REPLIES to Attack.
Editor News:

Editor News
/ have just returned from Nashville
and picked up the News, and my eye
fell on an article written by one Tom
Yell. Of course, Tom, in common
with all of his kind, don't fancy a
man that stands square up for law and
order and the enforcement of the same,
and if he and his sort could overawe
and subdue the moral forces of the
state and put quietus to them they
would do SO. I've always stood for
law and order, and ever expect to
stand for it, and he presumes l have a
bitch dog running at large, which is a
great crime because it is said she be-
longs to "Uncle Tom" No one is dis
posed to criticise "Uncle Toms" law
and order articles except those who
really don't want the law enforced.
The best element favor law and order.
All the readers of the News can see
that Yell would like for the guilty to
go unpublished. AS to his threat about
The next court, it does not amount to
a hill of beans either way SO far as
am concerned.
49, UNCLE TOM.

real entertainment enterprise. The
policy Of the management is to be en-
tertainers of the public and not part

liberal firm of managers. Many new

DISGRACEFULl

A prostitute from no where in par
ticular conducted her hellish business
in this town Sunday night. She walk
ed the streets Sunday afternoon anC
the elimination was reached Sunday
night when after church services 6
gang of young men and boys of the
town took out after her, initiating the
race of a pack of ours after a bitch, 8
disgraceful business for humans. From
reports that reach our ears, if they be
true, some disgracefully nasty scenes
were enacted. She left Monday for
Jasper where like orgies, we suppose,
have been committed.
Right here is where we wish to call
denounced in the Bible than whore
mongery, and no sin, we are sorry to
say, is gaining ground faster in the
United States than that same sin. 1t
is the fault of the teachers of the peo-
pie, the preachers, in other words,
who wrangle over some petty bit of
doctrine, and let a sin that under
mines morals and health go uncheck-
ed. Has any reader of this paper ever
heard preacher in this section pro
claim from his pulpit, "Thou shalt
not commit adultery" or bring up any
one of the formidable array of texts
against this sim Youth is not taught
what is wrong, but is left to be saved
by the uncertain sort of emotionalism
evolved from protracted meeting,
which in some cases does some good,
and in most cases does none.
Teach the boys that whoremongery
is destruction to the race, teach them
that the sins of the fathers shall be Wis
tied upon the children, even to the
distant generations, teach them that it
is nasty and defiling practice, any
way, and constitution breaking. This
woman came here, it is alleged, to
communicate disease. and is reported
to have said that she contracted hid
eous disease on former visit here ten
years ago, from a party here, and
came back to get even. The result is
that some of the young men are ruin
cd, are nasty, filthy wrecks, misery
to themselves, and laughing stock to
others, and others consider it smart
trick and are going to get into the
devilment AZ soon as they can.
We understand that some of the
fathers of this town, when they learn
ed the character of the woman, order
ed their sons to stay at home Sunday
night This was the right action, and
leads up to another point.
If the young men of this town would
not permit few harmless negloes to
live here few years back, the older
men of this town will not permit the
young men of this town and vicinity
to conduct who're resort on the
streets and in the woodlands of this
place after night. We feel sure that
they will take the matter in hand,
and deal with this foulness in the
prompt and decisive manner it re-
quires.
"Thou shalt not commit adultery,
saith the Lord.

We are considerably in favor of Rep
resenta tive O'Brien's bill to legalize
all sports for recreation on Sundays in
Tennessee between the hours of 2 and
7 p. III 1t might be well to de-
mand a certificate of attendance at
some church or Sunday school that
morning as prerequisite. This
thought is suggested from the fact that
a considerable portion of the youth of
this town who were not practicing ball
were keeping company with a disre-'
putable woman Sunday.
