REFERS TO RIVER AFFAIR
Mob Law Must Be Condemned
He Says and Guilty Men

A we'll filled auditorium at Lee
Street Methodist church last night
heard Rev. Luther Harrell, the pas
tor, discuss "some Dangerous
Tendencies of Modern Times . in
which he flayed numerically the
perpetrators Of the outrage against
Oscar Clark, negro, on the Bagley
farm recently, and in which Ed Bar
Der, a white man, was killed by the
negro. In concluding his remarks
anent this affair, the speaker as
serted that mob law must be
condemned, and those guilty of this
crime must be brought to justice,
or we shall suffer the fearful con-
sequences that most certainly win
follow" His address, in part fol-
lows:
In every age it has been neces-
.sary to combat evil influences,
which would, if left alone, destroy
that which was counted dear and
Of most value. The age in which
we live is no exception. am not q

believe in the ultimate triumph Of
the Kingdom of God; but there are
certain tendencies existing today,
that if they go for a few years un-
checked, viii bring destruction to
those ideals and Institutions which
have meant so much in our civili-
cation.
''The first tendency that comes
to our attention is a disregard for
law. In order to insure the peace
and happiness of our people, there
must be laws and these laws must
be enforced. That individual who
does not have a proper respect for
the rights of others must be forced
to recognize these rights and priv
ileges.
while the officers of the law
and the courts are charged primari-
ly with the enforcement Of our
laws they are well nigh helpless,
unless the citizens stand by them.
Public sentiment plays large
part in law enforcement. The indi-
vidual citizen has responsibility in
this matter. When public senti-
ment becomes strong enough to
condemn law breakers, then we
shall see change.
organized labor has a term
which is applied to the strike break
er that has sting in it. No man
desires to be called 'scab.' Dur
ing the war the term Stacker was
applied to that man who did not
Ehis duty No real man would per-
nit this term TO be applied to him.
Recently there has been coined a
new word, which is applied to the
law-breaker--'Sc off-law.' + hope
the day will come when 'scoff-law'
will carry all the sting and even
more the words just mentioned.
When the day comes that the citi-
zenship of our country will thus
severely condemn violations of our
law, then men will refrain from
such acts.
when citizen of this country
gives away the secrets of his coun-
try in times of war, we call him a
! traitor but what of the man that
raises his hand to strike deep at
the very heart of his government?
He is no less a traitor, because he
sets in motion a, tendency that viii
most certainly destroy our govern
ment, if it is not checked. There
should be no less condemnation for
the law breaker than for the trai-

M0RGANTOWN, w. va, teD'
Ills marriage a joke or trag-
edy?
Two young students here-one a
pretty girl of humble home, the
other a dashing boy of wealth and
influence - are wondering. For
their futures depend on their find
ing out.
They have appealed to the courts
for judgment. And now their case
IS before the Supreme Court OF the
state--on which sits the father Of
the boy.
The actors in this orama OF real
life are:
Ann Victoria Shakespeare, the
daughter of a former mill worker,
who now runs a little confectionery
store in this small college town.
Jamison Meredith, the SON OF
Judge James a. Meredith of Charl-
eston, member of the Supreme
Court Of Appeals of the state, The
family is prominent and wealthy.
The boy and girl met. They be-
came close friends.
On Aug. Il, 1922, they went our
for an automobile ride. According
to the story told in court, there was
a proposal of marriage and an ac-
eeptanee, Then they drove on and
got marriage license, declaring that
they were 81 years old, although
they were only 10.
a visit to church, a consulta-
ton with pastor, a ceremony
and promise not to tell a soul.
The pledge of secrecy continued
for two days and then the story
leaked out, The elder Merediths
got busy. They started court action
for an aunuiment.
The marriage was entered into
as a jest, and we never intended
to fulfill The marriage vows" the
boy is reported as saying.
But the girl has another view.
I'VE were serious and / still am
serious" she says. u was and am
ready and willing to take my place
at Jamison's side and appear before
the world"
Continuing the attractive little
girl declares that the ceremony was
not entered into in the exuberance
OF youth and as Il college boy and
girl prank" as is alleged in Tie
court action. a
All this has caused ME untold EN-
barrassment and now they want to
have the marriage annulled for his
sake, she went on with~tears in her
eyes, But what about me?"
When the cas- came up in the
Circuit Court of Mongolia county
the judge refused TO annul the mar
riage.
Now the case is being carried to
the higher courts--and the boys
father is one of its membersl
While it is making up its minG,
both the young principals are con-
lnuing their studies at the univer-
sity; both arg taking prominent
part in the activities df the campus.
They sit in the same class rooms,
have the same friends-yet they are
as strangers to each other.
For the boy sees the situation as
joke.
But the girl sees it as a tragedy.
