WE have always contended that all good citizens will obey the law, and in all cases will defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States and of our state.

We have heard it argued V1" lucjr 7 in some instances. We do not believe that in any case where officers have the custoday of a prisoner, any set of men should take the law in their own hands and put to death any person, it matters not how guilty op heinous the crime that has been committed. "For it is written, vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Whosover, therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God and they that resist shall receive, to themselves damnation." Recently a negro committed an outrageous crime in Hinds county, taking the life of two white ladies and it was only by the strategy of the officers of that they thwarted the mob that was in pursuit of the brute that commited the Crime. The prisoner was even carried into another state and we still see in the papers that some are desirods of mobbing him and thus rape the law and become murderers themselves.

On last Sunday night two negroes shot to death a native Newton County white man, Clarence Nichols, of Louisville, and became murederers in the sight of the law and no doubt would have met capital punishment at an early day by the officers of law and paid the penalty of their Kves for the dastardly deed committed. But hundreds of men, not withstanding the fact that the officers had the offenders in their custody saw fit to avenge themselves by taking the negroes and burning them to death. An editorial in the Commercial Appeal of June 14th. under the head of "Shall the law rule or shall the mob rule?" is pertinent to the question and we pass it oh to our readers as follows: At Louisville, yesterday morning a mob estimated to number 1,000 took two negro prisoners from officers, bound them to a telephone pole, poured several cans of gasoline over them, and them applied the torch. To further show its contempt for the law, before burning the men at the stake the mob paraded its victims through the streets of the town.

The negroes were accused of having killed a white man the night before. The Sunday night killing may have been a cold blooded murderer, and the two negroes burned to death may have been the murederers. We are raising no -question as to their guilt. That is not the question. In Mississippi murder is a capital offense.

There is a method of legal procedure prescribed, and the state law harmonizes with the Federal Constitution, which guarantees to every person accused of crime an impartial trial by jury, and the right of counsel to defend him. Eevery man in that mob of 1,000 outraged the law of his own state and spit upon the constitution of the United States. This was done in the face of the official "effort" of the sheriff of Winston County and his two deputies, who according to the story, "fired several shots into the air, in an effort to frighten off the crowd," That article of the Constitution which gives to every accused man the right of a jury trial is a part of the same Constitution that embodies the prohibition amendment; for the enforcement of which the majority of southerners clamor long and loud. Probably many of those composing that Winston County mob of 1,000 are rampant in their defense of prohibition and would not vote for any man who advocated the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. If so, a little introspection will force an admission of their own inconsistency.

Is the man who would mutilate the Constitution of the United States by illegally trying to nullify the prohibition amendment any less patriotic than the man who would multilate and weaken the Constitution by overiding and trampling upon the amendment that guarantees an accused person his right to a bearing in a court of justice? Let each member of that WInton County mob answer the" question for himself. The greatest danger threatening the Jlepublic of the tJnfted States today its i gram and you will be able to get ome of the bp the State, also we will have lots of fun I and frolic. The first night will be good pictures etc. The second night will be turned over to the Clubs to put on their various entertainment, Plays, Stunts, songs etc. Honors will be given to the club that puts on the best entertain ment at the camp.

The Executive committee of the New ton county clubs will meet at Decatur, June 25th at 10 a. m. to make plant and a program for the camp. All com mitteemen are expected to attend this meeting as it is very important Yours very truly. MYRTLE KIMES.

Will Banks was the victim of a very painful injury Sunday night. While visiting a young lady friend at Foulk, Banks and his friend were sittinar on the poarch in a swing, when suddenly the beam the swing was attached to gave way and the beam struck Banks on the head, cutting a gash four or five inches in length. Banks was unconscious for a bit, a physician waA summoned, and immediate relief was given, and he was soon on his way home.

On Monday afternoon June 13. Charles and Eugenia Summer cele brated their fourth' birthday at their home on church street from 5 :30 to 6 :30. About thirty of their little friends were present to enjoy this occasion with them. A few stories were told the children and a number of games were played after which lovely refreshments were served consisting of ice cream and little individual cakes with "Charles and "Eugenia" written in pink across them Attractive favors were given the little guests and the twins received many remembrances in honor of the day. The local office of the American Express Company has been moved from, their location on Main Street in Thrash Building.

They are now located on West Church Street just across the street from Burns-McWhorter Motor Comany where the Newton County Bank arranged nice office quarters for them in the Lcjng Creamery building. J. A. Smith is the efficient agent at this office. RESPECTED CITIZEN PASSES TO HIS REWARD On last Saturday afternoon Henry C.

Simmons, aged sixty, and living four miles south of Newton died after several months illness. Mr. Simmons had been in failing health all this year but did not become seriously ill until a few weeks ago when he was forced to take his bed and gradually grew worse until the end came. He married Miss Bernice Lyle in his young manhood and to this union was born four sons all of whom survive him, as follows: Roy bimmons, Lawrence LeLe, Calhoun, and Clint Simmons of Newton. 'Mr.

Simmons' first wife proceeded him to the grave twelve years ago and he afterwards married Miss Mattie Ever ett who survives him. Mr. Simmons was a member of one of the oldest families of Newton County his father moving here about the time Newton County was organized TT i uncie nenry, as he was com monly wnown, lived his entire lifetime near Newton and was hieh ly respected for his christian character and honesty of purpose. He was i staunch member of the Bethel Barj tist church, where the funeral was held last Sunday at eleven o'clock conduct ed by the pastor, Rev. W.

And mob rule is just as damnable a form of 1 a lawnessess as is bootlegging, safe-blow ing and murder. Next fall Mississippi is to name a chief executive, who will serve for four years. The gubernatorial campaign is now under way. There are four or five candidates now in the field. We venture the assertion that not one of these candidates, nor any others who may later announce, but will advocate the strict enforcement of the nrohibi- tion law as provided by the Volstead Act for upholding the Eighteenth Am endment," and will inveigh mightily against bootleggers and moonshiners.

It would be unfair to any aspirant for gubernatorial honors in Mississippi to intimate that he is in sympathy with mob law. We do not believe that any one of them is. But, for the purpore of putting the candidates and the great state of Mississippi on record, it would L. uc iwr uic tanuiuaics IO Kive cjvyitaaivsj MiCal W1VCJ un WC VV IMS ton County mob in particular and lynch ings in general. If we are not mistaken, the gover nor of Mississippi has the power to remove a sheriff for cause, including failure to properly protect a prisoner in his keeping.

Whether or not the sheriff of Winston took the proper precautions to safeguard the lives of the two negroes, we do not know. But the people of Mississippi have the right to ask of each of the guber natorial candidates what, in event of his election, he would do if in his opinion a sheriff failed in this respect These matters pertaining to law en forcement, not only in Mississippi, but in every other state as well. Either fhe law or the mob is going to rule, and we must stand for one or the other. zone. There is no middle ground, no twilight We cannot be true to our professions of citizenship if we put a finger on one law and say that we favor it and will observe it, and put a finger on ather law and say that we oppose it and will ignore it.

It is folly for any man or set of men to make war upon bootleggers and bandits in the name of the law, and then individually or collectively give aid or comfort to those who have deliberat ely set about smashing' some other legal inhibition. We have got to stand for the law in its entirety, not for just" a part of it. If we don't, the whole laWwill eventually go down before the onslaughts of its enemies, and the mob will be supreme. We are face to face with the issue, and the people must choose whom they will serve. WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE Section 4138 Hennigways" Code: "Every male inhabitant of this state.
