BOY, PACE U- S. PACE
It is time for lbs Cumberland coun
ty officers to quit taking any chances
with moonshiners or bootlegger*. An
other deputy was shot down in cold
blood by two of that gentry in ray
eucville Saturday! If the ftllow* can
be caught, an example should be made
of them. An old-fashioned hanging to
which all Cumberland blockades* had
a special invitation would be in or
der. But really, it docs not seem re
asonable that an officer should let his
prisoners shoot him after their arrest
If there Is any shooting to be done
