Rev. Lew s. Farewell Sermon.

Rev. j. A. Lewis will conduct his
farewell services at the Hartford Meth.
odist church next Sunday. Subject IL
a. m, "Filled with the fullness of
God" 1880 p. M, Farewell" with this
service Rev. Lewis active ministry
closes, and marks the end of forty
nine years of active ministerial work.
This course is taken by Bro. Lewis on
account of impaired health. He has
been in charge OF the work in Hartford
circuit two years, the first unassist-
cd but the last year he has been ably
aided by Rev. j. Frank Baker. 1t
is with many regrets that Hartford
people give Bro. Lewis and his estim-
able family up. They all have become
attached to them by ties of friendship
and love and the announcement thai
they are TO leave us causes universal
regret.

night RIDERS ATTACK
HOMES OF PLANTERS.
Fire Into One, But Spare Crops on
Condition That Farmers
Sign Agreement.

HopkinsvillC, Ky, Sept might
riders got busy in the northern part
of this county early Sunday morning
and news of their operations has Just
reached here. about 1870 o'clock 100
men rode to the home of W. J. Ladd,
and calling him to his door demanded
that he follow them TO the barn. He
asked them to wait until he could
put on his shoes, and they agreed to
do so, but when he turned to go into
the house they opened fire and about
100 shots were fired, most of them be-
ing stopped by the logs of which the
house was built. Several of them
however found their way into the
rooms where his wife and several
children were sleeping.
When Ladd joined the riders again
they took him downto the barn and
told him they had at first decided to
destroy his tobacco but that If he
would come into Hopkinsville and
sign a contract this morning, not TO
sell to the trust, they would let him
go. He agreed and the men then
went on to the homes of J. NJ. Grove
and Oscar Smiley. where they called
them out and warned them also to
come in and sign to-day.
They were further instructed TO see
that Joe Clark and John Rogers. also
farmers in the same neighborhood and
the latter a Magistrate, signed an
agreement.
Ladd, Grove and Smiley came into
town this morning and signed, bring
ing the first news of the attack.

ISLANDER RETRACTED
BY REV. HUNT.
ExonerateS Augustus E. WILL
son of His BaSeleSS
Charges.

1t is not often that minister of the
gospel is compelled to swallow his
words as completely and quickly as
the Rev. Hunt, a Baptist minister
who made a speech at the Long Run
Baptist Association, in which he charg
ed that the Republican candidate for
Governor was in league with the liquor
interests, and that they had promised
to raise q campaign fund of 100000
in his interest. After a few days de-
liberation, and inquiery into the
matter Rev. Hunt issued the follow
ing statement, retracing everything
he had said:
ITO the Public:
1T is because l wish to wrong no
man that this statement is made. On
two occasions recently in addressing
myself to the temperance question, l
have given publicly the report that
the liquor interests of Kentucky were
willing to put up a campaign fund Of
$500 900 in order to secuer the election
A. E. Wilson, the Republican candi-
date for Governor.
my words as to this league between
Mr.. Wilson and the liquor interests
were made upon what appeared to be
high authority.
"Since making the remarks above
referred to have been thoroughly
convinced that the story has no foun-
dation in fact, and SO not only with
draw my words, but express my
profound regret that l should have
been led by what \ thought good au-
thority, to the giving of currency to
a false story. M. p. HUNT"

never elected and was guilty to all
INSCRIPTIONS and corrupt appropriation
of another mans office, and that h.
used the power thus wrongfully and
unfairly obtained to re-elect himself
and after he was reelected, used the
power to wipe out the old leaders
and to make himself Senator, SO ex-
tending the circle of the influence of
the original fraud, land / do not believe
that Kentucky honor and manhood
will stand for a fraud thus exposed
and made public, and ] do not be-
lieve that he will ever be Senator.
81 charge that he instituted the pri-
mary because he dseired that there
should be no platform that the party
could be held to; but that each candi-
date should be free to write his own
platform or have somebody else write
it for him,to put on the lid and preach
prohibition in the dry counties, and to
stand in with the vets in the other
counties.

