POLICEMEN RESIGN:
Want to Enjoy Christmas
Like Other Folks.

Four of the present police force,
who failed of reelection, have ten
dered their resignation to take
effect at once. They are Chief W..
E. Shanklin and Officers Cravens,
Clark and Mullen.
Mr.. Shanklin said he lad worked
seven days a week for five years and
one month and he wanted rest
during Christmas and he resigned
on that account. officer Cravens has
been a member of the force for
eleven years and two months, which
is a good record.
Messrs. Ohio Mullen and T. c..
Clark handed in their designations
yesterday with that of Chief Shank
lin. Officer Cravens went off duty
Tuesday night.
This leaves officers Booth Morris,
Amos Hayden, E. N. Miller and
Glenn Davis of the old force on duty.
Up to the time of closing our
forms the Mayor had not acted on
the designations. Should they be
accepted and go into effect their
places will be filled with the officers
who go into Office January LIST.
These are Chas. E. Hord, George
McCord. l. P. Duke and W. H.
Nixon.
There are several substitute
policemen in the city who act from
time to time as specials, and one or
two of these will be put on, so that
the city will be given adequate pro-
lection by an experienced force.
Mayor Henry stated yesterday af-
ternoon that he had declined TO &C.
cept the wholesale designations, leav-
ing the men in the attitude of quit
ting their positions.
The new officers expect to have
their uniforms in few days.

AT EDDYvILLE
Hopkinsville People Will Hold
Meeting In the
Prison.
WILL BE BIG DAY.
Testatnents and Many Xmas
Presents Will Be
Distributed.
BE BIG DAY.

Denying themselves the pleas
ure Of Spending Christmas day at
home, party of Hopkinsville peo-
pie will go to Eddyville Monday and
hold services in the chapel of the
penitentiary. The sermons will be
preached by Drs. Lyon and Wyatt,
Several ladies and gentlemen will go
down to decorate the chapel, distrib-
ute calendars, testaments and litera-
ture, which has been furnished by
the different Endeavor societies Of
the State. The call of the superin-
tendent of prison work for aid this
year has met with an unprecentedly
liberal response and the work in
many ways has been most encour-
aging. Among the several donations
from the State societies 500 Tesla
ments have been given, also 100
pounds of candy by Louisville soci'
ETY.. Several thousand letters d.
rected to the prisoners have been
written, besides Christmas remem-
brances of various kinds, such as
only the hands of sympathizing wo-
men can prepare.
Everything possible is to be done
to make the meeting of next Mon
day the banner meeting in the histo-
ry of the Eddyville prison work.
Great good has already been accom-
plished there, and it is notable fact
that the prisoners there, and else
where, who have listened to the
pleadings Of those engaged in prison
work have become the most tractable
and trusty, and many having been
paroled or served out their terms,
have become good citizens. Were
the influences not good the wardens
of the different State institutions
would not always welcome those
who are laboring to reform those
behind the bars.
Mr.. Hagerman, the present war
den at Eddyville, appreciates this,
and is always glad to see those who
go there only for good. The prison
commissioners also encourage the
prison workers.

JOINED ASSOCIATION
Leading Warehouse Firm
Goes Into Organization.

The warehouse and tobacco buy
ing firm of James West & Co., last
Saturday joined the Dark Tobacco
District Association and put into the
association a large quantity of to-
bacco bought outside the organiza-
ton. The association claims a coup
in the addition of this strong and
influential firm to their forces.
There is much rejoicing among
the association members and Messrs.
James West and P. E. West, of the
firm, are being congratulated on all
sides.

Discusses the Recent Out
RACES by Thoughtless Men
and Urges Watchfulness.
LET "HILLBILLs" SELL.
Name of the Association
Soon to Be Changed
Again.

Under date of Dec. 18th Mr.. F.
G. Ewing. chairman of the Dark
Tobacco Association, sends out a
note of moderation, caution and
loyalty to the members Of the or
ganization. Owing to want Of space
at this particular time we cannot
publish the communication in full,
but we give extracts covering the
most important points. Mr.. Ewing
says that, after the closest inquiry,
he finds there is exaggeration of
circumstances. and no evidence that
members were guilty of felonious
deeds" He also says a quiet, de-
termined fight is best, and urges the
members to eliminate everything
sensational. The following are ex-
tracts from Mr.. Ewing's circular
letter:
1t is extremely regrettable to me,
as am sure it is to every other
member of the Executive Commit
tee, that anything akin to lawless-
ness or intimidation should be re-
sorted to by self-appointed commit
tees composed of members Of our
hitherto magnificent organization.
We have surprised millions of peo-
pie on both sides Of 1.-The Atlantic
Ocean, who have watched us inter-
estedly and applauded our very evil
dent determination to win on a high
plane victory over most powerful
opposition, whose methods were det-
rimental to the best interests Of our
common country. That we have
achieved the result wezsdesired, no
one can say.
There are many thousands of
thoughtful, conservative men in the
dark tobacco district who, am con-
fident, will deplore the events Of the
past few weeks as much as l do,
even though nothing criminal has
really been done.
The-foundationof the old buying
system is rapidly crumbling to decay
in Virginia under the assaults which
our association has inaugurated and
put squarely on foot. Virginia will
do her part, will loyalty, faithfully,
sincerely and lovingly support her
sister states, Kentucky and Tonnes
see, in the glorious battle they have
made against the merciless greed of
large buying corporations and which
has given this association worldwide
reputation.
Virginia is now part of our or
ganization, and the name will be
changed to The Dark Tobacco Dis
trict Planters Protective Association
of Kentucky, Tennessee and Viz
GINA.
The "hill-billy" has a legal right to
sell his tobacco to whom he pleases,
and the buyer has a legal right to
buy from the "hill-billy."

To the Editor: In this day when
a portion of the northern people are
casting envious eyes on the growing
prosperity of the South and buying up
old repudiated reconstruction bonds
merely to get pretext to rob us in
a new way, it would make interesting

years after the ending of fractricidai

About a year ago there was much

that he was a resident of Greensboro
and did not live in this district This
charge he and his friends Indignantly

Blackburn took up temporary resi-

ers of Wilkes according to the Chron-

Blackburn, on the ground that he is
not resident of Wilkesboro. There
is no law requiring a Congressman
to reside in the district he represents
and so far as The Landmark is con-

Why should there be scofing

Why nurse prejudices,
Why not all be friends,

If. there in the Senate,
They should rise sometime,
Saying: Gents, behold us!
