GLOBE-DEMOCRAT REPORT,
Err KNOCKED DOWN AT
HANNIBAL

An incident, more or less ex-
citing and eliciting a considera-
BILE amount of gossip and news
paper comment, occurred at
Hannibal on the night of Octo-
Der %, following the big Demo-
cratic meeting of that day there.
Bradley B. Huff, political writ
er, of the Globe-Democrat, it
seems, had rendered himself
somewhat odious to some of the
inhabitants and visitors by OBJ
jectionable language and indis-
Greet behavior, so much so that
certain of the attendants resent
ed, knocking him down. l
The report is that Huff called
John ]. McGillicuddy, otherwise
known as "Cuddy Mack" from
the Mark Twain Hotel about ~
o'clock that night presumably
to apologize for the Objectionable
language and behavior earlier
in the day, and that while he
(Cuddy Mack and Huff were
talking another man, stranger
to "Cuddy Mack, came up and
Joined in the argument. Huff
said something that angered the
stranger and the latter knocked
the newspaper man down.
That Huff beat an immediate
and somewhat accelerated re-
treat to the hotel is the evidence
of all who saw that portion of the
controversy.
"Cuddy Mack" said, 81 didn't
know Huff, but when l saw him
up there, inviting trouble with
nearly everybody he ran into, l
found out who he was. Why, II
saved him from a beating by
calling off some of the fellows
he had been abusing earlier in
the day."
Harry Engnehl, bartender,
said, 'McGillicuddy told Huff to
behave himself, but did not at
that time strike huff. A fellow
named Conroy from st. Louis
succeeded in getting Huff to go
to a room in the hotel.
about 1 o'clock, just after |
closed the bar, | was standing
in the hotel lobby when my at
tention was called to a fight in
the street at the side Of the no.
tel. saw McGillicuddy hit HUFF |
once, but no one else struck him. |
Huff was struck in the mouth |
three or four times. The next
thing l saw was Huff running
into the lobby. He went up the
steps as fast as his legs could
carry him. He was crying
aloud. The night clerk and l
hurried to the third floor, where
we found him still crying. He
had blood on his lips"
Engnehl stated that McGilli-
cuddy acted gentlemanly in the
BAR and tried to avoid trouble
with the newspaper man.

Rally at Johnston.

We desire to see Edgefeld and every
other community in the county largely
represented at the educational rally
which is to be held at Johnston FRI
day of this week. This is to be a red
letter occasion for education in the
county as well as for Johnston and its
splendid school.
A very interesting programme has
been arranged. Besides addresses by
prominent educators and others, there
will be attractive music Dinner will
be served free to all, who attend.
We trust that every school in the coun-
ty will be represented and that each
delegation will carry home with 1t
enthusiasm that will give an impetus
to education over the entire county.
While we have made progress in educa-
ton, we have only made beginning.
There is so much yet to be done. Let's
all assist in making the Johnston rally
a rousing success.

Negro Causes Riot.

Something new under the sun is
race riot in Boston. Well, however
dubious one might hitherto have been
as to the possibility of race friction IN
Boston, riot On small scale actually
occurred Saturday night in the lobby
of the fremont theatre. The prlncl-
pal figure was Trotter, the negro VINO
insulted President Wilson in the White
House last year. Trotter has an ex-
aggerated idea Of his Importance and
will yet hang himself if given sufficient
rope. Boston is learning that there
are negroes and negroes. Some make
good citizens, while others make un-
desirable citizers.
The race needs leaders, but leaders
of the right type. 1t needs more men
like Rev. C. T. Walker of Augusta,
but the negro race would profit by
having fewer men of the Trotter type.
Instead of friend, he is an enemy to
his race. However, after all, he is
not so much to be blamed. AS Boston
made him what he is, let the
Bostonians take their own medicine.
We do not want Trotter down here.
In fact, he would have to mend his
ways, or else he would find this part of
the country altogether uncongenial.

Lynched Fol Trivial 0ffense.

There are some crimes so black that
even conservative, law-abiding men de-
fend the act of the mob which appre-
hends and shoots to death the perpetra-
tor. While the demands of an outrag-
ed people and violated law may be met
by summary execution at the hands of
the mob, yet the effect is demoralizing
and the reflex influence upon society is
baneful.
A lynching occurred in a Georgia
town Saturday which is altogether
without justification from every stand
point. A negro was arrested and plac-
ed in jail to await trial upon the charge
of stealing meat from a smokehouse.
During the night mob went to the
prison, forced open the door, seized
the negro and shot him to death. The
men who killed the accused negro are
guilty of greater crime he was and
should be dealt with severely. Public
sentiment should condemn lynch law.
Let this lawless spirit increase and hu-
man life will be unsafe; lynching for
the most trivial offense will become
prevalent. The community in which
the negro accused of stealing meat was
lynched has been demoralized by this
lawless act on the part of the mob. 1t
is this same spirit that has made
"nig ght-riders" of Kentucky possible.
These lawless men of Kentucky have
destroyed property by fire and have
taken human life without the slightest
justification Let the spirit of lawless-
ness be stopped in its incipiency. Let
the people be taught to obey and re-
spect the law and let criminals be pun
ished through the regularly established
channels.
