OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT
HEAVILY SCORED

Editor News;
Please give me space to speak a few
words about the conduct of some men
and boys of Seauachee, who are on
hand when there is gathering of any
kind at the Hall or church, it does not
make much difference to them where
they go, their conduct is nearly rs bad
one place as another.
Now, on Saturday night of last
week at the hall was a disgrace to the
boys of Sequacuee. or some OF them.
anyway. For instance, those who
beloved at lacy who was there with
her children. and who was hunting for
some dishes which had been thrown
away. Just think of boys. you might
say men, who would and do stoop so
low as to be guilty of such conduct as
to destroy peoples dishes who take
them there to try and help a good
cause, only to be run over by such
gang of ruffians. Then that is not
half what was done. Someone kept
the lights blown ont as fast as they
could get to them. Last Saturday
night was not the fist time that this
had been 6One, it has been going on
too long for the good of the town now.
Young men with shelled corn in their
pockets, throwing it in old peoples
faces-but there Is no use of me trying
to tell. as you all would have to get
out an extra to print it.
Will some one tell who is to blame
for this conduct Is it the boys OF pa
rentsH It surely must be the boys. II
not, oh what mothers and fathers some
children of Sequaohee must.claim. But
let the blame fall where it belongs. II
on the head of any family. there let it
stay, or let that head get busy and re-
move the blame, which would be a
great blessing for Sequachee. Nearly
every boy, or let me say, everyone |
who was in this disgraceful conduct |
has mother or a sister who was look |
ing on or at home, and know this
much, orssbelieve it, that each boy was |
asked to be a good boy and behave |
like men, which they said
they would, and then just as quick as
be was out OF sight. made himself a |
disgrace to the town.
Who can do as 80 many did Satur- |
day night and honor his old mother
and father. When you fail to honor |
mother and father you dishonor them
for when You fail in the first you sue
coed in the latter. But as sure as you
live, you must surely die. SO must
your dear old mother, and when she
is gone it is too late then to make
amends for the dishonor You have
heaped upon your dear old mothers
head, so be careful what you do.
When you see mothers and fathers
take IL into their heads to 60 out with
heir boys to the Hall or church, then
,ome changes will take place in. the
conduct in Sequachee, and not before,
'or we might as we'll say we have no
peace officers In this county, or at
east it looks that way now. What
7ou get this day and time is all you
rave, so why not try and get some
,eace officers Then you will have
hem.
/ do not mean to hurt anyope's feel
ngs in writing this. but want peo-
lie to know that there is plenty of
Dom for improvement in the conduct
# young men and boys of SeQuaohee
md other towns in this county. Why
hould this be passed by when it is in
he rower of some one to put stop to
:.
Who will stop his part of this troub-
9 or stand by the officer who under
axes to stop it, for Sequachee is in
reed of some one with back bone as
tiff as fence rail-
| may have some more to say in the
uture, as there is more than plenty
o say which ought to be said.
