Everybody is in vited to attend. The meeting this week will be held at the home of Mrs. S. F. Crawford. Mrs. N. L. Hesters, who had been sick for nearly a year, and danger ously ill during the last few weeks, died last Friday morning. The bu rial took place Saturday morning at Shiloh church, Rev. T. R. McMi- ohael conducting the funeral service. Mrs. Hesters had been for many years a member of the Methodist church. She suffered much during her illness, which was long and se vere. Now, the tired body is free from, pain, the weary spirit at last at rest. Our sympathies are with the berea\ ed family. \ The recent killing of Editor Gon zales by Lieutenant Gov. Tillman in Columbia, S. 0., is another terrible result of unlawfully carrying con cealed weapons. When Tillman was arrested two pistols were on his per son, having been concealed. Wheth er or not the rank of the slayer will prevent the infliction of the extreme penalty of the law, is not now the question, but that all law-abiding people should by precept and exam ple do all they can to break the un lawful, inexcusable and dangerous practioe of carrying oonoealed weap ons. But for this pernicious prac tice, the crime of .homicide would be decreased by more than half. In committing acts of war against Venezuela, Germany is evidently ex ercising the theory that might makes right. It is unreasonable to assume that Germany expeots to collect the debts she claims by destroying valu able property and crippling the re sources of Venezuela. There are many who think the undercurrent purpose is to test the allegiance of the United States to the Monroe Doctrines. Recently German states men have severely criticised the United States with reference to “impudence” of the Monroe Doc trine, and Emperor William is mak ing himself decidedly conspicuous with “a chip on his shoulder.” { By Big Sandy.
