Leaders clash over mob law in Vicksburg feud
A Brookhaven Leader editorial accuses the Vicksburg Herald and Evening Post of hypocrisy for opposing mob violence while backing a gubernatorial candidate allied with mob supporters. The piece defends Gov. Longino and cites past actions against whitecapping, urging readers to compare reported lynchings and law enforcement efforts in Lincoln and surrounding counties. The message condemns the Herald while praising local civic responses and upcoming communal enterprises.
