passing
along the street in his buggy, He
sought shelter in a building, but
was followed and attacked by his
enemies. Friends of Newman
Joined in the affray until pitched
battle was fought, resulting as
stated. 1t seems that the popula-
ton of the town is aligned with one
or the other side, constituting a
feud likely to vent itself in blood
shed. on provocation, at any
moment. Indeed, the situation
was so serious as to require the
presence of State troops 10 prevent
general outbreak. The origin of
the feud dates back to wholesale
lawlessness in Franklin county
several years ago, in which white
Gaping was the character of crime
prevalent. The Newman Prichard
feud grew out of bringing the
perpetrators to justice, connected
with which the above families were
prominent.
The Meadvilie affair, while de-
plorable. is but the wages of disre-
gard of law; had its inception in
lawlessness, and ripened into the
bloody fruits of death with the
boots on,
The results teach that the way
of the transgressor is hard and that
disregard of law often brings its
penalties not alone through the ma
chinery Of the courts. but often
through other avenues of retribu-
ton.

That Meeting Monday.

The pastors of the several churches
and a number of representative cit
liens met at the law offices of Hon.
Id. w. Houston, Monday evening.
to consider the advisability OF organ
izing a law enforcement league or
otherwise cooperate with the local
authorities in the suppression Of
vices that are blots upon the COM
plexion Of our city. Hon. W, H..
Clifton was made chairman of the
meeting, and its object was stated
| by Rev. J. P. Harrington, pastor Of
the Baptist church Among other
prominent citizens present We're,
Messrs. Kirby Lam, A. ]. Brown,
| G. J. Leftwich, p. A. Dulin, D. w.
Houston, J. NJ. Ackera and Mr.. Cole.
Each Of The above gentlemen discus
sed the objectional vices existing, as
report and observation had impress
sed him, and pledged his support
to the creation Of a better moral
sentimentsfor the preservation OF or
der.g
A resolution expressing confidence
in the city officials, and carrying
the sense of the assembly convey ed
that existing vice and lawlessness
be suppressed. After which the
meeting adjourned sine die without
determining whether permanent or
ganization should or should not be
effected. 1t has been said that
straws show which way the wind
blows, The Weekly regards the a
bove demonstration as a straw which
indicates a healthyssmoral breeze for
the publication of Aberdeen. With
out going into the discussion as to
whether a law enforcement league,
composed of the law abiding ele-
ment, is an incentive to lynch and
mod violence, or whether it is a
force for promotion of order, deem
cy and civic excellence, the Weekly
would endorse its organization, if
conditions demanded the remedy.
We do not know that our city has
more than It's quota of vice. or that
it stalks more openly on our streets
than elsewhere in similar sized
towns. We do know, however, that
vice exists here Us elsewhere, and
that it ought to be suppressed. We
cordially subscribe to the expression
of confidence in Our municipal Off
GERS. and believe. if vice has become
so obtrusive as to provoke the de-
monstration, last Monday. that
what was expressed in that citizen 8
meeting will materially aid officers
ina the discharge of Their duty.

The New Methodist Church.

The congregation that met at the
Methodist church, Sunday morning
in response to the information pre-
viously sent out, that the amount
raised in subscriptions and detail Of
other matters in the progress Of
building the new church would be
made known, was representative in
the full sense OF that term. Hon.
/ G.. J. Leftwich exhibited the blue
prints and explained the size,
height, seating capacity, exterior
and interior and the kinds Of mate
rial that will be used in the struc-
ture. A large picture of the eleya-
ton was also shown. After Mr..
Leftwich had infinitely calculated
the above matters, the pastor. Rev.
| w. e. Nj. Brogan, stated that only
So, 600 were needed in subscriptions
to authorize the committee to award
| the contract. Mr.. Brogan urged
| that this amount be subscribed at
once, which after the congregation
was dismissed, met with a volunta-
ry response of $500 addition to the
list. A strong feature of the meet
ing was the earnest talk made by
DR.. W. G.. Sykes, chairman of the
committee. Mr.. Sykes stated that
other towns of the State are erecting
handsome and representative church
buildings; that Aberdeen is amply
able to build an edifice in keeping
with the culture and civic pride of
her people; that the time for doing
so is propitious. and that delay was
hurting the cause. He completed
his appeal by urging the people to
get busy" and subscribe what is
needed 20 pat the matter in the
certain way.
The service was much enjoyed
and the project of building a new
church was materially furthered.
The Weekly, as would every citizen
of the town, be gratified at an early
completion of the subscription list.

ever enjoyed more deserved popu-

and it can be safely taken for z rant
ed that the board Of trustees will
retain him in the position be has
| filled with such exceptional ability
during the past eight months.
One very notable feature Of the
work If Prof. Sykes in Jackson has
been the manner in which he has
encouraged the high school spirit
among the students. Without a
sacrifice of scholarship standard
among the boys Ct the school, he
has at the same time inspired an
ardent love Of athletics, and thesuc
cess of his work is abunlantly shown
by the splendid records Of the foot
ball and baseball teams during the
season Just closed
The friends Of Prof. Sykes will be
glad to learn that he will return to
Jackson next month at the head Of
his military company. the Aberdeen
Rifles. This is one of the crack COM
