Justified ny Law

Referring to the pistol .toting
editor who made an armed invasion
of jackson few days since, our
erratic friend, Joe Norwood. Of the
Magnolia Gazette, says that his
character is above reproach Ger
tainly. certainly! All pistol-toters
have characters above reproach.
jackson Daily News
This paragraph has reference to
the Hobbs. Cannon incident Occuf-
ring at jackson last week when
Editor Hobbs, Of the Brookhaven
Leader, used a pistol in protecting
himself from violence at the hands
Of one Cannon. a henchman Of the
senatorial candidate, Mr.. Leroy
Percy.
The jackson News has made
much Of the fact that Mr. Hobbs,
who has been such conspicuous
advocate of law and erder in Mis-
slssippi, was armed with deadly
weapon. and it finds great satisfac-
tion in publishing him to the world
as :pistol-toter
AS usual. the conclusions Of the
jackson News are not borne out BY
the facts in the case.
Mr.. Hobbs declares that he had
been advised that Mr.. Cannon had
threatened to do him up,
Whereupon the editor of The Lead
er did precisely what the laws Of
his State authorize him to do-he
procured a pistol and placed him.
self in position to defend his per
son from any bodily harm which
might be attempted by his enemy.
This authority is clearly confer
red upon any citizen by section
1105 of the Annotated Code in
which person charged with car
rying a deadly weapon concealed
may show as defense Hthat he
was threatened. and had good and
sufficient reason to apprehend
serious attack from an enemy, and
that he did so apprehend. "
The editor Of the Jackson News
knows as well as anybody who
knows B. I. Hobbs. that his char
acter as man is not only .above
i but his private life
and public career are absolutely
without spot or blemish.
