farmers. He overshadows the
whole with black cloud on
which he writes "TRUST." This
is as Mr.. Givens wishes it, hence
he paints it so.
Here let us interject that Mr..
Givens asserts THE BEE is owned
by a "great corporation" Mr..
Givens knew when he wrote this
that 1t was false.
If any coal operator or the
guiding spirit Of any coal COM
pany in Hopkins county or else
where opposes the business or
ganization of farmers for self
protection against the tobacco
trust THE BEE does not know it.
This is farmers organization,
not coal operators organlza-
ton, hence we asked the farm
ers. And there are many other
farmers who entertain the same
opinions expressed by those
whom THE BEE interviewed
We trust that these gentlemen
may discover elements of practi.
cal good to themselves in the
proposed organization that will
overcome the element of objec-
tionable politics they now see in
it. OF course the politician will
not fail to make the best of any
such opportunity that brings
him into contact and sympathy
with large number of voters.
And there is nothing wrong in
this providing he uses his oppor-
tunlties decently and with fair
ness. But he will bear watch
ing at all times.
We write with regret but
without anger and in candid
spirit those parts of this article
touching our contemporary, the
editor Of the Madisonville Hust-
Ter. If he possessed the elements
of honesty in politics and would
permit his political plays to be
tinged with sincerity there
would be some pleasure and
profit in discussing with him
matters of public interest. But
upon the lines he pitches "argu-
ment" such discussion is neither
edifying or profitable.
The editor of The BEE has al
ways lived in Hopkins county
and has ever felt a deep interest
in the social and material wei
fare of the people of Hopkins
county. But the editor of THE
BEE has earned his living in
Darlington for the past twenty
years. He has made Darlington
his place of residence for twelve
years and lives here today. la
the calendar of Mr.. Givens' dem
agoguery, it is a crime against
the county and against the State
for a man TO live in Darlington
and entertain anything but
hostile opinion and fighting at
titude toward those concerns
that have developed the re-
sources of the county and stead
lily coined the dormant coal
veins into circulating ca s h
through wages to labor and the
purchase price of materials and
supplies widely distributed every
month through every avenue of
trade in Hopkins county.
However, there are those here,
among them the editor of The
BEE, who have opinions of their
own, which they retain the
courage to act upon and to ex-
press publicly when they
choose. Mr.. Givens NAV club
many people into submission,
may scare others into silence
but his wild attack on THE BEE
would Indicate that he fears
that enough of the people may
find him out during this genera
ton to prevent his fooling the
majority all Of the time.

JUDGE GUENs
And The FARMERS.

md THE FARMERS.
The Madisonville Hustler, al
ways the reflection of its editor
Mr.. @. @. Givens, the most able
and INSCRIPTIONS Of political
demagogues, seeks to make polit-
ical capital out OF an article pub
lished in the last issue of THE
BEE touching the proposed or
ganization of Hopkins county
farmers, and alleges that THE
BEE is trying to ''keep as many
farmers as possible out of it. ("
This is not true. THE BEE would
like to be able to say that Mr..
Givens is laboring under misap-
prehension but is forced by a
knowledge Of the truth to say
that he is prompted only by his
habit of misrepresentation which
always evinces itself when he
discovers an Opportunity to stir
up class hatred in a political
campaign. The BEE has no OBJ
lection in the world to the farm
ers organizing for protection
against the tobacco trusts. On
the contrary, The BEE has for
months been publishing all of
the encouraging news obtainable
about the movement for self
protection by the tobacco grow
ers, and has encouraged through
such publicity a continuance of
efforts to the desired end. In
this issue THE BEE makes an
nouncement of another meeting
and would like to see the farm
ers attend these meetings and
join in the movement if they find
the plan offered is practical for
their relief.
The intelligent farmers will
know best what is best for them
when they personally investigate
the plan. They do not need any
assistance in this matter from
The BEE, nor yet from the editor
of the Hustler. For our part we
prefer to await the judgment of
the farmers. :.
The editor of The BEE has no
prejudice on the subject. Our
news article published last week
was entirely, as therein stated,
the expressed opinions of a num-
Der of farmers, Democrats and
Republicans, whom we inter
viewed. The editorial squib was
but reflection of these farmers
opinions. We do not hesitate to
reiterate the sentiment. IL is
too late now to control the Hop
kins county production of tobac-
CO for 1905. Mr.. Givens' edito-
rial TRADE demonstrates conclus-
iyely that it is ''not too late (for
him) to play politics." He ma
nipulates the proverb and it
reads "never too late to do evil"
We are speaking now Of Mr..
Givens, not of any farmer. Be
cause The BEE has published,
clearly and in definite terms, the
honest opinions of certain farm
ers who are not in accord with
the movement in which Mr.. Civ
ems aspires to become leader;
with no other excuse than that
this reflection of farmers opin-
ions was published in THE BEE,
whose home is in the busiest Of

Judge Witt very considerably allowed
several to testify yesterday, who were
summoned for to-day, in or1s. that they
might get off to 20 on the Hcplasoph ca

There seems to be an erroneous Inn
preston abroad that the mere verbal
summons BY deputy sergeant is INSULT

of those who ignore such summons are
likely to ascertain to their sorr ow. a rule
will be issued against sl,h persons re-

HAD A NOTABLE t'I. Y CAREER
Editor Of Southern Literary Mes:

The death Of Or. Benjnmin Blake Minor
carly yesterday morning Is tho breaking
of one Of theefew links TINT remain be-
tween tho virginia Of the past and the
Virginia Of the present
Dr.. Minor had been feeble for months.
but did not die Of wasting illness. His
departure was the logical answer of ma
turc to natures laws. Had Dr., Minor
lived until next october he would have
been cighty-sevcn years of1age. Though
his body had almost worn OUT to the day
OF his death his mind was clear and his
spirit bright and cheerful DR.. Minor
was literary man Of tho old school.
Law was his first love, but literature
ws hts last and best love. He was for
many years the sole surviving editor of
the Southern Literary Messenger, the
leading magazine of It's time, established
in 1884, and made famous two years later
by, the spicy criticisms Of Edgar Allan
Poe.
So far into the past did the span OF
Dr. Minors life reach and so important
was the sphere in which even MS q child
he moved, that he was one OF the few
given to live into the present, whose
eyes have seen the notable forms and
fnces of John Marshall, John Randolph
Of Roanke and other great men Of their,
period He was on almost, intimate terms
with John c. Calhoun, and was ono of
his honorary pall-bearers as a represent

A Notable Work.
So arfable and so cordial was he that
few men IN private life were so generally
known to young and old as he.
The browning event Of his life, an
achievement which justly gave him great
qualification, was the publication but a
few weeks ago of his history Of the South
crn Literary Messenger No one living
was SO well fitted for this Important task
as hc and right well did he perform It.
The cords of his vitality well nigh
snapped but week ago to-day. He
tainted from fatigue. caused by ascending
one flight Of steps, and on Sunday two
such fainting spells came upon him. due
to over exertion. Once he fell In his