that time and again he has absolutely
changed the control of the Democratic
State Central Committee and expelled
representatives of whole counties in
different parts of the State, and put
in their places different representa-
lives time and again solely to force it
partly into all kinds of Democratic
situations, while the older leaders
and all the active working leaders Of
the Democratic party have been thrust
into the background and, condemned
to silence and obedience.

young men. Whenever one turns up,

given the useful years of long life

him who are the men to whose wis
dom, patriotism and earnest zeal you
look for true Democratic doctrines or
Democratic measures to-day. Where
are the men? Where is Carlisle, Lind
say, Blackburn and McCreary? What
new men are coming up to take their
places? -
For Carlisle or Lindsay we substi-
tute Percy Haley. For McCreary and
Blackburn-oh, well, take any of the
ready tools that do the bidding of
the Democratic boss. No man dares
10 become leader among the Demo-
Gratis unless he leads subject to the
orders of the King. If he dares to
show any independence the machine
runs over him and ends his useful
ness.
"These questions should go to the
heart and good sense OF the Demo-
Gratis. All the acts of Gov. Beckham
are hurtful to his party"

RECENT HISTORY
CALLED TO Mind.
South Trimble, Alleged Re-
form Candidate Shown up.
Letter Which he Wrote to ThOmp-
son During Campaign of ~
1899.

Some of our readers will remember
the letter which South Trimble wrots
to his friend w. F.. Thompson in
1899, for the purpose OF securing a
change in Commissioners of the Elec-
ton Board for Franklin county. Many
persons, however, have never read it.
or have forgotten it. In order that
they may see what sort of material
is offered by the Democrats for the
next highest office in the State we
reproduce this remarkable letter. fol-
lowing pertinent questions by the
Louisville Herald:
who is the Democratic nominee for
Lieutenant Governor?
South Trimble.
Is he the same South Trimble who
was recently a. member of Congress
and who has long been a leader in
Democratic machine politics?
Yes, this is the same South Trim
bic.
Is he the same South Trimble who
is now running with Hager on an al
legged reform platform?
Yes, this is the same South Trim
BILE.
Is he the same South Trimble who
in 1899 wrote that now famous
letter to w. Il. Thompson urging him
to allow himself to be tool to the
malicious purposes of the machine?
Yes this is the same South Trim
BILE and here is the letter;
Monday, Oct. =, 1899.
Mr.. w. +. Thompson, Frankfort,
Ky.-My Dear Mr.. Thompson: will
preface the contents of this letter by
saying that you haven't a better friend
in Franklin county than | am and
it is because of my friendship for
you that write this letter. You were
indicated by the County Committee
as one of the Election Commission
ers for this county. No better man
could have been appointed, but it is
an unenviable position, and one you
should not accept.
Our county is all right-safely Dem
ocratic but city elections cannot be
won WITH A FAIR COUNT, and you
know that as well as | do. Incompe-
tent, unreliable Republican judges will
have to be appointed. The right OF
the Republicans to indicate who shall
represent them as judges will have to
he ignored, and the Election Commits
sioners will have to do this or receive
the i'll will of the city Democrats.
II would not do it, for | could not
conscientiously do so, and | know that
YOU would not; therefore, my advice
to you is to refuse to act
81 had a talk with Judge Pryor on
the subject, and he said if you would
refuse to act he would appoint any
one that we might indicate, which
would be Ben Marshal You know Ben
Is so partisan that he thinks anything
is right that helps the Democrats.
Think this matter over, and use
your best judgment, and if you con-
ciude not to accept, write me imme-
GiGtely, and | will have the change
made. l will also see that your in
terests are represented in the APP
pointment of officers on your side
of the river. Let me hear from you
at once. Sincerely your friend,
SOUTH TRIAIBLE."
