We the undersigned itizens OF
Yalobusha County, Mississippi, re4

Will Meeks, colored, convicted Of the

Will Meeks has always borne S

white race.

never had any trouble before. We
further understand that the negro
killed, was spreading Negro Propa-
ganda, was advising the negroes to
arm themselves, and do violence to-
ward white people, and that Will
Meeks objected to this kind Of talk
and advice in his barber shop and this
started the difficulty; and it seems
from the proof in the case that the
dead negro made threats, and that the
real trouble was that Will Meeks
waited just little longer than he
should have, hence his conviction.
Further, we understand that the ne
gro Jessie Avant, was a negro of a
bad reputation, and this as to several
things. We further understand that
Will Meeks has made a model pris-
oner, and for said reasons we petition
Your Honorable Body for clemency
in his case, and request a full and
complete pardon.

Of the State of Mississippi
We the undersigned citizens of
Yalobusha County, Mississippi, REL
spectfully, but earnestly, ask that you

now confined in the State Penitentia-
ry serving ten year sentence follow

the Circuit Court of the Second Dis

We ask for his pardon because he had
great provocation for killing the de-
ceased, he having violated the home
Of Haley He killed only to protect
his home and we believe the imprison-
ment already undergone is sufficient
punishment.
In addition to this Haley has a
wife and three small children wholly
dependent of his labor for support,
and they are desperately in need Of
his aid and presence at home.
o. X. Haley is man who has al
ways borne very high reputation
for honesty, integrity, and upright
ness in his dealings with his fellow
man and has always made a good
citizen. We believe that if pardoned
he will continue to make a good cit

Those Sunday ''Blues. "

The Press on Sunday Blue Laws.
| Indignation combined with solemn
warning and touch Of Righteousness
mark the reception which the press
gives to the proposed program OF the
I Lords Day alliance. While there is
, some sympathy for the advocacy OF
! a more serious observance of Sunday,
| it would be hard to find an editorial
voice raised in defense of movement
which is looked upon as an effort to
bring back the puritan Sabbath" our
Iforefathers knew, and, as the Hartford
/ Times expresses it, "to prevent man.
kind j d. from :, getting any enjoyment out
The purpose Of the movement, as
the Albany Argus interprets it, lis to
make Sunday SO dreary, so dull, so ex-
asperating and so unpleasant that
there will be nothing for people to do
but go to church." If this is it's pur-
pose, if ''the power Of religious appeal
is indeed at so low an ebb, the New
ark IN. j. News (Ind.) asks: isn't
it an attitude of despair, confession
of weakness and impotency for the
church to seek to use the power of the
state as means of forceful reforma
tom" Answering it's question the
News says. "It is motion of des-
pair rather than of progress; Of re-
preston rather than of growth; Of
putting the responsibility on the mat

In order to solve it's problems, the
Evansville, Ind, Courier advises the
church "to turn it's face to the future
and not to the past" since, the Savan-
nah, Ca, News adds, "it is impossible
to make modern people religious by
law" The Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle doubts that "the spectacle
of man going to church with a Fed
eral agent at his elbow to make sure
that he does not slip up an alley"
