MANY growers will not join the organiza-
ton because they cannot get all OF their
money down and can sell at the same price
as the association members. This fact has
brought on a war between neighbors which
promises TO be long and bitter and is causing
much suffering, since tobacco 10 the only
bread winner relied on by the poorer
farmers In this part Of the State.
A few years ago kentucky spent thou
sands OF dollars trying to punish the toll
gate raiders and protect the property OF the
corporations owning and maintaining the
public highways. Tollhouses were blown
up with dynamite and in some instances
the families Of the keepers were killed.
The State militia was called into action
and companies Of State guards sent here and
there to protect toll collectors. but without
avail. The trouble was only put down
when the counties bought the pixies and
began to operate them.
The grievance OF the night raiders againet

has bought up nearly all the independent
factories and has been able 10 rot ice own
price 90 the raw tobacco. The night raiders

men accused by the boy have resulted in
no convictions, and as a result most Of the
trust tobacco stemmeries have gone 10
Louisville, Paducah or some of the other
large towns where they oan have ample
protection from the night raiders.
The destruction Of property within the
last few weeks has been on the increase,
and since the plant beds and barns filed
with last years tobacco crop are at the
mercy Of the raiders much alarm Is felt.
The situation has become such that there
is a war between the adherents Of the night
raiders and Of the tobacco trust,
The anti-raiding people are retahating
and destroying the plant beds and barns
Of the raiders, and unless the Governors
proclamation has the desired erect the
great staple product Of southern and west
ern Kentucky will suffer serious decrease
this season.
Last week the plant beds OF Kiah Malone,
in Trigg county, were found to have been
sown with some kind OF grass seed and
Mr.. Malone appeared at the Mount Era
schoolhouse and accused one OF the men
present at a meeting with having sprinkled
the grass seed over his tobacco bed. Since
then several tobacco beds belonging to
friends Of the raiders have been cut to
pieces with hoes and rendered worthless.
Masked horsemen with garden hoes in
their hands and revolvers buckled about
their waists made dash through the edge
of Caldwell and Christian counties and
scraped the tobacco beds Of dozen large
growers Many Of the smaller growers
have this year taken advantage OF the
experience Of last season, put their tobacco
beds within gunshot OF their homes. and
with the aid OF watchdogs have thus far
been able to keep the raiders away.
An estimate Of the damage inflicted by the
raiders up to this time Is that one-third Of
the crop has been eliminated and that ten
barns containing last years crop have been
burned besides which a number OF hogs
heads OF tobacco have been rolled into the
Cumberland River.
The dark hurley tobacco district includes
all Of southern and western Kentucky
and extends into Tennessee Hopkinsville,
Nashville. Louisville andsPaducah are the
chief markets. The headquarters OF the
organization, which has been formed for
the purpose Of holding the tobacco in a
pool and forcing the American Tobacco
Company to pay the farmers price. is at
Junction City.
There are large number Of storehouses
and independent factories for holding and
manufacturing the tobacco. The local
hanks furnish the tobacco grower with
money with which 20 raise the crop, and the
organization takes the tobacco and hoidh
