The shooting ARRAY that occurred in Leonard
town on Sunday afternoon savors of something
far more serious than an armed encounter be-
tween couple Of rowdy, disreputable citizens
Both OF the principals In this affair, and likewise
the woman over whom the difficulty arose, can
only be classed as emphaticaly undesirable" in
any community. Both of these men have pre-
Wously given trouble to the local authorities, as
the court records will disclose. and are Of such
type and disposition that renders them men
ace to the public good and safety.
That these negroes should select the very
center OF the county seat on Sunday afternoon
to indulge in pistol duel. gravely endangenng
the lives Of the greater portion Of the peaceful
inhabitants of the town, breathes spirit of alb
solute contempt and disregard of all law, order
and decency that calls for the most drastic mea-
sures to curb. Within few feet Of the scene
of the trouble ladies and children, occupying
their own porches, were exposed to the danger
of being hit by flying bullets One man, a BY
stander, and from all reports in no manner con-
cerned in the ARRAY, was struck and is in dam
gerous condition as the result of his wound.
To aggravate the utter lawlessness Of the &C.
cunence, the constable, In attempting to arrest
the negro Milbum, was himself the object of
murderous attack, not only by the man he tried
to take, but by two negro women who, by as
saulhng him with rocks, prevented him from
making the arrest and placed him practically
helpless at the hands Of desperate criminal.
When all this could take place without hand
being raised to assist the officer it is no wonder
that the lawless and irresponsible element should
feel secure in their defiance of the law. 1t is
encouraging to know that the affair has aroused
public indignation to the extent that consider
able number Of reputable citizens of the town
have pledged themselves to render the constable
any assistance ne may need in future emer-
gency and to relieve him Of the necessity of 90
ing single-handed to uphold the law.
In imposing well deserved prison sentences
on the two negro women for assauling and In
lettering with the Constable in the performance
of his duty. Magistrate Gek delivered solemn
warning that offenders Of like nature need ex-
pect no mercy nor trivial fines, but would be
put where they belong, in the Penitentiary or
State refomatories.
1t would be the rankest injustice if we failed
to commend Constable Peacock. No man
could have acted with greater courage nor ex-
hibited stauncher fidelity in the performance
Of his duty. His conduct has won the praise
of every law-abidinp citizen.

An amusing incident occurred at
Versailles during the visit of the
Germans. Two of them walked into
a cafe to purchase some cigars and
on the counter in a prominent posi-
ton was a bronze model of a pig
with a German helmet on it in the
form of a match stand to represent
the Kaiser. The Germans noticed
it and one of them picked it up and
after examining it placed it back in
its position and placed cloth over
it. Our picture shows the young
lady who served the Germans and
the bust.
