FRIDAY, DECEMBER %, 1911.
The Pettiarew Murder.

The murder of the Pettigrew fami-
ly near Clifton a few days ago is
crime that will go down in history as
one of the most heinous ever COM
mitted. The brutes who could ignore
a pleading conscience and take the
lives of these poor helpless people are
deserving of the most severe punish
ment that it is in the power of man
to mete out. Mr.. Pettigrew was I'M
armed, for of all men, he least sus-
pected that any one would try to
take his life and those of his children.
Again he was law-abiding and indus
trious, and living, as he thought, in
a community of entirely law-abiding
people. But to the shame of Tennes-
see such was not the case.
The best people in this state, the
south and the country frown down
on such a crime. We rejoice however
to know that there has been no talk
of lynching by the Negroes of that
community, which proves that the
Negro is a believer in law and order.
They have confidence in the officers
of the law and will wait patiently
that it may take it's course.

Your sense of right is atrophied. And
you are the most dangerous kind of a
white liar because you are a girl. You
use a womans CIeverness to invent
subtle ways of prevaricating. You are
an adept at mske-believe. You are past

your falsehoods with the charm of fic-

But YOU play with dangerous toys.
