I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?whereGod has not" 11 - The Issue Joined. The story of the killing of an t inoffensive negro at Lake City J1 i Saturday night and the series of i preliminary acts of lawlessness; s reaching a climax in murder, as| graphically told by opr resident correspondent, is almost incredi- * ble. It staggers belief that here] in tin? twentieth century in one * of the pioneer sections of the original thirteen States, such long- 1 continued lawlessness could lie ' tolerated, except, perhaps, in 1 some sparsely inhabited region ]' where the long arm of the/ law could not reach. But for the ' scene of this saturnalia of erime to V be in a town of nearly two 1 thousand inhabitants, right in v the heart of the business section, I1 and worst of all, for the crown- j I ing atrocity to he committed by! i in-ill who xvnrc the h:ulm> of i ^ a i?eiu*e officer -all this, we say, denotes that our neighltor town a has fallen into evil days and s< the spirit of law is at a' low n ~ebh indeed. . Our correspondent writes from j the scene: "A crowd of armed jt, me.u from this town and com- n iiUinity established a reign of ,, terror on the show grounds * * }$ * * Besides the homicide, it is u said that several of the show people were rohljed at the points C( of pistols, etc." r( Truly a terrible portrayal this a] aii 1 a sad indictment against ,, those in authority, to whom was a, entrusted the life and safety of ^ the community. j) But, however dark the picture, u there is a rift in the clouds. The Ix-tter people of the town have l>een _ aroused to action and liave said in w no uncertain tones that the tnur- s< lerer and his ilk shall not go unwhipt of justice. Their prompt* a and vigorous action will, more s| than anything else possible, tend < , t" vindicate the name and reputa- c tioii of the town, which are now h in the Balance. \ These citizens of Lake City, tin; f men who decry the outrage, are the r wHir.lv l.nilders of the town who ;l haw l?y their brain ami brawn! v huiMtnl Lako fit.v from a crossr??a?ls *hamlet into alown of social j ami commercial importance, an ') ambitious town with a future too. j ori^lit to l?e blasted by the acts of j" .1 lawless ami invs|>on<ible element 1 wbo have nothing at stake save the a jtratilieation of their propensity for j r-'wlvism ami "having a good J linn*" after tin- manner of their i Tin- letter element of a commu-' :i nity i- always s|?,w to act a- a ^ b-dy in dealing with lawlessness, thinking it the iluty of those in anil .-rit.v to nive them the protection tb V have the right to expect. lint t j>V iv!n*n tln v do ri-e i:i their lnigli Hid IV.
