Brazel, the father of Wil lam Brazell, the slain taxi driver i a statement given The State yes erday made a personal appeal a ainst mob'violance, asking that the fficers be allowed to hring the pris ners to trial and punishment un ?olested. "I am a law abiding man," Mr.' iiazell said, "and though I know hat no punishment, however cruel, ould be possibly be too severe for lese men, yet I would prefer to see tie law be allowed to take its course, 'he lynching of the three men, or ivo of them, cannot give me back ?y boy and it may possibly cost ie life of some of my friends or my ?urdered boy's friends. It is the worn duty oft the sheriff to protect is prisoners and I should not blame im for protecting them from a mob any more than I should blame him for risking his life to hold them should their friends attempt to res cue them. If I were in the sheriff's plac? I should hold them if it cost me my life and I now expect the sheriff and other officers to do like wise.-I should be true to my oath; they will be true to theirs. "The representatives of the law first arrested the men, who other wise might by now have made good their escape, and I know that the law can be trusted to hold them and . to punish chem for their brutal crime. The death or injury of a sheriff or of some friend of mine or. my boy's will not help me . ? ear my loss. If I were to read tomorrow *that Fox and Gapping had been lynched I should feel no better or h?ppier than I do now. These men have broken the law and will be punished without delay by the law. The lynching of them will not make their punishment more certain. The law has done its part inn capturing. the murderers and obtaining the evidence against them; it will do the rest by punish ing them." ' Mr. Brazell also made his appeal in person to men, supposed to he members of the mob, asking them to discontinue any efforts to take the men from the hands of the officers. ? Mr. Brazell was a member of the searching party which located the body of the slain boy near Leesville last Tuesday and so knows the story of the killing in all its horrible de tails.-The State. In Memoriam. To My Mother, Mrs. A. F. Ouzts, Who-Wcnt Home Aug. 19, 1920. Just one short year since you left us, Ages and ages it seems, Often and often I see you, I see you only in dreams. Always I am bending o'er you Striving to relieve the pain; Then I grieve, to find as always, That my striving is in vain. I had ever tried to shield you From the storms that blew without, I had often felt their ragings Toss, my weary soul about. v / When our efforts prove so fruitless, Then it is God does his part, Thus it was He came and took you. Safely to his home and heart. I am thinking, mother, dearest, Of the time, when not in dreams, We shall be again together, Where love in perfection streams. . -r. .. Where the cloud is golden sunshine Where the rain is heaven's dew, Where the .Light is always shining, There around His throne for you. F. A. 0. Subscription Price Depends Largely on Circulation. It is desirable that the patrons of the Yorkville Inquirer thoroughly understand the attitude of the pub Ushers on the question of the sub scription price. In arriving at a fixed subscription price for a newspaper, it is necessary to consider the number of subscrib ers obtainable along with the prob able amount of advertising business to be secured. * It is the desire of the publishers to make the subscription rate as low as possible, so as to put the 'benefits Qf the paper more easily within the reach of the largest number of peo ple. At a subscription rate of $2.50 a year,under present conditions, .and with revenue from advertising, it would require a circulation of about 5,000 copies per issue to pay actual ?xpenses of publication. . At the present time the circulation af the paper, although easily the largest of any county paper in the state, if not in the South, is less than i,000 copies per issue. It is the intention of the publishers ;o establish the subscription price )f the Yorkville Enquirer at $2.50 a pear if they can; but it must be dis_ ;inctly understood that they are not committed to that* proposition. I If it shall develop that it is impos ible to furnish the paper at this B irice, the price will be raised next 'all, before the time for the renewal ?f 1922 subscriptions. Of course all who subscribe and >ay for the paper now at $2.50 will ret the paper for twelve months at hat price, but 'if it shall be found lecessary to increase the price later m, those who subscribe thereafter rill be required to pay the increased ?rice. If the publisher can get as many is four thousand subscribers alto_ ;ether, .he will undertake to guar_ ntee the $2.50 rate; hut otherwise io definite promises can be made at his time. -Yorkville Enquirer.
